I'm just really puzzled on this because i read what Paul wrote in Romans 10:
"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard?"
Hearing requires understanding. Christ said "he who has ears, let him hear."
I am seriously open to anything that might change my mind(if it is biblical). Don't think I've closed the door, I just need a better understanding of this. |
Simply put this would be called, "by ordinary means," but we hold that God is free to work above, and even contrary to the ordinary prescribed means we are to follow. Thus no limit is placed upon God, so He is free to work when and where He wills. How do any of us know we will get to heaven? It is by promise. We believe the promise, and that promise is for us and our children (Acts 2:39, 1 Cor 7:14) So we do not focus upon our measure of faith, but upon the faithfulness of God to keep His promise.
