I'm just looking for references for that. It is different from the Arminian concept of election based on foreseen faith (i.e. conditional election). | Yes Gom, Barth believed Christ was alone the elect. Barth has such a view of sovereignty that he ended up believe Christ sdeath was so powerful, all would be saved. I find this actually better than free will salvation
