And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. (Romans 8:28-30 ESV)
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. (1 Peter 1:1-2 ESV)
- Foreknowledge
- Predestination / Election
- Call
- Justification
- Glorification
I cannot find any Biblical basis for the Arminian order of salvation, which is 1) outward call 2) faith / election, 3) repentance, 4) regeneration, 5) justification, 6) perseverance, 7) glorification.
Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. (Romans 8:33 ESV)
For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him. (Ephesians 1:4 CSB)
I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. (John 17:9 ESV)
