But who are the elect? Colossians 2:20 allows for a more expansive group to be elect than most people realize. The Greek in this passage can be legitimately translated in 6 different ways, one of which is very expansive. How do you know which of the 6 translations is the intended meaning, or do you simply chose the one that appeals to you the most?

Note, I could state that all in this chat are Christians, but that does not mean that there are not Christians outside this chat. Addressing one group that is elect says nothing about elect in other groups.
There is only elect who are saved.

Romans 8:22
Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.

hi solitude, I've been doing a bit of research, and it's seems there is a belief that the elect get spoken to by God before being saved and the none elect dot get spoke to at all before being saved,

Now according to my research the none elect not being spoken to at all, is a totally different idea unrelated to limited atonement , all tho it's been assigned to the doctrine of limited atonement for some strange reason, which seem to pointing towards people's wrong ideas of limited atonement, or a conspiracy theory that's has grown out of control

In my research it seems that limited atonement means God does indeed speak to both the elect and none elect whilst there in there unsaved condition, I believe a proper study of this apparent myth would clear things up.

I wonder do you have any views on this.
 
God foreknew only those He predestinated. Is this true or false?

If this were true it would mean that God created beings he did want saved.

God had foreknowledge of everyone and He not only predestined everyone for salvation, Jesus also tasted death for each and ever person (Hebrews 2:9 )

The calvinist lie by adding to God's Word something the Lord does not say when they claim He only provided salvation for those that receive it and get saved. But they lied having been deceived by the devil in to forsaking the whole counsel of God is favor of following the teachings of a murderer - John Calvin who is their idol that they worship



God is the creator. God loves everyone. Now, how do we get from those two observations, which are well supported by scripture, to God created some people just so they could be rejected? God, having created all humans had to know them before they were, so He clearly foreknew them.

People have to get help from the devil to believe God created some people just so they could be rejected

And of course the devil is happy to help them out by deceiving therm in to not accepting all of what the Lord says in His Word.



Not everyone is a child of God.

Nobody is claiming universalism is true. It's not.

None the less, the Lord has in fact provided salvation for ALL people He created.

But you'll notice the ones listening to the devil will accuse the Lord of not loving all people and not providing salvation for all people as they attack His character which they do by the leading of the demons that are leading them



God does not save unrepentant sinners.

No, He does not

This does not mean He has not provided a way for therm to be saved.



But who are the elect?

Those that repent of their sins and come to the Lord to receive salvation and endure abiding In Christ until the end of their lives.

Those that get born again and backslide having turned away from God disqualify themselves because THEY are the ones who turned away from Him.

2 Timothy 2:12
If we deny Him, He also will deny us

2 Peter 2:20
For if after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.



Do you believe those who are never saved are not the elect?

They were elect but they disqualify themselves by refusing to come to the Lord for salvation.

All people are predestined to be conformed to the image of God's Son (Romans 8:29,30) but sadly most refuse to repent of their sin and walk with the Lord.

Romans and Matthew 7:23 proves that God only predestinated the elct to salvation.

Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
 
All of those who are ever saved are the elect. You Dino246 should know this.
Don’t “should” on me. I’m not interested in your “should”.

If you can’t hold up your end of a respectful discussion, you can go sit in the corner and exemplify your handle.

Do you think you're a child of God?

You hold on to unrepented false belief of calvinist teaching.

Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Oh the irony!

So since one cannot be certain that they are saved until they achieve heaven, no one can be certain they are elect, is that what you claim (reference Jesus saying "begone, I never knew you")

I am saying that only the elect are ever saved.
