Definition
 * 1) Some people are going to hell, some to heaven. God has made decisions surrounding these facts. This does NOT imply that God could save everyone (while retaining their free will). (Primary definition)
 * 2) God could save everyone or damn everyone. He chose some and not others.

Helpful things
 * If you want to be saved, ask God, and he will save you. There is never a case where he just rejects you even though you want it.

Verses
 * Romans 9:22-24 "22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?"
 * Romans 8:28-30 "28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."
