Co-Savior Theology is the term I used to describe any doctrine whereby someone believes that in order to be saved it requires your own choice to accept Jesus Christ as savior.
This is a theology that is contrary to God's Word. Is your theology - co-savior theology?

Well no one is born a Christian, we have to make a choice, Jesus or no Jesus. But this does not mean I am a co savior.

Because the carnal mind HATES God. So if we are Carnal there is NO CHANCE that we are going to ACCEPT God. Something has to change that comes EXTERNALLY.
All I know is this: Salvation comes by faith, and that not of itself; it is a gift from God.
Ok, fine, but what does that all mean?
The word most often translated as "faith" in the New Testament is the Greek word Pistis, which means to be persuaded of the truth of something. It's root word is Peitho, which means to be persuaded by the evidence. The analogy would be as in a court of law, where the jury looks at all the evidence and decides which side is telling the truth, based upon a preponderance of the evidence.
Therefore, true, saving faith is an intellectual decision arrived at by examining all the evidence of the existance of God, the veracity of Scripture and the reality of Jesus Christ. Having looked at that evidence critically, one must decide, or chose, to believe it and take action based upon that choice.
So, how is that a gift from God? Because all the evidence you need to make that decision is provided by God as a gift to anyone who will examine it. From the natural world to His Word to the changed lives of others to archaeology, He has provided enough evidence to put us all in the position of either chosing to believe it, or chosing to ignore it.
