What are some examples of factors?

I agree that children (babies, toddlers) are innocent because they don't have the law, and ... sin is not imputed when there is no law. Romans 5:13 (KJV)

I don't understand the question.

I'm not clear regarding the thread title and opening post. You describe a person going from normal mental capabilities and then loosing them. Are you asking if they still have a will?

No, I'm saying that the will never changes. The will (as a choosing mechanism) is part of our anthropological make-up from creation. It doesn't change before, during, or after an unregenerate becomes a regenerate. It doesn't change before, during, or after a person dies and goes to heaven or...

Eternal life is a gift that a person receives all at once in this life. It's free, paid in full by Jesus' work on the cross. You receive it by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. You go from not having it to having it in a moment.

The will (as a choosing mechanism) doesn't change, but the choice options that God submits to the will do change. To the unsaved person: the choice options submitted to the will are to accept or to reject Jesus as your Savior. To the saved person: those 2 choice options are no longer submitted...

Either/or is the man-made popular propaganda. As a "theory", it fails the test of Scripture: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Tim 1:15 (KJV) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me...

You're describing sinners. That's all of us, unsaved sinners & saved sinners. I see no occasion in the biblical account to blame him for his wife's choices.

Eternal life is the free gift of God, paid in full by Jesus on the cross. It's God's preservation of the saved that keeps the saved saved.

Actually the strife was between their herdmen. It was Abram's idea to separate. The separation seems to have been cordial. Lot agreed with the proposed peaceful solution. There was nothing wrong with choosing a well watered plain - that, in itself, was a good business choice. The text...

Maybe I'm not understanding your question.

Unincorporate yourself (Come out of her, my people Rev 18:4), then reincorporate yourself. (where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt 18:20)

To "say" one is saved means nothing. Anyone with a mouth on the front of their head can do that. But if someone IS saved, they're saved for eternity whether they give in to worldly lusts or not.

Amen.

Of course they can. That's why the NT is full of admonitions not to.

"the love of the Father is not in him" doesn't mean "not saved". This passage is an admonition to saved and eternally secure people.

Wrong. Faith in Christ comes by hearing the word of God, and it's available to everyone.

Faith in Christ comes by hearing the word of God, and it's available to everyone. No you don't.

That's a bunch of antibiblical nonsense.
