Act 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
However I've been told by Calvinist this means they were appointed and then believed
The Greek words it like this below;Directly translated to English for those who do not read Greek

Hearing and the nations rejoiced, and glorified the Word of the Lord and believed as many as were appointed to life eternal.

This clearly shows they were not appointed to eternal life until they believed. There must have been a Calvinist translator who worked on the KJV
