It's not God's will that any perish! The bible says that God made man upright, in his image, likeness, and similitude, and we are his offspring. God formed us! "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” We all know the truth, and hold the truth and have had the truth revealed to us, and the truth is clearly seen. We have a conscience that pricks us when we do wrong. God also influences us by his grace. We have all the resources in heaven to overcome in this life. This is clearly contradictive to what is being taught in the church today.
These are scriptures that run through the bible that cannot be broken! The gospel of Jesus trumps the doctrines of man!
I believe all babies are saved, and under grace. We all have gone astray and turned aside if by committing just one sin. But this doesn't mean that our hearts have turned away from God. As long as that baby, then child, then adult, continues serving God he will remain under grace.
There are men who have had a righteous nature all of their life. What God created was good, and not evil, unjust, or unfair. We are all without excuse, because God has never wronged anyone, and has given us more power to live righteous, than to live in sin. As a matter of fact, it is unnatural to sin, and disrupts our conscience.
By temptation the Angels fell and waxed worse and worse! And they didn't have sinful flesh, or a depraved nature. By temptation Adam fell. By temptation all men fell as Adam. If we couldn't fall from salvation, why did Satan say to God about Job, "But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face."
The fact is, "The Lord is with you, while you be with him... but if you forsake him, he will also forsake you." So his not forsaking us is conditional on our not forsaking him.
Babies aren't aliens of God, children of wrath, or totally depraved. God doesn't give us more temptation than we can bear. God doesn't say seek ye, change ye, turn ye, rend ye, come to me, believe and have faith, if we couldn't! The bible would be filled with redundant commands that only taunt man.
Calvinist's take all the few and rare, obscure, misinterpreted, prooftexted, out of context scriptures to interpret the plain ones. But the many and plain scriptures trump the few and obscure. I'd like to see Calvinist's get up in the pulpit and preach what they really believe. I am not ashamed of the gospel, why? Because the Gospel I have is nothing to be ashamed of. The Gospel of Christ makes sense!
