Sorry that's just the terminology I'm used to, I wasn't that exposed to Pre-trib ideologies when I was younger other than the Left Behind books. I appreciate the book suggestion as well and I'll try to get my hands on a copy when I can find time.

I wouldn't say they have sinned, but that they have been born into sin. Sorry, I hope I'm not being cryptic.

Well first in the case of Romans, I do believe that's what it means in that all have sinned and fallen short which is why we all need a Savior, but in the case of babies or, like you said, the mentally handicapped, I do not believe they are held accountable for their actions. If they die, I...

Well I think we can find Scripture that support that children/babies go to heaven upon death as well as that adults if they have no faith in Christ do not. For example when David and Bethsheba's son died in his infancy, David has assurance that he will see his child again in heaven. (2 Samuel...

I use ESV most often, I don't think I even own a KJV anymore just because it was harder to read.

I think if humanity was destined for heaven as a default (as in if they never hear the Gospel they will go to heaven), the most evil thing we could possibly do would be to spread the Gospel through missions. By sending missionaries to places the Gospel has never been preached, we would instantly...

Much appreciated, I'll be sure to check out that page first.

It may very well be my own interpretation, but I think that the most Protestants agree that we are saved through faith in Christ alone as based on Scriptures read in context. When another doctrine claims that faith alone does not save, but that faith and good works are required for salvation, we...

Ah, sorry I'm a bit new here. What catagory is that under?

I haven't personally found strong Biblical evidence supporting a secret pre-trib rapture and I'm curious why people support it. I'm not looking for a debate, I just wanted to know some supportive or non-supportive arguments.

I absolutely agree, I did not mean to suggest that there are no true christians in the Catholic church, or that any denomination is perfect. What I meant is that if you take the whole of Catholic doctrine, adding and removing nothing, it does not line up with (and in some cases contradicts)...

Oh you said American Indian, my apologies.

Some of my favorite (all Baptist) are Paul Washer, David Platt, and Matt Chandler.

While I am young and clearly have much to learn on this issue, my studies of Catholicism have caused me to say that Catholicism is not a saving gospel. There are a few heretical teachings associated with Catholicism but the most prominent, in my opinion, and dangerous is the belief that works is...

Awesome! I'll send you a friend request once I figure that out lol
