God moves across the dead individual and causes a spark to be created. A new birth. With that birth we are given faith, to accept and believe that which we once did not...NOR COULD. This is what God does and decrees. To Him be always honor and glory. Christ was the propiciation and the propiciator in our salvation, so that the wrath of the Father was no longer directed towards us...but at Christ, God's Son. That death was effective for all the elect. Arminianism on the other hand misleads and misrepresents that work of Christ, and may simply guide those who are dead in sin and enemies of God to think that by an act of their will somehow come to saving grace and salvation.
