The order in Romans 8:29-30
God foreknew
who He foreknew, He predestined
whom He predestined, He called
Whom He called, He justified
Whom He justified, He glorified
Predestined comes before calling.
The point of contention is that it is being stated by Kidron that predestination happens after conversion. Romans 8:29-30 refute that
According to this passage, which comes first?

Foreknowledge was a typo. Auto complete.
God did not foreknow every person in the sense that Paul is using the word in this passage.
Whom God foreknew, He ALSO predestined, called, justified, and glorified.
Is this referring to everyone? ( rhetorical question)
Pardon the misspells, autocomplete strikes again.
Your definition of foreknowledge is not correct, at least it cannot be in this context, because whom God foreknew He ALSO predestined, called, justified, and glorified.
You said predestination isn’t in the Bible, but you typed a verse that uses the word predestined. Predestined is the verbal form of the noun predestination. So you just showed that predestination is in the Bible.
Secondly, God did not foreknowledge every person, because whom He foreknew, He...
