1) Why did Jesus need to speak in parables in Matthew 13? To prevent the lost from understanding.
2) Why did God hardened the hearts of unbelieving Jews in Romans 11, to prevent the lost from understanding.
3) Why did Paul speak to new Christians as to men of flesh using the milk of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 3? Because the lost have the limited free will to understand spiritual milk, but not solid food.
4) Why were the men of Matthew 23:13 able to be in the process of entering the kingdom, if they did not have limited spiritual ability. And if this ability is claimed to be from irresistible grace, how is it that they were prevented from going in?
The case is closed. -

But to rewrite God's inspired word to deny it means say his faith and your faith is beyond rational. -

God chose you corporately before you even heard of Jesus, but not individually. See 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

The rest of the verse describes the way that salvation is manifest. -
The clause modifies the verb, describing how we were chosen and on what basis we were chosen. How were we chosen, the Spirit set us apart in Christ. On what basis were we chosen, God crediting our faith in Christ as righteousness. -

Saved is a verb, salvation is a noun, and fallacy is fallacy. -

Hi Davidtaylorjr,
Concerning 2 Thessalonians 2:13, the "through..." clause
modifies the verb, describing how we were chosen and on what basis we were chosen. How were we chosen, the Spirit sets us apart in Christ. On what basis were we chosen, God crediting our faith in Christ as righteousness. -

2) Your claim basic grammar supports your view is utterly false.
3) We are chosen for salvation by the Spirit setting us apart in Christ based on God crediting our faith in Christ as righteousness.
4) We were chosen, from the beginning of the New Covenant through faith in the truth.
5) We are chosen through, or on the basis of our God accredited faith in Christ.
6) The "Gift of Faith" doctrine is bogus, without support in scripture.
7) We are chosen for salvation because God credits our faith as righteousness.
