Well, I believe that every name written in the book of Life will attend Gods party. There will be no fresh ink or eraser marks for it is sealed for an appointed time, and only Jesus Christ has the power to open it when that time arises. I adhere to the Pauline doctrine of Justification solely by faith. It is the true doctrine of the New Testament.
I believe this because all of its attributes are my testimony. I was imputed with the Holy Spirit and given my belief, love, desire to serve, understanding, and everything else pertaining to the only true living God and his word WITHOUT any desire to have it done , but I wouldn’t want it any other way now. I get a little perturbed sometimes when people walk all over me due to the new heart god’s put in me, but yeah, as humbly as I can muster up as I say there’s no doubt I’m chosen. It’s such a wonderful and beautiful glorifying god, direct to true doctrine that I want to publish it. I lie not when I say my testimony is much like Paul’s in that I made fun of Christian and never sought after Christ, but God had his way with me, and I cant think of any other way I would have it. EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO ANYTHING BIBLICAL IS GIVEN OF GOD. ITS 110% GOD (especially with salvation) AND 0% MAN. I KNOW. I LIVE IT!
God bless everyone.
Thanks

Right. …but you’ll nEver get anywhere with it here in the twilight zone.
“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.”
Isaiah 8:16-18
here if Jesus tells the chosen apostles of Israel this ….
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
John 15:16 KJV
it becomes proof that only some of us are chosen to be saved…
If it is said of the Jewish people so that prophecy was fulfilled regarding thier covenant breaking and idol worship before jesus died
“But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, And be converted, And I should heal them.”
John 12:37-40 KJV
Then here in the forum it applies to everyone we’re all blinded by God and u less he magically chooses to open our eyes individually we’re blind and dead even though it’s soecific prophecy regarding Israel’s covenant breaking
of he said this to that people
“The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:41, 43-44 KJV
Then here …. this doesn’t apply to all men after Jesus rose
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”
John 12:32-33 KJV
bitninstead nope he elects and only draws some to him the “ chosen ones “ who God loves enough to save . Out of all those sinners he doesn’t give a chance ……..
Here because Paul wrote something like this
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV
Here no one can hear the gospel unless they are the chosen ones …..::unless they are born spiritual I guess and not like those natural people who ……..need to be born of the spirit to be spiritual ……

all are called to become chosen, yet relatively few choose to become chosen.
the only reason you are doing this is to avoid the plain reading of the text, the gospel is preached, the elect believe it, thats it.
acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
