there ya go

But, so often our side wants to leave off the predestination part. The saved will end up being saved, and the damned will end up being damned.

That part makes them uncomfortable. They feel a need to special plead for God so no one will think he's not your "average Joe nice guy."

The saved will end up being saved, and the damned will end up being damned.

With the definitions you've provided, indeed. Our current study of Acts has convicted me to follow the Great Commission with a renewed drive to reach the lost for Christ.

The saved will end up being saved, and the damned will end up being damned.

Or maybe the saved are those who end up being saved and the damned are those that end up not being saved.

This semitautology allows for omniscience without double predestination.
