He holds to the doctrine of Investigative Judgement, so is really confused!
On the contrary - I actually read Daniel 7 and Romans 2 instead of clinging to man-made-tradition against the clear statements in the Bible

Every siiner saved byt eh grace of God right now has the Eternal Life promised to them by Jesus in them, and they have right now full and permanent justification with the father by/on the basis of the Cross. the ONLY "judgement" any believer faces is unto eternal rewards, NOTHING to do with keeping or losing salvation, despite what EW taught!Avoiding every detail in the post and the scriptures presented ... to stop and pontificate appealing to your "quote of you"?
Everyone on this board can see that we are all still on planet earth - in a world of sin... with sinful natures. This is irrefutable. One day it will be the case of living "by sight" and the sinful natures all having been deleted when we are taken to heaven. That day has not come yet.. as it turns out.
More bible - less stories is always the better way to go.
Hint: What work of Christ is said to be the "main point" in Hebrews 8:1???
As do i, but I prefer the scriptures and Holy Spirit interpretation of them as compared to the views EW held!On the contrary - I actually read Daniel 7 and Romans 2 instead of clinging to man-made-tradition against the clear statements in the Bible

so, why do you think the Lord "elected" YOU, and not the others? Are you "better"? Give me ONE reason why you believe from the Bible, that you should be "elected", and the rest damned? When God says that He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that they turn and live, you think that He is wrong? Your understanding is nothing but "elitism" and no where taught in the Bible!
The Bible teaches universal atonement
Your very question proves you have no idea what Unconditional Election is all about.Give me ONE reason why you believe from the Bible, that you should be "elected", and the rest damned?

You are asking what CONDITION we meet for UNCONDITIONAL election?
That would be funny if it were not so sad.
7. If ALL the sins of ALL men were laid upon Christ, what did the apostle mean when he said, "Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment"? (1 Tim. 5:24)One thing he meant was that no atonement had been made for them. Mark, again, he is speaking, not of sin, but "sins," and these, he declared, are "going before to judgment." Nothing could be plainer, These "sins" had not been "judged" at the Cross, therefore, they must be judged in the Day of Judgment.Unlimited Atoning Sacrifice. "For our sins and not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world" 1 John 2:2
When we see posts here rich with Bible texts that refute Calvinism and the best Calvinist response is to laugh at those scriptures -- the weak point in their argument has been fully unmasked.
Atonement had been made but was not appropriated by faith.7.

Hello Hank,Atonement had been made but was not appropriated by faith.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
All sins -- "not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world"
How do we appropriate something that was offered by Christ to God? Do we go into heaven and steal it off the Mercy Seat?Atonement had been made but was not appropriated by faith.

No, we ignore it.How do we appropriate something that was offered by Christ to God? Do we go into heaven and steal it off the Mercy Seat?
So, you don't have an answer?No, we ignore it.
IMO, this flawed human reasoning which although appears to make sense in reality does not.Hello Hank,
An Atonement that is not appropiated is no atonement. That person lacks an atonement.
