Sheer unbiblical nonsense, so just a wordy obfuscation post.
1) We have access to the grace in which we stand "by faith." Therefore we had faith which was utilized by God in bestowing salvation.
2) If, in God's view, we believe in Him who justifies the ungodly, then God will count (reckon, credit) as righteousness
3) whom God predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ, He called (transferred to within Christ's spiritual body), where he or she was justified by the washing of regeneration and also glorified as a sibling of Christ, blameless and holy..
4) Yes trusting in the promises is the deep conviction of faith.
5) Abraham was not given an understanding of the gospel during his physical lifetime. He trusted in God's promises.
Rom 4:20-22
yet,
with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,
and being fully assured that what
God had promised, He was able also to perform.
Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
