Could you PLEASE answer my question? "How can the gospel in the Word and Sacrament always be efficacious but men can resist and reject it?. <span style="background-color:yellow">What does this "efficaciousness" consist of,</span> whether in regard to the Gospel or baptism?

The "efficacy" of the gospel and of baptism means that they will accomplish exactly what God promises they will accomplish without regard to any work of man.
I shall not judge the reason(s) behind your constant avoidance of answering direct questions, but I will choose to end wasting my time with you on this matter. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/igiveup.gif" alt="" />

re: Paul's response, "equivocation" is an understatement and only scratches the surface in describing your polemic, if even using that term is justified to describe your so-called rebuttals. There is no further comment needed on my part.

In His grace,
