Which best describes your view about predestination, election and damnation?

Election is a divisive issue, and so is damnation.

Are you Arminian on these particular points? Do you tend to believe that groups are elected, but not individuals within those groups?

Do you believe in predestination of the saved (election) and preterition of the lost (they are merely passed over), or do you believe in double election?

Or are you unsettled, or perhaps hold a viewpoint not listed? All comments are welcome, but if you hold another viewpoint, please (very briefly) explain what that might be.

I think it is fair to assume that all of us also believe that individuals are responsible for their choices, even if that seems to be a paradox to some views. If I am wrong about this in your case, please let us know.
