Christ saves rebellious sinners by convicting them of their sins by the Holy Spirit. Faith comes by hearing and believing the Gospel. If you want to be saved you must hear and believe the Gospel.
"So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (which is the Gospel) Romans 10:17.
Wrong on both points RP .
The word " believing " is a mistranslation .
And ,
The word " hearing " in Rom 10:17 is akoe in the Greek , a courtroom hearing .
So then Faith comes by " A " hearing , " A " hearing by the word of God , ( Jesus Christ ) .
We are the ones on trial not God and His Word .
But by all means , keep your deception growing .
