What percentage God, what percentage Man, in salvation?

Question

- All God's choice (Calvinism), 100% God, 0% Man
- All Man's choice (Pelagianism), 0% God, 100% Man
- Both cooperating (Arminianism), 50% God, 50% Man

Where do you fit in with your beliefs?

Answer 1

ALL GOD NO MAN NO WORKS

Answer 2

my belief isn't mathematical.

100% God
25% man.

cuz God has made that 100% chance to say "yes, I want mankind to be saved. I've provided the way, all man has to do is accept My Son Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives and come to know me"

all man (both genders) has to do is...
believe God exists (not a god, just GOD) which makes up 5% of the effort
believe that He is the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and that Jesus Christ (the Son) was God in the flesh come to die for your sins so that you can be saved (from sin and the second death), which makes up 15%
accept Him for real and allow God to help them repent = 5%

repenting isn't sayiny sorry. It's saying sorry and changing, even if it's rough.

Answer 3

For no possible say Jeus is Lord different than by ability of the Holy Spirit, who searches each and every thing, even the depths of God.. no one comprehends the throught of God different than the Spirit of God. a million Corthinthians 12:3 whilst Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God, Jesus declared to him that this revelation did no longer come 'from flesh and blood, yet from 'my Father who's in heaven." Matthew sixteen:17, Mathew 11:25

Answer 4

Salvation is 100% God. Accepting that salvation is 100% you.

Answer 5

God gives the soul 100% good seed of eternal life.
Man is 100% responsible for its planting.

Answer 6

Even before He put us in our mother's womb - God knew us completely. He chose us - that is what the Bible says.

But we still have to past the test of Obedience, and failing it can cause us to be separated eternally from God's presence.

Whatever the Standard we must achieve for Salvation, we must seek God first.

Answer 7

God alone is the source of salvation, which is freely offered to all mankind. But to receive that free gift, we must accept it. Not to accept it is to reject it. The Bible makes it clear that we accept the gift of salvation through (1) faith, and (2) living as though we have faith. Simply believing is not sufficient.
.

Answer 8

Salvation is like a wrapped gift, it has always been in front of us...we just have to decide to unwrap it


To eds....no wonder people think we Christians are too preachy...oh boy! Stop with the scripture quotes and KISS

Answer 9

-(Realism) 1% God and 99% man, as it is for the man to do what is necessary of its salvation and it is up to God to honor it.

Answer 10

I am a true Christian. ALL GOD's WORD and only HIS WORD counts. To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great week.
