The view that Salvation is through Faith alone is heresy.

Grace is not preceded by merit.
A man can be saved only when God shows mercy.
A man can do no good without God. A man does nothing good for which God is not responsible.
We are loved by God, even when we displease Him, so that we might have means to please Him.

A man can do no good without God. A man does nothing good for which God is not responsible.

___________________________________________________

Can man choose to believe in God without God being ultimately responsible?

If not, then it begs the question(s): “Why didn’t God instill belief in me? Why not you?”

Especially when the consequences are eternal damnation.

This statement is awfully hard to reconcile with the belief that those who do not choose Faith in Jesus Christ fail to do so because God does not will it.
