Hello all this is my fist post!

I have been challenged by a good friend that believes in predestination to study the scriptures and see what I find. I believe that scripture points many times to election throgh grace and not a work of man.

This leaves me very humbled and uneasy at times.

To be honest is it possible to be saved by God at a young age around 12 and then live a sinful life, then by lifes events be brought to my knees to make a choice to start honoring God like I knew in my heart should have been doing all along?

Thanks For any responses and I have a lot more questions...
