Do you think that only some men will be saved whom GOD has elected.

Actually, all that God has elected to be will be saved. None will fall short. Several verses emphasize this fact: here are a few:
Romans 5:9 "Much more than, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." (Context: the elect).
Romans 8:29-30. "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn amoung many brethren.
Moreoever whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."
John 17:9 "I pray for them (context: Jesus praying for his disciples). I do not pray for the world, but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours."

Read the whole book of Romans. There are so many verses that support predestination of the elect...I couldn't possibly quote all of them wink

Now if a man is not under election, is it because GOD knows that man will reject HIM in the future.


To take your scenario, in other words, you are saying that this certain man is not one of the elect because, before the world began, God saw ( because he knows everything) that this certain man would reject Him. Therefore God does not elect him. Is that what you meant?


How can this be? IF the above scenario is true, that makes God the servant of man's will. (and therefore not sovereign) i.e. God looks down 'the corridors of time' and sees if this man will reject him...once He sees that, then He doesn't elect him. You see how man is in control here?

This is conditional damnation (opposite of election)based upon what man will do.
No. God is in control (sovereign.) He chooses some (his elect) based on his own pleasure, not anything in man, (i.e. no free will) and damns the rest to hell. That is what man deserved anyway.

Romans 9: 14-15
"What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Cetainly not!
For He says to Moses, ' I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. ' "
