Don't let the doctrine of election get in the way. We don't know who they are. Somebody said to Spurgeon, 'You can't preach that doctrine. You can't preach that doctrine to everybody because they might not be elect.' And he said, 'Well if you'll go around and pull their shirt up so I can see if they have an ';E' stamped on their back, I'll preach only to them.' I don't know who they are and so we go to the ends of the earth because this is a secret decree known only after faith, not before. So I can with no hesitation cry out to all to come to Christ.

John MacArthur
