Kelton,
Words are ordered in a certain fashion for a reason. Usually they are
closest to the other words with which they are construed.
As regards your comment regarding Perseverance of the Saints, that is a
subject even we Calvinists don't discuss on this list. Theological
discussion is stark verboten.
