Q.68. Are only the elect effectually called?

A. All the elect, and only they, are effectually called.[1] Although others may be and often are externally called by the ministry of the word,[2] and although the Spirit may work in them in some of the same ways he works in the elect,[3] from their own willful neglect of and contempt for the grace that is offered them, they are justly allowed to remain in their unbelief and never truly come to Christ.[4]
