None of your verses have anything to do with infants or with with baptism. Merely plucking verses out of context to try prooftext your assertion is irresponsible misuse of God's word. It is an abomination that false prophets and Satan use to falsely teach. Peter warns Christians of such behavior...

The Israel of God, the children of the promise, have always been from every nation, tribe and tongue. Paul tells us this. Therefore, your attempt to split God's work into only Israel is a false dichotomy, which you invent to ignore what Jesus declares regarding all children whom God has given...

Huh, kinda sounds like Paul in Romans 7 and 8.

You have entirely missed what Jesus is saying in John 10 as well as John 17. Your last sentence says nothing regarding ransom for all or for some.

Doug, you have hemmed yourself in with a false assertion. Jesus not only prays for all those who will believe in chapter 17, but we also see him bringing Samaritans to faith and healing Gentiles, such as the woman from Tyre and the healing of the Centurions child. The idea that you can...

John 17 shows that Jesus is speaking about the entire world, not just Israel. John 17:10,13-15,20-21,24-26 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I...

It's his stumbling block. Perhaps someday our dear brother will recognize the obstacle.

Josiah, you have an obstacle and stumbling block in your mind. Notice that not once did you address the issue of being ransomed. You are not even addressing the topic of this thread. You are off-topic and therefore railing against something entirely different than the thread. It is very apparent...

Did Jesus ransom all those sins so that the person is redeemed? This is the issue. You keep stating that Jesus death potentially redeems all, but not effectively redeems all. Every Christian will agree with the possibility that if every human believed, then every human would be...

We're still waiting on Josiah to actually answer the question. A week later and he still won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I am concluding that Josiah is a unitarian/universalist, not a lutheran as he claims.

Did Jesus ransom all? Yes or no. This is the topic of this thread.

This is about who Jesus ransomed. You are struggling with the title of this thread and trying to change the topic. I have made my case. The readers can decide for themselves.

Totally relevant to the issue. We are discussing ransom for sin, not who has the opportunity to believe. Perhaps the problem here is that you misunderstand what ransom means and therefore you are talking about something else that does not address the topic. Either that or you are arguing for...

Lamm, it's more than this. We are specifically talking about who Jesus ransomed/ redeemed when he died on the cross. We all agree that Jesus died for all who will believe. The question revolves around those who will not believe. Does Jesus still ransom them despite the reality that they don't...

People can read and see who is sharing the full word of God and who is sharing 6 sentences.

None of these state, “Jesus died for every person without exception." Josiah, tradition can be wrong. We should both be able to agree on this. It matters not if the tradition is 1500 years old or 5 years old. Tradition can be horribly wrong. So, you have no leg to stand on when you try leaning...

Yes, it is impossible to say Jesus ransomed all and not be teaching universalism. All would mean all, universally. The only way to get around that is to add a clause that defeats the universalism...or...you have to look at the context of the verse and realize that the "all" is referring to all...

Yes, I too would like to see the one verse that says “Jesus died for every single person without exception.”
