Why do all hear the same gospel where some simply believe without choosing to? Or others hear it as law and turn it into works, while others reject it?Paul speaks of "hearing with faith" (ESV), other translations say "believing what you heard" (NIV). Although a message is implicit Paul does not speak of this "word" and his focus is on the hearer and then believer. Your version removes the focus from "hearer" and places it on the parts unwritten and not focused on calling it the Spirit. What gives you such liberties to pry open scripture and say "what he really meant was..."
I know you have an allergy to all things remotely similar to pentecostalism and so defend only polar reverse but eventually, it starts sounding like the bias.
