Isn't it true that you believe the Gospel because you have faith? And isn't it conversely true that others DON'T believe because they don't have faith?
I mean if I preached to you that you can be saved if you believe that skins of a duck-billed platypus, had to be worn on your head, on Mt Everest, would you believe?
So why do you believe God became a baby, was tortured, died, and rose again, so that those who believe will be saved?

EXCELLENT OP!
What a complete dismantling and DEVASTATION of calvinism. That ideology is spoiled by philosophy.
So contradictory I wonder how can anyone believe it and believe in the literal interpretation of scripture? Its unbelievable.
@BaptistBibleBeliever Can I use this OP?

Oh, I get it . . . you are a Calvinist.
Where does faith come from? Same place it always comes from . . . "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."
"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" (II Thessalonians 2:13-14).
I heard the Gospel, the Holy Spirit convicted me and I responded to that grace.
Please do not reply with, "That's nice, but what do you really believe?"

Yeah, the very NEXT verse says that hearing is not enough:
For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So faith is from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth...
R 10
Hearing is needed, but is not the only thing needed.

You just denounced election, then claimed it later. Not my problem if you don't believe the plain teachings of Scripture, but then do, "just in case." Better get all your t's crossed and i's dotted -- play both sides of the field, "just in case."
The fact rermain's, you simply do not know what you're talking about and every single misinterpretation, straw man, lie, slander in your OP can be readily dismantled.
Yet another thing is you already "know it all" and thence cannot be taught and shown your egregious errors which would make you bow your knee and literally and actually cause you to be Soli Deo Gloria.
To top all that off you condemn men's souls to hell, who also trust Solus Christus, know the Scriptures, and God way more intimately than you. It is ignorant fundamental baptist nonsense, and I was there in the BBFI for years.

So you started this thread with a great big chip on your shoulder. You got up this morning and said "hey, I think I'll stir the pot. There's been a little too much peace on the CC boards."
You appear to have no desire to talk about what people believe.
Well, I'll knock the chip off.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, AND THAT not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
So right there we are told where our faith comes from. YOU didn't muster the faith up in your mind. The LORD gave you that faith.
Is the LORD in control? I have heard EVERY Christian in EVERY denomination say this. But how many truly believe it?
