Again, the Psalms 58:3 specifically speaks about God bring judgment to the wicked. Not all are wicked if so then all will be lost none lacking. Paul does not ever say one is born with sin, with a deceitful wicked heart. --John says sin is transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 --therefore no sin...

You posted "I can find no verse that states, "all those who receive baptism must FIRST come to faith in Jesus..." Mark 16:16 puts believing before baptism. What Polycarp did does not matter at all, all that matters is what the Bible says for the repository of God's truth is His word, not...

'Death' in Romans 6:23 refers to spiritual death. The contrast being made in the verse is between spiritual death, being lost, condemned contrasted from being saved, having eternal life.

I see nowhere in this post a verse that shows Abraham being reckoned righteous/justified occurred in an instance in time when he supposedly had "faith only'. It was a process. Had Abraham disobeyed at the beginning when he was told to leave his house land and kindred (Gen 12) would he have...

2 Cor 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." This verse says nothing about it being impossible for a Christian to quit believing. Matthew 3:13 "And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold...

I cannot find that either.

Yes, Christ has made salvation possible for all men, but the only men that will be saved are the ones that have been bought as those in 2 Pet 2. They had been bought (past tense) so they had came into the possession of the One who bought them, Jesus their Master, Owner.

No, they had been "bought" (past tense) redeemed by the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19) so there is no way they would have been imposters. Since they had been 'bought' by Jesus then that would make Jesus their "Master". Jesus is not the Master of lost, unforgiven reprobates. Other details...

I disagree for I do not see where the Psalmist is speaking about every human being but is talking specifically about the wicked for everyone is not as the wicked person as described in the context. If the Psalmist is speaking about the whole human race, then the Psalmists is asking God to...

There is no age requirement but there is a belief requirement. In order to have a belief required by the Bible to be saved requires mental maturity which comes with age. In Mark 16:16 Jesus used a logical progression of steps where each step must be taken in logical sequence. An example, if I...

Psa 58 v3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. v4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; v5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. v6 Break...

Yes, learniing is a process one goes through to find out things about God and what is in God's mind that He has revealed to man. But becoming and remaining saved is also a process and you have not proven otherwise. Again, can you prove to us that Abraham being reckoned righteous/justified was...

One is in Christ by choice therefore can leave Christ by choice. Again, there is no verse(s) that says when a man believes it will be impossible for him to ever stop believing. Again, you give no book chapter and verse to back this up. sigh...unless I missed it, nowhere in this long post did...

Because the positive part of the verse does not apply to the sinner that continues to impenitently live in sin.....as adultery. The wages of sin is death and that means any sin committed by anyone who continues impenitently in sin as the person I gave in my scenario. And Romans 6:23 does not...

My posts have been proving those apostates in 2 Peter 2 had once been saved for they had been "bought" (2 Peter 2:1), i.e., redeemed by the blood of Christ but later fell away into apostasy. I also posted that a Calvinist on another forum denied "bought" has anything to do with...

I cannot find the phrase "water of the gospel" anywhere in the Bible"

Mark 16:16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Romans 7:8-9; Romans 9:11; 1 John 3:4 From the above verses, belief, repentance and confession are prerequisites that are to be met before one is baptized. The purpose of baptism is for the remission of sins. Infants do not have the capability to believe...

And one puts on Christ in baptism , (Galatians 3:27). And then must faithfully remain in Christ and not fall away from Christ. So we agree that receiving salvation is CONDITIONAL upon man believing in his heart. Therefore we can get rid of the false idea of OSAS that salvation is...

You posted "This man caught in an adulterous state of your scenario, if he was once truly saved he is still saved, my friend. Do not be confused with even a grave sin and disobedience. These variables cannot lose this man’s salvation as some depressing religions have said and preached. " I...

2 Peter chapter 2 clearly refutes OSAS. Those who had been (past tense) bought had become false teachers and become lost. One can look to Acts 15 also. The Apostles met at the church in Jerusalem to discuss the false teaching be spread that "Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses...
