They did not believe in the WORKS!

25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me
They didnt believe in Jesus because they were not His Sheep which He died for. If Christ didnt die for one, they wont be given faith to believe in Him, because He didnt die for them

Jesus said they did not believe the WORKS He did were from the Father.
That verse does not lie.

You can't have faith until you first HEAR the Gospel
You cant hear the Gospel Spiritually without being born again, regenerated.

Jesus specifically said one must be of God to hear His words Jn 8:47

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

You cannot do God's works until you have Faith to believe and that comes ONLY by hearing the Gospel.

Romans 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ

They didnt believe in Jesus because they were not Sheep He died for Jn 10:26

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

Jesus works bear witness of Him

Sadly, it's not a biblical analogy. Again...going by a non-Calvinistic understanding of foreknowledge, didn't God know in eternity who would show up in court? So, what is logical about the Son dying for all those who He and his Father knew in eternity would not show up?

You should stick with scripture to make your analogies. Since you brought up the New Covenant, your analogy should be based on its promises contained in Jer 31 and Ezek 36.
Funny, but there isn't a single word of Scripture in your post. Therefore it is invalid.

I agree! You may hear it proclaimed, but it will have no effect without being born again, regenerated. (changed within)

There's NO Scripture that makes your claim
So this is the only TRUTH we have in the Bible

Correct, except a negative effect. God uses the Gospel to be a savor of death unto death for the non elect, that perish 2 Cor 2:14-16
14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

He designs for them to hear it, disobey it, reject it, so He can justly add to their condemnation

That was an entirely different non-Biblical thread. Why are you "comparing apples and oranges"? Just to be spiteful?

So nobody ever got saved by hearing the gospel? I guess that the apostles and those who followed, who proclaimed the message of salvation, were just wasting their time. :LOL:
