[Lamb]

Every man is given a measure of faith that is biblical. What we do is the question, do we grow it in Christ or do we kill it

Could you tell me which verse you're getting that from (every man measure of faith)? If it's from Romans 12:3 it's directed at believers especially since Paul says it "to everyone among you". He's talking to believers who have been given faith. The next verse of 12:4 goes on to talk about being members of one body. Believers.

So, what verse do you get that from then since Romans 12:3 doesn't apply?

Personally I think it does, every man includes all

 

[Lamb]

Personally I think it does, every man includes all

Here is what the NIV says of that verse, maybe you'll rethink your position?

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Can you see that he's talking to a specific group of people? He's not saying every man in the world.

 

[Alithis]

No, your not already there or else we are back to everyone is saved

yup..we wait in faith for the salvation that is to be revealed when Jesus returns.. that's scipture.if we
are not found abiding in him ,enduring in him we will not be included.
refer the wise and foolish virgins .

 

[Lamb]

We can refer to salvation as being when, in Genesis the promise of the Savior was given. We can refer to salvation when Jesus died for our sins on the cross. We can refer to salvation when God baptized us and gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit (and faith by His Word). We can refer to salvation when He comes again with judgment and we have eternal life. It's all about Jesus.
