But God does not separate us from Him at birth. We separate ourselves from Him when we sin.

Obviously, the sin there is his mother. Death spread to all men because all sinned, not because Adam sinned. Eze 18:20 The soul who sins shall die. That is physical death. It doesn't differentiate the "all men" in those verses as you have done. The only reason for doing so is to align it...

Who said anything about walking in newness of live without the Spirit? I didn't. And neither did Paul.

Unbelievable. Like talking to my dear, blessed grandmother about thermodynamics. She just didn't get it.

I am not trying to say anything. I said it.

Waling in newness of life is being born again. They are one and the same.

Espand it and read it

So it is true. You think God picked you but not Hitler. Interesting. Very interesting. Wrong but interesting.

Rom 6:4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a...

So God just picked you out of all the people on this earth and regenerated you for no apparent reason? I don't think so. In order to believe that you must be the most narcissist person in the whole world. He should have picked Hitler too. That would have saved millions from untold misery and...

Romans 5:18-19 (actually Romans 5:12-10) is not talking about being born again. It is talking about being born into this world, the original birth. Paul follows that discussion then in Romans 6: 1-14 about being born again. There he calls it walking in newness of life. Newness of life is...

What do you think it means that you were born again? What is different between what you were before you were born again and after you were born again? Yes Spirit gives birth to spirit. What did the Spirit do to you when He gave birth (again) to your spirit?

We were born righteous at birth by the second Adam. But then we sinned and became unrighteous. And those who believe and are baptized are made righteous again by being born again. We would have inherited the sin of Adam had it not been for the righteousness of Jesus. So instead we inherited...

You are right. We cannot do it by being baptized or trying our best to be good enough. However, God has told us that He would do it when we believe, repent and are baptized.

Wrong. (ESV)Rom 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. If the many who were made sinners were everyone who has ever been born, then the many who were made righteous must be everyone who has ever...

The phrase, "born again" is another term for regeneration. So even though the term or the word "regenerated" only appears twice in the NT and only one of those concerns soteriology, it is a word heavily used in the discussions of soteriology. It is one of the acts of God in His saving an...

I agree, but that certainly is not how it is usually interpreted. And as I said, the passage, Romans 5:12- 19, is about spiritual life but not eternal life.

Maybe just read the entire passage in context. No, you prefer an interpretation which fits your predetermined theology.

How is it that AS condemnation come upon ALL men and EVEN SO the free gift came upon ALL men? Are you proposing here that Paul was speaking universalism of salvation?
