That passage does not teach Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous on their own strength. You’ll not find a passage that teaches that in the entire Book.
Also, of course I believe it. The danger was believing lies and living in accordance with lies. I believe in Divine Sovereignty, but I also believe in human responsibility. Calvinism is not rank fatalism.

” That passage does not teach Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous on their own strength. “

“I believe in Divine Sovereignty, but I also believe in human responsibility. Calvinism is not rank fatalism.”
So you don’t believe that every single event in your life is predestined?
