What does the Bible say about double predestination?

Answered in 3 sources

Double predestination teaches that God sovereignly predestines some to salvation and others to perdition, emphasizing God's complete control over salvation.

Double predestination is a doctrine rooted in the sovereignty of God, asserting that He predestines some individuals to eternal life while others are foreordained to eternal death. This concept reflects God’s sovereign purpose and decree, as highlighted in passages such as Philippians 1:28, where salvation is described as 'of God.' The Westminster Confession of Faith further explicates this doctrine, stating, 'By the decree of God for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.' This illustrates that both the salvation of the elect and the perdition of the reprobate are ultimately God's sovereign determinations.
