Do I claim that? Please can you show me.
I believe in the elect, chosen of God before the beginning of time, written in the Lambs book of life.

Who they are, we can only trust the testimony of the Holy Spirit and the testimony of belief in Jesus and His coming, death on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and resurrection to the Father, in the belief we too will be raised to eternal life in Christ Jesus Amen.

So what do you call me. A calvanist, an OSAS believer, or just a simple follower of Jesus.

And what of Judas? He appeared an apostle yet betrayed his Lord. But then Jesus said of him

John 17:12
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

I was taught that the elect could be for example, Israel, Abraham, Moses, Judas etc. These people were elected from the foundation of the earth, even Jesus, to do a particular job. I know Christians can be members of the elect as well, but I have never found out what their role is in life, unless the Apostle Paul is an example. I seem to think he was also elected for a particular roll. Maybe we should ask ourselves what we have been elected for to do for God? One thing I do know, is that scripture is deeper than we first think.

Night all.

Afterall if chosen by God from the beginning of time and in the book then you cannot be written out.

As for Judas he obviously was not one of the elect therefore never saved to begin with.

I believe all names are in the book, those whos names "have not been found" written in the book are those whos names have been blotted out.....


Revelation 3:5
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.


Who is he that overcomes?

1 John 5:4
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

________

Exodus 32:33

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.”

________
Revelation 20:15
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.






All names are in, those who are blotted out will no longer be found in the book. Whatsoever is born of God is promised to not be blotted out. (us saved believers)


Others will not have the righteousness of Christ imputed to them and will be blotted out due to the righteousness of God bringing justice to sin.

Clear as and understood well when one sees it as the book of the living with everyone written in and then only removed upon rejection of the truth.....and of course God knows from the foundation who will believe and who will not....MANY are called, but few chosen!

So God calls us from the foundation of the world , before we were born , but then He changes His mind , yet the bible says God does not change...

So while He throws us back into satan's world , He is also calling His Son a liar when Jesus said " I will lose not one "
This must be how people think about their god , but we have the creature of the world in whom we trust , faithful and true , and never tells lies , we are His children forever , eternally secure...

These ones who go on about us losing our Salvation maybe need to check to see if they are in the faith , seriously , God can take our life just like that...
