    Becuase that is the way that Scripture describes it. I am satisfied to use those terms becasue Scripture uses them. Furthermore, knowledge of the future, or even predetermination of the future, does not render the future null and void. The acts still must take place. Man is saved by belief and is never saved apart from belief. Therefore, until such a time as he believes, he is unsaved.

    But what are they being saved from? Surely they can't be saved from eternal seperation from God.

    I believe they are being saved from the road to destruction. If this is what they are being saved from, then the term saved fits, even for those whose destiny if pre-determined.

    I think this way of looking at it fits your response too.
