Predestination (Calvinism)

The Calvinist doctrine of predestination, is the religious doctrine sometimes referred to as "double predestination". The term double predestination is usually used in a disparaging way to refer to the Calvinist belief that God has not only appointed the eternal destiny of some to salvation (Unconditional election), but by necessary inference, also appointed the remainder to eternal damnation (Reprobation). In other words, the doctrine of "double predestination" says that, before the foundation of the world, (1) God appointed his elect to eternal life, and (2) God condemned the rest to everlasting punishment.
