Hi Pamela and Wanda,
It is a challanging and humbling topic about who are the elect. I think the consenseus is that there are doubts as to those that will be chosen to be resurrected at Jesus's return as His elect? And certainly we are mostly convinced that Pamela will not be chosen - that is for sure! She is such a bad women that there is little hope for her.

Before I go any further with my bad sense of humor - I truthfully must say that I have had the honour to meet Pamela as she lives very close to me here in Nova Scotia , Canada. I really wanted to have a friend who had similiar understandings of the Holy Texts and God gave me The One and Only Musterseed. She is a great human being with a lot of wisdom and sincerity.

So this brings up the subject and good question as to who would be resurrected if not the apostles?! Who else was put throught such a hugh amount of trails and they got the word out there in text form for all of us today. And when you meet someone like The Musterseed who is truly a beautiful person with her own trails she is overcoming - doing a great job - why would she not make it? I just wanted those that are reading this thread not to consider it a debate but just looking at this topic to see perhaps that the great sacrifice the apostles made were maybe motivated by the realization and hope of their resurrection.

Wanda:
Interesting question Johnny, because I had just finished reading an older thread I thought you might find helpful. It is chock full of spiritual wisdom on this very subject.

Nice sense of humor by the way, and I completly agree with you about our sweet Pamela, she is a wonderful blessing.

John from Kentucky:
God knows who His Elect are.  The Scriptures say He selected them before creation, and they are not going to change.

But in the larger sense, it does not matter.  God is going to save everyone.  No one will be left out.
God is not a respector of persons.  He loves all of His kin.

Musterseed:
Your too funny John. Thanks for the kind words, you too Wanda.

When I first joined the forum I thought everyone here was the Elect and who knows
what Is in store for all of us. Like JFK said, God knows.

All Praise and Glory to Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  All eyes on Him.   Pamela

Hi Wanda and Pamela and John etc. etc.

The thing that I choose to focus upon in this discussion is that God doesn't make mistakes and God doesn't fail in carrying out His will.
So IF you or I am one of the elect then it doesn't matter whether we cooperate fully with God or not. Our will power is not the crux of the matter.
It is not about us or what we do or how well we do it. If we miss the mark a little bit God will finish the job. God will finish His work in us!

So then, for the time being, in my own heart and mind, I am not concerned and don't worry over things that are in God's capable hands.

PLUS I'm just too old at this point in my life to try to figure out more than God has given me to understand.

I get up in the morning, have my coffee and chat with my better half for a couple of hours then sit back to meditate on all my concerns until I fall asleep in my big recliner and then I wake up and go to the Gym for my exercise and to watch all the youngsters build muscles and embarrass me by comparison. 
Life is too much fun to worry over spilt milk.
