[Cletus.D.Yokel]

To say that Jesus needed some help (Faith) in performing miracles is heres...uhhh...just bad theology.

Faith is the result of the miracle; it flows from the Act as a gift.
The Nazarenes simply denied God and would not be changed.

How many people do you know that will never have saving faith?
Do you continually badger them out of some misplaced desire to “see them in heaven” when you should shake the dust from your sandals and have nothing to do with them, spiritually?
It’s all the work of God; The Holy Spirit.

“I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.”

[Melian]

How many people do you know that will never have saving faith?

I don’t know any, and neither do you. Yes, it’s all the work of God, the Holy Spirit. “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

No doubt people at one time shook the dust from their sandals in my direction, and yet here I am a believer, all praise to Jesus!
