I haven't misread anything, Tom I corrected a grammatical book that's almost 100 years old.
You corrected a grammar book?
that is laughable as you know nothing about Greek
You could not even read Robertson grammar correctly
He refuted you
For by grace (τῃ γαρ χαριτι [tēi gar chariti]). Explanatory reason. “By the grace” already mentioned in verse 5 and so with the article. Through faith (δια πιστεως [dia pisteōs]). This phrase he adds in repeating what he said in verse 5 to make it plainer. “
Grace” is God’s part, “faith” ours. And that (και τουτο [kai touto]). Neuter, not feminine ταυτη [tautē], and so refers not to πιστις [pistis] (feminine) or to χαρις [charis] (feminine also), but to the act of being saved by grace conditioned on
faith on our part. Paul shows that salvation does not have its source (ἐξ ὑμων [ex humōn], out of you) in men, but from God. Besides, it is God’s gift (δωρον [dōron]) and not the result of our work.
A.T. Robertson, Word Pictures in the New Testament (Nashville, TN: Broadman Press, 1933), Eph 2:8.
Is is so plain that it is absolutely ridiculous you imagine otherwise
You have clearly misread his comment as not only does he state faith is our part twice but he also states faith is the gift
No Howie you explained nothing he refuted you

Even Stevie wonder could have read the quote better than you did
MacArthur minored Greek. Did you?
Minored ?
LoL
Robertson is an expert source and he refutes you though a Calvinist
these other Greek scholars as well
The same thing with you other Calvinist source
Greek scholars
The words, “through faith” speak of the instrument or means whereby the sinner avails himself of this salvation which God offers him in pure grace
Kenneth S. Wuest, Wuest’s Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: For the English Reader (vol. 4; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1997), 69.
Quoting Alford
Alford says: “It (the salvation) has been effected by grace and apprehended by faith.” The word “that” is touto (τουτο), “this,” a demonstrative pronoun in the neuter gender. The Greek word “faith” is feminine in gender and therefore touto (τουτο) could not refer to “faith.” It refers to the general idea of salvation in the immediate context.
The translation reads, “and this not out from you as a source, of God (it is) the gift.” That is, salvation is a gift of God. It does not find its source in man

Vincent
For by grace, etc. This may truly be called exceeding riches of grace, for ye are saved by grace. Grace has the article, the grace of God, in vv. 5, 7.
And that. Not faith, but the salvation.
Marvin Richardson Vincent, Word Studies in the New Testament (vol. 3; New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1887), 376.
But above all scripture refuted you
Scripture refuted you as well
1 Salvation is the gift
Romans 6:23 (ESV) — 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Faith is man's responsibility
Acts 16:30–31 (ESV) — 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
In the face of those two verses of scripture opinions of Calvinist theologians are not worth a hilh of beans
I know,Tom, only your sources should be believed. Got it.
Wake up noted experts of whom Macarthur is not in a league with state otherwise
but above all scripture refutes you
1 Salvation is the gift
Romans 6:23 (ESV) — 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I agree.
I disagree with that and explained why.
He said, shooting his quoted authorities, and their assertions, through the heart.
I'll save that quote from you, Tom and respobd with it in the future everytime you appeal to Calvinist authorities. ?
Save it all you like
Why do you pretend to hold to sola scriptura if you will not heed its word above all else
Sorry Howie your argument is quite enemic.
