I affirm a rigid double predestination. I believe that the elect are predestined to heaven and that the non-elect are predestined to hell.

I don't see how you can affirm predestination and not reprobation. By definition, if you elect some people to salvation but not others, and if election is the critical difference that makes people's destiny change, by default - without any affirmative action on God's part - you must have reprobation.

Yes, as one theologian has said, "Predestination is double or nothing."
