13 verses that clearly indicate God bestows blessings such as salvation by way of our existing faith as credited by God.

 

Yet another obfuscation post to deny truth.

Here the claim is that that when faith is utilized to bestow grace, the faith does not exist. I kid you not...

Through faith or by way of faith requires existing faith.

 

Good grief, I know you are away of common grace that falls on everyone. Why deny the obvious with sheer denial of truth?

 

Note the use of the logical fallacy of personal incredulity. Common grace is common knowledge.

 

'Both Calvinists and Arminians generally accept the concept of common grace in that there are undeserved blessings which God extends to all humankind.' For anyone to claim Falselogy does not admit to "common grace" is to run from the actual doctrine.

Why do Falselogy advocates trample on the very word of God. God says He credits the faith of some as righteous faith. Romans 4:4-5 and Romans 4:23-25.

If you are unaware of the verse that says God "adopted" individuals before creation, you are not alone.
