Here’s the link to the source material which I’ve also copied in case it disappears. Here’s another article. I know…old news to you, but I wanted to save it anyway.

Lingamesh has a great series on Logic and Fallacies going on over at his blog?which spurred some (likely flawed) personal thinking in using a deductive argument on top of an inductive reasoning process. I?m wondering how often we do this with theological statements and doctrinal outlines. Go on over and have a look see (specifically the comments of this post for my questions).
Phil (from PhilThreeTen) brought up a point regarding election that bore some
investigation. I did this in the past, but since I don’t have access to my
computer I had to do the research over again. Basically I started going through
and finding references to “choiceâ€, “electâ€, “chosenâ€, “chosen one†(and
variations thereof) to see if election is used for an individual and if so—in
what sense. With very little commentary and with the disclaimer that this list
is in no way exhaustive (since I don’t have time to recreate days of research
in a few hours), here’s the list.
Something else I was just thinking, this time about election and predestination. A common charge against Arminianism that I?ve heard is that basing God?s election on Man?s decision in time makes salvation dependant on Man. Now, I actually agree with that, but I was just thinking how the same charge can be leveled at (some) in the Calvinist camp.
I?m not being nasty or short or anything like that. I would have posted this over at Theologica but for some reason it keeps saying that I’m a spanner. Basically, I’m nitpicking. Rebecca’s criticisms against other systems consisted of perceptions from outside the camp (ie: Armyraldism being untidy). That’s fine since it’s what she perceives about those systems. Perceptions from outside this particular camp (Infralapsarianism-ists) have raised an objection.
