Are you saying that Christ's forgiveness depends on what the person was thinking at the time a sin was committed? That is not scriptural.
It is very clear we are saved by the Lord's Grace and His Grace alone. Period. We are all sinners. If we have committed one sin in the most minute fashion, we are as guilty as if we had sinned copiously.
What a person must do to receive forgiveness is accept Christ as their savior and REPENT. Repent means giving up your sins and following Christ. That does not mean you won't sine again; you will. What it does mean is that Christ, and following the Lord, become top priority in your life and living to be like Christ, as a servant of God, is the aim. We do this through study of Scripture to learn the true character of God and applying what we learn to life.
Like it or not, that is the only way.
No, I am saying that no one is "elect." Anyone can attain salvation upon true and sincere repentance, even those who commit heinous crime. The notion that some are not elect is an invention of the late fifteen hundreds, and opposes the previous 1500 years of Christian doctrine and theology.
And grace for lost souls is brought about by the prayer of the faithful.
