Yep, you didn’t see it my friend. I think you have a problem with the understanding of being “safe” and “saved”. Again, I have to put an “if” in the sentence that if a child never understood the truths of the gospel which is apparent then the children are considered safe in Jesus rather than using the traditional word “saved”. This is because of their lack of ability to understand the gospel truth. This is safety is based on David’s words in a future meeting with the dead infant 2 Sam. 12:23 cp. Matthew 19:14. On the assumption that If the two years old is not dead and still cannot grasp the gospel truths, then the two-year-old is safe. If the presumption, one understands truths, then, by all means, the 2-Year-old already needs to be saved. Why did you ask this? I assume you have a two-year-old who not comprehend truths, well you should not make no worries then. For “theirs is the kingdom of heaven” as Jesus said.
Nicodemus is lost not the one you said eternally. He once was lost, simply because he needs to be born again. In John 7:50, a change is observable in that he defends Jesus against the charges of the Sanhedrin. At the crucifixion, he publicly stands as one of the disciples of Jesus. John 19:38, 39.
So this simply means, Nicodemus is not “lost eternally” yet he once was lost but Christ found him. I hope, I found an answer to your curiosity.
Nope. You don't have to prove anything. If you love others, it should come from compassion/empathy and not your zeal to prove anything- this is no longer love but pride.
Jesus died for the sins of the world and His sacrifice atones for the sins of the world, yet that does not mean the whole world is automatically saved. The result was justification and life for (believers) those who are in Christ (Romans 5:17) and not automatically for everyone. (Acts 13:39; Romans 3:26; 5:1; 6:23; 8:1 etc..)
Back at you. So which church are you affiliated with? Are you ashamed to tell me?

Amen! When Paul uses the term "justified" he is referring to the legal (judicial) act by which God accounts the believer as righteous. (Romans 3:28; 4:2-3; 5:1) James, however is using the term "justified" to describe those who would show the genuineness of their faith by the works that they do. (James 2:18,21,24) Works-salvationists give the term "justified" a broad brushed definition of "saved" and the end result is salvation by works.
In the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Greek word for justified "dikaioo" #1344 is:
1. to render righteous or such he ought to be
2. to show, exhibit, evince, one to be righteous, such as he is and wishes himself to be considered
3. to declare, pronounce, one to be just, righteous, or such as he ought to be

Jesus said, if you don't change and become like children, you shall not inherit the kingdom. I does not mean you lose the ability to understand the gospel.
Nowhere does the scripture insinuate safety. We are all saved from Sin, young and old alike.
Rom 5:18Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.

As I already explained in post #3,238, the context of Romans is all men in Adam(not just some men in Adam) and all men in Christ (not just some men in Christ). All men in Adam are condemned, and all men in Christ are justified. Do you have a hearing problem?Also, you still have not answered my question - Which church are you affiliated with?

All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory. So all men are in Adam, not some. All men likewise have been reconciled with God by Christ, so all men are justified in Christ. Christ did not die for some people but all people.

Jesus DID die for ALL men, BUT, only those who believe and born again, are IN CHRIST. The unsaved are NOT born again, NOT regenerated, and therefore are NOT JUSTIFIED.

At least you accept that He died for all men unlike some here.
