There are Calvinists who are fond of calling themselves and some others the Elect. The Elect, as per Calvinism, are specific persons for whom Christ died, and are assured of salvation with no possibility of getting lost. However, the gospel that Jesus preached calls people to repentance (Mark...

Man NOT saved is NOT in Christ, and while NOT in Christ, man is dead because Christ is our life (Col 3:4). A vast majority of preachers teach that to be in Christ, people MUST first ACCEPT the gift of salvation and believe. So, how can a man ACCEPT & BELIEVE while still spiritually dead?

1. The Elect does not include everyone, but only certain specific individuals chosen by God before the foundation of the world. They are sure to inherit eternal life. 2. The Elect are those whom God chose before the foundation of the world because God foreknew they will of their own free-will...

(This thread is a companion thread to the thread "The Book of Life and Calvinism" where this poster discussed the issue of blotting out of names from the book of life. This poster believes that by God's grace, Adam & Eve and all their descendants constitute the elect, their names written down in...
