I'm sorry, but no. You have grossly misunderstood the implications of the biblical teaching on God's sovereignty. Your misunderstanding is frightfully common, though. I feel inclined to refute it at more length simply because of that.
I have stated what most 'believers' do with the teachings of reformed theology, which is nothing regarding witnessing . What we do is what matters, not what we say, so it makes no difference what the intent of the calvinistic/reformed teachers is, or what they say. It only matter what the result is. You have it backwards. My view is an extremely small percentage. I am 0.5 point TULIP, yet I'm not an armenian (I hate labels btw but I say that because everytime I say I'm 0.5 point TULIP I am labeled armeinian). I know calvinist and reformers claim to be evangelistic, but their false doctrine of election kills their empty words.
