Not yet, but I pray that someday I might.When it comes to belief unto salvation, one either believes or they don't. There is no trying to believe.
To believe is to have faith, and faith is "to know, agree and wilfully trust in something or someone.
1 John 3:23
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
Do you believe this?
So, according to you if someone is not saved (because of unbelief) it's not sin?it depends on how the term "unbelief" is understood according to the corresponding context, the unbelief of a worshiper is a sin if it consists in some misbelief, in all other cases the unbelief is not a sin
If you don't believe, who do you pray to? Do you know God does not hear the prayers of an unbeliever?Not yet, but I pray that someday I might.
So what should I do, then, if not pray? I can't choose to believe, so it seems that asking for God to send me faith is my best optionIf you don't believe, who do you pray to? Do you know God does not hear the prayers of an unbeliever?
Repent and believe.So what should I do, then, if not pray? I can't choose to believe, so it seems that asking for God to send me faith is my best option
How do I believe if I can't just choose to?Repent and believe.
The bible commands to repent and believe.How do I believe if I can't just choose to?
The closest I can say is I'm wrestling with the faith, and maybe waiting on the Holy Spirit.The bible commands to repent and believe.
Faith is a gift of God's grace and is supernatural and miraculous.
Perhaps you do have faith but your being taught something which is not scriptural?
If you have faith it is a sure sign the Holy Spirit is upon you, and therefore rejoice!
Likewise if you are wrestling with the faith, that is good too. It is a sign of God's grace to you.
If your truly wrestling, that is good. It is only because of God's grace to you.The closest I can say is I'm wrestling with the faith, and maybe waiting on the Holy Spirit.
The question is, is unbelief a sin?
The closest I can say is I'm wrestling with the faith, and maybe waiting on the Holy Spirit.
So, your answer is??Well, if God predestined it, then no! Or does predestine sin ?
So, if one is wrestling, he's not dead in trespasses and sins?Wrestling is better than being "dead in your trespasses and sins",(Eph 2:1).
What is he wrestling with if he is dead and unable to perceive ?So, if one is wrestling, he's not dead in trespasses and sins?
Good question answerWhat is he wrestling with if he is dead and unable to perceive ?
So your answer to the op is, "no."Predestination.
Amen!There can be a misguided notion that man is morally neutral. The misconception is that unregenerate man is standing in a place that has not demonstrated belief or unbelief; however, the Bible allows for no such person or position. One who's faith is not in God, is in sin.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:18)
