Assume there are 100 believers at a point in time. 80 of these are Elect. Nobody knows exactly who God's elect are. All we know at a point in time is that these 100 people are believers.
There are bible verses warning believers (all 100 of them).
The Elect (80) will heed these and live as overcomers. These 80 people are known BY GOD, and were Elected by Him alone unto Salvation.
The others (20) will fall away as they were never Elect.
On our pilgrims journey, all that we know today is that we believe in Christ and we are part of the 100. We FOR SURE need to heed all of the warnings in the bible to make our call and election sure.
2 Peter 1
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
You still do not GET IT. People who only believe in their HEAD or Intellect,
are not Saved, because they have not been Born Again.
People Who Believe In Their HEART, which is a reference to believing IN THEIR HUMAN SPIRIT,
ARE SAVED, by that Born Again experience.
Here are examples of ONLY BELIEVING in their Heads, which does not SAVE:
James 2:19 (HCSB)
19
You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe—and they shudder.
Luke 8:26-33 (ESV)
26 Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus,
he cried out and fell down before him {in a worshipful position prostrate} and said with a loud voice,
“What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)
30 Jesus then asked him,
“What is your name?” And he said, “
Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
31 And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.
32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.
33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Matthew 8:28-32 (HCSB)
28 When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
29 Suddenly they shouted,
“What do You have to do with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
30 Now a long way off from them, a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 “If You drive us out,” the demons begged Him, “send us into the herd of pigs.”
32
“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.
Mark 5:1-15 (HCSB)
1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
2 As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him.
3 He lived in the tombs. No one was able to restrain him anymore—even with chains—
4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had snapped off the chains and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 And always, night and day, he was crying out among the tombs and in the mountains and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before Him.
7 And he cried out with a loud voice,
“What do You have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God, don’t torment me!” {Not a contradiction because one gospel mentions 2 men, while the others only mentions the spokesperson of the Group.}
8 For He had told him,
“Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9 “What is your name?” He asked him.
“My name is Legion,” he answered Him, “because we are many.”
10 And he kept begging Him not to send them out of the region.
11 Now a large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside.
12 The demons begged Him,
“Send us to the pigs, so we may enter them.”
13 And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and
the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.
14 The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened.
15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
There are the DEMONS THAT ONLY BELIEVED IN THEIR INTELLECT. Fell prostrate before HIM, called HIM
"Jesus, Son of the Most High God."
So Intellectual Knowledge is not enough to SAVE THEM.
John 6:66 (NIV)
66
From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him.
There is the SAME KIND OF BELIEF in Human Beings as the Demons, just
Intellectual Belief, which is not enough to SAVE YOU.
I HAS TO BE HEART (in the human spirit) KNOWLEDGE, to SAVE YOU, which is Born Again.
John 3:1-7 (NIV)
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."
3 In reply Jesus declared,
"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5 Jesus answered,
"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
6
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7
You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
