I find it interesting that the narrative that receiving a gift is considered" work" is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard to try and manipulate a doctrinal opinion. There is nothing in the word of God that says, teaches, or suggests that receiving the Gift of SALVATION BY GRACE IS A WORK THAT YOU DO. That is assumed and interjected into the context of the election. They are wrong on that point. But will not provide proof of that point.
Receiving a gift has to be a work because they say so(Calvinist). But they can't prove that through the word of God.
You did not buy the gift, you did not ask for the gift, yet when the gift is presented to you, you receive it with great joy, which means to them you worked for it. Why? Because they said so. LOL
