    All souls belong to God (Ezekiel 18:4)

    Here is how I understand the doctrine of reprobation: "Reprobation is the sovereign decision of God before creation to pass over some persons, in sorrow deciding not to save them, and to punish them for their sins, and thereby to manifest his justice" At first I was hurt and had to walk away...
