We teach that election is the act of God by which, before the foundation of the world, He chose in Christ those whom He graciously regenerates, saves, and sanctifies (Rom. 8:28–30; Eph. 1:4–11; 2 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 2:10; 1 Pet. 1:1, 2).
Pinaninindigan at itinuturo namin na ang paghihirang ay gawa ng Diyos kung saan, bago pa natatag ang sanlibutan, hinirang Niya kay Cristo ang mga taong nagmagandang-loob Niyang binigyan ng bagong buhay, iniligtas, at binabanal (Roma 8:28–30; Efeso 1:4–11; 2 Tesalonica 2:13; 2 Timoteo 2:10; 1 Pedro 1:1,2).
