"God looks to see who will refuse His grace and persistently refuse to turn to Him."

And what about faith that God gives to us to believe?

"There are different definitions of faith....It depends on how you define "faith"."

Oops...I guess it's like that pesty "is" word.

God doesn't give ALL men equal gifts, according to the Church - thus, we can presume that God does not give all men "faith". But if He doesn't, it must be based on man's rejection of God.

LOL! Really, there ARE different meanings, which Protestants themselves tell me, such as James' definition of Satan's faith in Christ and Paul's definition of faith in Christ.
