THE FACTS
"Any religion, which claims that salvation depends upon man to make a decision to accept salvation, is preaching a god who cannot save and they are not preaching man as he is either. Scripture declares God to be sovereign, doing His good will without ever consulting man, saving whom He will, when He will (Daniel 4:35, Romans 9:15). Scripture also declares man to be incapable of deciding to do anything holy or right because all men died spiritually when Adam fell (Romans 4:12).
Dead men cannot decide to do anything because they are dead. The only thing a dead man can do is stink. So if scripture is true, man is completely dependent on God to save us. Man is the one who is waiting on God not the other way around. "So then, it is not of him that willeth, or of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy" (Romans 8:16).
