“Ephesians 2 says grace saves, not faith. Men are saved by grace through faith.”

I’m waiting for the citation, “You are saved by grace through election.”

If true - and that is what Calvinism declares, that it is God’s work of election that is the root of our salvation, not the faith that comes afterward - then shouldn’t it be explicitly stated SOMEWHERE? ONCE?

That would solve everything, eh? Then what would we have to talk about on the FR Religion forum?

I know... Icons!
