From God come our opportunities to grow our faith, he has given everyone a 'measure of faith,' the Lord leads our individual 'walks,' croners, and, yes, the Spirit, leads, too . :)
does a unbeliever have faith ?

As a Calvinist .... a very reluctant one at that...I just want to say I am absolutley ...100% confused ...as to why God would choose me?
He would not chose you because of anything IN you or anything that you positively did. If chosen, you were just as much lost and dead in your trespasses and sins as the pagan world when He quickened you.
Ps.33

[10] The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
[11] The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD: and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Explain 'it' ALL away, croners, don't worry, we keep posting said Truthe s, and, you're (and jimdig's and enochson and tunixblue,etc. Calvinistics) hooved feet will soon not be running others (and.yourselves) over 'salvation-lost' cliffs (read Pilgrim's Progress?)
I'm glad to know that you believe Calvinists are of the devil.

Just a cent: for me posters like these are since long into the iggy bin.
It takes me awhile. I find it funny that he refers to John Bunyan's book, Pilgrim's Progress. Bunyan was Calvinist. Reformed Baptist specifically.

Yeah. Isn't that funny? We have all these anti-calvinists here and there who seem to spend as much time (or more) refuting and countering calvinism as they are promoting their own doctrine. But many times these same people will speak big worlds of appreciation for people like Bunyan, Spurgeon or Edwards or whatever is their calvinist favorite (knowingly or not). Then you would quote these same people that they praise and show that they indeed were decidedly and committed - calvinists - that would have disagreed with their own views had they met them. I find it hypocritical.

Why doest thou persecute me , do you believe in the almighty living God , jimdig?

I have,never, NEVER, just in case you didn't hear me the first time, said anything against you as being Hitler, so, calling me a Nazi is a ridiculous accusation.

You believe, croners believers, bluetunic believes, Mecca believes, that ONLY a few are selected to Heaven, and, it absolutely IS a 'master race' doctrine every bit as sickening (to me) as Hitler'exclusivity religion that made Germans superior to all other races.

Sorry, you have to result your distinction in insults, and, I believe it is wrong to teach this false doctrine, for it makes others feel not good enough to get into Heaven, which is not the message you want to send when Christ says that 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' ROM. 10:13

Croners, I lost respect for you tonight, just so you know, I didn't think you would ridicule me and turn your cheek to jimdig's immature level :(

And, so you know, what was an attack on my saying you are leading people to 'salvation lost' cliff ? No attack, what, suddenly since you get in a pack with another wolf, you decide to 'herd?' Pathetic and not what Jesus would do. Good thing you can ask forgiveness when your tongue wickedly leads you . Amazing how, isn't it, from the same member that praises the Lord can come insults and remarks akin to Nazistic reference accusation. :(

Try harder, guys, to please Jesus. :)
