"The PRC (Protestant Reformed Churches) insists that a believer can now act prior to God’s act. That in the order of God’s operation, there is an aspect where man is first. If they insist on man’s act of faith as prior act in the order of God’s dealing with him, then that only means that they are humiliating God while man is very well respected and considered. This insistence of the PRC is Arminian and Romish. It does not matter if the context is the experience of covenant fellowship and salvation. It fits nicely in the doctrine and gospel of the Arminians and Roman Catholics. But the whole point of James is the fellowship of God with his people and the power of him to draw his people to himself. They are drawn that’s why they draw near to God." https://readerscave6.wordpress.com/2025/12/11/draw-nigh-to-god/
