False, then that would be the obedience of two and contradict Rom 5:19

Here is a scripture 1 Pet 1:2,22-23 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth...

Salvation does not come because of any man’s attempts at obedience, but only through the obedience of One: Jesus Christ: “…by the obedience of One shall many be made Righteous” (Rom. 5:19).

Only those Jesus saves can and will obey. Obedience is part of the gift of salvation.

Aint too much you can say to refute it

Thats not the Gospel. See 1 Cor 15:1-4 to see what they preached as the Gospel, the Gospel tells of what Christ has done and accomplished to save His People from their sins.

Only those God saves obeys the Gospel.

Yet believing is a work, its something you do. The distinction is only valid when you dont turn believing into a condition for salvation, the contrast is valid when believing is by grace and is a evidence of salvation.

All Gods Elect and the non elect are by nature spiritually dead, dead in sin Eph 2:1,5; Col 2:13. This means that all men naturally are living without spiritual life and alienated from God. Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance...

That Call cant be resisted Rom 8:28-30 ; 2 Tim 1:9

Its there, you cant comprehend it

@bdavidc No the call for salvation is never resisted, and its solely to the elect. Rom 8:28-30 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be...

Start from the op and then onward.

Faith/Believing is a work, for believing is something you do, which springs from faith. Now the question is whether you do that work as a natural man from the flesh, or a saved spiritual man by the power of grace and the spirit.

A person dead in trespasses and sin cannot come to Christ because he does not have the will to come, nor can he hear the Word of God John 5:40; 8:43 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.3

Spiritual nature as well

@bdavidc Sure it is

@DJT_47 Things you do, actions, obedience etc The greek word ergon means: Work, deed, action, task, labor 2041 érgon (from ergō, "to work, accomplish") – a work or worker who accomplishes something. 2041 /érgon ("work") is a deed (action) that carries out (completes) an inner desire...

False teaching

Its teaching salvation by works. Believing on Christ in Acts 8 gave evidence the Ethiopian was saved by Christ, and then he was obedient to water baptism another evidence he was saved. Good works come after salvation, after one is a saved new creation Eph 2:8-10 8 For by grace are ye saved...
