[Hank Kerchief]

I have one question. Does God give the elect the power to believe? When God's grace gives a man faith, who does the believing, the man given the grace and power to believe, or God?

The honest answer to this question is either:

"God does the believing," or "the man does the believing."

Any other answer is simply a dishonest attempt to avoid the truth.

Excellent question, Hank. Wouldn't hold my breath real long on this one.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

God gives a man the gift of faith. As a result of that gift, Man believes. However, man would never believe unless that gift was first given to him, which gave life to a deadened heart.

Unregenerate man can believe in many things Hank..He can believe he will win the lottery , or that Miss Cloe is right and he will meet his deam woman . or that there is no God, or that there are many god or that he can will his eternal salvation

One thing the unregenerate can not believe is the gospel
