While I have dipped my toe in the Assemblies of God, and have sat through a few Baptist services, I don't get the whole idea of God creating UN-elected people. I mean, if He loves everyone, wouldn't He want all of us to live with Him in heaven? I know that there are several passages in the Bible about election. But it still seems to me that God still loves everyone, and wants all of us to be in heaven with us.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
God knows the end from the beginning, and therefore knows who will be saved and who will not, but He does not have us come into this world pre-programmed for one or the other outcomes (Calvanistic predestination). He gives everyone a free choice, and it is the exercise of that free choice which determines the fate of every one of us ...
Jesus taught "whosoever" - that means "anyone" ...
Mat 7:24 Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mt 10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
and other verses of Jesus own words. But now possibly the best known verse of Scripture, in its context ...
John 3
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: ...
There will be the majority who never chose to accept God's free gift of salvation, but that is their God-given choice. he has not created two different arms of humanity - one destined to be saved, and one destined to be lost.
Albeit a short, oversimplified reply, I pray it will help someone.
