Jesus does the saving. Not us. He did not ask me to have my doctrine straight before He saved me. He doesn’t ask others to have theirs straight before He saves them. So, “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Rom 10:13

Do you clean fish before you catch them?

I understand it is correct to say all three persons of the Godhead are involved in our salvation, but technically it is God the Father who elects and provides the call, and God the Holy Spirit who places the new human spirit in us created by God the Father, which He then indwells during this Church Age, while it is conditioned upon our receiving the common grace of God the Father with positive volition and accept the identity of Jesus Christ the Son, who is the object of our faith.

Excellent point.

But; after a while (How long? I sure don't know) them fish better get eaten or they begin to rot.

Heck; GOD STILL isn't thru with me yet!

(If He is; I'm in BIG trouble!)
