Behold, are you proud that you chose to believe in Jesus? If so, then, how does your experience compare with Paul's following statements?Yes.
Everyone has the capacity to believe.
This is called Trust.
All have it, as its built into us, by God's design.
This is why an unbeliever can be a WILLFUL unbeliever, as you find in Hebrews 10:26.
Why dont Buddhists believe in Jesus? Its because they have faith in something else.
Why is Tom Cruise a Scientologist? Its because that is where he placed HIS FAITH.
See, everyone has faith to believe........but only those who place it in Christ will be forgiven their sin..
:
Now, does God reveal Jesus to people?
A.) = All the time, .. as that is what The Cross does.......worldwide, ... 24/7.
Right now the Cross of Christ is calling the world of unbelievers to come and TRUST IN JESUS.
Does the Holy Spirit cause people to KNOW this truth?.......Of course, but He does not cause you to then put your faith in what you KNOW.
As that is on us.....that is our part........as WE are the BELIEVERS.
It is, the way you meant it. If salvation is conditioned on a person receiving a gift from someone, and receiving is a action verb, then its a work.He said Receiving a Gift is Works...
Nailing people down, is often the slippery part...
So then why are you asking ME what you know you said?I have seen it
Show us some scripture BF.It is, the way you meant it. If salvation is conditioned on a person receiving a gift from someone, and receiving is a action verb, then its a work.
How did you say we are saved Bruce?Behold, are you proud that you chose to believe in Jesus? If so, then, how does your experience compare with Paul's following statements?
Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Eph 2:6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Eph 2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Verse 5a: We were dead in our sins.
Verse 5b: He made us alive.
Verse 7, 8: He saved us by grace through faith, which is God's gift, not our own doing.
Verse 9: Therefore, we have nothing to brag about or to be proud of; it's all God's doing.

Calvinism gets a Calvinist killed, if the person is not Saved by Christ. Not being Saved, and believing in Calvinism, Provisionism, Catholicism, etc; will add to your Sins because of the Pride of life...Ok..
Just to redirect the Thread back into the original teaching.
