Exactly. Thank you.As was noted The verse notes the grounds upon which men may be made righteous
It does not speak of the conditions by which men may be made righteous

Personal faith? I am unfamiliar with that phrase Biblically. Where do I find said phrase in scripture?which is faith
Galatians 2:16 (KJV 1900) — 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
No one is justified apart from personal faith
It is simply a notation that one must have faith to be justifiedPersonal faith? I am unfamiliar with that phrase Biblically. Where do I find said phrase in scripture?
Seeing it's in the Bible they can't do anything about it but I imagine if Calvinists could be in the times of the early church they would run up quick and tell Paul not to tell the man he needs to believe on the Lord for it comes across too much as something the man needed to do. Say rather Paul, Nothing. You don't do anything to be saved. If you do anything to be saved you're into works!So how can faith not be of yourself as per
Acts 16:30–31 (KJV 1900) — 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Luke 7:50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”Personal faith? I am unfamiliar with that phrase Biblically. Where do I find said phrase in scripture?
Actively do not passively receiveSeeing it's in the Bible they can't do anything about it but I imagine if Calvinists could be in the times of the early church they would run up quick and tell Paul not to tell the man he needs to believe on the Lord for it comes across too much as something the man needed to do. Say rather Paul, Nothing. You don't do anything to be saved. If you do anything to be saved you're into works!
A Calvinist might say to Paul just put it as a question...."Do you have the faith of Jesus Christ? (in other words has God put it in you) Then you ARE saved then!
But Paul used believe which is a verb. Which means something you do.
Absolutely. Once it is gifted it is my faith for sure. AmenLuke 7:50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Or they might suggest that Paul writes something like: "Stay Inert, Do Nothing, and Wait for the Zapping".Seeing it's in the Bible they can't do anything about it but I imagine if Calvinists could be in the times of the early church they would run up quick and tell Paul not to tell the man he needs to believe on the Lord for it comes across too much as something the man needed to do.

I don't know what personal faith is but other than I agree with you. We are justified by faith.It is simply a notation that one must have faith to be justified
Galatians 2:16 (KJV 1900) — 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
No one is justified apart from personal faith
Nowhere do we read faith is infused or effectually causedAbsolutely. Once it is gifted it is my faith for sure. Amen
Again it is simply faith one possessesI don't know what personal faith is but other than I agree with you. We are justified by faith.
Good. No one teaches that.Nowhere do we read faith is infused or effectually caused
Called out of the grave like lazarusOr they might suggest that Paul writes something like: "Stay Inert, Do Nothing, and Wait for the Zapping".
Are you now familiar with Personal Faith? It is dynamic and grows with us. It is not a fully developed zapped faith that we first receive.Absolutely. Once it is gifted it is my faith for sure. Amen
I guess if you make up a phrase your entitled to make up the definition.Again it is simply faith one possesses
We are justified by the faith we have in Christ
No. LOL no such phrase exists on scripture.Are you now familiar with Personal Faith?
Are you now familiar with Personal Faith?
Not trueGood. No one teaches that.
It is however effectually caused. God is the cause of your faith. Ezekiel 36.
