    1) Everyone believing into Him shall not perish. Here our belief exists before we are given to Christ. Note the verse does not say "everyone in Him shall believe, and not perish, but have eternal life.

    2) We are saved by grace "through" faith. That means God utilizes faith in some way to accomplish salvation. Not the other way around.

    3) Your faith has saved you is biblical, but your faith is provided by your salvation is no where to be found.

    4) God chooses for salvation through or by way of faith in the truth, again teaching God utilizes faith in some way to accomplish salvation.

    These four points demonstrate the Biblical doctrine that the lost believe before they are chosen and saved.God utilizes faith in some way to accomplish salvation.
