Yes, you provided verses, but they're not compelling at all

byw the above verse shows that salvation for those gentiles was not of the Jews; it was of Christ. The gentiles who received salvation at the hand of Peter didn't receive it from a Judean (Jew), but from a Galilean who was not a Judean. The disciples did not consider themselves to be Judeans...

OK define unregenerate

OK define what regenerate means. I take it to mean circumcised in heart and having received the holy spirit.

You have no evidence that Adam's sins were imputed to us. There was no covenant exchange and there is no explicit scriptural evidence. Furthermore it violates the Ezekiel verse I quoted that says sons are not responsible for their fathers' sins. Even in our unjust world it is considered unjust...

It was actually first revealed to Peter about 3.5 years after the cross. Peter was, in fact, commissioned with initiating the age of the nations by baptizing non-Jews into the kingdom of God Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in...

Christ meant salvation is out of the tribe of Judah, ie Christ. The Greek word ek that is translated 'of' means 'out of' and 'Jew' means Judean, ie a member of the tribe of Judah. The Samaritans believed Samaria was the place to worship God, but Jesus said, no you don't know what you're doing...

You said "Jesus not only performed every commandment perfectly outwardly, but inwardly as well. This is not true of the unregenerate ". The Samaritan was unregenerate who acted from the heart, and Christ commended his work

I think you need to understand that there is no condemnation in Christ. Condemnation is of the devil. If your conscience condemns you for having sinned, then acknowledge it, receive the cleansing of Christ's unending forgiveness and move on not listening to more condemnation on the matter There...

But he was unregenerate because Christ hadn't died yet and the spirit hadn't been poured out. So you're explanation verifies what I said earlier that unregenerate people can and do learn of the father through the holy spirit. They have no other way of knowing because there dwells nothing in the...

In a blood covenant between two parties everything that belongs to one party becomes the other's and vice versa. So that is the exchange I'm referring to. When the new covenant was cut we received Christ's righteousness and he received the debt for our sins. Christ in us, us in Christ. In...

So explain what imputed sin is

You keep saying this without any scriptural support. Scripture in fact contradicts it. And you ignore my claim that Christ's righteousness was imputed by covenant exchange.

That's avoiding the point. How did the Samaritan know to do good?

So what you're saying is that God holds mankind responsible for Adam's sin. Not scriptural The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the...

What does this mean? How did the Samaritan in Luke 10:30 not perform his deed of compassion perfectly? He acted from the heart. Jesus' said he did the will of God, ie, loved his neighbor as his self.

How then do men learn of the father before coming to faith in Christ?

Adam's sin was not imputed to his offspring; his offspring inherited his spiritually dead nature. Having been ejected from God's presence, without perfect communion with God they lacked perfect knowledge, and without perfect knowledge, they sinned. In this way the effect of Adam's disobedience...

You avoided the point I was making. Christ's righteousness was imputed to us via blood covenant exchange, ie, we received his righteousness and he received our sins. Adam had no way to impute his sin to us. Sin isn't a substance that gets incorporated into DNA or flesh

This is simply not true. Unregens can hear the voice of God as clearly as we can. How can a person who doesn't believe in Christ hear and learn of the father if it is not the holy spirit teaching him? No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up...
