He is not an enemy of the gospel but is freeing brothers and sisters who are trapped in that framework-your framework and presuppositions-rooted in Manichaeism, Gnosticism, and Stoicism from Augustine.

Yes he is

Incorrect-the ordo salutis is not defined by Calvinism or the confessions but by what is written in Scripture, as I have shown you.

You do not have to remain ignorant till then. Jesus will show you the truth.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6

John 8:12
Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

God salvifically loves all of his humanity and has graciously provided for everyone to be able to receive the treasures of the gospel by simple faith. Just as God is perfect holiness and would, therefore, never be pleased to act unholy, he is also perfect love and mercy and would, therefore, not be pleased to withhold the offer of salvation from billions of his creation, thereby delightfully assuring their eternal doom in hell when he could have just as easily offered them salvation.

God is not pleased to predestine the incomputable majority of his humanity to spend forever in the crucible of hell’s torment, which torment, by comparison, makes the most shuddering, gruesome, ghastly, and torturous woes of crime or natural catastrophe nothing more than trifling annoyances. Other biblical approaches but not Calvinism embrace these truths.
