I agree that we go preach the Gospel to all . The message of reconciliation.

And that is the means by which people are called into the Kingdom.

We agree on enough to not divide over things we disagree on.

God calls through the Gospel

Man believes

Justification.

But you have man called to service before he’s justified. That don’t preach, in my opinion

God doesn't call an unsaved man to service. The man must be in Christ, justified. We are justified the moment we are placed in Christ.

correct. God calls a person to believe, and when they believe, they are justified. That is why the order Paul gives is foreknew, predestinated, called, justified, glorified!

Election is not a Calvinist only view. So it is not a Calvinist subject. There are not even any calvinists in here for You to go after yet you are responding to everyone from a Calvinist perspective

It’s wrong my friend.

I am not Calvinist and I believe in predestination. A lot of people are not Calvinist and they to believe in predestination. Predestination is in the word. It’s not a Calvinist thing. People make it a Calvinist thing like your doing

Every one who is a Christian has to come across the word ' predestination ' eventually . And they need to understand what the word means in context. And Election also. They both have entirely separate meanings.

Predestination has nothing to do with one being saved, rather, it is concerning the future of those already saved.

Or those that will be saved in the future...
