The light of the world which enlightens every person, he is the one that we receive teaching from and who we study under, he is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
But as with your atonement buddies, it's an interpretation of scripture, but not scripture.
"behold the Lamb of God, behold he who takes away the sin of the world" John 1:29
So you and the boys force an interpretation onto this that contradicts the bulk of scripture.
Perhaps you do not know it, so I shall tell you, that "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God." is a quote from the bible, and not an interpretation offered by anyone.
I experienced the New Birth walking home one day. The presence of Christ in my heart is why I believe. I don't trust in wors to save me. I perform good works because it is my new nature to.
That cannot be, because baptism is the sign and seal of new birth, it is by baptism that one is born anew as Jesus taught Nicodemus.
New birth = believers. Not babies.
New birth = human being.
A human being with Christ living inside.
A human being who after baptism is a part of Christ's body.
Before Baptism. Whoever believes and is baptized.....
and is baptised, is what you pretend to not see, right?
Only believers should be baptized.
All that the fathers calls ought to come to the Lord in and through baptism.
Believers only.
Many are called, few are chosen; you ought to read more scripture and learn the truth. Study to show yourself approved.
Many are called and left unatoned for. Few are chosen and atoned for from before the creation of the world.
Yet all that the Father calls will come to the Lord. You dance with words and play a sharp game with them, you do yourself injury by it.
which means Christ did not die for those who do not come.
