Election

In theology, the word (singular) is eoplied to the act of God in selecting some persons from the race of man to be regenerated by His spirit; to be justified, to be sanctified, and to receive other spiritual gifts in this world, with eternal lie in the next. The strongest adherents of this view are in the Presbyterian churches, pape there fs a tendency to soften the harsher features of the system. Many Baptists hold the same aoctrine, as do the Calvin is tic Methodists.
