Every soul is one of God's elect, because he elected to create all souls.

This is one of those things that would really be a waste of time to think about. If you are one of the elect, then you are. If you are not, then there is nothing you can do to change it.... no amount of repentence or worship will change God's mind, he's a stubborn S.O.B.
This is kind of a touchy subject in Christian dogma, because it sorta requires you to forget chunks of the Old Testament... you know, like the idea that you can argue with God (and even wrestle him!) Instead you have to believe he is stoic and unchanging, and that he already mapped out everything we will do. Under this belief, it really makes me wonder why he would bother making so many people whom he does not intend to save. It's like preparing a 7 course feast for a 100 people when you only invite 3 buddies from work.

There's no such thing as GOD's elect or selected one! It's actually only a matter of whether who are really tune to his "frequency". Many this days seek Religion but very very few really seek Spirituality. It's only through the process of Spiritual Transformation that one gains some form of "Broadband" connection to the Great Almighty. When that process begins, one will be able to see the past, the present & the future & trully understand GOD's motives & even understand GOD's whole creation - This is how Spiritual Knowledge or Scriptures are formed. Some times the Higher Knowledge that the Sage receives is totally beyond normal comprehension - that's when Sages really find it hard to convert the Higher Knowledge to lower level knowledge so that normal material beings are able to comprehend.
Those who call themselves as the selected one or they are the selected race, are actually at the infant stages of Spiritualism - as the saying goes empty vessel makes the most noise - It's the EGO within one that one's to feel or believe that one is the selected one and be a Pioneer! Such individual or Group whose EGO have over-ruled their Spiritual Intellect, will totally loose the "Broadband" Connection forever until the EGO is completely removed from their character. Its only the Great Wise Sages who are very discipline to the Spiritual & Righteous Path, trully understand the essense of their given Higher Knowledge and they also humbly accept the truth that the Higher Knowledge provided to them is actually available to anyone who seek it.

Few Christians believe that there are an 'elect'. Most Christians I've talked to, believe that the term is pretentious, and exclusionary. I believe that to draw a line between Christians, is very judgemental. Of course, God will divide the sheep from the goats. But is not for now, and not for us to determine.
So, if you have to ask, you are not 'elect'. And if you don't have to ask, you may be anti-christian.

I can tell you that I am not as I am not an unmarried Israelite. The Elect will be 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel who will be left to preach the Gospel during the tribulation which will also be during the rein of the Anti-Christ. These men will all be unmarried.

That's a tough one. first, you must be born again. That allows you to be apart of the family which is God's elect and it also gives you access to the kingdom of God. Once you figure out what your purpose is, you can begin to do mighty work in the kingdom of God.

he would tell you for sure. Even if you have a special purpose in life, God would let you know. He would either tell you directly or give you a vision. Don't let anyone tell you that receiving visions is bad, if they are correct they are usually just informative. You just have to learn how to interpret them. If you were one of God's elect, you would know.

If you do not understand the 3 Earth Ages (aeons of time) stated in 2 Peter 3 (KJV 1611). Then you won t understand who,how, and why God s Elect are chosen. The first shall be last. (Born in the last generation),
This truth is taught by few Christian teacher or pastors. The "remnant" carried this truth forward to each generation so that the final remnant (God s Elect) would recognize the great deciever/ the anti-Christ (false Messiah) and stand against him in the final hour.
Fellow Christian s (non-Elect) will be not have "ears to hear" and will worship the AC thinking he has come to rapture them away. The entire earth will be deceived except for God s Elect. They will believe the first supernatural being who arrives on the scene. (the 6th trump). The true Christ arrives afterwards...the 7th trump.
The deceived Christians will turn in their own brethren and sisters thinking that they will "see the light" when they stand before the false Messiah (AC) whom they believe is the real Christ come to "rapture" them away. The rapture is a lie from hell. Spiritual Warriors will put on the armor of God and stay for the fight. They will NOT "fly away" like scared birds.
The" unforgivable sin" is if God s Elect would refuse to testify against the AC., when their parents and siblings turn them over. Highly unlikely (as most of us can t keep our mouth shut) ;).
God s elect are not smarter, holier, prettier, they stood against the AC in the first earth age during Satan s rebellion. God knows He can count on them to stand against AC in this flesh age (2nd earth age). We were ALL there in our spirit bodies, now we are the same souls but in flesh bodies, we will go back to our perfect spirit bodies in the third and final earth age. Heaven on earth.

there's no true way of knowing yourself unless extreme things happen, but the most important thing is God Sees. everything.
however, you will find that your life choices - however inexplicable to others - will not be material/physical but spritual.
Like those who walked before you, this will create great personal difficulty for you in the Name of going about the business of God. these are tests that grow both ways should you stay on this path.

God Chooses you and therefore you are one of God's elect. When He talks to your heart and you are His child you will know that you are His.
