Calvinistic. God is the one who determines the righteous. As such, nothing you can do will add to your salvation. On the flip side, however, it also means that you cannot lose your salvation, no matter what sin you have fallen into. This is not a license to sin, but instead a reassurance that no sin is too big for God to forgive.

they can't the two be real, yet the two sides sees the different in its very own easy. Your question itself comes from the theory of unfastened will, and if God chooses his very own, then He insults us via "making us robots". Predestination can then purely become a foreknowledge of what's going to happen. although, if we've not got unfastened will, the different edge of the coin is that our "decision" turns into guy insulting God via taking that potential for Himself. Predestination is interpreted as "fore-LOVING" particularly than mere foreknowledge, and salvation only turns right into a warning call that opens human beings's eyes, particularly than a "menu option" of God or the devil on the instant. of course then, they can't the two be real, and this is what drives the discussions we get in this difficulty on the instant. maximum edge with "unfastened will", so i think it is your decision, pardon the pun, as to which theology is right.

It's Calvinism, they believe we are prechosen and predestined before the foundations of the world were laid.
