In this message, Pastor Chad points out the Scriptures that have convinced him to understand the modifiers "total," "unconditional," "limited," and "irresistible," in a Biblically balanced way of understanding the truths of depravity, election, atonement, and grace. Chad also shows the Scriptural errors in the Catholic, Arminian, and Calvinistic ordo salutis (order/progression of salvation). He then presents from his study of Scripture a Biblical order of salvation:

1. God’s Foreknowledge (Romans 8:29, 11:2, 1 Peter 1:2, John 6:64, 2:25, Eph. 1:4-5).

2. God’s Predestination/Election of us before the creation of the world (Romans 8:29-30, 9:23, 1 Cor. 2:7, Eph. 1:4-6, 11, 3:11, 1 Peter 2:9, Acts 4:27-28, 13:48).
