Do not fill this in! ====Election of man==== [[Conditional election|Election is conditional]]: Arminius defined ''election'' as "the decree of God by which, of Himself, from eternity, He decreed to justify in Christ, believers, and to accept them unto eternal life."{{sfn|Arminius|1853c|p=311}} God alone determines who will be saved and his determination is that all who believe Jesus through faith will be justified. According to Arminius, "God regards no one in Christ unless they are engrafted in him by faith."{{sfn|Arminius|1853c|p=311}} [[Predestination|God predestines the elect]] to a glorious future: Predestination is not the predetermination of who will believe, but rather the predetermination of the believer's future inheritance. The elect are therefore predestined to sonship through [[Adoption (theology)|adoption]], [[Glorification (theology)|glorification]], and [[Eternal life (Christianity)|eternal life]].{{sfn|Pawson| 1996|pp=109-}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
