With the way preacher4truth explains things about the Primitive Baptist, you will never understand what we believe. I don't think he understands himself. We believe that the scriptures teach that God choose an elect people, of a certain amount,(Eph 1) because by his foreknowledge he saw that all mankind was filthy and none would seek him and that their were none that did good, no, not one (Ps 53:2-3) Because they were totally depraved, he had his Son die on the cross as a sacrifice for their sins to clean them up and make them holy and without blame before him and Jesus said that he would lose none of them, but raise them up at the last day. (John 6:39). As the elect are born into this world, they are born with the sinful nature of Adam until God regenerates them and gives them his Holy Spirit. The inspired scriptures are written to God's regenerated children as instructions as to how God wants them to live their lives here on earth. There is a deliverance (salvation) here in time in coming unto a knowledge of the gospel. Understanding the gospel is not the cause of a person getting eternal life. Understanding the gospel is a product of being born again. Ask me anything that you have a question on and I will try to answer it. You will only get an evasive answer from Preacher4truth and not at all what we believe because he does not know himself. All of God's elect were saved eternally by Jesus's death on the cross.
