Do you believe that “Saving Faith” is the one part of salvation that is produced by man alone and that it is not a gift of God?
If you believe Jesus accomplishes the exact same for ALL, and nothing more, this would mean that people, who end up in heaven, are not there because of what Jesus did... because... he accomplished the exact same, and nothing less, for those who end up in hell!
This would mean that those who are in heaven are there because of something other than what Jesus accomplished!
If this is true then Jesus only saves those who save themselves first! This would mean you are saved by “something other than Jesus”... if you end up in heaven!
If you say that “Saving Faith” is not a gift of God then you necessarily turn faith into a work that merits salvation!
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
Calvinists are the only ones who can consistently say that Jesus Christ alone saves from beginning to end!
