I'm not sure where the bible says outright we bear the guilt for Adams sin, but one thing that definitely flies in the face of that is, Jesus would have born Adams sin too because he was human like us. But instead, and we all know this is a fact, Christ was said to be, and was, sinless. Making me believe he bore no guilt because he had no sin, so in turn any guilt we have is due to our own sin.
I think the "born with a clean slate" is more likely the case, for what good it's going to do us. That is unless someone can say where the bible says clearly we are guilty for Adams sin, something that in itself, we know just doesn't sound fair at all.
Also, and I'd have to try to find scripture if no one else recalls it, but if I'm not mistaken, it was said somewhere in the bible that God will not hold the innocent guilty of someone else's sin.
So, in the end we have the following cases against us being held guilty for Adams sin, if they all pan out to be true anyway (some already are:
1) Jesus was sinless and he was human, a strong case.
2) To be guilty of someone else's sin just doesn't sound right, a somewhat strong case.
2) It "may" be biblical God doesn't hold one guilty of anothers sin. Maybe the strongest case against, if verified true.
And the possible reason for being held guilty is, the bible might say that, not a very strong case. That's where I'm at anyway.
