Lots of good stuff here! I understand God accepts us, we do not accept Him. I understand the entire world," the field" has been bought by the work of Christ, the sacrifice of the perfect life of Christ. So the sins of the entire world are covered, past present, and future. But, that Grace...

Answering this question. If I were fulfilling any work, and asking myself if it were good enough, that would fall under a work of self will. And self will perfecting would be trying to fulfill the law and as such would be trying to replace or better the finished work of Christ, or Grace. I...

Well since I answered your question, could you answer the one I asked? At the very beginning, when we are called by the Father to Christ, do we have the Spirit of Christ yet?

Ok, got it. I understand " the works " in Ephesians 2:9 to be works of the law, or an attempt to fulfill the law with an additional perfect life,done by one's own will. But that doesn't mean that "Faith"as it relates to the living God doesn't include work and effort, courage and endurance.

Ya , I didn't follow the question on 126. Could you rephrase?

Do you agree that when we are called by the Father to Christ, we do not have the Spirit of Christ yet? The very beginning?

How do you understand the salvation process?

Even " believing" is a concious decision that takes courage and effort, right? Isn't that work?

When it says, " not by works ", is it talking about works of the law? Or is there no work involved in following Christ?

What's your understanding of NT saving Faith, or saving pisteuo?

Sounds good.

Tomorrow, I'm tired! What time is best for you?

I thought I was.

Not feeling like waiting for even a possibility of knowing Christ better? That's not a good sign! Your not ready.

Let pick it up tomorrow. What's a good time for you?

At the point the Father is drawing or calling us to Christ, we do not have the Spirit of Christ residing in us yet. Correct?

Ok , at the start of the salvation journey we are drawn or called by The Father to Christ. Agree?

We could go through the Salvation journey, step by step. That way I could highlight the points I'm attempting to make. Are you willing to do that?

Your not understanding! NT saving Faith is a Continually surrendered life. Period!

The words believe, believer, and believing are mistranslations of the Greek word pisteuo. The English language doesn't have a corresponding verb to the noun Faith like the Greek does. So pisteuo couldn't be correctly translated into the English language. This is how your understanding was formed.
