It's like you did not actually read the very post of mine that you quoted in response. Here is again, what I said, and that which you quoted [and I will highlight]:
"... Israel after the flesh which are not the children of God [Romans 9:6-8; 1 Corinthians 10:18 KJB]; ..."
You then said, in response:
The focus of my reply, was on 'Israel' [not the world in general].
" ... First, no-one "after the flesh" are the children of God: ..."
Call me what you will, I had already posted all of the evidence in full elsewhere on numerous occasions, which takes several pages.

Who are the elect here...
1 Peter 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
You are as bad as those who also teach a hyper meaning and use of the word Elect.

1 Peter 1:2 KJB - Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1 Peter 1:3 KJB - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 1:4 KJB - To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1 Peter 1:5 KJB - Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:13 KJB - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1 Peter 1:14 KJB - As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1 Peter 1:19 KJB - But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:20 KJB - Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1 Peter 1:21 KJB - Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. -
Darrell C said: ↑This is about as ignorant a statement as I have seen posted before.
Free will? You seriously think men are saved through free will?
John 1:11-13
King James Version (KJV)
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
You create a concept of being "stuck in salvation?"
You are bereft of understanding concerning Salvation in Christ. Utterly bereft.

John 1:11 KJB - He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 KJB - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 KJB - Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Operation, the beginning, originates with God, verse 11 [see also Genesis 1:1 KJB, He is the Alpha]. Jesus was sent and came. Without this, there would never have been such Light.
Second part, Re-action, the "receiv[ing]" done by the people. God is love [1 John 4:8,16 KJB], and He draws.
They could not be "born again", unless they chose to "receive" Him, just as the choice was left to others who rejected Him [having first rejected the other messenger sent, John the Baptist: Luke 7:30 KJB - But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him."]
The "born again" is on the part of God, no doubt, but God forces no one to be "born again", thus the entire conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. Nicodemus had to choose to accept the free gift of God. Mankind must co-operate with God in the plan of redemption.
OSAS pretty much negates belief/faith and even love in the end, especially when tied to the false understanding of predestination. -
One Baptism said: ↑How so? Can you please give at least some detail? Sister White understood that a person's standing with God was based in ongoing relationship [a covenant of love, freedom to choose, and not force, rape of the will], and she understood that forgiveness [the covering of sin] could be revoked [thus uncovered] up to the time of the blotting out of sins, and understood the investigative judgment, that Matthew 18, and other texts teach, where God, has the record books of Heaven opened before the angelic hosts, even since the ending of the 2,300 prophecy of Daniel 8:13,14,26, etc KJB, revealing the lives of those who profess to follow in the Way.Click to expand...

Hebrews 8:7-8

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Your attempt to make the New Covenant the "new and improved" Covenant of Law is fine in the meeting places of cults, but it isn't going to stand up in a Christian setting.

2 Corinthians 3
King James Version (KJV)
3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Here are the promises of God when He promised the New Covenant:
Jeremiah 31:31-34
King James Version (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
And I don't see any "Do this...do that...don't do this...don't do that."
The Covenant of Law was an if/then Covenant, and was never meant to bestow eternal life:
Galatians 3:21-22
King James Version (KJV)
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
If you pay attention to v.21 you will see that Paul does not equate the Ten Commandments, or the Law...to the promises of God, which are fulfilled when men are brought into relationship with God through the New Covenant.
