I do not understand your statement that if there is an elect, there are no sinners. All of the elect were and are sinners. The elect have simply been purchased, bought and paid for, and forgiven. We are wholly owned within the family of God. The sins Christ died for include all sins of the elect, past and future.

The Scriptures tell us that Christ died for the sin of ALL men, not just the elect...Thus, all men are redeemed. But if all men are redeemed, why are all men not saved?

Regards

I infer my belief that God saves only the elect from what you just said. While the blood of Christ is sufficient to save all men, it is, to borrow a word, only efficacious to the elect.
