My name was written before I was converted. I am converted because my name was written. For those whom God has pre-determined to save are also the ones whom God, in time, calls to His Son, Jesus Christ. God is the Scribe. He writes the name down.
Grace is the determining factor.
God Himself determines who shall be saved. And the Lamb, Jesus Christ, is the Steward entrusted to save those whose names are written in the book of life. It was entrusted to Him to do all that was necessary to save all those chosen by the Father and given to Him. It tells us at least this. It does not matter a snap about the prestigious organizations and clubs and societies that your name may be written upon.
