so we agree
sorry this is universal salvation and I dont accept that at all. we are not all automatically saved, we must accept salvation
This I agree withNo, I do not believe in universal salvation. Not all are saved as scripture states. Those who ARE saved are saved only by grace through faith. We don't save ourselves. But we sure can damn ourselves.

"You did not choose me but I (Jesus) chose you."
"No one is capable of saying Jesus is Lord unless the Holy Spirit enables it"
"The free gift of faith in Christ Jesus"
SOLA Gratia - SOLUS Christus - SOLI Fide.... which means no room for self, it's SOLELY, ONLY, EXCLUSIVELY, TOTALLY GOD, alone: His unconditional love, His gift of the SAVIOR (not helper), His gift of faith. SOLI Deo Gloria (not self!).
SAINT John, writing to CHRISTIANS, states, "if ANYONE claims to be (present tense) sinless, he LIES (present tense) and deceives only himself."
SAINT Paul, writing to CHRISTIANS, states, "NO ONE is (present tense) righteous, no, not even one."

Isn't that like making a choice ... in one hand... sin and all its devilish pleasures... in the other hand.... promises

Do the TEN check and see for yourself.... How about coming in and being the pastor while committing sexual sins of all kinds?I don't see any denomination inviting people to go out and sin. Do you?

Yep, got that in my baptism those white robes and thanks for the reminder on that because there is an interesting tidbit about how Jewish fathers would provide the white robes to the guests attending the wedding so I really like to see how God provides for us.
