Challenges to Unconditional Election (Part 2)
God's Sovereignty and Man's SalvationSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the challenges to the doctrine of unconditional election. He acknowledges that while the Bible states that "No one unless the Father sent draws him," it doesn't necessarily support the Calvinist idea of predestination. Gregg argues that election is a corporate concept, not an individual one, and that all who believe in Jesus become a part of the chosen tree of God. He emphasizes the importance of faith in salvation and the dangers of pride and unbelief.
