How do the scriptures say we become converted? ( taken from LOF Part 15-B)
Romans 2:4 or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 12:3 ...and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Ephesians 2:8-10 v8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God: v9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. v10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
LOF Part 15-B is about free will, which we do not have.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
I was reading over this LOF Part 15-B again today and just thought I would share this.
