Were you not also elect and chosen in Christ then?
Of course not, neither were you, as we were not
in him until the day we believed
in him.
You were not
in Christ in eternity past. You were nowhere. Then when you were born you were
in Adam not
in Christ.
Unless you fell out of Christ, got into Adam, and then back into Christ.
Paul says were chosen
IN HIM before the foundation of the world. We were not
in him before the foundation of the world.
I got
in him in 1990. The
before the foundation of the world part comes in, according to Peter and Paul, because of the
foreknowledge (which is not predestination) of God concerning the body of Christ and who would believe and his plan that was drawn up
before the foundation of the world.
There was a day when you probably believed that simple truth also but then got a "deeper" understanding.
