Like I said initially, this illustration is not complete/perfect. I'm only human lol. I guess the point I initially tried to get across was that, in our natural state, man detests God, not because God is bad, but because we are bad. When the Holy Spirit moves within us (1st step), we then move towards God (2nd step). You cannot earn your salvation, or even play a part in your salvation, because you have zero inherited goodness inside your natural self. The left hand/right hand thing you are mentioning is a large issue within the church. The way the reformers saw it is that there are 2 churches, the visible and the invisible church. The visible church is the brick and mortar church buildings people attend. Not all are saved who go to church. Then there is the "invisible" church, meaning, there is a group of people, spanning all times and all places, these people are those who will be saved, the elect. If you seek Biblical proof of this, look no further than the many times God speaks (through his writers) about "those who's names are in the Book of Life." Different translators may call it different names, but that should get you where you need to go.
