Great Sermon! Its been a year since I found this old post. I do not see in Scripture where a person who is elected or not is dependent or not whether they wonder about the truth of Scripture in how it relates to them. I am sure there will be many who will miss heaven by just a little away. In the Parable of the women who missed the bridegroom because they went to go get more oil for their lamps were very interested, but it was too late. We live in a world that is becoming more anti Christian. Its only understood that so many would not become a Christian. I do not think its because God doomed them to hell, but the Harvest was not reached. Jesus said pray for the Lord to send forth laborers. If praying for God to send laborers was not important, then why pray. God has elected them anyway! I do not put God in a box to say He has to act this way in order for this to happen. I'm just going to wait to get home and ask any questions that may be important at that time. Calvinism is not taught in Scripture. Like any other interpretation, its just that. A man made may to interpret what God never said.
