God enters names in His book and possesses the prerogative to remove them. Whoever has sinned against God will be blotted out of His book. If a person turns away to serve other gods, every curse settles on him, and God blots out his name from under heaven. All the righteousness a man has done shall not be remembered because of his unfaithfulness.

God allows choice, even to choose eternal death. Also see sermons and articles about 'Name, Blotted Out'.
