You gave a fragment of a verse wrested out of the context of the totality of Scripture.

You failed to address the passages I gave. Why don’t you exegete Epehsians 1 relative to your precious self worship (aka free will).

Why? Because that is usually a meaningless exercise in debates of this type. I see you are from SC and so probably know many Baptists there that could give you literally 500 scriptures (with 50 pages of analysis) refuting your point of view. Then you'll give your 500 scriptures. And on and on and on in an endless loop. I would rather you think for yourself logically, "Does my theology contradict itself again and again or not make sense?" (Think the format C.S. Lewis used in Mere Christianity).

Here's an example from your home page: I believe that placing your faith in life and death of Christ is the only way to enter the Kingdom.

NO WRONG! Being predestined/elected is the only way to enter the Kingdom according to your theology. What YOU have faith in is meaningless! YOU have no free will to choose anything. See what I mean. HOLES THE SIZE OF MACK TRUCKS!
