Does God desire the salvation of all mankind?

It's a bit more nuanced that that

Romans 10
9If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

It is a lot more that just believing in your heart -------anyone can say they believe in their Heart -----believing here is much more than just saying you believe ------

First off you need to confess or declare with your mouth ----this is confessing or speaking out your Faith -----Faith requires action and by speaking your releasing your faith -------also I think the AMPC Bible gives you a better understanding of what belief is here ------

AMPC
Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Anyone can believe ---even the demons believe that Jesus is lord ------anyone can say they believe but not Trust In or rely on Jesus ------and many read the Scriptures and say they believe some of the scriptures but not others ------so relying a half truth is not relying on the whole truth -------

So to be saved is confessing with your mouth out loud ----and adhering to ---trusting in and relying on the truth ------that Jesus is Lord and that He was raised from the dead -------

grace to you, and peace

Calvinists in no way believe one has no need of faith in Jesus to be saved. so you see, you really don't understand Calvinists. a good way to rectify this would be to go to the Reformed to be told what it is they believe, don't you think?

will you be so kind as to explain what you mean when you say none of them are saved?
thank you

I might be mistaken, but it sounded like you were stating that the natural man can invite Jesus into his heart. Did I misunderstand you?

I attempt to try to explain every scripture that you send my way, unlike some on this forum. Col 1:27, says that Christ is in us, the hope of glory. Jesus as a three in one God, also dwells within us, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

You have yet, to give me a scripture that states that we have to invite Jesus into our hearts to be delivered eternally.

Where does that say to invite Jesus into your heart?
The passage you are quoting is Paul telling the Ephesians about his pray for them.

it’s true jacob was given a new name , Abram was given a new name the hier of Adam also wasnt abel but Seth. What does that have to do with no difference between Jew and gentile in Christ according to judgement ?

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; ( forgive them they don’t know what thier doing )

but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

you didn’t answer but evaded ? That’s good Info but

‭‭Acts‬ ‭17:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

…“in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile

; but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

for there is no respect of persons with God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:6-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery, which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:3, 5-6‬ ‭

Because they rejected Jesus the messiah sent to save Israel and condemned him to be crucified , gentiles and Jews are Now the same

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:10-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The fear of God causes repentance and co side ration of one’s own self it comes when we acknowledge our own eventual time so we want to hear from and follow Jesus ways he said will save our souls “ treat one another like you actually love each other “ sums up his word and is all that’s truly needed

“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:10-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I’m old and still it’s never changed

Jesus does by his word is my point he also says who is saved or not saved by the gospel he sent to all

No. The question is "Do you personally believe what Paul said in Romans 1:16 -- that "THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION"? Do you believe that "the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12)? Do you believe that when the true Gospel is preached from the Word of God, the Holy Spirit is right there to convict and to convince everyone? Do you believe that this is precisely why the Lord Jesus Christ commanded His apostles (and the Church) to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to "every creature"? "Every creature" is a "natural man" before they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is given only to those who repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38).

No offense taken feller God loves us all and calls us by the same word

I don't believe I used the literal term to INVITE Christ in but I did use and relate what Revelation 3 states that we must OPEN THE DOOR for Him to come in.

You can twist Scripture as you choose but it clearly states Christ lives in our Hearts.

And I have always used Revelation 3 that specifically claims we must OPEN THE DOOR FOR JESUS TO ENTER INTO.

Exactly lol

My earliest memory is sittin in my mamas lap and daddy readin the bible in candlelight and that was my childhood evening before bed eventually of course I was not in her lap but I was always taught " this is what Gods word says " so I can't ever remember a day I became saved I can remember to about 5 years old but I think my mama and daddy just fed me gods word


Was a different world" up hill both ways" you know in" three feet of snow barefoot "

I was saved after an extremely sinful 38 years.

It's a bit more nuanced that that, but yes.

John 12
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

Romans 10
9If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
