This Sunday I'm preaching on Romans 9. As part of my wider reading/preparation I've been reading some John Frame and came across this provocative comment:
As not all Israelites are Israel (Romans 9:6), so not all members of the Christian church are regenerate believers. Some are elect only as the unbelieving Israelites were: historically elect, rather than eternally elect. Like Saul and Judas, they were chosen only temporarily; they can become nonelect (Frame, The Doctrine of God, 322)
Golly! So you can lose your election can you?
