Are the elect the only ones saved?

    Ken H,

    My comments to Bro. Glen are derived from the concept itself. If someone believes that "the elect" are all the children of God, then by implication all the children of God are going to receive the full blessings of kindgom relationship.

    I'm sure there are scriptures that "appear" to support the idea of "same reward regardless of works" but is that really what they mean? If so, then why are there so many scriptures that clearly reveal God's judgement is according to man's works?

    Your last comment is surprising to me. If you believe God has already prepared everyone's "place in heaven", do you carry this into fatalism?
