You just nullified grace and made it merited action.Yes, salvation is by grace, which is unmerited favor.
And yes, it was given to us to choose to believe & be saved.

God chose us
That is your opinion.My opinion is you have the theological acumen of a paramecium.This is just one more thing you're wrong on, out of the many you've been wrong on in this board.
I believe SCRIPTURE over any person.I believe your comment is completely backwards.
You wrote:
Most have to come to faith in order to be elect.
Notice, it is not just me. You have been addressed by a number of people.
So the ultimate basis of salvation is our free will choice, and not the will of God?You just nullified grace and made it merited action.
LOL, no hint? Context shows I am correct. Let's look at the whole.
Revelation 3:14-22
“Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s new creation: “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
How you can say there is "no hint" that Revelation 3:20 is written to lukewarm Christians is either blatant ignorance or pure laziness on your part.
roby, you need to pay attention to the folks here who are correcting you with scripture. At present you have an understanding of God's saving grace that is not taught within the scope of the Bible.
Not at all. God made all eligible for salvation.You just nullified grace and made it merited action.
Of course you do, since I don't agree with your hooey, & have proven it wrong on other threads.That is your opinion.My opinion is you have the theological acumen of a paramecium.
Did God the father intend to save all by the Cross of Christ?Not at all. God made all eligible for salvation.
Your statement is and has been demonstrated to be false.I believe SCRIPTURE over any person.
The ultimate basis is God choosing before the foundation of the world. God wrote us into the New Covenant.So the ultimate basis of salvation is our free will choice, and not the will of God?
robycop, I provided scripture...and now you utterly toss it away to double down on your own opinion.There are no classes of Christians, as Scripture says, and only ONE way of salvation. If Jesus knocked at a Laodicean's door, He knocks at Americans' doors in the same manner.
Honestly, I am convinced you do not even know what you wrote and how your statement nullified grace. At this point you are just making it up as you go along.Not at all. God made all eligible for salvation.
As many as would believe.Did God the father intend to save all by the Cross of Christ?
I showed you otherwise, but you choose to place man-made doctrine above Scriptural truth.Your statement is and has been demonstrated to be false.
Whatever you believe, it is not supported by the Bible.
Jesus didn't say, "Behold, I stand at a Laodicean's door..." or "at an elect's door". He said "THE door", tyhat is, everyone's.robycop, I provided scripture...and now you utterly toss it away to double down on your own opinion.
No one can counsel you when you openly refuse scripture.
Tell us the name of someone who was born predestinated for hell, with no chance for redemption.Honestly, I am convinced you do not even know what you wrote and how your statement nullified grace. At this point you are just making it up as you go along.
Tell us the name of someone who was born predestinated for hell, with no chance for redemption.
