Question 14. Does God Choose Some For Heaven and Some For Hell?

I think the best way to answer this is to mention a few verses and then quote from a well known and respected preacher of a day gone by!

Romans 1:16  

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation of everyone who believes."

Romans 10:13 

"Whoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."

1 Timothy 2:4 

"(God) ... desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth"

2 Peter 3:9   

"The LORD . . . is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

1 Timothy 2:5 

". . . there is one God and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all men . . ."

Hebrews 2:9   

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

C.H. Spurgeon said:

"Your damnation is your own election, not God's.

We are lost willfully and willingly, lost perversely and utterly, but still lost of our own accord, which is the worst kind of being lost.

From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom . . . He that perishes chooses to perish . . .

We hold tenaciously that salvation is all of grace but we also believe with equal firmness that the ruin of man is entirely the result of his own sin.  It is the will of God that saves; it is the will of man that damns.

All true theology is summed in these two short sentences: Salvation is all of the grace of God.  Damnation is all of the will of man."
