The New birth comes after hearing/believing the gospel

[TomL]

I agree with scripture you haven't showed me anything contrary to my beliefs

Actually, you disagree with scripture, and I have posted many verses showing such.

This makes as much sense as ‘white means white as well’!

One always compares scripture with scripture…but one also always begins with the specific language and grammar used in the text, and the context in which it is written.

I didn’t say it is necessarily, but more often than not it is! Gal 2:15-16 is very black and white!

But you simply just deny it

Actually I agree with the scriptures

No one believes your claim.


Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,



Rom 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.


Gal 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.


Rom 10:9–10 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.


Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.


Rom 3:24–25 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;


Gal 3:8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”


Rom 3:26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus


Rom 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

Scripture is its own best interpreter.

When you understand what is being said, yes! Gal 2:15-16 proves your assertions wrong. Faith precedes and results in justification, which results in being born again.
