I don’t respond to leading questions from Arminianists or Open Theists. That would be foolish. It’s prudent merely to state doctrine by scriptural support and expository in defense of compatibilism, which is what I advocate.

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.​

Again, according to Matthew 16-26 and other texts, election precedes belief; God saves us and helps our belief.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
