I believe what the Bible SAYS, not how Calvinists wrest it.
WE (that's the ALREADY SAVED Christians Paul is addressing) are predestinated UNTO the adoption (that's where we get our new bodies).
Predestination is not for salvation, it is for people who are ALREADY SAVED - EVERY TIME it appears in the Bible.
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
So God did not predestine you till you did a work? That is how Chicago works..but in most places you have to be elected first:>)
