Featured Decisional Regeneration? What about today’s popular “alter call”

Please tell me WHY these verses are in the Infallible Word of God?

Deuteronomy 1:39
And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.

Isaiah 7:15-16
He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

Jonah 4:11
And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

Romans 9:11
though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad

 

Science proves your statement wrong.

Babies aren't as innocent as they look, according to new research out of the United Kingdom.

Sweet little infants actually learn to deceive before they can talk, says University of Portsmouth psychology department head Vasudevi Reddy in a study that challenges traditional notions of innocence while confirming many parents' suspicions about their sneaky babies.

Most psychologists have believed that children cannot really lie until about four years of age. But after dozens of interviews with parents, and years spent observing children, Dr. Reddy has determined that infants as young as seven months are quite skilled at pulling the wool over their parents' eyes.

I am not a great believer in man-made "science"!

 

There are 4 passages that I have quoted from, you have not shown WHY they all speak of a time when an infant does not know "right from wrong". WHY is this in the Bible, unless for a purpose?

 

WHERE have I denied that the world was full of sin? I am here dealing with INFANTS who die before they know "right from wrong", as the Bible says!

 

still does not deal with the language used. Paul only wrote 14 Epistles, and not the whole Bible!

 

Brother, it confirms scripture.
Psalm 51:3-5 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called" (1 Timothy 6:20 KJV)

While on the subject of "science", did you know that it has been proven that people are not born homosexuals, as it is in their DNA, and therefore homosexuality, according to "science", is not sinful?

 

what was the sin of Adam and Eve? It was cleary that they DISOBEYED what God had Commanded then, and had listened to the devil instead. They CHOSE to DISOBEY God. HOW can an infant do this?

 

very simple. ALL humans are born SINFUL, but cannot be born SINNERS. For someone to be a SINNER, requires them to COMMIT an ACT of sin!

 

Then Roman 3:23 would be false. And you believe the mistranslation of Romans 9:11. And you do not understand how man conceived with God's knowledge of good and evil is a sin.

 

We agree..

I would put it this way, human faith (belief) brings forth Santa Clause. Biblical faith is a condition brought forth by God. These all died, in faith. In the condition of God sending forth Son, born of woman , to give his life, die for their sins.

When I first read the OP it caused me to think this;

God said to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Why? Why, do not eat, Why not consume that knowledge?

Doesn't, to eat of the knowledge, imply, your decisions, will always be contrary to God?

 

I think you are taking a desire for precise soteriology way too far when you say that a person should not do anything to indicate that they have come to Christ for salvation. We have different ideas based on scripture and logic as to the order of salvation. But what you have to remember is that from the individual's point of view they heard the message and it is completely proper to say that they decided to repent of their sins, believe the gospel, come to Christ, etc. The Calvinistic soteriology that says the first thing that actually happened was being made alive, or being given faith or being regenerated makes sense but it is not necessary that a person knows any of that when they come to Christ. I am aware of the many abuses of alter calls - I was there in the middle of most of it. I think I have sung 27 verses of Just As I Am to the point where I was ready to go forward just so they would quit. But I don't think it's wrong to have people indicate if they want to become a Christian - if they just heard the gospel why wait.

Romans 9:11 mistranslated as "had done." Which is false. It is not to be in the singular. The very same word is also uniquely used in the plural in Acts 19:19.
