The Ken KJV:

Psalm 110:3 Thy people shall be ((made)) willing ((by Thee)) in the day of Thy power.

What power of God do you think is being referred to in that verse?

It says, willing...in the day of....Thy power.

Therefore, God's power has something to do with someone being willing.

In context, what is the verse before it talking about?

Edit: and are they willing because they recognize His power or because He makes them be willing?

But what I have said and the bible is clear about is that God saves those that believe in His risen son.

And every single person that the Holy Spirit regenerates under the hearing of the gospel of Christ show the fruit of that regeneration through faith in the finished work of Christ on their behalf and through repentance of dead works.

If we do not fulfill God's condition for salvation then we will not be saved.

And Christ fulfilled every condition necessary for the salvation of God's elect. And they will be saved, they will believe and repent, because the Holy Spirit regenerates them under the hearing of the gospel of Christ, and grants faith and repentance as fruit of that regeneration.

No it is a false teaching that Augustine brought into the church in the 4th century

You are wrong. The gospel of Christ is not some false teaching that Augustine brought into the church.

The gospel of Christ is God's power unto salvation. (Romans 1:16-17)

God's power, not man's power.

Ken at the end of the day it comes down to were you saved because you are one of the elect or because you freely trusted in God's risen son.

God brought me under the hearing of the gospel of Christ, the Holy Spirit regenerated me, and He granted me the gifts of faith in Christ's finished work and repentance of dead works.

I believed and repented by God's power, not by some power that I somehow or other welled up from within my fallen fleshly body.

Christ being King. The elect in their flesh are enemies of Christ before they are regenerated (Ephesians 2:1-7), yet Christ rules over them, and makes them willing by His power.
