101 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76886 | ||
Disciplerami, I apologize for jumping into your discussion. I have been following along in the posts. I found this post to be logical, informative, and a very good contextual study. Thank you for your work on this passage, it has helped me to better understand this issue. Sniper |

102 | Is repentance necessary for salvation? | Romans | sniper | 76833 | ||
"now God has turned me around " This is a statement that I have copied from your post. I agree with your definition of repentance. It does mean to change your mind and and turn from your sinful ways. However, I would like you to further explain the statement I copied from your post. Do you mean that the repentance is not an action of your own? I realize that God saves a person and it maybe that is all you mean, but it sounds like you are saying that God turned you from your sinful ways. Just trying to understand, sniper |

I have posed two questions in a succession. They were: Are hearing and confession necessary for salvation? I believe the general consensus is that they are necessary, and in the course of discussion I believe it is agreed that belief is also necessary. I would now like to pose the question: Is repentance necessary? | ||||||

106 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76815 | ||
John, Please do not misunderstand. I do not believe that babies, toddlers, or young children are damned. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your sister's niece, and I know that she is in Heaven. I do believe that God is a logical being and has created us in His image to be the same. I am trying to point out the sickening logical conclusion of the unbiblical belief that sin is inherent, original and applied to a persons soul at the moment of conception. sniper |

108 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76771 | ||
It doesn't help because I find no Biblical support for inherent, original sin. I find no support for the idea that Christ's atonement can cover the sinful soul of one who has not obeyed the gospel. | ||||||

Dear Radioman2, I concluded from your statements regarding willful rejection that you must believe in the freewill nature of man. Perhaps, I was wrong. The Contradiction is this: If sin is inherent and original then a soul is condemned the moment it is conceived. Why, then, is it necessary for a person to reach a point of willful rejection in order to be condemned? Obviously, babies cannot make a conscious, willful rejection. So either they are condemned by their sin nature, or a person is condemned when they make a conscious, willful rejection. |

111 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76638 | ||
Yes, you did say elder in Christ. So, are you suggesting that there is a seniority rank structure within the body of Christ? Whereby, the eldest in Christ can never receive correction because there is no one senior to him? By that logic a young preacher's exhortations from the pulpit to elders would be unscriptural and not worthy of receiving. It is the responsibility of all Christians to search out what is right, and point out what is wrong. (Acts 17:11, I Jn 4:1, II Tim 4:2, Matt 18:15, II Pet 1:20) Moreover, the elder of I Peter 5 does not necessarily refer to those who are in elder in Christ. It refers to the men of age who hold the office of elder and who have met the qualifications as laid out in Titus 1:5-9 and I Tim 3:1-7. Granted, he must not be a new convert, but in no way is there seniority rank structure which precludes an older man in Christ from receiving correction when it is necessary. |

I accept your apology, but would still like an answer to the question I posted to you. |

113 | Is confession necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76597 | ||
Do we agree that, although not everyone may physically be confronted with the gospel, God has left enough evidence to be understood, at least enough to lead men to search after him? If we do agree, then do we agree that everyone must first "hear", then search after God? If we agree on that, then do we agree that after a person finds God they must be willing to confess their belief? |

Dear Radioman2, I do not understand the nature of your post. I have posted a legitimate question and I am genuinely awaiting your response. Sincerely, Sniper P.S. I am not a person who attacks, nor do I need to attack, a persons character or work from from a distance. My question was in no way snide criticism. |

115 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76518 | ||
Certainly worth a penny more. Thank you. Indeed it is a jump to use Ps. 111:10 and Pro. 9:10 as proof that "only the Spirit of God can give understsanding". True, fear of the Lord is spiritual discernment, and I cannot conclude that only the Spirit can give understanding of spiritual things. As you have stated, Paul teaches that creation is an evidence of God which should lead men towards him. That seems as though God expects spiritual discernment of everyone. |

116 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 76483 | ||
Typo-opening line. Peter had just preached the message of Christ. | ||||||
117 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 76481 | ||
Peter had just the message of Christ. The listeners were pierced to the heart (v37). In other words, they believed the message and were convicted. They did believe. Notice that Peter did not refer them to his earlier statement (v 21) that they should merely call upon the name of the Lord. He said, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Notice also in Acts 16 that in response to the question in verse 30 Paul said said they needed to believe, and then Paul delivered the gospel in verse 32. In immediate response to what was taught they were baptized (v 33). You'll see the same pattern throughout Acts. The Ethiopian Eunuch was immeditely baptized after hearing the Gospel. Paul relates his own conversion in Acts 22. He was told in verse 16 to not delay, but arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name. Some say a "sinners prayer" is all that is necessary, but I do not find that prescription in the Bible. If I did, I would do it because that is what God asked. I must respond with faith to what is written. What is written is, if you believe, and are repentant, then be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. |

Thanks for the clarification. We also have to confess our salvation before men. Matthew 10:32,33 Romans 10:9 |

You allude to a freewill. You call it a "willful rejection" or "sensing personal need". But, then you turn around and say the following. "Scripture is clear that children and the unborn have original sin-including both the propensity to sin as well as the inherent guilt of original sin." How is there a willful rejection if the sin is inherent and original? Where is scripture clear abou this? Please support. |
