Since every man living on earth is not converted - as if their conversion were a finished act - and those who are called by God to a life of faith are in a process of converting that lasts all their earthly life it follows that your question doesn't make much practical sense. No man living on...
How long is Donald Trump going be president? I've seen at least ten presidents of the USA myself. How can you deal with Trump and get so serious about that, when the man isn't even gonna be there when you get yourself sorted out?
What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God? The answer is to adhere to God himself, entrusting yourself to God and assenting to all that God reveals because God is Truth.
Do you also think it means to believe in one God in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? I do.
How does man respond to God who reveals himself? Enabled by divine grace, we respond to God with obedience and faith, which means full surrender of ourselves to God and acceptance of the truth revealed by God because God is Truth itself.
Bob Dylan's song. I like it. What do you think.

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown
They'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you

In the Bible, the word “call” is used most often to refer to God's initiative to bring people to Christ and to participate in his redemptive work in the world. This sense of calling is especially prominent in the letters of Paul, whether or not the word “call” is actually used.
Romans 1:6...
The key to understanding the meaning of Lent is simple: Baptism. Preparation for Baptism and for renewing baptismal commitment lies at the heart of the season. Since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has reemphasised the baptismal character of Lent, especially through the restoration of the...

Consider how great things He hath done for you. I Sam. 12:24
Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness to humble the, and to prove the, to know what was in thine heart whether thou wouldest keep his...
Hymn
Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky,
Heav’n thunders forth its victor cry:
The glad earth shouts her triumph high,
And groaning hell makes wild reply.
While he, the King of sovereign might,
Treads down death’s strength in death’s despite,
And trampling hell by victor’s right,
Brings...
Breathe in and breathe out. You’ll take thousands of breaths like that today yet hardly realize it.*
Breathing is automatic, a barely noticeable rhythm that’s tied directly to your survival. As you pull air into your lungs, your heart beats and pumps through your veins with life-giving...
I cannot agree with your theological assumptions. No one is saved by decisions nor in an instant but every one is saved by grace and everyone who will be saved does make decisions to follow Jesus. The theological assumptions your posts make are tied to teaching that salvation is an instantaneous...
I do not know what you mean. I live my faith because I want to be with God. I do not see any contradiction between loving God and wanting to be with God, do you?
I agree with you that making a decision to follow Jesus does not abrogate grace as the effective cause of a person's final salvation - making decisions is a grace given to human beings by God anyway just as life and breath are gifts of God's grace. Since every good gift is from God James 1:17...
