But, you CAN reject God's salvation for you. Think of what Jesus did to the tree that bore no fruit. You can look up a Bible online for free if you don't own one.
Mark 8:35 " whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it."
1 Tim 4:16 "For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee."
James 5:20 "He must know that he who causes a sinner to be converted from error shall save his soul"
Then salvation begins with this thing that YOU do: "admitting you cannot save yourself."
And it is false that you don't save yourself. YOU must believe. YOU must be baptized. YOU must keep the commandments. Even the gift of faith involves your cooperation.
salivation begins with God granting grace to show His people that they cannot save themselves because they are born spiritually dead, cursed, slaves to sin and Satan, being his children taken captive by him to do his evil will.
Drivel. Salvation is an idea invented by a religion to act as an antidote to the hell that they invented for those who wouldn't otherwise believe in their religion. None of it exists. It's all man made.
So you would agree that salvation is a process right? If there's a "beginning" to salvation then that means theres more to follow. Everything that follows means you have to work.
It's astonishing that you contradict the heresy that you espouse and you don't even realize it.
