Because you said no one is born a believer , I had said no one is born a non believer either . Because if you don’t know about something you can’t believe that thing or disbelieve it you haven’t heard about it to decide .
ignorance of something isn’t unbelief. Tangibly sister of you are unaware of something you aren’t a believer of it or a disbeliever of it.
people can’t believe or disbelieve until they hear the gospel
“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?
And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? ( no one can believe in someone or thing they haven’t heard about)
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? ( nonone could hear the gospel and believe unless Jesus sent people out to preach it as he did )
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:10-14, 17
tou can’t accept or reject something you haven’t heard or don’t know about belief requires information so does unbelief
“Then Philip opened his mouth, and
began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
( now he can believe or disbelieve )
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the
eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And
Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
( this man didn’t know what Isaiah was talking about until Philip preached Jesus to him after he heard he could believe and be baptized )
And
he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.”
Acts 8:35-38 KJV
Calvinists believe human kind as whole is born morally incapable of believing the Gospel message when they hear it and are taught it unless God provides revelation first.
I do not care if every person is as morally reprehensible as Hitler that isn't even the issue, the issue is belief and the ability to be morally persuaded by the power and words inherent in the Gospel message.
ONE > Mankind’s inability to submit to God’s law does not prove their inability to trust in Christ who fulfilled the law for mankind.
TWO > Mankind’s inability to please God while acting in the flesh does not prove mankind’s inability to respond to the spiritual appeal of God so as to receive his spirit.
Hebrews 3: 7
So, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts."
Indicates choice, volition, being persuaded by the weight of the message, NO it does not state God will make your heart believe or give you private personal revelation to believe. The power and message of the Gospel, God's words along with the evidence is sufficient.
Every Calvinist proof text has been dealt with by who have left this sect and their hermeneutics are sound.
Im not really sure what calvanists believe , I’m familiar with Calvin’s writings . But people can read the same thing and come to different conclusions. I find some good and also some really wrong conclusions overall in his writings but just my own perception of it
The thing is if you look carefully God makes a covenant with people and then they end up breaking it and become at the end of the covenant wicked and are destroyed. There’s a series of this repeating itself you see it in genesis God makes a covenant with man , man breaks the covenant and over a long times period they become wicked
beginning of a covenant
“And
God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:31 KJV
man sins and then after a time period the result
“And GOD saw that
the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ( we aren’t made by God like this sin does it to us over time ) And
it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said,
I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:5-7
many don’t realize this happened over time before this became the condition of man some walked with God and we’re righteous . But over time th e inowledge of sin corrupts humankind
God destroys the wicked and then begins again with Noah eventually choosing abrams offspring as a people eventually the second generation inder Joshua they become obedient to God bit later generations turn away from him and again become inheriantly wicked over time until we again see God look down and see like genesis 6 that there’s no one left who isn’t sinful and wicked and turned against him so again he destroyed the wicked people spared a few and made a new covenant with all people …. We’re told again in the end man will become inheriantly wicked and and be destroyed this time by fire ect
But exactly as your saying this part
“For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13 KJV
has always been a capability of mankind
“And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos:
then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.”
Genesis 4:26 KJV
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.”
