Apostle Paul. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” (Eph. 1:3-5).

Not really. The Protestant soteriology is based on Paul; and the soteriology of the Church on the Gospels. When it comes to who's going to hell, they will quote Eph 1:3-5, and the Church Mat 25:31-46.

But my question was: how does the Church reconcile this?
