Do you Affirm, or Deny, that True Faith involves a Volitional Mental Action, initiated by a Decision of Will? ~~ I wholeheartedly affirm it. What I deny is that the Bible teaches that that mental "action" constitutes a "work" that "earns" salvation.

Alright, then let's split the hairs a bit finer:

Agreeing that NO WORK can ever "earn" Salvation in any way...

Is it true that Faith is a WORK (an Activity, a Volitional Action of Will, whether "earnful" or not) in ANY SENSE AT ALL?

Or, does Faith NOT involve any Volitional Action of Will whatsoever?

I'm prepared to argue -- and win -- God's Total Sovereignty any way you slice it; you just tell me which way you wanna play it.

Best, OP

The same way as this thread has been doing for years now.

Us successfully, and you not so much so.

It's easy since the bible's on our side.

Saving faith is not a work.

You already have my answer, OP. If you want to continue the debate, you'll have to actually tackle Romans 4 and Ephesians 2 instead of simply repeating a tradition of men that faith is a work. Until you do, why should I waste my time restating my position over and over again?
