81 | 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 |

82 | 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 |

84 | 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. |

Thank you for your reply. | ||||||
87 | 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. |

89 | 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. |

91 | 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. |

Typo-opening line. Peter had just preached the message of Christ. | ||||||
93 | Is confession necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76467 | ||
Thanks for the clarification. We also have to confess our salvation before men. Matthew 10:32,33 Romans 10:9 |

Thanks. Also Matthew 10:32,33 | ||||||

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. |

Matthew 10:32,33. Good verses, thanks. I must admit that I am not understanding the first part of your post. Please explain further. |

97 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76463 | ||
I believe that Paul is teaching here as he does in Colossians 3. Christians are to have a spiritual mindset - one that is set on things of the spirit. A man who filters everything through a worldly mindset will view spiritual things as foolishness. To understand and accept "the things of the Spirit of God" one must spiritually discern. | ||||||

Thanks for your post. I agree with I Peter 5:5. I believe that younger men should be subject to older men who arfe teaching what is right. Please read the verses I posted to you previously and give me your thoughts. Don't we have a responsibility to check everything against the scriptures? Or should we blindly follow older men because they are older? |

Dear Cyclist, I had intended to make a response, but I have just read Disciplerami's reply to your post. Disciplerami's post is a better reply than I would have made. I would like you to support your assertion that correction can only be received if it is from an elder in Christ. Don't we all have a responsibility to compare what we hear and read to the word. (Acts 17:11, I John 4:1, I Thess 5:21) |
