Or, (2) God chooses some people for damnation and others for salvation (Double Predestination)Īugustine of Hippo (354 – 430 AD) states: He chose some individuals to be saved unto everlasting blessedness in heaven and others He chose to pass over, to allow them to follow the consequences of their sins into eternal torment in hell What predestination means, in its most elementary form, is that our final destination, heaven or hell, is decided by God. (1) Appointed the eternal destiny of some to salvation by grace, while leaving the remainder to receive eternal damnation for all their sins, even their original sin. It has been stressed by Calvinists that Ephesians 1:4 demonstrates that God either: Consider Ephesians 1:4 (KJV):Īccording as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love I would like to continue in that line of thought and examine a common Calvinistic proof text. In another article found on, Tim Stratton has argued why “Calvinism is Impossible.” By “impossible” Stratton means logically impossible when held alongside other essential Christian doctrines.
