| | Predestination (Calvinism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Calvinist doctrine of predestination, is the religious doctrine sometimes referred to as "double predestination". | | | The term double predestination is usually used in a disparaging way to refer to the Calvinist belief that God has not only appointed the eternal destiny of some to salvation (Unconditional election), but by necessary inference, also appointed the remainder to eternal damnation (Reprobation). | | | In other words, the doctrine of "double predestination" says that, before the foundation of the world, (1) God appointed his elect to eternal life, and (2) God condemned the rest to everlasting punishment. |

| | Predestination |
| | The foundation of the doctrine of predestination is the biblical doctrine of God. | | | Predestination is a Christian doctrine according to which a person's ultimate destiny, whether it be salvation or damnation, is determined by God alone prior to, and apart from, any worth or merit on the person's part. | | | L Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination; J Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion 3:21 - 24 and The Eternal Predestination of God; C Hodge, Systematic Theology; J Murray, Calvin on Scripture and Divine Sovereignty; B B Warfield, Biblical Doctrines. |

| | Predestination of the Elect of God - Turretin |
| | Therefore when the Scripture uses the word prognoseos in the doctrine of predestination, it is not in the former sense for the bare foreknowledge of God by which he foresaw the faith or works of men. | | | Although in truth predestination is sometimes taken strictly in the Scriptures for the predestination of saints or the election to life, it does not follow that it cannot be used more broadly. | | | Augustine joins both forms (schesin): "We are elected before the foundation of the world by that predestination in which God foresaw his future things would take place; we are chosen out of the world however by that calling by which God fulfills what he has predestinated" (On the Predestination of the Saints). |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Predestination |
| | For the absolute predestination of the blessed is at the same time the absolute will of God "not to elect" a priori the rest of mankind (Suarez), or which comes to the same, "to exclude them from heaven" (Gonet), in other words, not to save them. | | | The same is true of the numerous predestined who, though outside the pale of the true Church of Christ, yet depart from this life in the state of grace as catechumens, Protestants in good faith, schismatics, Jews, Mahommedans, and pagans. | | | Hence the earlier partisans of absolute predestination never denied that their theory compelled them to assume for the wicked a parallel, negative reprobation — that is, to assume that, though not positively predestined to hell, yet they are absolutely predestined not to go to heaven (cf. |

| | “Predestination” by A.A. Hodge |
| | It is unquestionable that the Scriptures do teach some doctrine of predestination, and a very strict doctrine of unconditional election has been held by the greatest and most thoroughly biblical theologians, and by whole denominations of Christians most conspicuous for their evangelical character and fruitfulness. | | | And this is the only form in which the doctrine of sovereign predestination should be insisted upon as of vital religious interest. | | | But beides this, the Scriptures explicitly teach an election (a) of individuals (b) to salvation, and to all the means and conditions thereof, (c) founded, not upon the foreseen faith of the persons elected, but upon the infinitely wise and sovereign purpose of God alone (Eph. |

| | Double Predestination |
| | Predestination does not teach that God has appointed this man or that man unto salvation, regardless of whether he hears the Gospel and believes in Christ. | | | When God predestines a person to be saved, He also predestines that someone will take the Gospel to him and that he will believe on Jesus Christ. | | | By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated, or foreordained to eternal life through Jesus Christ, to the praise of his glorious grace; others being left to act in their sin to their just condemnation, to the praise of his glorious justice. |

| | Moreover, he declares that God predestines as many men for heaven as there were angels who deserted the faith. | | | Furthermore if you are predestined to live an eternal life with God, it is impossible to go away from God, so if one teaches predestination, he also has to teach that there is no apostasy. | | | Single predestination means that God elects in advance those who will come to heaven. |

| | SUMMA THEOLOGICA: What is predestination, and does it place anything in the predestined? |
| | So it must needs be that it is in the predestined, and not in God; for whatever is in Him is eternal. | | | For predestination is the preparation of grace in the present; and of glory in the future. | | | Whence it is clear that predestination is a kind of type of the ordering of some persons towards eternal salvation, existing in the divine mind. |

| | predestination - Columbia Encyclopedia article about predestination |
| | Predestination is posited on the basis of God's omniscience and omnipotence and is closely related to the doctrines of divine providence and grace grace, in Christian theology, the free favor of God toward humans, which is necessary for their salvation. | | | The Roman Catholic Church teaches that predestination is consistent with free will since God moves the soul according to its nature. | | | In ancient Israel, besides personal sin there was national sin, usually idolatry; to regain God's favor the whole people had to be purified. |

| | Catholic Predestination |
| | Predestination is a part of the Eternal Divine Plan of Providence. | | | The Catholic Church affirms predestination as a de fide dogma (the highest level of binding theological certainty), while at the same time affirming free will and the possibility of falling away from the faith. | | | The resolve of Predestination, as an act of the divine knowledge and will, is as immutable as the Divine Essence itself. |

| | Where a people will not believe that they are predestined by God they will be predestined by others. | | | The denigration or ignorance of Biblical predestination has always given way to a predestinarian absolutism in the State or in the Church. | | | Tucker reveals his desire for the State to revel in its role as predestinator and the reason that the State can get away with this is because we are a people who are dead to God's sovereignty. |

| | Predestination strips them of their Glory in having Chosen God, and places it where it belongs. | | | That is what that verse means when it says "..According to the good pleasure of His will." we are predestinated (God's word, not mine) according to the sovereign good will of God to do so. | | | It's not a question of if God says that he predestinated us to be conformed to Christ's image, there is no question that He says that. |

| | This view comes from the belief that a person is either predestined or reprobated: both are two sides of the same coin. | | | As we shall see there is a way to separate the two sides, i.e., to say that He predestines without merits, but reprobates only after considering demerits. | | | This can also be seen from the Father analogy of the Gospels. |
