Now if we have been brought to repentance, given wisdom of the knowledge of Christ, acknowledge that He has given us our faith and filled us with His Spirit; what is it exactly that we do?
I'll tell you, in testimony after testimony I hear, it is always, “God spoke to my heart though [fill in the blank] and I asked Him in.” It is ALWAYS God initiated the action. I have yet to hear one testimony that says, “I just decided that God exists and I wanted to follow Him then I read the scriptures and found I was correct.”
I am saying we have the choice to accept Salvation, or to not accept Salvation. A sinless life is not possible, though a less sinful life is possible ... that is also a choice.
