you just said...”none are elected because of any type of merit on their part”. I have asked you before and I’ll ask you again. Even though you have yet to answer any of my questions.Not amazed at who liked your statement, nor that you made it.
Scripture is very clear, and you loathe it: All saved are elected by God, according to his purpose, calling and will.
Just because there are many Romans 9:20 people out there, that profess to be believers, yet hate this truth AND God's ways does not negate this fact.
Scripture? Romans 8:28 is for the elect. We are all called elect, Ephesians 1; 1 Peter 1:1; Titus 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; and as elect we are called to make our calling and ELECTION sure; 2 Peter 1:10. There are many more Scriptures which declare this truth.
Now, you all can mock this, and ridicule this if you desire, and you in fact do.
Those of us who embrace this truth glory in God, knowing that without this truth EXACTLY NO ONE would be saved, and knowing none are elected because of any type of merit on their part. Those who preach they are saved and chosen because God saw them do thus and so preach meritorious salvation, a false gospel and denial of grace.
Are you one of the “elect”?
And what did you do to become one of the “elect”. How did you get to be one?
Did God just choose you out of the blue, for no reason, so you could be one of the saved?
