Predestination and Election
Absolute Predestination by Gilbert Beebe
The Old School or Primitive Baptists in former years have been very definitely identified and distinguished from all other religious or ecclesiastical organizations as Predestinarian Baptists, and as such have borne reproach and vituperation from those who hold more limited views of what we regard as the absolute and all pervading government of God over all beings, all events, and all worlds.
Election by G. H. Kersten
Election is the decree of God by which He in perfect sovereignty determined in which persons, known to Him by name in Christ, He has decided to magnify His mercy gloriously unto their salvation, and also by which means He Himself shall bring those persons to salvation.
Election by Benjiman B. Warfield
This article was originally published in 1918 by the Presbyterian Board of Publication as a pamphlet of twenty-two pages.
Election - A Sermon by Charles H. Spurgeon
2 Thes. 2:13-14 - IF there were no other text in the sacred Word except this one, I think we should all be bound to receive and acknowledge the truthfulness of the great and glorious doctrine of God's ancient choice of his family.
God's Purpose According To Election: Paul's Argument in Romans 9 by Steven M. Baugh
The doctrine of predestination has fallen on hard times. Not that it was ever very popular. Given today's theological climate, most Christians probably think that predestination - to the extent that they think about it at all - is an abstract, philosophical notion invented by a few cranks in the past.
God's Sovereign Elective Grace by George M. Ophoff
The electing and rejecting God is Supreme. Such is the plain teaching of Scripture. To deny the sovereign character of elective grace is to deny that God is God. It is to maintain that of the two, God and man, man is the stronger, and thus the factor that shapes God's choice.
On the Doctrine of Predestination by Thomas Chalmers
You have all heard of the doctrine of predestination. It has long been a settled article of our church. And there must be a sad deal of evasion and of unfair handling with particular passages, to get free of the evidence which we find for it in the Bible.
Some Thoughts on Predestination by Benjiman B. Warfield
Our difficulties with Predestination arise from a, no doubt not unnatural, unwillingness to acknowledge ourselves to be wholly at the disposal of another. We wish to be at our own disposal. We wish "to belong to ourselves," and we resent belonging, especially belonging absolutely, to anybody else, even if that anybody else be God.
What Fatalism Is by Benjiman B. Warfield
This is a sad state of mind that people fall into sometimes, in which they do not know the difference between God and Fate.
Chosen to Salvation by Robert Murray M'Cheyne
WHEN TRAVELLING through popish countries, where the people bow down to images of wood and stone, and where God's Word is forbidden, the mind of a believer turns to the fearful words...which Paul wrote—"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord"
Of Predestination - Part I by Hugh Binning
In the creation of the world, it pleased the Lord, after all things were framed and disposed, to make one creature to rule over all; and to him he gave the most excellent nature, and privileges beyond the rest; so that it may appear that he had made all things for man, and man immediately for his own glory.
Of Predestination - Part II by Hugh Binning
We are now upon a high subject; high indeed for an eminent apostle, much more above our reach. The very consideration of God's infinite wisdom might alone suffice to restrain our limited thoughts, and serve to sober our minds with the challenge of our own ignorance and darkness.
Reprobation by Jerome Zanchius
From what has been said concerning the election of some, it would unavoidably follow, even supposing the Scriptures had been silent about it, that there must be a rejection of others, as every choice does, most evidently and necessarily, imply a refusal, for where there is no leaving out there can be no choice.
