1 | Saved or not ? | Jer 17:9 | skccab | 189033 | ||
Hank, I know this has been gone over before, but not to the point of answering my question. You stated: "God has not made it His business to make any man privy to whether another man is saved or lost. It's the same with who's elect and who is not elect" You make it sound like one can be saved but not elect. How is this possible? What is the difference? I always thought that if you are saved then you are elect. Did I misunderstand you? blessings cheri |

2 | Saved or not ? | Jer 17:9 | Hank | 189035 | ||
Cheri, it's more likely that the fault lies more in my failure to make the point clear than in yours for failng to understand. Let's see whether a recasting of the idea will help to clarify it. Salvation is wholly of God. Man cannot save himself or keep himself saved. He cannot save others or keep them saved. Neither is he empowered to judge who is saved and who is not. And yes, I believe the Bible is quite clear that all regenerate believers are the elect of God. Many thanks for your inquiry, Cheri. And I do hope I haven't muddied the water any worse than it was! --Hank | ||||||
