God knew us first , and no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them...
The Holy Spirit is the seal of God. That's Scripture! God's seal is not the Holy Spirit in one passage and then something else in another.
How does God know who are His? The Holy Spirit that He has placed within every believer! Amen!
Not as a son. God draws all men, yet, not all men become sons through the new birth.
When do you ever see the pronoun “this” in a passage where the noun that it replaces is NOT IN THE CONTEXT?
A pronoun replaces a noun that is in the context. So where is seal of Spirit in the context of 2 Timothy 2?
God elects before the foundation of the world, but not all are elect.

God is not a respecter of persons.
God does not play favorites when it comes to salvation.
Spoken by Peter, Acts 10. Followed by, “ but in every nation, they that fear Him and do what is right is welcome to Him.
Elect from every nation under heaven.
Only those in Christ are chosen, not before, but after they are in Christ. No one is chosen to be in Christ. That's not scriptural.

Elect does not mean selected.
It is a descriptor.
If means those who believed and are in Him.

Agree.
Once you adopt Calvinist view of elect... all of scripture becomes skewed to support it.. and it has psychological appeal.
We’re not talking Calvinism. Calvinists disagree with me adamantly on what I say. Arminians do too.
When someone REPEATS what the Bible says, don’t call it Calvinism.
The Bible says God choose US to be in Christ before the foundation of the world. Don’t change the words.
So all the epistles that are addressed to the elect are to Jesus? That’s interesting.
Throughfaith. Is the reason you believe one can fall away and lose salvation because you don’t believe one is adopted until the resurrection?
