( * (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls). . . . What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. * )

As the writer of this heretical article has said, that Election can not mean salvation, it must mean some other reason, or purpose, but ? from this verse from the book of Romans clearly shows us that Paul is talking about the Grace and Mercy of God.
When we talk about the Grace and Mercy of God in the New Testament is it always meant, that Gospel of Jesus Christ : i.e. Salvation.

Perhaps Paul is referring to God's message to Moses in Exodus 34?

>heretical article? That's a bit harsh, don't you think?
