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.

From some things we can save ourselves but what we cannot do is resurrect ourselves.

Salvation begins with circumcising your heart, and keeping the commandments of God. The Bible tells you this .

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.

More nonsense from the nonsensical.

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.

That sounds like an act to me (despite it being wrong).

And who do you imagine it is who SINCERELY believes that they can save themselves? Or is this yet another of your straw men?

Sounds like a works based salvation that you’re teaching

Amen. We don't even know what tomorrow holds.

Huh, I thought it began with recognizing Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Why is Ryan's thinking so...man centered?

Maybe before that. Just admitting you’re not as good as you like to think. Then you find out the good news!

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.

Then you’re works based salvation. Catholics believed that God is the first mover.

Lie. It begins with your Faith in Jesus.

Okay - but do you know what Christ taught for eternal life? Why can’t you answer this??

You are so full of pride, you are far from salvation.

Salvation begins with admitting that Jesus did not give you authority over his church. Mt 18:17 - if he refuses to listen even to the Church...

God cannot save you against your will though, my friend. This would be violence.

Salvation begins with the Holy Spirit moving us through grace toward faith, repentance, and union with Christ.

Salvation begins with baptism… Jesus said be baptized with water and the holy spirit…. John..3:5

So accepting Christ had nothing to do with your own fee will then? You do talk a load of nonsense.

Does one HAVE to do that?

Save from what?

So I have to do something to be saved?

Also the humility to admit that you are not an infallible interpreter of scriptures.

That’s been true ever since Adam and Eve hid in the Garden clothed in leaves…
