If anyone is saved it is because only God saves anyone. Nobody can pull themselves up by the bootstraps around God. God calls preachers to preach the gospel that in turn creates faith of the dead alien sinner whom God says can believe and obey. John 5:24-25 Jesus says: verily verily he that
heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” The day is coming and now is when the( Spiritual) dead (not literal) will hear my voice and they will live (future tense regeneration did not precede faith) Then they get to be in the physical resurrection later in John 5.
In being lifted up on the cross Jesus Draws all men by the gospel
Preached that the calvinist bypasses.The phrase” Before the founding of the world” is the time of Abraham to Moses before the first covenant and those names were added before the founding of the world of the lamb before the foundation of the world. But how?
Hebrews 11:40 (KJV)
“God having provided some better thing for us, (New Covenant believers) that they( Abraham before the Covenant and into the first Covenant) without us should not be made perfect.”
This is the closing verse of the “Hall of Faith” chapter in Hebrews.
