"And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."

None are saved but those ordained. Those predestined, picked, chosen by GOD to have eternal life, those are the ones who believe. All that will ever be saved, GOD knew of before the world was ever created. This doesn't mean for us to discontinue evangelism for the sake of GOD's preordained selection. This should encourage evangelism because we know GOD has some out there that HE has chosen for HIMSELF. Meaning: some will believe when the Gospel is shared no matter what!!! Why? Because GOD has chosen some. 

This Scripture reads: "…As many as were ordained to eternal life believed." Not: "As many as believed were ordained to eternal life." GOD's election comes before our belief. GOD's election is the very reason for our belief!
