Much of your understanding of Scripture is not Scriptural, whether it is on someone else’s thread or your own.

Then refute it, instead of just rejecting it.

Where does it say we are given faith and belief as gifts after God’s secret act of regeneration? Shouldn’t there be at least ONE verse that teaches that explicitly? One?!

Meanwhile, there are hundreds that say we must believe, and our salvation is conditional upon our believing.

Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.

Found, not given.

Mat 8:13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Matt 9:

2 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.”

22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30And their eyes were opened.
