God requires a person to repent and have faith in order to be saved. Neither is a work. Repentance is giving up every way to heaven that is not God’s way, and every morality that is not God’s morality. This is not works. We will not be perfect, but the heart must be in these dispositions. Faith is believing, accepting, and personalizing God’s salvation (as given in the Bible) in our hearts. Without that faith towards God, especially his salvation plan of Jesus dying on the cross, we are not saved.

This is not a work. A work is something that we have confidence in (faith) that will make us acceptable in God’s sight. A true Christian believes that Jesus completed the work of salvation and the “works” involved in salvation is 100% what Jesus did on the cross. Our faith is just that, a belief and confidence in something to get salvation.

You say we do not share in salvation. Your statement is a lie of Calvinism, which is a false system. We do participate in salvation. How can there be any other way? Your statement is just wrong we do “participate” in salvation. Salvation is only given on the basis or condition of faith in Jesus Christ. Calvinism and other heresies put regeneration before salvation to make the work “100%” of God. This is totally unbiblical and done to try to defend Calvinism somehow someway when the Bible doesn’t present things this way.

can a person who is dead in his sin repent before God…… if so then he has share in the salvation of God……… which is totally false and non-biblical……..

Can you indicate within one of his books where you discern this position or statement of Best? Please qualify your comments above. One thing is that my review of Best is not accurate as to what Best believed, and another thing is that I don’t understand Scripture in your opinion. Please back up both with evidence.
