Romans 6:16 are two options men chooses for himself for Christ does not choose for man which of those two options man will serve. Christ does not choose for men which ones will be saved or lost. Romans 5:18 shows that Christ's righteous obedience provides a remedy for all those who have been...

Each man chooses to sin his own sin and therefore bring about his own spiritually death having chosen to serve "sin unto death". Those in Acts 2, for example, who obeyed Peter's command to repent and be baptized were the ones who were "obedient unto righteousness". Those Romans to whom Paul...

There is physical death and spiritual death. All men will die physically as a consequence of Adam sinning not because of inheriting Adam's sin. Did Christ die physically because of inheriting Adam's sin? Yet only those who choose to sin and refuse to repent of those sins will die...

You're not consistant with your intrepretation. On one hand you want all men unconditionally be sinners due to Adam but on the other hand you says some who conditionally call on the name of Jesus will be saved. Yet the Bible shows men are conditionally made sinners when they choose to sin 1...

v34 And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God. The participle phrase 'having believed' sums up all the jailer had done including repenting (washed their stripes) and being baptized. Believed here is used as...

All people, including infants, die as a consequence of Adam sinning not because they inherited Adam's. People die as a consequence of a drunk driver's sin not because they inherit the drunk driver's sin. For anyone to be a sinner requires a law to exist (Romans 4:15) and that law must be...

Christ forgives sins conditionally. When the sinners obeys the gospel by being water baptized, all the sins he has committed up till that time are forgiven, washed away by the blood of Christ (Acts of the Apostles 2:38). Therefore water baptism is the initial point sins are forgiven and from...

Again, the context does NOT say they were made sinner UNCONDITIONALLY, that is made sinners apart from choosing to sin as it does NOT say they were made righteous UNCONDITIONALLY, that is, made righteous apart from choosing to have faith. So the verses do not teach unconditional condemnation of...

Hebrews 9:22 says without the shedding of blood there is no remission. This verse refers to the shedding of Christ's blood that can remit sins for those OT animal sacrifices could not forgive sins, (Hebrews 10:3-4). If they could forgive sins then there would be no need to stop offering them...

Again, the Bible does not teach man is born with a sin nature for such an idea makes man a victim of sin, excusing man for his sin and would have God unjustly condeming man for an inability man was innately born with. John 8:44-45 in context Jesus is speaking to those Jews who would not believe Him.

BEFORE Christ's death and shed blood, sins would be forgiven in promise looking to when Christ would die for those under the OT law still needed to be redeemed (Galatians 4:4-5). The promise of forgiveness of sins would not be reality until Christ did actually die on the cross.

Man is not born a sinner, born with total depravity for such gives man an excuse for his sin when man is "without excuse". Man is a sinner for he chooses to sin yet man does not have to die and be lost for those sins he chose to commit. For man can with that same volition he used to choose to...

Nothing in Romans chapters 1-3 speaks of man being born a sinner. Paul spends chapters 1 and 2 proving all (Jew and Gentile) have sinned yet NOWHERE ever says Jew or Gentiles were born sinners. Instead Paul mentions various sins Jews and Gentiles commited by which they were then made sinners...

The issue is if God ALONE decides which men will and will not be saved. If such were the case then God ALONE is 100% culpable for for those saved and lost. How can man have culpability for what is 100% out of his own control, culpabile for what God has 100% control over? He cannot. The fact...

If you are referring to Romans 7, Paul is not describing a totally depraved person for Romans 7:15 Paul is taking responsibility for his own sins he committed and is not talking about how he was born against his will for totally depravity would provide an excuse for his sinning making man an...

Those 3000 of Acts 2 were "added" to those who were already in the church as the Apostles and other baptized with John's baptism. ('added' carries the idea of adding to what already exists). Mark 1:4; Job 1:5; Leviticus 4:31; Mark 2:5 do all speak of forgiveness of sins BEFORE Christ's death...

Mark 1:4 "John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins." Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." John's baptism DID remit sins and it did occur BEFORE Christ...

Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." 2 Cor 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"...

I do not find those who were baptized with John's baptism while it was still in effect had to be rebaptized. John's baptism ended and Christ's baptism began in Acts 2. Therefore those in Acts 19 that were baptized with John's baptism had to be rebaptized with Christ's baptism for John's...

The Bible does not teach man is born with a sin nature that causes man to sin against his will, that idea is a false teaching of men. CHrist died for every man, (Hebrews 2:9) yet every man will not be saved for every man will not obey Christ (Hebrews 5:9). You did not give an example of God...
