I was certainly lost, that was until God decided to give me the gift of Faith and I became Born Again of imperishable seed.

Now I am not lost and never will be ever again.

So those that aren't saved.... aren't save because God decided to NOT give them the gift of faith???


I never said this that you say in your post, so please go back and carefully read my post.
I gave my testimony...you twisted my words sadly, to say exactly what “you” believed it to be saying...you do know our minds need renewing once we become Born Again don’t you?
Gods word tells us exactly how we are Born Again of imperishable seed?

We are Born Again like the wind?

My question was related to the implication posed in your statement.

You said... "God decided to give me the gift of Faith"

Does this means those that are not born again, aren't saved because "God decided to NOT give them the gift of Faith"?

How can we be saved if we aren’t Born Again..we are Born Again then we are saved from from eternal damnation..the two are in harmony with each other.

You're missing the point of the question... I'm not saying one can be saved without being born again.

I asking if God is deciding who gets born again and who does not?

He gives the gift of faith to those he wants to get saved... and decides to NOT give the gift of faith those those He does NOT want to get saved?

I asked this because some believe God does not want everyone to be saved... you know, just calvinists! laughing.gif

I don’t hold to calvinists..i spoke my testimony and belief on how I was Born Again by the Spirit of God which is like the wind...

That’s what his word says..

God sees beginning to end doesn’t he?

God knows who will become Born Again, do you agree with that.. @Big Boy Johnson ?

Of course He knows all things.

But, He's not the reason that some don't get born again as some claim people don't get saved because God decided to NOT give them the gift of faith.... as though it's God's fault that some don't get born again.

We all have much more to learn... but we should all know the basic
foundational truths as they are already in God's written Word.
