     | 2,451 views

    Election is God’s purpose and initiative in man’s salvation. God is the one who acts. God’s initiative is there in revelation of His Word and in redemption. We balance election with human freedom.

Then there was the free will group that emphasized their choice in coming to God. When he realized he ...read more
