Thanks for your reply. A lot of it sounds almost... Catholic. :)

Quick question on this part:

From man's POV, the elect spend the first part of their lives being "lost" and on a road to hell. Then God touches the elect and they accept Christ and are "saved". So technically, the action of accepting Christ is something that is done and makes a difference.

Are you of the irresistable grace school? Or is there a choice possible at this point?

thanks very much for your reply.

I'm a TULIP-totin' Calvinist, so I'm a full supporter of irresistible grace. At the same time, irresistible grace fully supports my saying that I made a free-will choice in accepting Christ. (Surprised? :) That was my experience. No one was holding a gun to my head, and I didn't do anything against my will. I wanted to accept Christ, so I did. What I didn't know at the time was that the nature of the grace God gave me was of super-industrial strength. In fact, as it turns out, exactly 100% of the people so graced throughout history have wound up choosing Christ as their savior.
