In the final analysis, I am mostly a Calvinist, although I believe in free will far more than in predestination. Although I do believe an omniscient God knows whether or not you will be saved.

yes, the latter bit "that God is omniscient and knows whether or not one will be saved" is Church belief too -- we also believe that God does not make mindless puppets, so you do have orthodox beliefs :)

Thank you. Hey the important thing is accepting the salvation that Christ offers. I think God left a lot of other things ambiguous, with room for interpretation. Possibly because they were of secondary or tertiary importance.

After all, if salvation were too complicated, no one could obtain it.
