Magenta over to you.
Why would I bother to offer you Scripture to wrest? All the saved are elect. If you can't see that then start praying. Maybe less typing, more study for you.
wow seariously... ?... so your saying the minute you recieve The spirit your elect ?..ok pal whatever..
The time stamp shows I beat you by a minute, so, no, not the exact same time...
I never thought about it like that.
Does rhat mean Abel had faith and Cain did not?

You have little to no reading comprehension and nothing in what I stated even implied the above. We are all elect prior to salvation.
With all due respect if you cannot grasp a simple one line sentence on here, how are you going to know biblical truth? Is this why you misunderstand so much Scripture? I say this not to demean, but out of concern because I'm seeing a pattern.
Jimbo what about the following
Ephesians 1:13-14
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Ther ya have it folks you must continue to work your salvation out and not assume you allready have it...

Cant see anything in the verses I quoted that talks about if you continue to walk in the spirit.
I think genuine believers can struggle big time to walk in the spirit but that is another issue.
i don't have a ginger wig nor ginger hair but if I grow a beard the bottom part goes ginger. My kilt is red.
As for morris shoes, that's definitely English
Um, no. You're adding into the text your erroneous theology.
You cannot work out something you don't already possess. In this case it is salvation, and believer's already possess salvation.
Then there is the next verse for the context: for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
That is evidence of conversion, or, what we call salvation. Stop reading things into the text that aren't there, you do this with what people say on this forum as well. Please get someone to help ground you in sound doctrine, you're on an erroneous path my friend.
