No.
The book of Romans reminds us that "nothing can separate us from the love of God."
According to Puritan theology, God had absolute sovereignty over all things, including predestining the fate of individuals. God's will was considered supreme, and humans were seen as inherently sinful and deserving of punishment. Puritans believed in the concept of the elect, who were chosen by God for salvation.
2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
No you can not be saved at all, with the help of the ten commandments only, You must admit in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, then only can you be saved. Otherwise you are lost for ever.
Reformed theology was developed primarily by John Calvin the bishopof Geneva Study into the life of Calvin will reveal that he regularily had men killed who did not share his theological views. his theology is basically refered to as TULIP in some theological cicles T-Total depravity of sinners to the popint they cannot choose to belive the gospel and be saved. U-Unconditional election-God chooses each individual to save the 'Elect" will be saved no matter what-no personal decision involved. L- Limited atonement-Christ did not die for every man but only for the elect Note (This teaching is clearly refuted in 2 pet 3 :9 " God is NOT WILLING THAT ANY should perish but that all men should come to repentance" Hebrews says speaking of Christ " That he by the grace of God tasted death for EVERY MAN" I-Irresistable Grace the "Elect" that God chose to save as individuals cannot resistt he call to salvation (No free will) P-Perseverance of the saints-those who are saved are saved for ever and cannot lose it Dispensational theology is typically attributed to a man named John Nelson Darby-he is accused of starting the system himself, but actually there ARE dispensations in the bible - he basically was used to reveal the truth already in scripture along dispensational lines.
If you are saved, you are believed to be granted eternal life in heaven according to most religious teachings. The concept of being saved typically refers to being forgiven and accepted by a higher power, leading to a positive afterlife outcome rather than going to hell.
The "elect" are those Christians who are saved; it is a concept from Calvinism. Since God is omniscient, he already knows who is saved and who is not. These people may or may not know they are saved themselves, but either way they are the "elect."
The bible says you are saved by grace , and not by your great deeds.
Yes, those who are not chosen or elected can still be saved through faith and repentance.
Yes. This is their warning message as odd as it sounds. Only the elect will know the end date because only they were smart enough to figure it out.
The elect.
The elect
You don't, if you were predestined to be in the elect you will be saved, if not you won't. You get no choice in the matter.
elect puritans are puritans who have been predetermined by god to be saved. Puritans believed that their destination was predtermined by god and that the elect or saints were to be saved and they were granted church membership meaning they had the right to vote on church issues including things like hiring and firing ministers deciding a ministers pay
Predestination: The belief that god has determined in advance who will be saved(the elect) and who will be damned( the reprobate)
The question of whether salvation is available to all or only to a chosen few is a debated topic in Christian theology. Some believe in the concept of predestination, where only a select group of individuals, known as the elect, are chosen for salvation. Others believe that salvation is available to all who accept it. Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on one's interpretation of scripture and theological beliefs.
No! not the elect can achieve salvation.All of us have a previleged.
you don't. If your name was not recorded in the lambs book of life from before the foundations of the world you simply don't. that being said who knows if it isn't written, so read your bible and pray to God to save you without ceasing. there are those who think they are saved because of an action they took, they will be dissapointed. there are those who know they are not saved. there are those who are elect and have not heard the truth yet but they will and then God will save them. that is why we teach , they are who we are waiting for. and there are those who are elect and saved.
