It is the witness of the Holy Spirit in the human heart to the word they are hearing that brings one to faith.

We presume if we expect the Holy Spirit to witness to what is not the word of God.

I do not dismiss the Holy Spirit's role in bringing us toward God's will through Christ, that will have us regard scriptures that are made available to us. But who knows when it is the Holy Spirit? There are those saying what the Holy Spirit says to them, but in going apart from God's will, going apart from what Christ our Lord says, it really is not the Holy Spirit, who, as God with the heavenly Father and Christ who is the incarnation of the Word, Logos, who is with God and is God, is never not in full agreement with either. Believers who really are in Christ still have testimony that is meant to be shared to others.

That's God's problem, not ours, and he will judge us accordingly.

The only thing I think was hard for God was in having Jesus Christ come among us for everything to restore us who were fallen and lost. I am not sure what the purpose of the argument with me is. I wasn't wrong, and I haven't been saying you are wrong. Those not in Christ will be judged, believers, who are in Christ, do not bear judgment from God that Christ did bear for us, but there are consequences still that result, sins are what we should turn from, repentance being real, and believers can be wrong, often they are, saying what they do about what is true, those things should be corrected, God can do so, God may use any from among us in that, or just use other ways. Some things remain that we will not learn in this life that we must come to know afterward, but knowing to be restored to God through Christ is definitely a thing for us to know in this life, and we should know that, and we can tell others. It is not wrong to do so.
