You need to explain how that one who is lost has the ability to believe the gospel. Paul says the lost have the Gospel concealed from them. That word hid in the original is kalyptōand means:
to hide, veil
- to hinder the knowledge of a thing
Not only that the word is in the perfect tense denoting that its a complted action from the past with results into the present. So as long as a person is in a lost state the Gospel is hidden , they wont be able to come into the knowledge of the truth.
"... I have my own private opinion that there is no such a thing as
preaching Christ and him crucified, unless you preach what now-a-days is
called Calvinism. I have my own ideas, and those I always state boldly. It is
a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else."

Because the gospel comes in power and in the Holy Spirit (1 Thess.1:5). Sinners who believe are regenerated or born again by the gospel:
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God...And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you" (1 Pet.1:23,25).

I actually believe that the Lord Jesus was made like His brethren IN ALL THINGS because that is what we read at Hebrews 2:17. But you refute what is so plain in the Scriptures because you put more faith in what some people say about the Scriptures than you do in what the Scriptures actually say.
