Predestined - Elected - Chosen: What do these Biblical terms really mean? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503181687)

For centuries unnecessary confusion and conflict has run rampant throughout the Church concerning the terms predestined, elected, and chosen. It is extremely important that each Believer obtains an accurate understanding of their correct meaning and application. The Christian faith and the very character of God are literally defined by these terms.

Do not believe the lie that these terms are too difficult to understand. God wants the issue of predestination settled in every Believer's mind and in the Church. Presdestined - Elected - Chosen, a ten-year journey and God-appointed mission in Michael's life, will accomplish just that.

In Predestined - Elected - Chosen you will discover that God has predestined, elected, and chosen...

- 'How' eternal salvation would be made available; that is, by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, not of works

- 'What' He expects of every Believer who receives Jesus Christ as their Savior; that is, a righteous, sanctified life

- 'Purposes' for individuals and entire people groups

Did God also predestine, elect, and choose 'who' will and 'who' will not receive eternal salvation? Answering this question is the book's focus.

In Predestined - Elected - Chosen Michael takes on 102 'challenges.' These challenges are arguments and Scripture references used by both the Electionist camp (those who support the predestined eternal future view) and the Free-Will camp to support their respective views. No stone is left unturned as these challenges are contested against the scrutiny of thorough Biblical evaluation.

The book format makes for an easy read, setup to function as a quick reference guide concerning any Scripture which sheds light on this critical subject. Michael's writing style is also easy to follow, absent of the complicated terms and confusing language typically used by theologians to address this issue.

This is such an important issue. The doctrine of Election and the Free-Will view are literally two mutually exclusive religions. Getting this matter settled in the Church is right up there in importance with our understanding that 'salvation is by grace, through faith, not of works.' It is a non-negotiable of the Christian faith.

Although theologians and laymen alike have been debating this issue for centuries, Michael has been able to successfully and concisely settle this centuries-old debate once and for all. He has been able to clearly demonstrate which view is in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ found in the Bible.

Predestined - Elected - Chosen is a must-read for every Believer. Getting a clear understanding of these terms is absolutely essential to ensure that you are truly 'thoroughly furnished unto all good works' by 'rightly dividing the word of truth' concerning this important matter.

It is God's will for you to get this matter settled. God is not hiding the truth from anyone. The effectiveness of the Church to disciple its members and to reach the Unsaved for Jesus Christ depends upon it. Your understanding of the very attributes and character of God depends upon it.

The wrong view of the terms predestined, elected, and chosen works against everything God desires to accomplish in this world and in the Church, while it works in perfect cooperation with the desires of Satan to steal, kill, and destroy.
