You EARNED your salvation by accepting Christ????This is where Calvinists goes off into imaginative LaLa Land. To say that believing is "a work" is ridiculous because the entire New Testament differentiates between the two. Paul in Romans 4:5 writes:
"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness".
---worketh not, but believeth ---
Believing is not a work ---- nor is receiving ---- either scripturally or in the real world.

"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness". Where precisely does your faith come from? Answer that question honestly and you'll end up in La-La Land.

Are you claiming that you EARNED your salvation by believing?

Believing is not a work ---- nor is receiving ---- either scripturally or in the real world. Do believing and receiving involve a function of the will?
Is belief something you do? Is receiving something you do?

Believing is not a work ---- nor is receiving ---- either scripturally or in the real world. Lucifer BELIEVES in God, yet he is fallen. Belief without love of the Lord is nothing at all.
