I agree 100 percent my friend. I did not enter the thread on Calvinism, that doctrine denies what the Scriptures teach clearly: We voluntarily make the decision to believe or not believe. Our minds and flesh receives not the things of God, but when we believe, he makes the things of the Spirit real, he gives us the discernment to know what is spiritual, and I thank Him daily for that faith, that imputed faith and imputed righteousness.

Grace and peace.
