So, on the one hand, there are those who see their faith in Christ as actively making them "just" in God's eyes ( they are credited with eternal life because they believed on Him ) and then there are those who ( like me ) see that the reason that they believe, is because God caused them to ( Psalm 65:4 ).

Do you know any Calvinists who took a while, some years, after hearing The Gospel to make a decision.

You believed the first time you sat in a pew and heard The Word?

Well that's merely a Calvinistic assertion where you say he enables one to respond. What you're not saying is that he equally doesn't grant every member of humanity the same ability or gives them just as much a chance which I say he does.

Faith is never described as a gift in scripture but faith in God is a result of hearing the gospel. Then one chooses to accept the gospel to believe or reject it. That is God's design.

It doesn't it says that faith comes from hearing the gospel, it also says that the gospel is the power unto salvation.

Romans 10:17, and the Gospel is indeed the power of salvation unto those whom God has granted to them ears to hear it!

Passage is written to Christians at the church of Corinth. If we take your interpretation of this passage not all Christians at Corinth were gifted with faith.

Just another example of forcing theology onto scripture.
