I’ve Never Met Anyone Who Believes in Predestination Who Does Not Believe They Are One of the Elect

I have been to a multitude of conferences and I’ve never heard a minister who believes in election acknowledge that one of their children is not one of the elect, either! I have, however, met a few people who can name someone who has lost his or her salvation…

This topic has been stewing in my mind ever since the passage of legislation allowing post-birth “abortions” in some cases, otherwise known as murder. What happens to aborted babies who were among the ones not elected, not even taking into account when they were aborted ? According to some of my contemporaries, logically, they will go straight to their places in eternal torment. What a ridiculous ideation to have of the One who created them, the Almighty God.

It is true that God has allowed some abhorrent things to happen to innocent children such as when both Pharaoh and Herod ordered the killings of male children. But those outcomes were consequences of our living in a fallen world, not because God predestined those events. I hope my reformed brothers and sisters in Christ will think about the assumptions they are making about God whenever they purport pre-elected salvation. Such a viewpoint in no way reflects the God of the Bible, our loving Savior, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit which enables us to bear the Fruit of the Spirit.
