The reference to ' boasting ' is referring to ' works ' v faith .Our faith is indeed activated by the hearing of the Word of God, but not all that hear believe. Why?
Are those of us who believe smarter, wiser, better people than those who do not believe?
That sounds like boasting to me!
True but if you think about it works vs faith is related to those who hear the word and are not saved. Those who attempt to gain salvation by works are like those who hear the word but are deaf those by faith are saved by it because they don't just hear it with their ears they hear it with their hearts.The reference to ' boasting ' is referring to ' works ' v faith .
Yes but one has to accept the gospel first the holy spirit only comes afterwardsUltimately I believe the Gospel is enough .The Holy Spirit wrought revelation .
The difference i would see is as it says in 1 cor . " believing in vain " . Where as believing or obeying from the heart Rom 6.17 is different .True but if you think about it works vs faith is related to those who hear the word and are not saved.

yep that is basically how it works people can hear the gospel but unless their hearts are pierced by it then they believe in vainThe difference i would see is as it says in 1 cor . " believing in vain " . Where as believing or obeying from the heart Rom 6.17 is different .
Paul does not know those things until taught after by Jesus.
Yeah After he was saved .Our small child like trust is enough to obey from the heart ,the Truth of the Gospel . I believe God's truth is sufficient.Paul glorified God for the wisdom God gave him, as we glorify God for our faith God gave us.
Order of salvation.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.Which would be ?
I see that we are predestined to be conformed is what promise we recieve after we believe . I don't believe anyone is predestined to be converted.For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Some would call Romans 8:29-30 the order of salvation: the acts of God and the response of the individual in salvation.
How can we be conformed to the image of Christ without conversion?I see that we are predestined to be conformed is what promise we recieve after we believe . I don't believe anyone is predestined to be converted.

We are only conformed to his image at glorification.How can we be conformed to the image of Christ without conversion?
Only if we have converted. You cannot leave that out. Otherwise, it is the second death via the LoF.We are only conformed to his image at glorification.
Amen . Which is the redemption of the body . Rom 8.23... predestined to be conformed ...
We are only conformed to his image at glorification.
Of course . Only those whom are known as sons are then predestined to glorification. The spirit of adoption is the guarantee that this will take place. This is the destination granted when we are in him .Only if we have converted. You cannot leave that out. Otherwise, it is the second death via the LoF.
