Does 2 Timothy 1:9 prove the Doctrine of Election?

2 Timothy 1:9 states: > Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according > to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was > given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. If this verse says what I think it does, that we were chosen to be saved "before the world began," doesn't that prove the Calvinist Doctrine of Election?
