Elect?

To all you Christians out there, I was wondering on ya'lls veiwpoint of elect. I was raised baptist, and simpy thought that meant that God randomly chose some to go to heaven, and others to go to hell, and I didnt believe that, but after talking to a few Presbys on the matter, i learned it was more complex than that. However, I still believe that we have free will; I just want to hear what ya'll have to say. :thumbs_up
