    He ONLY convicts and enables those to whom salvation was provided and paid for!

    So in Acts when it stated that the Holy Spirit opened Mind of Lydia in Acts 16:14, was wrong?

    No . God chooses the requirements and allows them the choice to respond to the invitation.

    Well it would be a strange requirement to give colourblind people and then hold them accountable for not using the right pen .

    Belief requires a change of mind, John 5:24.
    It is by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. The false teachers deny.

    7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

    8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

    9Of sin, because they believe not on me ;

    10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

    11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

    I passage I quote a lot! The Holy Spirit does indeed convict the world, because they do not believe in Jesus as their personal Saviour. But, we are also told in Acts 7:51, "You stiff-neckedg and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you." In the context of salvation, we see that the Holy Spirit' conviction can be resisted.

    Not sure I'm following you. So, for example, if someone preached repent and believe the gospel, would that person be a false teacher, not preaching faith alone?

    Sigh...
    You force God to live on your timeline.
    God knows "his own" from before the foundation of the world. In the timeline of men, that earthly moment of redemption may be anywhere along the timeline of men, but that doesn't mean God failed to know who "his own" were until the human knew.
    God has always known "his own."

    Do you have a verse that seems to imply that God doesn't know his children until they act in a way that clues God in to their belief?
