I've been studying the WCF recently. In chapter III, "Of God's Eternal Decree", it reads

Quote
Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter III
III. 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.

IV. These angels and men, thus predestinated and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeably designed; and their number is so certain and definite that it can not be either increased or diminished.

The WCF distinguishes the way in which the elect and the reprobate are "set apart" by using the word "predestinated" for the elect and "foreordained" for the reprobate. My question is what is difference between the two words and why not just say some were predestinated for life and some were predestinated for death? Is the process of predestining different in some way from the process of foreordaining?

Thanks,
John
