“Full 5 pointer here.. Limited atonement makes rational sense, but people cannot and will not believe unless the Spirit convinces them. Faith is a GIFT.”

The Spirit calls, but does not “convince” anyone.

I do not understand how “faith” can be a “gift.” Surely, it is not listed as a “spiritual gift” provided by the Holy Spirit, of which no one has all the gifts.

Of course, you could say one has the gift of tongues but has no gift of faith, but that seems inherently ingenuous to most people.

There is A gift, and then there are THE gifts.

I do not understand how “faith” can be a “gift.” Surely, it is not listed as a “spiritual gift” provided by the Holy Spirit, of which no one has all the gifts.

But faith IS listed as a "spiritual gift" provided by the Holy Spirit:

To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit... (I Corinthians 12:8,9)
