No such scripture.

Unbelievers HAVE TO believe to get saved.

And once the UNBELIEVERS Believe they are no longer UNBELIEVERS!!

Acceptance of the Trinity & Nicene Creed
Yes
There is no such scripture or teaching from God that says He saves unbelievers and causes them to believe without their knowing or wanting.

Faith is from God, from reading His powerful message, the Bible, the New Testament. It has the powerful message that saves. We do not get faith supernaturally, as many teach, but we get faith in a very human way, from reading the supernatural message!

Faith is from God, yes. Faith comes by hearing His word, yes. The Holy Spirit works faith in us. That's supernatural.

God does NOT regenerate us to have faith.

God regenerates those who have faith that is alive with repentance of sin.

You are missing the point.

We are NOT regenerated with the Holy Spirit so that we can believe.

We are regenerated with the Holy Spirit if we believe and repent of our sins and call on the Lord.

I have proven with scripture that we are given the Holy Spirit and regenerated AFTER we obey and believe.

I never said we were regenerated with the Holy Spirit so we can believe! If I did, I don't remember.

Were you born a believer? Or did you become a believer?
If you were not born a believer, and are a believer now, then God saved you as an unbeliever ! It's called logic

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

God does not regenerate unrepentant disbelievers.

I never said he does and you misunderstood me when I said that God saves only unbelievers.
You assume I meant no faith is necessary and that is incorrect.

How can you believe without having faith first that is given to you by God? Unbelievers don't believe in God. They can only believe when God gives them faith. Man can't save himself.

Faith and belief is the same thing; and, faith and belief come from hearing the message, being taught, persuaded, and convinced.

God regenerates us with the Holy Spirit after we believe in Jesus and repent of our sins through Jesus' shed blood on the cross.

This does not infer regeneration first then faith! You read into my words.

That is not truth.

If God only saves unbelievers---then that means no faith was necessary TO GET SAVED.

Other people here said it.

Then how do you think people get saved if they don't have to believe and obey first?!

No way is my argument circular.

YOU SAID God SAVES UNBELIEVERS.

Others here THAT AGREE WITH YOU AND WITH WHOM YOU AGREE SAY that God regenerates us first so that we can believe.

I prove with scripture that it is false.

Now EXPLAIN HOW WE ARE SAVED.
