You have no knowledge of any of my spiritual beliefs, AlwaysThere. My preference is to keep my spiritual beliefs to myself since they aren't relevant to anyone but me. As for your "chosen-ness," it is clear from the text of Ephesians that the "us" includes everyone--you no more than anybody else. You're no more chosen, according to Ephesians 2: 1-2, than the Muslim or the non-believer.
