Repentance, belief.....WORKS of righteousness....so there you go, can't find even four verses where salvation is all the righteous work of God, none of man, can you ?
CORPSES get cut to the heart ? come on, even you don't believe that, do ya ?
Remember Ephesians 2 where Paul said to the Ephesians that God MADE THEM ALIVE (quickened) who were DEAD in trespasses and sin ?
So the dead, a corpse, can't be "cut to the heart"....
LIFE precedes action....Peter's words hit them hard with guilt because they were already made alive by the Holy Spirit.
There it is....another DO this....
Monergism is the term used by man, and a correct one, too, where glory for the eternal salvation of God's elect is God's alone, the Triune God.....the Father chose based on His foreknowledge, the Spirit sanctified, and the Son sprinkled with His blood the Father's elect and the Spirit's sanctified...1 Peter 1:2
Sovereign Electing Grace is a doctrine from heaven, taught by the Father to the Son, delivered by the Son to His disciples, and it is the doctrine practiced by the TRUE New Testament Church, it is.
Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “
In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and
they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
6 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it. (Jonah 3)
Firstly, God says to Jonah, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me" (1:3). Jonah, being the original "Calvinist", refused to go and preach to these "wicked" people, as they were not Jews, and therefore, not part of the "elect". God, Who is not a "Calvinist", and Greatly Loves the entire human race, disagred with Jonah, and made sure that he did go back with the Gospel of their salvation. When these wicked people heard the GOOD NEWS, they BELIEVED GOD, which is
THEIR FAITH. Then they showed their sorrow for their wicked ways, by proclaiming a fast, and putting on sackcloth, and cired out mightly to God for His GRACE, and repented of their sins. In verse 10, it says, that "God saw their
WORKS", not to "merit" their salvation, but, "that they turned from their evil way", which is what REPERNTANCE is about!
WHY would God desire the salvation of these WICKED, non-Jewish, non-elect people???
Simple, because the "Reformed" teaching is WRONG!
You talk about "corpses being dead", if you read your Bible more, and not the nonsense that "reformed theology" spouts, you just might learn!
In John chapter 5, we read of Jesus Christ and some Jews who took offense at His healing on the Sabbath Day. They wanted to murder Him for this, as well as Jesus' making Himself equal to God (verses 17-18). To these very Jews, who wanted to murder Jesus, He says:
"Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live" (24-25)
Clearly these Jews who wanted to murder Jesus, for whom there is no evidence that they were ever saved. Jesus says thay they could HEAR His Words and BELIEVE! They can't be DEAD as the "reformed" teach, as they were capable of HEARING and BELIEVING!
Jesus goes on to tell these Jews
"But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However,
I say these things that you may be saved" (verse 34)
Jesus clearly desired their SALVATION!
Jesus then says to them
"“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. Yet
you will not come to me, that you may have life" (39-40).
Jesus does not say that they COULD NOT come, as though some external force was preventing them; but, literally, "you REFUSE to come", for what? "that YOU may have eternal life"! TOTALLY AGAINST the false teaching of the "reformed"!
