Election

While the sermon accurately highlighted Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection as the foundation of salvation, it conflated God's sovereign election with human decision-making. This created theological confusion about whether salvation depends on God's grace alone or human choice. Pastors should carefully distinguish between God's initiating grace and our responsive faith to avoid misleading listeners.

Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Thyatira — The sermon conflates divine sovereignty with human choice, presenting salvation as dependent on human response rather than God's sovereign grace, which aligns with the warnings against tolerating false teaching in [Revelation 2:20-23](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A20-23&version=KJV).
