What's Wrong with Calvinism?

[Presby02]

Textwise no. There is a that to see what God chose

However examine the passage and see how one gets to be in Christ

Ephesians 1:13 (NASB95) — 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

It is by believing that one is sealed in him and not being unconditionally elected

"Testwise no". Good talk.

He chose us in Him to be holy and blameless. All those things occur in Him.

Yes, those who believe are in Christ, and being in Christ, they are holy and blameless before God in love as predestined

Ephesians 1:9–14 (NASB95) — 9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, 12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Yes God chose those who believe in Christ to be holy and blameless

Ephesians 1:13 (NASB95) — 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

the "in him" are those who believe in him
