I’m just half Of a “ Twerp”, I suppose .....I Believe the Blood covers all sins....just not the sins of any Fallen Angels— including Satan....
Keep Sinning and shafting people, maybe even become a Communist as all are saved ye. Hitler was saved as well by your account.

Yes it ensures they receive when God gives !
Nope. It is up to the choice of the person to whom the gift is given to either receive or reject that gift.

Do you mean to tell me that you did not receive the gift that God gave to you?

Of course you did; if you are indeed saved.

If you didn't receive the gift of salvation then I have a scripture for you...2 Corinthians 13:5...for you indeed fail the test that that verse tells you to take if you have not ever received the gift of salvation.

No sir, If God gives it, its automatically received.

I judge your doctrine as I'm supposed to do. 1 Jn 4:1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world
I am not afraid for you to judge my doctrine; I confess wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.

Now some might say that the verse Acts 5:31 doesn't say anything about Christ the Savior giving Faith, but only Repentance to Israel [Gods Elect People]. Thats no problem however because Gospel evangelical repentance contains faith, for this repentance acknowledges, embraces the Truth 2 Tim 2:25

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth

Notice that the word give here is the same word give in Acts 5:31 when its stated God gives repentance to Israel, but here in the 2 Tim 2:25 verse repentance is clarified in that it gives the acknowledging of the Truth.

I Titus 1:1 its recognized as the Faith of Gods Elect

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

So contrary to what mans religion teaches, that faith and repentance are conditions men perform in order to get justified or righteous before God, they are gracious gifts given by the Savior when He saves them, wherein they evidence Christ has saved them !4b
