[quote:Mr_Electric:MV8xODcyMTU4XzMxMjMyMDA3XzMxRjA1NDdD] Even Peter affirms Paul's teachings.... 2Pe 3:15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, [b]just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that [u]God gave him[/u][/b]. 2Pe 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things [u]that are hard to understand[/u], which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Don't let these Anti-Paultards sway your faith, my friend. The winds are blowing, the whirlwind is having it's way.... shaking the "chaff" out of the wheat. Everyone's faith is being tested in this day, that is why you see so many attacks on scripture coming from all directions. Hold on to the pure doctrines that were handed down to all the saints through the Holy Scriptures. You've got to believe in something, or you'll fall for anything. Selah. (Meditate on this..)

Original Message
I am curious about believers views of free will vs predestination as a salvation issue. Were some chosen and others not prior to creation?
I have always been a free will believer. But toight I got into a debate with a predestination believer.
I am curious as to others insight on the matter.
Do you believe saved people have always been saved from the beginning? Or is it a choice?
