Differing signals: Attempting to determine exactly ‘how’ salvation is granted…

Just say it:

“[W]hosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21 (AKJV)

But then again…

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;”

Matthew 7:21 (AKJV)

Just kidding, it’s actually up to God…

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”

Acts 2:39 (AKJV)
