The framework offered whole

From Sovereign Grace and the Scope of Election: A Comparative Examination of Attainment Theology and Grace Theology, with Particular Attention to the Question of Whether God's Elect Are Found Among All Nations and Religions

Let the reader now see the argument's actual structure, because it is fairer than proof-texting in both directions. Grant two premises, that regeneration is God's immediate act (Principles 1 and 5 pressed against John 1:13, 3:8, 5:25) and that election is unconditional (pressed against Romans 9 and Ephesians 1), and the remainder of this document follows with something close to necessity: the elect must be save-able wherever they are; preaching must therefore serve another purpose than regeneration; the conditional texts must therefore belong to time; the kingdom's graded language must belong to the visible sphere; and no organization can hold the franchise. Refuse the premises, and the conclusions rightly fall. The honest ground of dispute, then, is the premises, and the reader is invited to attack them there, with this warning posted in advance: the premises cannot be refuted by re-quoting the conditional texts, because the framework already houses those texts intact (Principle 2); they can only be refuted by producing a reading of John 1:13, John 3:8, Romans 9:11-16, and Ephesians 1:4-5 that survives Principles 1, 5, and 6. That is the whole contest, fought on ground both sides can see.
