The idea of corporate election expresses a Christian soteriological view that understands Christian salvation as based on "God choosing in Christ a people whom he destines to be holy and blameless in his sight".[1] Put another way, "Election is the corporate choice of the church 'in Christ.'"[2] Paul Marston and Roger Forster state that the "central idea in the election of the church may be seen from Ephesians 1:4":[3] "For he [God] chose us [the Church] in him [Christ], before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." William Klein adds:
Here [in Ephesians 1:3-4] Paul states that God chose Christians in Christ before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. The "chosen ones" designate the corporate group to whom Paul writes with himself (and presumably all Christians) included: God chose us. The focus is not on the selection of individuals, but the group of those chosen. As Westcott notes, "He chose us (i.e. Christians as a body, v. 4) for Himself out of the world." Paul specifies the timing of this choice—it was pretemporal, before the world was created. God made the choice "in him" (that is, "in Christ"). In other words, Christ is the principal elected one,[4] and God has chosen a corporate body to be included in him."[5]
^Donald C. Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, 1854. Brian Abasciano: "Most simply, corporate election refers to the choice of a group, which entails the choice of its individual members by virtue of their membership in the group. Thus, individuals are not elected as individuals directly, but secondarily as members of the elect group. Nevertheless, corporate election necessarily entails a type of individual election because of the inextricable connection between any group and the individuals who belong to it. Individuals are elect as a consequence of their membership in the group." ("Clearing Up Misconceptions About Corporate Election," Ashland Theological Journal 41 (2009):60.

^Abasciano notes: "And as F.F. Bruce succinctly states in relation to the 'in Christ' phrase of 1:4, Christ 'is the Chosen One of God par excellence.' The point is confirmed in Ephesians 1:6, which refers to Christ as the Beloved in whom God's grace has been lavished on us (the Church/believers), a term that signifies Christ as the Chosen One, most likely grounded in the title's use as a designation of God's chosen people in the Old Testament (LXX Deuteronomy 32:15; 33:5, 12, 26; Isaiah 5:1, 7; 44:2; Jeremiah 11:15; 12:7) and in the elective significance of love terminology in the Old Testament (e.g., Malachi 1:2), terminology that carries over into the New Testament in application to Christ (Colossians 1:13; Mark 1:11; 9:7 and parallels; Mark 12:6; Luke 20:13) and the Church (1 Thessalonians 1:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Romans 9:25; Colossian 3:12) in various texts" ("Clearing Up Misconceptions About Corporate Election," 60).

Klein, The New Chosen People, 179-180. So Paul Marston and Roger Forster: "The church is elect because it is in Christ and he is elect. . . . The Bible does not say that we are chosen to be put into Christ, but that we were chosen in Christ. Our election is not separate from his election. . . . The prime point is that the election of the church is a corporate rather than an individual thing. It is not that individuals are in the church because they are elect, it is rather that they are elect because they are in the church, which is the body of the elect One" (God's Strategy in Human History, 149, 150, 155).
