Why captialized "before the foundation of the world" and leave out the crux which is "IN HIM?" Our election is ONLY "IN HIM" not in some fanciful Calvinistic choosing which makes God the adminstrator of sin. If God chooses persons to go to hell then He does have pleasure in the death of the wicked.(Ezk.18:23) God does tempt men with evil. (
James 1:13) Both are against His character as God. My friend you cannot have the individual election of the righteous without the individual election of the lost. Can't be a winner without a loser. Those are the facts. Now it is the WILL OF GOD for ALL men to be saved. (1Tim.2:4)
The scripture clearly teaches we are BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST. Gal.3:27, Rom.6:3
