Doesn't the Bible indicate that God has already chosen those He will save, we just do not know who they are, because we do not have the "foreknowledge" spoken about in the Bible?
Was John the Baptist the first man "filled with the Holy Ghost" vs. having the "Spirit put upon him?" {Luke 1:15 even from his mother's womb}
In John 3, Jesus is discussing the new birth with Nicodemus, and is "amazed" (my quotes) at the fact that Nicodemus did not understand this- He says in verse 10,"you are Israel's teacher and you do not understand these things." Where in the Old Testament is the new birth described in such detail that Jesus could have assumed Nicodemus should know about it?
What is "the mystery of the faith" found in 1 Timothy 3:9?
