for dead people dont raise themselves from the dead. Dead people cant believe in Jesus Eph 2:5God does when they believe

and you are still contradicted by scripture
Acts 10:43 (KJV 1900) — 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
Were dead in sins is in the present tense occurring at that time, its during that time Gods Grace quickened, made alive, that's effectual grace,
Hence they believe by Grace Eph 2:8; Acts 18:27
Also the quicked while dead in sins, have been forgiven of all sins, while dead in sins Col 2:13
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Their forgiveness isn't based upon anything they did[they were dead in sin], but their forgiveness formed the basis for being quickened
