Faith is a natural human attribute that we are all born with. One would not be able to function in life without faith. As children we have faith in our parents. This same faith is activated when we hear about Christ and his Gospel. We hear, we believe and by faith we embrace Christ and his Gospel and are saved, Romans 10:17.

Things were different under the law than they are under grace.
Under grace Paul said, "The Just Shall live By Faith" Romans 1:17.
Was righteous Abel under law or under grace?
Abel believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness, just like Abraham. All who believed God in the Old Testament were justified by faith.
OK, they were saved by grace through faith like everyone else.
Why didn't you say so.

Lying, Faith is the fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22!

Faith is only given to those that hear and believe the Gospel.
"So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10:17. (which is the Gospel).
You are so easy to refute.

Of course you call it false, even though there is scripture.
If you confessed that it was true your Calvinist god would be very unhappy with you.

Yes its false. Faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
You don't have the Spirit of Christ because you don't believe his Gospel. You believe the Gospel of a heretic.

You attribute to the flesh of man that which God credits the Spirit with, Faith Gal 5:22 !
Paul was just repeating what was said by Habakkuk in the OLD TESTAMENT and under law.
The whole world is under law. Only the redeemed and regenerate are under grace.
Only those that embrace Christ and his Gospel will be saved. In the Gospel of Christ, Jesus justifies, sanctifies and redeems those that believe that he has fulfilled the law on their behalf and has atoned for their sins.
There you go again, just like a parrot repeating words, with no understanding.
What is it that you don't understand?
