Thank you for your explanation. [As a Baptist, I only understand believer's immersion as being the Biblical teaching, whether after or before salvation. And so never a requirement in order to be saved.]

I didn't oppose anything, in my post you cited. The lost cannot see or enter God's kingdom.

The preception remains in Isaiah 53:6, . . . the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. . . . is being understood as a penal substitution.

Fair question. The intended subject of thread. But I didn't properly qualify the second person singular usage by the word of God was the issue. Our modern English uses what was the plural "you" and "your," replacing, "thee," "thy," "thou," and "thine." For example the seven letters to the...

Hmm. . . . as in John 3:3, . . . cannot see the kingdom of God. As found in Matthew, Mark and Luke. As in Matthew 18:3, . . . shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. As in Mark 10:15, . . . shall not enter therein. As in Luke 18:17, . . . shall in no wise enter therein. So the question...

This is at issue.

What mankind acquired as a result of eating of that tree is explicitly stated by our Creator. Genesis 3:22, And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: . . . God is infinitely good. God created man to be very good. That knowledge of good and evil...

And does not identify when God's word is to the second person singular.

Proverbs 20:27, The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. . . . all the inward parts . . . . Jeremiah 17:9, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 1 John 3:20-21, For if our heart condemn us, God is...

A singular pronoun in God's word is not plural.

Bosom, Luke,16:23; compare John 1:18. Now Jesus when He physically died His soul went to the upper neither world, Paradise, [Acts 2:27, . . . Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.] And Jesus after His resurrection, would move...

That is stupid and just plain silly. Abraham was in the upper place of the neither world also known as paradise. [Luke 23:43; Ps 86:13.]

Most modern translations do not identify second person singular pronouns as such.

Truth is because it is the truth. Being a majority opinion does not make what is not the truth to be true. And yes, Jesus is building His church, Matthew 16:18.

I am of the persuasion letters ascribed to Ignatius of Antioch are third century forgeries or later.

The churches indeed preserved copies of the New Testament books from in the first century. The Catholic name wasn't until about the third century.

The 27 book New Testament teachings are the sole actual Apostolic teachings we have from the first century.

<snip> Either the New Testament books go to the first century when they were written or they would not be authentic. I am persuaded the New Testament books are authentic. Romans 8;9. Romans 8:16.
