All Men Have Not Faith
2 Thessalonians 3:2 ... for all men have not faith.
Since the Bible tells us "all men have NOT faith" – how is it that so many churches and pastors and theologians teach that man is saved by his own faith? Obviously they are all wrong and teaching a lie. The truth is that those men (God's elect) who are saved by faith – are saved by the faith of Christ and not their own (because they have none):
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ,...
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
Notice that Ephesians 2:8 tells us that the faith which saved us is NOT of ourselves. Of course, we know the reason why it is not of ourselves – it is because "all men have not faith.”
