Hearing preceded repenting toward God; Repentance precedes listening; listening precedes believing; believing precedes justification; justification precedes the new heart; the new heart is where the Holy Spirit comes to dwell.
37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

Why does "nearly all possess hearing physically" imply that there must be a spiritual hearing being spoken of? And not everyone has it.
"Everyone who has boarding tickets to board flight NZ 3631, let them board now at gate 7'" Obviously, there are those who have boarding passes for flight NZ 3631 who do not board. Since nearly all people in the Gate 7 waiting area have boarding passes to flight NZ 3631, the announcer must be speaking of spiritual boarding passes.
No. she's talking about physical boarding passes, saying "If you have them, use them now." There are no spiritual boarding passes.
No engagement with the argument, I see.
