Could you give me the scripture that says exactly that?
You do not need scripture. Try the dictionary.

What do you mean by receiving Gods grace through unmerited favour? I've never seen that I'm the Bible either. It says that through faith we are saved by the grace of God. We must have believing faith in God.

You do not preach from the scriptures when you say unmerited favor.
Give the scripture for what you claim.
If you do not preach what the scriptures say, then it is not from God.
Grace is God's unmerited favor.

Those are words from man, not from God.
So we can't know truth outside of the Bible?
I.E. Without the Bible we can't know that 2 + 2 = 4?

In other words, can man not come up with truth on his own?

And what is "believing faith"? I'll bet it's what you do.
If you don't receive it as a gift, you don't receive it at all.

Are you kidding? What we believe and teach must come from the written word.

If you make up things outside of the Bible, you NULLIFY God's words.
Acts 5:29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings!
Acts 1711 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Mark 7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."

Everyone receives a measure of faith. It matters what you do with it that determines if you will get more faith, or have your faith taken away.

If it is not from the Bible, then I am not going to believe what you say.
You don't believe the bible anyway so what's the difference.
Grace,” according to the dictionary, is the unmerited favor of God toward mankind. The word “grace” is used over 170 times in the New Testament alone. Grace is not bought. It is a free gift of almighty God to needy mankind. When I picture Jesus Christ dying on the cross, I see the free gift of God’s grace in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. I sing with the songwriter, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.” Your human mind, with its philosophy of an equal return for favors done, can hardly comprehend the full meaning of this grace of God. But when you catch, by the inspiration of God, its full meaning, you will leave the limits of human reasoning and revel in the spiritual riches of divine truth and privilege.
Yes, the grace of God is a reality. Thousands have tried, tested, and proved that it is more than a cold creed, a docile doctrine, or a tedious theory. The grace of God has been tested in the crucible of human experience, and has been found to be more than an equal for the problems and sins of humanity.

I didn't see not one scripture in your post and your defense.
Don't need one. Common sense, of which you have none, rules.

Common sense is to have someone prove what they say is scripture, and you cannot.
