Is predestination & the elect of God, Biblical? Does it affect free will?

Predestined

- to appoint beforehand; to foreordain
Chose
- to pick out; to separate from the rest of mankind
Will
- what God wishes, determines, chooses, desires, or pleasures to be done
Purpose
- to place something sacred in view
Called (“klètos”)
- invited by God for salvation
- elect and non-elect (“general”)
Foreknew
- to have knowledge beforehand
Called (“kaleõ”)
- invited by God to receive a title - elect only (“specific”)
 
FOREKNEW = PREDESTINED = CALLED (“KALEÕ”) = GLORIFIED = JUSTIFIED
 
Elect
- select, best of its kind, preeminent
- picked out, chosen by God to obtain salvation through Christ
"Many are
called ("klètos")
but few are chosen."
 
(elect+non-elect)
  ("elect")
