Central to predestination is the belief that God is sovereign over everything that he creates, including the final end of all men. There are two formulations of predestination—predestination proper (sometimes called "single" predestination) and "double" predestination<ref>[http://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/double-predestination/ "Double" Predestination, by R. C. Sproul]</ref>. In the former view, God elects whom he will give faith to (and subsequently save) and leaves the rest to receive justice for their rebellion against God. In the other, God elects who will come to saving faith but also chooses those who will be eternally lost. Having not been chosen to receive Faith, they have no means of escaping the consequences of their sins.
