If you are saved, it’s because you were chosen by God before the foundations of the earth. The sovereign God of creation foreknew you and He predestined you.All Christians believe what I just said. You have to believe it because it is what the Bible unequivocally teaches.Having said that, it must be admitted that there is wide disagreement on exactly how you were chosen and what God foreknew and when you were predestined. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
