If we’re elect, we’re elect. If we have free will we have free will.
And who ever is wrong will find out when they get there but since that is not the determining criteria of salvation, IMO, it doesn’t really matter.
Someone who puts their faith in Christ alone through faith alone for God’s glory alone, all made known to us by the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures for salvation can still be a brother or sister in Christ even if they disagree about disputable matters.
Romans 14: 1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
And even if you were to think that election isn’t a disputable matter, Protestants are much more accepting of doctrinal differences in others allowing for the work of the conviction of the Holy Spirit to take place to correct error instead of demanding compliance under threat of .... whatever.
They recognize and are willing to accept different levels of maturity among believers and the concept that the believer answers to God alone for what is done with what has been entrusted to him.
Amen. Christians understand the liberty of conscience they have been given by Christ. Roman Catholics simply do not know what that means.
As long as they are not Catholic, any heresy goes, right?
Exactly , non essentials are non essentials.. Calvinists would say someone is elect because they repented and believed, Arminians would say we are elect because they repented and believed .. the core truth is Christ saves those that repent and come to Him in faith
