No, as those who are the eelct will always be getting saved!I don't want to get too far off topic, but are there Calvinists that believe you can be elected and not saved?

We are elected by God in Christ from all eternity, but still need to eceive Christ thru faith to make that the sure election.But you already did. You equated their view of election occurring before the foundation of the world with salvation as an event that happened in eternity past. I am aware of a few groups that believe something similar, but I don't know of any Calvinists who make the conclusion you have offered. I thought maybe you were referring to Daniel Parker's view of the two seeds.
While I do believe that the Christian lives a life of repentance, I also do not see the purpose of repentance to be a proof of salvation. I guess the exception may be that obedience to Christ is linked to loving Christ. I've listened to a few of Washer sermons, but I didn't like his style of preaching - it's difficult for me to hear what is being said when the preacher is shouting (I can't concentrate when there is much commotion, and this seems to be getting worse as I get older...that's why I absolutely hate going to the mall).
Yes, no longer using the KJV 1611 checker!Not being snarky, but hoping someone bought you a spell check for Christmas.
Not that, but that they believe in a false Gosepl per him, and he does see many lost due to just having a "one time confession"Do you have a quote from one of his books where he says that those that believe in free grace are lost?
Ok, I know I'm walking into a merry-go-round here, but what scriptures speak of "really saved" or "biblical mandate that we shall be..."No, Calvinists/Reformed see the Bibical mandate being that once realy saved by Grace of God, then we shall be living in a fashion diferent than before saved, and in the process of becoming more obedient toJesus now!
I don't understand how it can be viewed as the same thing.
No these are not the same thing.
From our perspective, they are different things. From God's perspective? I don't see much difference.
Interesting, could you share the difference between our perspective and God's perspective from His word?

Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’
God knows the beginning and the end of everything. We don't. Before any of us repents, God had already saved us.
You do not know the commands of God to obey the "Law o Christ?" To continually be walking and abiding in Jesus, filled continually in /by the Holy Spirt, in order not to do the lusts of the flesh?Ok, I know I'm walking into a merry-go-round here, but what scriptures speak of "really saved" or "biblical mandate that we shall be..."
If it's really a biblical mandate, point to the biblical location, please
Of course I do....You do not know the commands of God to obey the "Law o Christ?" To continually be walking and abiding in Jesus, filled continually in /by the Holy Spirt, in order not to do the lusts of the flesh?
Ok this in no way explains the difference in perspective on salvation.
God knows fully and completly the entire "system" e used to save sinnrs, bu we all are still fuzzy in some areas on it!Ok this in no way explains the difference in perspective on salvation.
God knows us from eternity past. If God elects us before the foundation of the world, in His eyes we're saved, even though we haven't been born yet. I don't know why I have to explain this to you.

Ok here is how you answer this question:
1. Put here the view point of man on salvation. Please include scripture if you have that support or make it clear it is just your opinion.
2. Put here the view point of God on Salvation. Please include scripture if you have that support it or make it clear it is just your opinion.
3. Give a clear explanation here of the distinct difference of the two view points using your previous points for support.
Please break down your use of scripture in a manner that makes clear your though process on how the scripture you use to support each point makes your case.
Sorry, but I'm not in a theology class final.
