Synergism ignores the person and work of the Holy Spirit, because it is a dead belief system! Once dead, always dead, how can you boast in death! Titus 3:4-7


Synergism ignores the person and work of the Holy Spirit, because it is a dead belief system! Once dead, always dead, how can you boast in death!
Titus 3:4-7
4But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
How can you surrender to Jesus if you are dead to Christ and your will is in bondage to sin and death! You need to be made alive to Christ in order to surrender to Jesus Christ!
Synergistic belief system is an excuse for self boasting and confidence in the dead bound will of the sin cursed self.
Once dead, always Dead! The will cannot choose to Believe!
Once Made Alive, always Alive! The will is set free and given faith to believe by the Regenerating power of the Holy Spirit; God is then Glorified and magnified in Salvation as confidence in self-sufficiency is put to death, to be always dead, indeed!
Synergistic belief system nicely sets aside and ignores the Person, power and work of the Holy Spirit; synergism suppresses the truth of the Holy Spirit's power and work of Regeneration, who alone makes alive and He gives faith to Believe on Jesus. Synergism places confidence in a sadly mistaken belief, that it is up to your choice and free will to choose to believe and receive Jesus for Salvation. Synergism excludes the person and work of the Holy Spirit in salvation who alone makes Alive to believe for Salvation. Synergism does not give credit to the Holy Spirit, it credits the deluded will of man in bondage to sin. Such a will in that status and condition is not set free to believe of its own--for a will in bondage, remains in bondage and will never choose to believe on Jesus, let alone surrender to self-centered boasting to seek hard after God. It is Dead!
But God! ...who is rich in Mercy makes Alive, by His miraculous power of the Holy Spirit even when being dead in trespasses and sins!
Ephesians 2:4-9
4Butc God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Once made Alive by the Holy Spirit, there is no more cause for boasting in self, for no one can choose to believe of their own free will in exclusion to the person, work, will and power of the Holy Spirit, who alone regenerates and makes alive to believe. How can you magnify a deluded teaching that misleads many into thinking you have free will, when in truth, the will is in bondage and cannot believe on Christ of its own volition. You need to be Born-Again of the new nature of Christ Jesus by regeneration of the Holy Spirit! Such a condition of change is a Miraculous work of the Holy Spirit to make alive, when once fully dead! Hence, the Sovereign Grace of God is solely magnified and glorified in Salvation! Sola-Dei-Gloria!
