Q. 1. What makes the difference between effectual and ineffectual Calling?
A. Ineffectual calling is when men have nothing but the external sound of the Gospel. Mat. 20.16. For many be called, and few chosen. Effectual is, when the Spirit works in conjunction with the Word. John 6.45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh unto me.
