I.The PROCESS of the choice

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world Having predestinated (Eph 1:4-6) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

A. The Calvinist slant

The Five Points of Calvinism Total depravity Unconditional election Limited atonement Irresistible grace Perseverance of the saints Five articles of Remonstrance Total depravity Conditional election Unlimited atonement Prevenient grace Conditional preservation John Calvin Jacobus Arminius 1560 – – 1564

The second doctrine of Calvinism, Unconditional Election (predestination), is based on the first, Total Depravity. Calvinists say that since mankind is totally depraved and cannot respond in faithful obedience to the invitation of Jesus -- people cannot choose for themselves to obey or disobey God -- then God had to choose for mankind. Unconditional Election states that God chose some to obey and some to disobey. Unconditional Election is the belief that God, with no regard to the will of man, made an eternal choice of certain persons unto eternal life and some to eternal damnation and that number is so fixed that it cannot be changed.

taking vengeance that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (2Th 1:7-9) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

not willing that any should perish (2Pe 3:9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Who will have all men to be saved (1Ti 2:4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

(2Th 2:10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2Th 2:11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (2Th 2:12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
