Answering Calvinism: Predestination Explained (Ephesians 1:5)

This video is a response to a comment I received on a recent
video which insinuated that Calvinism is the "plain and simple
truth" taught in Ephesians 1:5. 


 


Does Ephesians 1:5 plainly and clearly teach the Calvinistic
doctrine of unconditional election? Has God predestined some to
heaven and some to hell from before the foundation of the world
as Calvinists would argue this passage teaches? In this video I
look at Ephesians 1:3-5 to explain what Paul says Christians were
actually chosen and predestined FOR. 


 


When we see references to God "choosing" or "predestining" in the
bible, we would do well to not immediately assume this is a
reference to "initial salvation."
