Please tell me if I understand this correctly.

1. God decided which of us will be saved.

2. Those who are saved can only act in God’s name after God “turned on” their ability.

3. God saves His elect, even if their body does not let them act in His name.

4. If God did not choose you to be one of the elect, you can do nothing to be saved.

We can do nothing good unless God touches our life and gives the ability to do good. Then, after being given this gift from God, we can do nothing bad.

Thanks,

fred

Allow me to clean that up for you:

4. If God did not choose you to be one of the elect, you can do nothing to be saved, but you really don't care, because you don't want Salvation from the God of the Bible.
