28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Rom. 8:28–30.
Yep. Exactly
This destroys your false belief in Romans 10:9-10 as a formula for salvation.
Nope.
we are indeed called.
we are invited to turn to YHVH from our sin, and place our trust in Jesus.
but, you keep making it clear that non Hebrew Gentiles only exist to stoke the fires of hell.
so, you've literally excluded yourself from being taken seriously as either a teacher or a preacher of the Bible and gospel of Jesus.
God does the calling, not man.
yep.
No one can tell the Holy Spirit to baptize them into the body of Christ.
yet according to Acts 10, the Holy Spirit did indeed baptize Cornelius and his household into the body of Christ, which was a complete and total surprise to the Jewish believers who came with Peter.
God does the electing and at the appointed time when a person is to be saved the Spirit FALLS upon them.
Apparently, he chooses non-Hebrew Gentiles to be saved too!
There is no "confessing" in salvation.
that's not what i read.

Rom 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Those that are born again in the bible were first in covenant with God. Beginning with Abraham to Moses to Christ.
so you think that Jesus needed to be born again?
what do you think the new birth is?
Those in covenant that were celebrating the Feast of Harvest were pricked in the mind about this Jesus of Nazareth.
so you don't actually know Jesus?
Those that were born-again that day were in covenant with God to begin with.
now you're wandering
And by being in covenant with God these were also promised God's Spirit. Joel prophesied that God would give His Spirit to Israel.
Yep.
There is no Scripture that says God promised His Spirit to Gentiles.
Peter recognized otherwise.
you should read Acts 10.
Act 10: 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word. 45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter,
because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.” 48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Scripture cannot be broken.
Nope! It sure can't.
Yet you're telling us that non-Hebrew Gentiles cannot be saved.
I'd say that makes you a completely unreliable source of biblical truth.
As long as a person was the seed of Abraham, they were heirs according to the promise. This is why Saul said:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Gal. 4:4–5.
It's ironic that you keep talking about a guy who died, and was raised to new life in Christ and was renamed Paul, as though Saul was still living.
Salvation is of the Jews - NOT Gentiles.
OF is different from FOR, also....
I never said salvation is OF the Gentiles.
salvati is FOR everyone who turns to YHVH from their sin and places their trust in Jesus Christ.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth
the adoption,
and the glory,
and the covenants,
and the giving of the law,
and the service of God,
and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers,
and of whom as concerning the flesh
Christ came,
who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom. 9:4–5.
Never said otherwise.
Romans 9:4-5 is inclusive of what salvation is and TO WHOM it was promised. Salvation is OF THE JEWS (through Abraham.)
I'm not seeing where OF means FOR....
