Can someone explain this term in light of Calvinism - and what precisely is meant by it? I've heard it spoken of in some reformed circles - but never explained. My first knee jerk reaction to this is that they are trying to teach that we are somehow responsible in our salvation - to do good works, keep the law, be completely righteous. But after looking into it I think that what is being said is simply that the unelect will have no excuse in eternity. Can any one elaborate for me?
