    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill ! 2

    The all is limited obviously to the all who become believers. The Sheep. Are all men without exception His Sheep ? No off course not. Jesus told us plainly who He died for in Jn 10:11,15 so the all pertains to His Sheep So everytime you say Im teaching universalism its your dishonesty and deceit.

    @Silverhair No I didnt, this is something found in the reading. Man cant comprehend the Light, it agrees with Paul as well 1 Cor 2:14 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually...

    @cjab Thats foolish talk, its called comparing spiritual things with spiritual 1 Cor 2 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill ! 2

    Men by nature cant comprehend the Light, Its written Jn 1:5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and...

    Believing for the sake of Christ ! Phil 1:29 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, All those who shall believe on Christ as a result of Salvation, it is because it has been granted/given to them to do so. The reason...

    Also the word draw means to impel inwardly metaphorically, to draw by inward power, lead, impel: John 6:44 (so in Greek also; as ἐπιθυμίας ... ἑλκουσης ἐπί ἡδονάς, Plato, Phaedr., p. 238 a.; ὑπό τῆς ἡδονῆς ἑλκόμενοι, Aelian h. a. 6, 31; likewise 4 Macc. 14:13; 15:8...

    Gods power causes them to believe, its like His power in saying, let there be light. Thats an effectual work. When God commanded it be light in Gen 1:3 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Could light refuse to obey Gods command ? Likewise God commands the light of the...

    I'm doing both. I started the topic BTW and I have went into details explaining it. Drawing is Salvation being applied to the elect child of grace or Sheep of Christ.

    The drawing saves them and gives them faith, persuasion. Faith is being persuaded, its made of the word peithō: persuade to persuade, i.e. to induce one by words to believe to make friends of, to win one's favour, gain one's good will, or to seek to win one, strive to please one to...

    Drawing is an inward powerful work of God, its not just hearing the Gospel, God shines the light of the Gospel into the heart 2 Cor 4:6 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the [Gospel]light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the...

    Jesus said some will not come to Him Jn 5:40 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. The reason for that is simple, they have not been given to Christ by the Father in Divine Election, because Jesus went on to say Jn 6:37 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and...
