All I am doing is holding you to the truth of Scripture and shining a light on the error of your dogma.
Nope. You project onto me the error of your dogma.
Again, since
1) Romans 3:22 clearly states righteousness is through faith; and
2) Romans 3:24 clearly states we are justified freely by God's grace; then
3) It is error on your part to conclude that faith is a "work" on the part of man
Please follow Scripture ... let go of the error contained in your dogma.
Romans 3:
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Intentionally obtuse. You continue to steer the discussion to your "talking points" rather than address the issue raised:
Please focus on the issue:
Let me make this simpler for you:
If
1) faith is fruit of the Spirit; and
2) a person must be born again of Holy Spirit in order to have Faith; then
3) in your scenario, the person is born again before he/she believes the gospel by which he/she is born again.
There is only one faith, brightfame52.
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
The faith the hindu utilizes to believe in brahma is the same faith the born again one utilizes to believe the gospel of Christ (which is the power of God unto salvation).
The issue is in Whom do you have faith?
The more you believe a lie, the worse it is for you.

If "Faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22" and a person must be born again of Holy Spirit in order to have "Faith" which "is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22", you've got a person born again in order to have the "Faith" which "is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22" which allows the person to believe the gospel in order to be born again. You've got the cart before the horse.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
So do all human beings have Faith the fruit of the Spirit ? Lol, You are a joke. Does the demons have Faith, they believe James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Is the devils faith to believe in God the same Faith given to the saints in Rom 12:3 ?
Is it the same Faith of Eph 4:5
