So, your resistance to being “...in one category or another.” extends to whether you are a Monergist or a Synergist? And, Judaizers were those who followed Paul around claiming that it was nice to “trust Jesus”, but now there is some tangible “stuff to do”...like recognizing the celebratory days (Gal. 3), and of course (as you point out) circumcision.
Why is it that God’s work in us, God choosing us, God reaching to us, God activating faith in us, God moving us is eclipsed in your posts with “Here is what is required!”? And, you are welcome.
BTW, please define “faith” for us. I am curious (if no one else is) what exactly you think this thing really is. And, kindly, don’t give us some “verse” answer...give us what you actually think faith is.
Dutchboy I think I have explained my position pretty well, and am not sure I like your general attitude.Keep reading because I am in the middle of a series, and perhaps you will find the answers you are looking for.
BTW I don’t resist taking a stand with Christ, I just resist categorizing myself according to humanly constructed categories such as “Synergist” ad or Monergist. Salvation is complex yet simple. God does it all from start to finish, and then calls upon us to believe Him.
