Ron,

You are correct. I do not see how taking "know" in a salvific sense would remove grace. Is not repentance/faith a result of God's electing, special grace?

Yes, it is, which Reformed Baptists embrace. Again, they would say that when God switched from an all inclusive covenant, elect and reprobate, to an exclusive new covenant of only the elect, the difference becomes that "all" will now know the Lord as opposed to just "some". The "some" were the elect among the reprobate.

Blessings,

Ron
