Sinopse

You can purchase Sean's new book from G3 Press called 40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus here: https://g3min.org/product/40-days-in-philippians-finding-joy-in-jesus-sean-cole/ The major point of contention between Calvinists and Provisionists over the doctrine of election--especially in Ephesians 1 is this: When does a person get "in Christ?" Does a person ONLY get "in Christ" on the exercise of free will to choose Jesus and thus become one of the elect group? Or are the elect In Christ before the foundation of the world in the covenant of redemption? Is God's election of individuals to salvation unconditional? Or is God's election of a group that is conditioned on faith? Listen as Dr. Sean Cole takes a deep dive into Ephesians 1:3-14 and attempts to show the major differences between the Reformed understanding of election versus the Provisionist understanding.
