No, he chose that those who would be in Christ would be holy and blameless before him in love
He did not choose who would be in Christ.
Christ is the elect, so also are those in him.
Believing in Christ places you in him.

In the mind of God? Absolutely. Already but not yet
As he avoided mone. Very telling. Mine precedes his. Do you read books backwards?
Read Ephesians 1:4. What does it say?

Ya I think some mistakes were made with a few parings that cost us. They are better at team play for sure.
Not in the mind but actually
Ephesians 1 concerns those already in Christ
Remember in your theology men are born dead
Nice side step refusing to answer why HE did not chose EVERYONE to be in Christ and therefore to be holy and blameless!!! <face palm>
Seriously?
Am I supposed to explain why God planned as he did?
I can only tell you what scripture states.
He gave man a free will and left it up to him to freely decide.
He did not choose who would be in Christ.
Christ is the elect, so also are those in him.
Believing in Christ places you in him.
That is scripture.

Read the post
Those spoken of in Eph 1:4 were chosen in Christ that they should be holy and blameless.
Ephesians 1:1–14 (LEB) — 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace that he bestowed on us in the beloved, 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, 8 that he caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight, 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in him, 10 for the administration of the fullness of times, to bring together all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him 11 in whom also we were chosen, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 that we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory, 13 in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also when you believed you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.
Every blessing is a result of being in Christ
Before the foundation of the world, this is what God determined concerning those who would be in Christ.
He did not determine who would be in Christ
If you did not understand that the determination concerned what would be the destiny of those who believed in Christ,
So it concerns what you think would be
Hello
Did you not complain about the idea of speaking about what would be?
What the passage does not say, however, is he chose so that those spoken of would be in Christ.
Rather, he chose that those spoken of—those in Christ—would be holy and blameless before him in love.
That is really funny
First, you did not accurately quote the verse. You entirely ignored the fact that he chose those in Christ to be holy and blameless before him in love.
It does not state he chose us to be in him as you read it.
It does state he chose those in Christ spoken of to be holy and blameless before him in love.
