The question is a false dichotomy. The Church is not a human bureacracy. The Church consists of all those who have truly repented of their sins and truly believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. Such have been chosen by God before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:4 ESV
[4] even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
