Disciples have no official position on predestination. The Restoration Movement's founding instinct was anti-Calvinist, emphasizing human response to the gospel and the genuine universal offer of salvation. This Arminian-leaning heritage continues in Disciples practical theology: God desires all to be saved, and humans freely respond to the gospel.

The denomination's progressive turn in the late 20th century has largely moved away from systematic engagement with predestination debates. The focus is on God's universal love, justice, and invitation to all people rather than on questions of divine decrees.
