There it is in a nutshell. You believe or you don't. You're saved or you're not. There's no other option.


Seems simple enough, but what about God calling only those who he knows will answer, and not bothering with the others?
It's your choice. That fact that God already knows what it will be doesn't affect anything. It's still your choice.


Depends on the nature of the decision making process and its inputs.

Some find the bible convincing, others don't. Some find the Qur'an or Gita convincing, others don't.

Do you have a choice in what you find is convincing to you? Can you choose to be convinced in the 'truth' of the Hindu world view, for example?
