Featured Were God's children ever in danger of being thrown into the lake of fire at any point of time ?

why not? It is clear that God loves the entire human race, as John 3:16 says!

 

K. But it still stands that they whom God foreknew could not have chosen otherwise. So, as you have said, it's just like they were born saved.

 

If people are born saved, then the preaching of the Gospel is a waste of time

 

Yet another Calvinist claiming the Bible does not mean what it says.
"Had not obtained mercy," does not mean had not obtained mercy, but means had obtained mercy.
"were not a people," does not mean were not a people, but means were a people.

Pay no attention to those who hold to man-made doctrine over scripture.

 

People aren't born saved. I'm saying that, even believing in free will, you can't escape the difficulty presented in the OP unless you acknowledge that there is something God cannot know.

 

so God did the repenting and believing for you?

The lost are damned to eternal punishment because the do not believe in the Gospel, as John 3:18, tells us. If, as you say that God regenerated your heart so that you can repent and believe on Him, then HOW can He damn those who do not believe, to whom He did not give this faith? Such is the folly of this man-made theology!

Jesus says in Luke 13, "unless you repent you will likewise perish", which says that the sinner has the ability to repent, or else Jesus' words are pointless!

 

15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother`s womb, and called me through his grace,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood: Gal 1

13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Jn 1

 

And who says that what is true for Paul is for everyone?

This is exactly how false theology starts

 

Jeremiah 1:4-5
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Isaiah 49:5
And now the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has become my strength

Romans 8:29
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

 

it is as good as saying that God ENABLED you to repent and believe! this is robotic

 

further, why did Jesus say, "I tell you, no, but unless YOU repent, you will all perish in the same way" (Luke 13:3, 5)?where it is clear that these could repent, as there is a choice involved. as in John 5:40, "you REFUSE to come", for eternal life. CHOICE involved.

 

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O! There are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings us nigh.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O! There are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and broken, full of sin;
If you tarry till you're better,
You may never enter in.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O! There are ten thousand charms.

Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O! There are ten thousand charms.

 

This has always been my belief for over 50 years... Show me one scripture where man helped God in the creation?... If man did not help God in the first creation?... He does not help God in the new creation?... When I was born naturally I didn't birth myself!... When I was born spiritually, I didn't birth myself either!... The Living Gospel birthed me (quicken me) in the person of The Holy Spirit... Brother Glen

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

 

you just don't understand what the Bible says, and rant on about nothing! What does Jesus say in John 16:8-10? that the Comning of the Holy Spirit, will CONVICT the entire human race of their SIN...because they do not believe in Me! It was this CONVICTION that those who heard Peter in Acts 2, when they were CUT TO THE HEART, that made them ask, What must we DO!". Peters response is in verse 38. Instead of more so called "reformed theology", which is corrupt on the teaching of Biblical salvation, it is the Holy Bible that we must follow!

 

I can see your not convinced that the baby must first be born and breath a breath before they announce their presence to the world.
