Pate, your understanding of the scriptures is darkened because of the blindness of your heart; alienated from the life of God Eph. 4:18; void of spiritual life.
Saving Faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal. 5:22 given by God to all His Elect, Christ's Sheep He gave His Life for John 10:11, 15, when they experience the New Birth; when they are Born of God.
John 8:47
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
It's only when a person is Born of God are they made able to "hear" God's Words, the Gospel of their Salvation.
So, if one never experiences New Birth in their lifetime, they were never Saved and Called according to God's Purpose and Grace in Christ before the World began 2 Tim. 1:9!

I was saved and received the Holy Spirit by hearing and believing the Gospel. The same way that thousand of Jews were saved on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:41, Acts 4:4.
There is no other way that you or anyone can be saved. God does not just zapp people with the Holy Spirit.

So your testimony is that which you boast how you were saved by your own works of the flesh!
Eph. 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Call it zap if you will, ["Used to indicate a sudden occurrence"] but know this, God is the First Cause of Giving Spiritual Life exclusively to all His Elect Chosen in Christ Eph. 1:4-5 and Saved before the World began 2 Tim. 1:9!

John Calvin is the only person to have ever made a thoroughly imbuing, harmonious theology with 'Justification by Faith' it's central virtue.
People just make things up with their unfounded disdain, being nothing more than misconception and prejudice. 'Anti-Reformed' is like a religion in and of itself. Do they actually do anything else-
MADists, do you do anything other than find ways to detach yourself from orthodox Christianity? :chuckle:

Predestination cancels out justification by faith. Justification by faith means that you have been justified by Christ.
If you believe that you have been predestinated, then there is no need to be justified by faith.
