Hearing and believing the Gospel which is Spiritual, can only be done by those who have Spiritual Life.
The hearing ear is given Prov. 20:12; John 3:27 to those who have been Born of God the Spirit.
John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Because Spiritual hearing comes by having Life, we know that the faith referred to in Rom 10:17,
cannot come to a spiritually dead man because he cannot hear God's Word which is Spiritual.
See how fruitless the works of man in the flesh is Rom 8:8, in his attempt to attain Salvation?
The works he does by his own freewill are just filthy rags in God's sight Is 64:6!
But all those God has ordained / appointed unto eternal Life Acts 13:48 will believe
because it is given them John 3:27 to believe on Him Phil. 1:29!

You want to believe that God creates reprobates so that he can send them to hell.
This is why you don't have saving faith.
It is not possible to believe such things about God and be saved.
You believe that he is a mean, unjust, unmerciful, unrighteous tyrant.

Right,
He is there validating obedience to church discipline.
Ya' might wanna review the context of that passage Pate.
No doubt about it. You are very religious.
No, speaking the truth about your Calvinist God.

Why,
Is it a uniquely "religious" trait to consider context when quoting scripture?
:think:
Those who have faith in Christ are no longer required to live according to laws and rules, because, "The Just Shall Live By Faith" and not according to laws, rules or religion.

And those who are in the flesh are free from the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1-3
To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the Gospel and justification by faith.

You don't believe the Gospel, so what does that tell you?

Yes, yes
Just as easily as the leper can decide to be cleansed and the blind man of His own free will can see, and when the Son of God shall cry with the voice of an archangel Pate will spring from his grave of his own free will.
If you were a leper and you heard that Christ was cleansing leprosy, then it is leprosy, not your free will that will bring you.

Those whom Christ took stripes for are healed Spiritually 1 Pet 2:24
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
