Ben Witherington on Election and Salvation

[TheLegendofMclovin]

Matthew 22:14
“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

[Scotts.Christianity.Teaching]

I'll help you out.
I finished this video. And I'm like Arminian and believe people can fail salvation from this scripture I found Galatians 5:19-21 that when sinning that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians was Paul's teachings, proves it can fail eternal salvation. Grandpa believed he couldn't go to Hell, and Arminians believe he could.
I'm against suicide. I was depressed also to suicidal. I almost did suicide as a 5-Point Calvinist. And these scriptures got me more hope.
I became more Arminian now from these scriptures I posted on here. I believe people can fail salvation.

Loving God is wanting to be useful for him much. What if a person could do that much of his time? And I enjoy working from this. People who enjoy working. When it's more likely to be boring to non-Christians.

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Mark 9:33 (V)They came to Capernaum; and when He was in (W)the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?"
.
Mark 9:34 But they kept silent, for on the way (X)they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.
.
Mark 9:35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, "(Y)If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
.
This is for Christian world domination. Why to raise kids Christians. God Son Jesus said similarly to whoever is useful the most is the best merited of the apostles. Useful merit for eternal rewards and competition with other Christians. With God Son Lord Jesus Christ faith teaching, people will want to be useful for the kingdom of Heaven, which usefulness happens on Earth and if any other place. We need to help this world as much as we can!
This text could motivate, supposed to be Christian people, to do all types of usefulness. Chores, volunteering, grade school, high school, college, and work. Good people, this world needs them.

God doesn't save corporately. He doesn't save "groups" of people. He saves individuals.

Does this position on election have a "name" to it such as Calvinism or Arminianism? I have come to this conclusion on election as well but I get asked if I am one or the other and I say neither but then I get asked what's your position in which case I just explain it like this but I think often times people are looking for a name to the view I hold. Thanks!

And is this supposed to give a different way to view salvation than offerd by Calvinism? Even if you believe in corperate election, you can't escape from Gods sovereignty. For the sake of argument lets say the bible teaches corperate election. God is still the one that chooses. He chose Isreal over all other nations. Isreal did NOT choose God and neither did I or any body else. At the end of the day, God is sovereign and the "all mighty" will of man will always come 2nd.

Sad that he does not understand the difference between physical election into a physical covenant (OT/Old covenant Israel) and spiritual election into a spiritual covenant (New Covenant believers). Rom 8:29-30

This Sunday keeper couldn't give scriptural authority for his deliberate defiance, so be skeptical of his statements.
