Q. 68

Are the elect only effectually called?

Text: Orthodox Presbyterian Church text, with WLC 109 restored to the 1647 wording · Read it at the source

All the elect, and they only, are effectually called; although others may be, and often are, outwardly called by the ministry of the word, and have some common operations of the Spirit; who, for their willful neglect and contempt of the grace offered to them, being justly left in their unbelief, do never truly come to Jesus Christ.
