But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"In fact, if you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place." - Murray Rothbard
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. - Hebrew proverb

similar to what this says
Ephesians 1:11
11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Those who are chosen to be saved are the same ones who are predestinated to be saved.
And this one
1 Peter 1:2 (King James Version)
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
God elects us to be saved according to His foreknowledge. in other words he has known who would be saved even before the world began. If God has decided that you will be saved then He will save you.

That's all you got? Why don't you address the scriptures presented & explain them away, if you believe they are somehow wrong....

The only reliable means for measuring our love for God is to examine whether we obey Him. We may dress the part, act the part, talk the part of being a Christian, but none of these things proves that we genuinely love God. Obedience is the only way.

Are you saying you're not a Calvinist? You said: "If God has decided that you will be saved then He will save you."
Please clarify.
