I was thinking you were when you started running away from the scriptural foundation of faith not being a work!

Feel free to change your mind in accordance with the scripture of Romans 3:27-28!
Get back with me when you find and post a verse that says:

It is our responsibility to accept the righteousness of Christ by faith and wear those clothes!

It is in error to say God saves you, then you believe. That formulation has it backwards.

Acts 16:31

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

I Peter 1:9

… for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Romans 10:9,10

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Get back with me when you find and post a verse that says:
Instead of answering the question you now shift to something previous.

You truly have no answers to the bible, you just keep change the topic to a different verse.

No, stay on topic and answer the scripture. But with this thread as a clear demonstration to all onlookers, you just continue to demonstrate how Calvinism cannot hold to scripture and you must do everything you can to not face it!

Edit: Can you address these verses?!

I know you believe this first one:
And Jesus seeing their faith [the faith God gave them] said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”— Mark 2:5

Your view on faith makes Jesus statement here non-sensical.
And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God[Have God give you faith]. — Mark 11:22

Again your view makes God insane… Jesus wondering if He will find faith that only God can give? Crazy talk interpretation
I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith [that He has or has not given] on the earth?” — Luke 18:8

Perhaps the most damning verse against your view. Jesus is praying the the faith God gave them will not fail. Now Jesus doesn't trust that the faith God has given is strong enough to make it!
but I have prayed for you, that your faith [that God gave you] may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” — Luke 22:32
