If you are not a believer in God's bible please be respectful and let those who do believe answer.
In Romans it talks about the elect going to heaven. Do you feel that the elect are all who have accepted Christ and will go to heaven. Or do you feel that only yhe Elect will be able to accpet Christ.
I'm not sure of the whole verse but its the one about is it not up to the potter to decide what to do with the vessel he has made?

God is clear in His Word that He chooses those who will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven not on anything we have or will do but merely of grace. Now He does not just gather wicked men into His kingdom but those whom He has chosen He changes into those who love and serve Him which is called being born again.
Eph 1 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

The Elect is an idea developed by John Calvin that only certain people go to Heaven, no matter what they do.
This means Hitler could go to Heaven, while Mother Theresa of Calcutta goes to Hell.
It also means that we can do whatever WE like, since nothing will change.
See the problem?

The potter fashions his vessals for what he wants to do with them for him to get praise from those that use them.
The elect is God's choice. God makes us his elect. What does elect mean.

There are people who before time God knew they would love him. They are the ones whom God had mercy on and showed them the truth so that they could follow it. "The Elect" applies to both Jews and Gentiles.
