Bible Note: JRdoc, You said: "You affirm that Christ died for ALL (without exception) the sin of ALL (without exception) men. This is the affirmation of Arminianism and yours as well as you stated and affirmed. Now, UNBELIEF is a sin. If Christ did not die for it than ALL are still in their sin. If Christ died for the sin of UNBELIEF for ALL MEN (without exception) then NONE (without exception) could ever be lost. This is UNIVERSALISM and this is what your doctrine affirms whether you like it or not. " Unbelief is not “a” sin, it is the sin “condition” of the flesh that we inherited from Adam: Romans 5:18Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in “condemnation”, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. That sin condition stays on the flesh forever: 1Cor 15: 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. You said: "1.

After-all your doctrine affirms that the sin of UNBELIEF has been taken care of at Calvary for ALL men without exception and thus THE DECISION has been made. So please do not accuse Calvinists of doing that which you do to the glory of man. " Now I say again: “If we make the choice to believe in the name of Christ, then we do not need to be forgiven for choosing unbelief: “ God bless, Pastor Glenn |
