    !
    you read another of vans posts:laugh:

    Of course we are active in reception of the gospel! It is absolutely foolish to deny universal natural inability as Jesus plainly states the doctrine "NO MAN CAN come"! He is specifically speaking of universal ("No man") Inability ("can) because the only possible exception is not NATURAL but SUPERNATURAL - "except the Father" intervention.

    although generic faith is naturally inherent, saving faith is not naturally inherent for any fallen human - because if it were then Christ would never have said "NO MAN CAN COME TO ME" if all COULD come to him.

    yes..no matter how many times he repeats it:wavey:


    :laugh:...shocking!!!



    as coming is ACTIVE voice proving it is an action of the person coming. However, "arriving spiritually" into a STATE or CONDITION of "in Christ" is directly stated to be an CREATIVE act of God ("created in Christ Jesus" - Eph. 2:10) wherein we are PASSIVE.

    like some parrot on steroids....yes:laugh:

    Romans 8:11
    But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

    Are you not a teacher, and you don't know these things?
