This comes from a person that loves The Canons of Dort!
The activity of the Holy Spirit in a person's life is now not considered supernatural?
Weird. But totally not surprising given who says such a thing.
Romans 8:7a, Galatians 5:17, John 1:5, John 14:17 ~ The mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. The flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. Darkness does not comprehend the Light. The world cannot receive the Spirit of Truth, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.

And what is your evidence that "God doesn't require us to use of the ability to believe He gave us to use, and we used as children" ?
I'm not following. How is your belief after being drawn to Him "evidence that God doesn't require us to use of the ability to believe He gave us to use, and we used as children" ? Or how is your belief after being drawn to Him "evidence that God has to some degree restored your ABILITY to believe" ?

It's in/by means of grace ("chariti": dative case). Everything occurs in/by means of God's grace. The believing of a hindu child is in God's grace and by means of God's grace. Not everything that happens in grace, by means of grace, is God's will.

Many are those here who believe the corrupt heart of the natural man can bring forth good fruit
even though Jesus said it was not possible. According to them, the lover of darkness, who can neither
receive nor comprehend the spiritual things of God while a slave to sin and suppressing the truth
in unrighteousness, makes a decision to believe that which is foolishness to them. Ta da! They are saved.
