never heard of it before you posted your question. i did a search and found nothing. does anyone know what the belief of triple predestination is?
Check up Greek Gnosticism, you will most likely find it's roots in there somewhere! Marcus

I know more than the average bear about gnosticism, and the only thing I recall of election came from the Sethites. But it had naught to do with this.
After checking up a few places, I came up with the answer that triple predestination is a descriptor that:
1) some are destined to be saved
2) some are conditionally destined to be saved, and
3) some are destined to be damned
