Are we allowed to ask what would probably be controversial questions and discuss controversial matters on this forum? I have some issues I'd like to get input on, issues that are making me have doubts. I would like to get some help on these issues.

The term "eternal" Son is an extra Biblical term like the term Trinity. But not all Trinitarians agree that the Son was always the Son. Such as Dr. Walter Martin author of the Kingdom of the cults held the concept as not Biblcial. While it is true the Son is arguably called the Son prior to His incarnation, Isaiah 9:6, Proverbs 30:4, Psalms 2:12, the view of some Chrstians is the preincarnate Word did not become the Son of God until His incarnation, Luke 1:35.

The old generation of Pentecostal/Methodist Virginians would work the farms as well as other jobs. They did not have the time of day to get bored with their salvation and kept up a joy and an interest in their everyday life. The pastors also kept revival going many times a year.

Pictured below is farmer I would work for in the hay field... Dallas would shout at work, shout in the hay field, and shout in church. He would also speak in tongues and run the aisles. He and his wife would operate...

Or are they already sinners when born?

Anybody know anything about this denomination that claims not to be one? I've read about them to some extent, and I think I have some kinship with some of their beliefs, although not their refusal to use instruments in worship. It seems they have tried to order their churches along a NT pattern in practices and doctrine.

Anyone on this forum a member of this branch of Christianity?

The Council of Trent was held in an attempt to destroy the progress of the Protestant Reformation; it approved many pagan and unbiblical beliefs and declared it was to be accepted under the threat of "anathema".

From the Encyclopaedia Britannica...
"Apocrypha, (from Greek apokryptein, “to hide away”), in biblical literature, works outside an accepted canon of scripture. The history of the term’s usage indicates that it referred to a body of esoteric writings that were at first prized, later tolerated, and finally excluded. In its broadest sense apocrypha has come to mean any writings of dubious authority."

Many false doctrines came into the church and are supported by the writings of the Gnostics...

I have told you what the Bible says. You have told me what you believe the Bible says but you keep ignoring facts. You said that being dead in sin is being of the flesh and then say Adam was created only in the flesh. However, you present a problem with this view that you have yet to answer.

The problem is that Adam was not dead in sin prior to sinning. So dead in sin cannot simply mean of the flesh.
I have told you what the Bible actually says (what is written in the text of Scripture)....
