The gift is salvation - not the faith. The faith is our response to that salvation/gift offered and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Either you
haven't read brother Steve Rich's (Stvvv1611) 7 excellent posts (32 type written pages!) on the subject of "
faith"; or you have chosen to
ignore them; or you
disagree with them - in which case your responses to them have been weak, deficient, and inadequate.

"I know when to not get involved in endless debates by someone who is more stuck on their theories than the truth. I quoted Galatians because it clearly stated Abraham believed the Gospel. There is only one Gospel of salvation. If you don't believe that, you need to go back and reread Galatians 1. Anyone believes any other gospel, and they are damned."

Great - maybe a bit more studying in the Word of God will show you where you are wrong. All the best.

You may dismiss his many Scriptural points with a "cutesy" offhand remark, but unless you "refute" them (point by point) with Scripture, your "reasoning" is totally insufficient and can be dismissed as without merit.
Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
I have been busy - but I promise I shall have more to say on this subject.
