No one overcomes unbelief "on their own" — God uses general revelation, conscience, and the Holy Spirit to call everyone

Mike argues that even in a non-Calvinist framework, no one overcomes unbelief alone. Creation declares God's glory (general revelation), conscience tells us we are sinners in need of a savior (Romans 1), and the Holy Spirit calls us through the gospel. None of these are human efforts — they are all God's initiative. So even those who respond to the gospel are not acting independently.
