Are you the elect?
winner08:
I read alot of these threads. I notice alot of you feel that y'all are the elect. Is this correct? Myself I feel that I'm not part of this elect group. That I will suffer in the lake of fire. I was just wondering do you who be live that you are part of this group know for sure that you are? No disrespect to anyone. I'm just a baby in the Lord's truth.

I don't know if I am, but the more sins I overcome will be less time in the lake of fire.
musicman:
I assure you that at this time I am not.

I guess from growing up in a man made system all my life and now seeing I was lied to all those yrs. I'm jaded. When someone says this is what God wants you to do or believe, I have a hard time believing. Now with Ray it is different because He will give me chapter and verse what ever he's talking about. He will give me scripture. Then I will look it up for myself.It's different from these preachers on TV who tell me what God wants from me, or what God wants me to do. (It's always involves money).I guess when I hear someone say they are the elect it makes me wonder. Like I said I'm jaded.

Hello Darren,
If anyone states that they are of the elect, you would probably be wise to not believe them. Our Lord does the choosing and only He knows "those that are His" (2 Tim 2:19). Personally, I do not claim to be of the elect though it is a calling I strive for.
Also, I have noticed a couple of your posts and you have one of the most humble attitudes on display. I honestly admire that and hope to be inspired to be the same. The attitude of humbleness is an aspect that I think you see missing from ones who act as if they are already "the chosen". This is something I have been reflecting on today as well.
I'm sorry you feel jaded regarding your past experiences. I know one day our Lord will bring you through those feelings but only on His time. I once felt the same coming from the Babylonian Word of Faith following to the Truths of His Word. Our Lord got me through it and I know He will do the same for you.
