This is what I believe were the order of events of my Salvation.
I was spiritually dead.
I heard the Gospel. My faith given to me by God was “activated” upon hearing it. With that faith I confessed with my mouth and believed in my heart.

I was born again, a NEW creation in Jesus Christ.

No labels. No fancy doctrines. Just that.

I find this interesting..I didn’t hear anything..I repented and irresistible received..the Holy Spirit into my Spirit...completely and utterly unexpected.....

Sorry it’s about me again....I read a lot about being led astray..how on earth can I be led astray,when the Holy Spirit resides in my heart?

I have been born again for 28 yrs...no one has ever led me astray....it sounds ridiculous,I don’t understand it....just saying like.

You do believe you were chosen/predestined without a choice correct?

Don’t forget ole Pelagius way back in the 300’s, the OG free will’er. If you read some of his teachings it seems he knew that man could not have faith unto salvation in his current state so instead of accepting the biblical doctrine of election he chose to deny the imputation Adam’s sin. At least he realized the doctrine of free will does not work with the doctrine of the fall of man. 🤦‍♂️
These modern day Pelagians/Arminians just scream WHOSOEVER, ALL MEN... with complete disregard for the tsunami of destruction it creates to other doctrines such as the fall, the atonement, grace...
Error refuting error .... that is all you have displayed.

I did not come to the Lord through the bible..I was saved before I read any bible..once I was saved God led me to scripture....my saving was completely unexpected......

I was taught the bible at school,heard of Jesus..so I guess I must have believed he once existed.

That is my personal testimony.

Yes,I believe that for myself....most definitely...God’s will drew me to him...it was his will not mine.

For me it’s all about God’s will...his will...will be done,nothing can stop it.

His will is coming to pass as I speak...all fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Israel stopped his will He wanted to gather them like a mother hen under his wings but they were not willing

Luke 13:34 (NKJV): O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!

He will not force people against their will. He will instead set his will aside and let them suffer in their own sin if they so desire

Ok then forgive me I thought you were more fatalistic View than this. I confess I assumed wrong

Still Confused about the faith part But acknowledge I may never understand
Nothing to forgive brother. So many of us are on the same team, yet we all seem to forget that.

We MUST remember that absolutely NONE of us, except maybe Paul, has everything right.

It’s contending for the simple Gospel that our collective focus should be.

True

But when people Call One group out and will not call others out Because they believe as you do. It appears
To be taking sides.
If a person is Not willing to call their own out when they sin they should Not call others out either
I hope you understand why I would think this way sis.

So Adam did Not have a choice

God forced him And his wife to eat if the forbidden fruit and cause all the pain and suffering this world has gone through since that time

That is sad that you think this
Straw man 🤦‍♂️

This is Sunday school stuff bud, Adam had free will with one limitation, don’t eat from the tree, he chose poorly and his sin is imputed to all men after causing us to all be guilty. However, God in his mercy chooses to save some by grace, the divine influence upon the heart...
