For the FV, no one is elect. Christ is Elect, and as our Federal Head all those who are His can be called, or counted as elect. The definition of those who are His is the sign of the covenant, which is baptism. So, all baptised persons can be called elect because of their relationship with Christ, who is the Elect One.
And is it the same with righteousness? Christ is Righteous, we do not have Christ's Righteousness imputed to us, but as our Federal Head, we can be called, or counted righteous, in the sense that God will judge those of us who continue in the covenant as having been in the right (rather than perfect in His eyes), when He judges the whole world on that day in the future.
Is that a parody of what they believe, or standard thinking among the chief proponents of the movement?
Thanks much
