On Election & Predestination

I’ve been studying Calvinism and Arminianism a lot over these past several weeks, especially the subjects of election and predestination. My take has differed from both Calvinism and Arminianism for quite a while, and I feel more solid about it after the study. This approach has been called “Corporate Election,” and I think it makes far better sense of predestination and election than the approaches of either Calvinism or Arminianism. Here it is as a Scribd document, for those who care to take a gander. This take may or may not be closer to “reality” than Calvinism or Arminianism, but I think it makes better sense of the text and is faithful to the context of early Christianity and the atmosphere in which the New Testament was written.
