Believing Into Christ based on God crediting your faith as righteousness

Once again you claim to be a mind reader, but ignore my post.

Here, again is what I asked:
I wonder if you deny it is God alone who decides whether a person's belief should be credited as righteousness, and on that basis to transfer the individual into Christ, or whether you believe if a person puts their faith in Christ, they are automatically saved?

Did you answer the question? Did you address the basis for the Father postionally sanctifying the person into Christ. Nope, but you ask me if I read. :)

What did you miss VAN.

Your question; Did you address the basis for the Father postionally sanctifying the person into Christ.

The answer that you have missed;
We believe in Christ
then we are positionally sanctified within Christ
by the Father.

What did you miss in that sentence VAN?

So I ask again can you/do you read?

If God credits your faith as righteousness and on that basis transfers you spiritually into Christ, then you have "believed into Him."
lol

Do you like making things up?

Abraham believed God And God took this act of Abraham trusting God and accounted his faith as righteousness.

Abraham Believed God.. Abraham did not believe into God. this is nonsensical.




Claiming you cannot make sense of this view is nonsensical. :)
:rolleyes:

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 WPNT
13 Now we are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you into salvation, through sanctification of spirit and belief in truth, 14 to which He called you through our gospel, so as to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

From the beginning - of the New Covenant.

through sanctification of spirit - being set apart spiritually, into Christ's spiritual body.

and belief in the truth - God crediting our faith as righteousness

When we are chosen into salvation, we are chosen by being transferred into Christ on the basis of our faith being credited by God as righteousness.
Jesus used the serpent in the wilderness as an example

Just as moses lifted the serpent.

did those who trust God and looked believe into live?

or were they saved because they had faith and looked?
