The Brethren in Christ reject Calvinist predestination (double predestination) and instead affirm Arminian theology. Predestination is understood conditionally: God has foreseen and ordained the salvation of all who would believe in Christ. Election is based on God's foreknowledge of who would respond to His grace in faith.

God does not determine who will be saved and who will be damned. Instead, God offers prevenient grace (grace that precedes and enables faith) to all humans. This grace is sufficient to enable all to respond to God's call, though some resist and reject it. Human freedom is genuine but enabled by God's grace.

No doctrine of double predestination is affirmed. God does not predestine anyone to damnation. The damned are those who persistently reject the grace offered to them. This understanding balances God's sovereignty with human responsibility, maintaining both divine initiative and human response as necessary to salvation.
