God's choice is not that he picks up some and leaves others. Choice is a subjective experience of having been able to respond to the revelation of God, a message to a time. Since it's open for all its not a preferential privilege to some.
Time is a slow revealer. So the message understood by the 'chosen' one may not be understood by others. That is why we need each other to understand the sign of God's revelation in each of us, a sign that Jesus is alive in us. Usually the sign of Jesus will be responded with crucifixion ie we need to be ready for a self emptying sacrifice. Kindness, mercy, compassion, love are the approaches of that sacrifice, not the rituals that are empty of God.
