101 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76322 | ||
I think that you have applied these verses out of context. Will I be forgiven if you ask God to forgive me? Forgiveness is dependent on each person repenting and asking for forgiveness. If, as you say, they know not what they do, are they sinning? |

102 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76321 | ||
Did David mean heaven or just the afterlife in general? What about the justice and character of a Holy God makes you think that he could allow a sinful nature in his presence? Why would it be right for God to accept them into heaven? |

Hello, I have been away. Ok, you say children are innocent. Others say that children are "not accountable". Aside from the belief in a genetically transmitted sin nature, is there a practical difference between not accountable and innocent? In other words, you can say a child is not accountable, but doesn't that add up to innocent in God's eyes? I mean could God really overlook a depraved nature and allow it into His holy presence? Doesn't the Bible teach that for anyone to be in heaven they must be righteous before God? Thanks for answering my questions. |

Not accountable? In other words, innocent. Have they not sinned against God? Or do they still have the sin nature? If so, how does God accept them without their having demonstrated the acceptance of his gospel? | ||||||

They fall from grace. They tasted God's gift, and turned away. | ||||||

Consider Simon the Sorcerer for one. Acts 8:9-24 I would point out the many passages in Hebrews, but I have already done so to no avail. Perhaps, Demas, who loved this present world more than the work of the Lord. II Tim 4 |

The blessing is not part of the Hebrew example, the birthright is. Esau could not get the birthright back. Jacob could have given up the birthright once he had received it, but he held it until he received the blessing. | ||||||
108 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | sniper | 75613 | ||
I must confess I am not sure why you pointed out the "you sees". I do know that if there are no works then there is no faith. The only way to see faith is through works. Belief is not enough for salvation. Obedience through faith must also be present. If a person has been baptized for the remission of sin, and has works in keeping with repentence, then I will not call them a pseudo- beliver. | ||||||

If there is apparent contradiction between your beliefs and the Bible then youmust look to the Bible(word of God) for the answer. How did Hebrews 6:3-8 become hypothetical? I see no indication in the text that it is hypothetical. Rather the text indicates that the writer is referring to specific cases. Hebrews 10:38 says "But my RIGHTEOUS one shall live by faith; and if HE (referring back to the righteous one) shrinks back my soul has no pleasure in him. It does say that the ones who shrink back are those who were never saved. Why do you think that the writer of Hebrews admonishes the christians so many times that they must endure? They must not shrink back. They must perservere. The Bible teaches that you can turn away from God's gift. |

God forgives Moments of weakness. You sin, you realize it, you repent, God forgives. You continue on walking in the light. However, what if you decided some fleshly desire had more appeal and a more immediate payoff than continuing to walk in the light. You have just made the same choice Esau made in Heb. 12:16,17. | ||||||

Robert, You have quoted many scriptures with which I agree. God does want us to have eternal life and God wants us to be sure of our salvation. However, you have not dealt with the question. Can you walk away from your salvation? Can you lose it? Can you ignore Hebrews chapter 6? Remember, Hebrews was written to Christians. How about Hebrews 12:15-17 or 10:36-39. Read Galatians 4:7-9. These are just a few. God can save us, but your salvation is dependent upon wlaking in the light. As Romans 8 describes, we must walk in the spirit. You have a choice as a free will agent. You can set your mind on things of the spirit or on things of the flesh. You can taste the word of God and then fall away. |

Thanks for the response. It is good to hear from people who are willing to believe what is plainly written. | ||||||

A person is saved by faith, but read James 2:24. This is the only place in the Bible that you will find the words faith and alone together. "Not by faith alone" God must see our faith, otherwise it is a dead faith. You will understand this if take James chapter 2 at face value. Abraham was not due a favor for his works(Romans 4), thus his faith saved him. Abraham's faith would never had been known were it not for his works(James 2). We work(obey, heed,etc.) because we love God and have faith in Him, but we do not expect a payment for our work. We only are doing what a faithful servant should do. | ||||||

SRP, We agree that Jesus is the Savior, not the baptism. We also agree that baptism is not a removal of dirt from the flesh. We can both plainly read that in the verse. However, I choose to believe what else can be plainly read in the verse, "Baptism now saves you." There is an explanation within the verse which fits with Jesus as the Savior. Baptism is an "appeal to God for a good conscience-through the resurrecton of Jesus Christ."(NASB) The verse does not say that water has a magical power, or that it is merely a bath. The verse does not say that baptism is a testimony of something that has already happened. It does say "Baptism now saves you...through an appeal to God for a clean conscience-through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." Please refer to my first answer to the question for further explanation of faith. |
