Bible Question: Does anyone understand God's election and can maybe explain it a little? |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, puppytoes, There is unconditional election and conditional election, depending on one's view. I don't want to cause any divisions ... just present the facts. Calvinism says there is unconditional election is that before God created the world, he chose to save some people according to his own purposes and apart from any conditions related to those persons. Source: John Calvin (1559). "Of the Eternal Election (3.21.7)". Institutes of the Christian Religion. Scripture: John 15:16; Acts 13:48; Rom 9:15-16,22-24; Eph 1:4-5,11; 1The 1:4-5; 2Tim 1:9 Arminianism says there is conditional election is the belief that God chooses, for eternal salvation, those whom He foresees will have faith in Christ. This belief emphasizes the importance of a person's free will. Scripture: Isa 45:22; John 3:16, 7:17, 7:37, 12:32; 1 Tim 2:3-4; Rev 22:17 Calvinism and Arminianism has caused divisions and that is not my intent.
