"Works Salvation"

[Jim]

I've always believed we are all born with a measure of faith.

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Romans 10:17 does produce faith, and it is rhema, the spoken word of God.

If you read and study that entire passage, you will understand that the subject being addressed there is the gifts of grace. It is the gifts that are given in proportion to our faith. It is not faith that is being given; rather it is the gifts that are being given. Our faith is used as the measure for assigning, i.e., giving, those gifts.
