Doctrine of Election

Doctrine of Election, the doctrine that the salvation of a man depends on the election of God for that end, of which there are two chief phases: one is election to be Christ's, or unconditional election or Doctrine of Free Will, and the other that it is election in Christ, or conditional election.

In its proper theological sense, the Doctrine of Election is monergistic as opposed to synergistic.
