He granted them the repentance, which means they couldn't repent unless he chose to grant it to them, and once again, Ephesian 1:3-5 clearly shows that he predestined us to be sons of Jesus, which means we are saved. As Jesus said:
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
John 6:44 ESV
And he also said
All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Matthew 11:27 ESV
So let's see, no one can know Jesus except the Father, and no one can know the Father except Jesus, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
This shows unless you are chosen, you'll never know God. Also,
no one understands; no one seeks for God.
Romans 3:11 ESV
So it's clear no one seeks God or can know God unless he is chosen

Ephesians: Sure, if you interpret us like that - Though Id disagree with that passage itself in the statement that he created anyone to be holy and blameless in his sight, with the exception of the Lord Jesus Christ. he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ doesnt mean that we were predestined to accept this adoption nor be saved through it, but it rather says that Jesus Christ was destined by God to adopt us as his own through His dying on the cross.
John - But there are plenty of those who did indeed come to him - Thousands, in fact. The use of draws in that passage infers present tense or an action being committed rather than one that was predestined to occur - As in, the Lord guides us but the Lord did not choose us to be saved or not to be saved before we existed.
Matthew - Again, the usage of chooses to reveal him seems to indicate that the Lord didnt predestine for anything to occur, but rather it is His choice and in His wisdom to show his ways to those who are faithful to him rather than those who were already chosen. The usage of the word really doesnt help the case of predestination at all here. You seem to confuse this with predestination and him choosing people before their existence to be chosen, though this text again definitely hints at this being an action that He takes during ones lifetime, presumably through faith in the Lord.
Romans - This later states that there is none that does good, which certainly and very clearly is a display of Gods ordaining of free will in ourselves rather than predestining a few to be holy and to be saved. Certainly this is impossible if there is none that does purely good, correct?
EDIT: Good night, for now I must slumber..I look forward to continuing this debate though!

See, we both read the same passages but have different interpretations.
And also your verses didn't convince me much, because I have been from Calvinism to Arminianism before, and I found extreme flaws in it. And as for Ephesians, it clearly says he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him, in love he predestined us to adoption to himself to be sons of Jesus Christ, which states that he predestined US to be adopted, not Jesus dying hoping we would be adopted. And he chose us, Jesus didn't die and hoped the we chose him, he chose us. And as for choosing, no one is born saved, God grants you repentance and faith at a point in your life, if you're chosen, between the time of birth and death, you will have repented

Yes, the difference being it becomes a definite interpretation. Preventing (limiting) arguments.
It is easy to say these schisms etc are detrimental to Christendom as a whole.

Viridus, Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind
Tbh I think hes scared of what he made lmao! He was probably thinking it would be a good idea to have people and him being on spectator mode. Then he would eventually think by like 800s or so it got out of hand and tried making us kill ourselves and bringing plagues and war.
