Jesus redeemed (pid for) EVERY person who ever live or ever WILL live.
ALL are redeemed – but NOT all are saved. That takes faith, repentance, and Baptism (Mark 18:16, Acts 2:38).
In other words, my disobedient friend – it takes OUR cooperation with God’s grace.
Jesus redeemed and paid for (sins) of every person who ever live or will ever live,
IS A FALSE STATEMENT. If that were true, no one will ever be put in hell because all of his sins have been redeemed and paid for! There is NOT one sin he will commit that will threaten him with hell.
One Baptism which is the
washing of regeneration (Titus 3:5),
never water baptism.
Normally I would have given up trying to share with anyone the true Gospel who adamantly believes man has a part to play in his salvation, but I am compelled not to do so, or can I argue anyone to heaven.
Firstly, grace and faith is a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9), but did you know that faith is a work and is contrary to verse 9?
Secondly, you and many in Christendom, and especially those on these forums that believe man has a “free will.” Yet Jesus said, “
No man can come to me unless the Father draw him” (John 6:44) and again Jesus said,
“All that the Father giveth me will come to me and I will have lost none of them” (John 6:37).
But man in his arrogance and perverseness believes he has a “free will” and therefore, he believes his salvation is dependent upon his “
cooperation.” Unbeknown to him he is dead in his sins and sold to Satan, therefore, spiritually dead. A dead person has no life in him let alone decide.
SALVATION AS SEEN IN THE RAISING OF LAZARUS.
Before Jesus went to the tomb He told Martha,
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
At the tomb, Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus come forth.” Can Lazarus hear the command of Jesus? Of course not he is physically dead and no life within him! But Lazarus did come forth what had to have happened? Well, Jesus had to reach into the tomb and give him life to respond!
1) As Lazarus was physically dead so are we spiritually dead.
2) As Lazarus was physically deaf so are we spiritually deaf dull in hearing the Gospel.
3) As Lazarus was physically dumb so are we spiritually dumb and no ability to speak in the things of God
4) As Lazarus was physically blind so are we spiritually blind to understand the Word of God.
5) And so on…
Now tell me, what part did Lazarus play in his raising from the dead by Jesus?
None! Likewise, man in and of himself does
NOT have the power to accept, believe, confess Jesus, nor
cooperate with God’s grace
as you have indicated!
Unless it is given from above! (Matthew 3:27)
I suggest you reevaluate your stand/walk with God because you and your church’s doctrines are full of errors!
You display yourself as being one of those who is “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth!”
To God Be The Glory
