Who will answer with a yes or no?

Thank you for answering with a No.

That answers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

I failed to construct questions 4 and 11 such that they could be answered with a yes or no.

Here are the rewrites to conform with the context.

4) Does "no man can say Jesus is Lord without the Holy Spirit" mean no one can verbalize those words? The answer is no, because no one can have Jesus as their Lord without being sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit.

11) Does "many are invited but few are chosen" suggest the few were chosen before they were invited? The answer is no, because the invitation is for the lost to put their faith in Christ, and that invitation constitutes being drawn (attracted) by the Father during our physical lifetime.

It is one or the other as they cannot mean the same thing when redemption is received the moment they believe and not before..



Thus by never having believed in Him is how they were not redeemed.

Not every sinner believes in Him at the time they heard the gospel as some will testify that later in life, they did come to & believe in Jesus Christ, and some will testify of the ones that did get saved on their deathbeds, and it would be hard to say they were saved and thus redeemed before they had believed.

Indeed, have you considered that some will take your meaning as an excuse to procrastinate?

2 Corinthians 6:1We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
Same thing, a person Christ died for is redeemed before they believe, or receive it by faith into their minds and heart.
