That upon accepting Christ into my life and becoming a Christian, I am with Christ at the Cross. For every Christian is crucified with Christ, just as the Holy Thief. And let us discuss this in PM, since this topic is about Sola Scriptura and not Sola Fide.

Well Colin, what do you think of the POV that it is the mystical union of the Believer with Christ, affected by the Holy Spirit, which incorporates the believer into Christ (Rom 6) and thus results in the crucifixion of the man's Old Man and co-resurrection with Christ? The thief was crucified along side of Christ. But the believer has been placed into Christ so that the believer was there on the cross.

I am glad to say you didn't say, "Upon being sprinkled as a baby."

I don't say it is wrong to say "accepting Christ into my life,"
but the Biblical word is pisteuō, pistis (believe in / trust / faith).
Do you actually trust Christ to get you to Heaven?
Or do you dismiss Him to the status of mere chance-giver?

Hey Nick01,

I was wrong. It wasn't Nicea, it was Chalcedon when the other Scriptures were tabled. Chalcedon came after Hippo and Carthage.

Yes - the last ecumenical council (as far as I'm concerned, anyway :P ). Though, again, I'm not aware of any substantive discussion of biblical canon at Chalcedon, though I suppose the Shepherd may have been used as a Nestorian text, perhaps. Citation?

I still suspect you might be thinking of Laodicea.
