And there’s nothing left for us to do other than to repent and believe in the FINISHED works of the cross. But wait, what can we do? He did it all. Even repentance and believing are gifts from Him.
I was searching for something and came across your posts and responses to them. I have to say, I am so sorry you're being berated for your faith, and mocked and attacked due to your use of wording in your posts.
Rather than continually challenging people to prove to you that they have faith in a manner you seem to need to approve, why don't you detail what gives you your faith and how you came to believe you have that?
Sure. Post 1526:

If English is not your first language, and that is not meant to insult you at all, it is understandable you would not know proper grammar.
I know someone who is Thai and while they admit learning their own language grammar in school, while knowing how to speak the language as taught by family as a child, was incredibly difficult, they said learning English grammar was even worse.
Don't let yourself feel bad about that.
God knows your heart.
As to the correction you received concerning the word, without any explanation as to the correct usage, of "Affect", is of no good use. This may help you to understand. It is my hope that it does. God continue to keep your strength in His light and against all darkness that confronts you.
Affect is always a verb - Towson University
While affect is always a verb, effect is usually a noun . As a noun, effect means "theresult," "the change," or "the influence." As affect , a verb " produces a change," effect, a noun, is the"change" or "result." Example of effect usedas a noun Since effect means an"influence" in this sentence, it is the correct word to use here.
It's not your faith. It's not my faith. It's the faith of Jesus Christ.
Of course it's the faith of Jesus Christ. And He has gifted that faith to us. I think THAT'S the point I've been making all along. Otherwise WHERE does that faith come from.
I came to know Christ because there were a good number of born again Christians praying to God that I would become saved. Many a tear was shed for me to be saved.
Everything that comes to pass is part of God's will. Even that which we can not truly comprehend is part of His divine sovereign will. But you saying God loves everybody equally is not true. His wrath is on the children of disobedience[John 3:36]
God hates sin but God loves people. If God did not love people He would not have sent His Son in the likeness of sinful man to die to atone for mans sin.Careful there. That's a mighty Calvinistic way of saying ppl were praying for God to save you. They weren't praying for God to 'try' to save you, but to save you. That's a mighty Calvinistic way of putting it.
Exactly!!! Bingo!! Now you're getting it!! By jove, I think he got it!!
Oh, you mean theses ppl?
The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.[Psalm 5:5-6]
There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.[Proverbs 6:16-19]
Notice, this not only speaks of ppl's deeds, but also the ppl. You can not divorce the sin from the sinner. It is the sinner that gets cast headlong into the lake of fire my friend.

God loved the world yes, He sent His son. Does not mean God currently is presently loving Kim Jong too much. God would not send people to hell if He loved them. God loved (past tense) them when He sent the Son, but if they did not repent and turn to the Son, the wrath of God remains on them. This is said right after the John 3:16 you referenced:
