Certainly.

The elect are those that God has commissioned for a particular task. Individuals such as Mary, Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist and the Apostles (minus Judas) are considered to be among the elect.

The selection of large numbers of individuals is not supported Biblically, and that belief is not widely held amongst Christians.

Thanks for all your contributions on this thread. I really had no idea how Calvinism was so deeply riddled with errors. It’s shocking, frankly.

And sad.

LOL. Once again we see the RCC teaches a very impersonal salvation.

ROMANS 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to ELECTION might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

ROMANS 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the ELECTION of grace.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the ELECTION, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

1 THESSALONIANS 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God.

2 PETER 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and ELECTION sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall
