Matthew 10:32 – therefore everyone who is not acknowledges me before others. I will also acknowledge him before my father in heaven.

James 1:12

Here is a collection of verses that clearly show that an individuals belief is the condition to salvation and that the order of salvation is belief first and then a person is saved and granted life.

Calvinism often teaches that , or that God must first regenerate, save, or give life to an individual and then they will believe.

This false understanding of salvation counters the clear teaching of scripture and goes against many verses.
