Man was created in the Image of God in that we are like God (Gen. 5:1) in true knowledge (Col 3:10, Ephesians 4:24), righteousness, holiness and is given dominion over all the creation. (gen. 2, I Cor. 11:7)

The Ordo Salutis are merely aspects of a person’s union with Christ.
I chose to refute this because I took the words ‘merely aspects’ to diminish the significance of the Ordo Salutis. However, I do believe that it is our Union with Christ is the foundation for the Ordo Salutis and after reading Murray have no issues with calling them aspects.
God makes a General Call and those that respond in faith are effectually called.
God makes a general call with a twofold effect of both hardening and softening of hearts.
Not all the called are chosen, but all the chosen are called.
I would disagree with the statement in that it places faith before effectual calling. Romans 8:30 says calling comes before justification/faith.
