"Hey man, you're screwed unless you're one of the lucky few that God has predistined to enter into heaven. Salvation? Well, you can go through the motions, but unless He sees fit to enlighten you, you're still screwed. What if you obey His commandments? Don't you get it? YOU are not obeying anything. God is obeying His commandments through you. You have no choice in the matter."
Does that about sum it up?
So where is faith in all of this? Faith is not faith if I am being willed to believe. If the Lord is the one who "sees fit to enlighten me" then if is not I who believes, but the Lord who believes for me.
No.
God will grant salvation to all who call upon the name of the Lord. However, as stated in Romans 3, no one wants to call on Him for salvation, they are all undone, they are altogther unprofitable. They will not call upon Him unless they are born again by the power of His Spirit in regeneration.
Here it is again:
True, or False?
