The Elect are the Puritans that have gone through "conversion". In conversion, the Puritan will have an experience with God in which he tells them that they are going to heaven. Once a Puritan has gone through conversion they are part of the Elect (the people who are going to heaven). If you do not experience conversion then you are damned to Hell.
The elect are simple those whom God chose from eternity to be His own peculiar people. The reprobate (or in another words, damned) are those God destined for hell and destruction. There are many who do not hold on to this doctrine of election and reprobation. Salvation is of the Lord. "What shall we say then, is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid..." (taken from Romans 9). Our good works cannot contribute to our salvation for they are but filthy rags. God is sovereign and He alone chooses His elect who will have eternal life.
Apparently not a damned thing. See current resident for proof.
Predestination: The belief that god has determined in advance who will be saved(the elect) and who will be damned( the reprobate)
Damned Damned Damned was created in 1919-09.
Calvin's theory of double predestination asserted that the elect had always been chosen by god, so he knew form the beginning of time who were going to be saved and who was going to be condemned, his belief in 'signs to the elect' meant that, if you lived a good life, it was a sign that you were in the elect but could not guarantee you a place.
No. Christianity is a "singling" religion. It separates the saved from the damned; elect from reprobate. Christianity does not attempt to join everyone together. A good example of this is the principle of the antithesis. Christians are called to be in the world, but not of the world.
These are the damned was created in 1963.
The Damned Thing was created on 2006-10-27.
The Puritan doctrine of predestination is the belief that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned, regardless of their actions or beliefs. This belief is based on the idea of God's sovereignty and the concept of the elect, who are chosen by God for salvation. Puritans saw themselves as part of this elect group and believed that living a godly life was a sign of being chosen by God.
