Minority Reformed — glory-decree after foresight of faith and works

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Some Reformed: glory-decree later than faith/grace election.

God first foresees faith and works, then glory-predestination.

So eternal glory-election is from foreseen faith as condition.

Latin

XXV. Attamen nonnulli sunt, qui secundum nostrum concipiendi modum, decretum de danda gloria posterius esse volunt electione ad fidem & gratiam efficacem, adeoque statuunt Deum ratione prius praevidere hominis fidem & bona opera, quam illum ad gloriam coelestem praedestinet. Unde sequitur praedestinationem ad vitam & gloriam aeternam esse ex fide, tanquam conditione ab aeterno a Deo praevisa in eo qui eligitur.
