Yes, most people get converted through Arminians, because knownly or not, the call of the Gospel is given in the biblical way.

The first words of Christ ministry were, 'Repent and believe the gospel', Paul urged people to 'be reconciled with God', Peter anounced that they had to 'repent and be converted' and so on.

The stiff upper-lip hypercalvinist is afraid of such statements in case their over polished pet doctrines get compromised.

We are to preach, but God does the preparation of the soul, the opening of the heart, as said of Lydia, the willing, the drawing to himself, the awakening of the spirit, the convicting, the opening of the ear, the softness of heart, the opening of the understanding, etc...

Someone said that we are to preach as if all depended on us, but pray as if all depended on God.

He that sows the seed will turn up with his sheaves, is the promise, because the call of the Gospel is *guaranteed* by the eternal election.

As for your question, no, no mystical experience, purely remembrance. This is because the passover was a type/shadow of the real thing, Christ our passover being slain for us. Therefore we can expect much more in the fulfilment than in the shadow. And I believe scripture teaches that. eg. 1 Corinthians 10:16.

Any chance of answering to my question?

... the 1689 Confession...
Paragraph 7. Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this ordinance, do then also inwardly by faith, spiritually receive, and feed upon Christ crucified, and all the benefits of his death; the body and blood of Christ being spiritually present to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to their outward senses.

Yes, some truths in the text have spiritual reality, but to bring it to the sensual side per magic mystical feeling is not there any time.

E. G. Do you reckon the Israelites eating the passover had a mystical awareness, or a grateful remembrance of true facts in their past history ?

John 6:53 KJV
(53) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
So, brother, however you interpret the eating of his flesh and drinking his blood, you will still have to do it, or you have no life in you. So how and when do you eat his flesh and drink his blood?

In this case the eating of his flesh and blood represents our union with Christ (identification with him) and of being part of him.

See,
"For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones"

... whole world of difference between sinners coming to Jesus because they ARE elect, and God electing sinners BECAUSE they come to Jesus. ... Salvation is dependent on the sovereign will and purpose of God. And none that are saved will ever fully understand the mysteries of God. Anyone who believes they do reminds me of the devil who wished to be like unto God.

E.g. the Greek word for 'whosoever' (G3956) used in John 6:37 is the same used in John 3:16, which means 'all that' ... say believe, come, looks or whatever.

"All (G3956) that the Father gives me shall come to me;
and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37

On the same line the whosoever of Rev 22:17, refers to those that 'are inclined to'.

Yes indeed, sister. I do not ponder for very long on it, just enough to give me a few thoughts. Such as...
With stockpiling of weaponry and ammunition in America, and with the economy and jobs severely affected by lockdown procedures, with this leading to near starvation for some families, and supposing the pandemic cannot be controlled any other way, and the guv not willing to let it run and do its worst, thusly the austerity continues until some folks just cannot cope any more, and they see stealing food as the only way of survival, at gunpoint of course, maybe stealing money, cars etc., maybe forming into groups or gangs, living in forests like Robin Hood, robbing the rich so that their families can eat, and so on and so forth.
I believe some futuristic films, which I never watch, portray such a time, when the world is unrecognisable compared to what it is today. A forewarning? Some sort of weird prophecy?

This same pattern can be perceived by reading or listening to Eusebius of Caesarea's Church history, written in the 4th-century, giving a chronological account of the developments in Early Christianity from the 1st century to his day.
One can see how the wave of persecutions arose sometimes as it were from nowhere, but they came and eased.
