Romans 10:13

Magenta · May 2, 2023

I believe what the Bible teaches. You do not, and that really is not fine, though you will probably not change.

If God did not draw unbelievers to Himself, none would seek Him. That is Bible Truth, which you deny.

I really cannot condone your lack of comprehension in this regard.

Hopefully God will open your eyes.

No one has said grace doesn't save. Only that the vehicle it uses is faith. And faith always has an object.
All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But how can one call upon one they have not believed in? And how does one believe in one they have not heard?

God does pull on our hearts everyday to come to Him ---I agree with that ----But we have to respond to that Draw--God does not make any unbeliever respond to His Drawing ---- we have a choice to Accept that DRAW or REJECT the Draw ---many reject the Draw ---SOME ACCEPT that draw -----

The unbeliever is away From God their god is Satan ------so you can believe that God was somehow involved in your life but the Scripture clearly says That He is Not until you have come to your senses and accept that your a Sinner in need of a Saviour -------and God knows every single person's heart to know who will accept His Drawing and who will Not -------

So say what you will but God is Not personally involved in the Sinners Life ---Satan is -----

You are so utterly confused with your false gospel that you really have no clue about either drawing or regeneration or God's elect. What you need to do is dump your false theology and go back to the Bible.

JOHN 16 COMMENTARY ◄
John 16:8-12 Convict the World of Sin
John 16:13-15 Spirit of Truth

JOHN 16:8-11 8 “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

What impact will the Holy Spirit have on the world?

"He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:8).
How will the Holy Spirit convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment?

Through Christians whom He will indwell, empower and lead.

What did Jesus mean by convicting the world "of sin, because they do not believe in Me" (John 16:9)?

The Holy Spirit will lead Christians to preach Jesus' gift of salvation, which delivers people from their sins (plural).
When people reject that, they will be convicted of the "sin" (singular) of not believing Jesus' sacrifice on the cross paid the death penalty due for their sins, and therefore remain guilty of them.

Grace saves, it doesnt use anything. Faith is a product of Grace. Its of Faith that it may be by grace Rom 4:16

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

In other words, man doesnt have Faith until Grace gives it to him when Grace saves Him.

Nehemiah6 said:

Again Drawing is regeneration, once God regenerates you He draws and causes you to believe

Cameron143 · May 2, 2023

brightfame52 said:

You've changed the argument. We were talking about salvation. Grace uses faith to produce salvation. But no one is saved who doesn't believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

God can elect people before the foundation of the world. And on the basis of His intention, He can speak of it as though it has already come to pass. But He exists outside of time. Individuals have to realize the salvation God has provided in space and time. And part of that will be faith in Christ. They will come to believe on Him.

Actually what it means, is that Afghanistan is not fertile ground for the gospel. The gospel cannot be successfully preached in Afghanistan, the conversion ratio is next to zero. Millions upon millions of people just like you and I, unable to become Christians.

Afghanistan is a perfect example of why Calvinism is incorrect.

There are many factors in play in the background as to why the gospel advances, in one country over another country.

You are not preaching the good news.

You are preaching a factional doctrine, a doctrine that generates discord.

There is only one name under heaven that we preach, Jesus Christ.

Do you believe that God forced Adam to sin?

That would be logical, if Calvinism was true.

LeeLoving said:

Absolutely not. And you can't take just obe scripture and run with it as though it said all there is to say on the subject. There are other scriptures that provide more information on what is required to be saved. When you look at ALL pertinent scriptures, you wind up with the following;
1. Belief and faith
2. Confession of belief
3. Repentance
4. Baptism

Doing ALL the above saves your soul.

Better throw away that Verse, it doesn't fit what the Chosen/Selected/Predestined crowd pushes as gospel..

That Verse demonstrates FREE WILL, and that kind of idealism ain't allowed to breathe.
