Does God Need Your Permission in Order to Save You?

[jimmyjimmy]

It's a simple question, which requires a simple, Yes or No, answer.

No , it is a stacked question.
"Does God force a person to be saved?".....yes or no? Just as stacked as that question is.....

One No vote.

Or how about: Did God create the angels to serve him?....yes or no?

One No vote.

So, are you agreeing that God does not choose for you?

Please stay on topic. Thank you.

Please stay on topic. Thank you.

Just because it is a difficult question does not mean it is not
on topic....

You seem confused. If the question is not one you wish to answer, or you aren't able to maintain self-control by sticking with the subject at hand, I would ask a favor of you: please move on.

Thankfully, the answer is No.

Thankfully, the answer is No.

Thanks be to God! He saved a wretched enemy combatant like me — without my permission.

Yes.

God's permission slip is displayed openly when recieving baptism. Is that symbolic or is salvation a product of baptism? Yes to both, seen and unseen.

 

[jimmyjimmy]

Yes.

Then you are god.

 

[friend of]

If the question is "can God's salvation be rejected" then I'd have to say yes.

Yep. I’m thankful for a changed heart. My heart of stone would have continued in rebellion.

 

[thecolorsblend]

Then you are god.

Not really tho.

What about the OP? That's what we are discussing here.

 

[jimmyjimmy]

Not really tho.

Exactly.

 

[thecolorsblend]

Exactly.

I'm glad we agree that I'm not God.

We still cooperate in our salvation though.
