"It is that some of these may be saved through the working of God's grace, though intellectual facts about Jesus may not be known to one's mind. Can you see the difference?"

What I see is one who would deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

Look again. "Through the working of God's grace" means because of the work of Jesus the Christ.

Do you believe children/infants and the mentally handicapped are destined for hell because they can not intellectualize a belief in the substitutionary atonement of Christ?

Don't you believe God is sovereign and He can save whom He pleases?

I believe God is sovereign and He can save whom He pleases

Except

He does that through His word. Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Harley, the "word of God" is Jesus, not the Bible. Common mistake.

I believe it is God's business who He chooses to save. I don't make the decision. You don't. And neither does the Church no matter how many doctrines and creeds we write.

No mistake. Faith comes from HEARING and HEARING from the WORD OF GOD.

The word of God kept on spreading and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith. Acts 8:7

My, my one could only hope. ;O)

Apology accepted.
