1689 3:3-5 The Doctrine of Election | Confessing the Faith

The biblical doctrine of election as an act of selection presupposes and implies an act of rejection.  

Did not God simply elect those whom he foresaw would repent, believe, be receptive, be holy or persevere? Did God elect only nations or groups? i.e. Does Rom. 9 have only to do with the election of nations. Did God simply choose the church as a whole?
