refers to Christ, the cross and plan of salvation. We disconcurred that 1 Corinthians 1:24 refers to an effectual call. We concurred that “called” means more than just invited, like in the phrase “many are called but few are chosen”, because “called”, in 1 Corinthians seems exclusive to believers. We disconcurred that “called” has a group aspect as it seems to have in 1 Corinthians 1:9’s expression “called into the fellowship of His Son”. We disconcurred that the usage kletos in 1 Cor. 1:24 could mean convocation or assembly as it does in the Septuagint for Exodus 12:16 or Leviticus 23:2. We concurred that Clement of Alexandria was explaining why 1 Cor. 1:24 does not refer to an effectual call in Stromata, book 1, Chapter 18, when he said: “All having been therefore called, those who are willing to obey have been named "called.”
