Sorry, but the above sentiment is untrue. Salvation is 100% God. And later we will see by Scripture that faith comes from God, not "us".
Salvation is not a cooperative effort, that if you do your part, God will do His. Note 1 Corinthians 1:25ff. The above teaching is Pelagian error and is frankly boasting, which is excluded.
Sorry again, salvation is not by choice, nor does it come through choice. Decisional regeneration is a recent invention of C. G. Finney, Robert Sandeman and other false teachers. Many are deceived by it, and popishly guaranteed heaven because of some one time decision.
THAT is not the test! The test is for evidence of conversion, not "one day long ago
I decided..." No! It is based on what Christ has done, not self, and ALL converted are transformed and bear fruit, 1 Corinthians 3:17ff; Hebrews 12:14.
There was an excellent treatment of this error by Dr. Erwin Lutzer on his recent sermons via
www.bottradionetwork.com. He was spot on and exposed this deceptive error.
Better than that, the Scriptures are clear that salvation isn't by man's choice; John 1:13, Romans 9:16; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:1; 1 Peter 1:3. Faith, again, is not an inherent ability or source, it is external, coming from Christ, Acts 3:16; Romans 10:17; and Ephesians 1:19 which shows that we only believe by the same power that raised Christ from the dead, and that is certainly not some inherent ability or source.
I know the decisional salvation error is popular, but it is a denial of the truth of Scripture.
Now, let the attacks begin.
