He uses his own intellect. He chooses to believe; believes on the Son
Furthermore this statement confirms that you believe in Salvation by Works , which is another subject. That man is saved by using his own intellect. The word works is the greek word ergon and means:
business, employment, that which any one is occupied
a) that which one undertakes to do, enterprise, undertaking
2) any product whatever, any thing accomplished by hand, art, industry,
or mind
3) an act, deed, thing done: the idea of working is emphasised in opp. to that which is less than work
The word mind means:
(in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc.: the processes of the human mind.
2.
Psychology . the totality of conscious and unconscious mental processes and activities.
3.
intellect or understanding, as distinguished from the faculties of feeling and willing; intelligence.
The greek word nous means:
the mind, comprising alike the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining
a)
the intellectual faculty, the understanding
b) reason in the narrower sense, as the capacity for spiritual truth, the higher powers of the soul, the faculty of perceiving divine things, of recognising goodness and of hating evil
c) the power of considering and judging soberly, calmly and impartially
2) a particular mode of thinking and judging, i.e thoughts, feelings, purposes, desires
So you boast of salvation by ones intellect. This is more Blasphemy and Apostacy you promote !
