Randy McCarthy read our third article of faith and spoke about Predestination and Election.
Articles of Faith #3: We believe in the doctrine of predestination and of the election of a definite number of the human family to grace and glory before the world began, and that they will in time be manifested heirs of God, and joint heirs of, or with, the Lord Jesus Christ by a birth of the Spirit.
Referenced Scriptures: [Ephesians 1:1-6, 2Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:1-2, Romans 8:28-29,16-17, Isaiah 42:1, Genesis 12:1-3, (and other verses referencing that Abraham shall be the father of many nations), John chapter 3 (summary of conversation with Nicodemus, John 6:35-45]
Note: The first minute was clipped where Elder Randy explains that our Articles of Faith are a declaration of what we (the body of the church) believe.
