I agree. The only difference I have with you (unless you also believe in salvation thru works) is that at some point in our lives He calls us all. Whether we answer or not something else.

"Whether we answer (God's call) or not (is) something else." -- Cindydawg.

"Our answer" has nothing to do with our salvation, nothing to do with whether or not God wrote our names in the Book of Life from before the foundation of the world.

As you've said so aptly before, RnMom, if God wants us, we are already His from before time began.
