that be a stumbling block for you. What is essential to Christian faith is that all men are sinners and in need of
God's forgiveness and redemption. I'm sure you'd recognize your own moral shortcomings and failures, Luke. So
don't get hung up on Adam's sin. It's your own sin you need to deal with.
Apprising.org: [12/29/2010] "SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN CHRISTIANS"
[without having original sin] According to the below (quote) by former
President George W. Bush Jr. from his [2010] book "Decision Points" -
The Rev. Billy Graham made a rare appearance Monday [12/20/2010] at
a book-signing for former President George W. Bush Jr. and his wife,
Laura Bush
"Some people are born Christians," at least so says renouned Southern Baptist evangelist Billy Graham. According
to the (quote) below by former President George W. Bush from his [2010] book "Decision Points". ... The problem
is: If some so-called "religious" people are simply born Christian without being "born-again" we have just negated
the doctrine of regeneration; we have salvation by osmosis ala the heresy of the wider mercy view, which Graham
espouses in the video below. However, God's Word tells us that someone who has not been regenerated remains a
slave of sin (cf. Romans 6:16-20); and no matter how religious one might be - Whoever believes in the Son has
eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him (John 3:36). ...

Excellent Commentary!! - Dr. John MacArthur Can't Recall Conversion;
[08/06/09] Claims He 'Always Believed' [no original sin?] (YouTube)
Pastor John E. Coleman of "Into The Word Apologetics" examines peculiar statements by the inimitable John
MacArthur regarding his conversion experience. The following are excerpts from "John MacArthur's Life
Testimony": JOHN: Well I always believed the gospel. I don't ever...I don't ever remember a time when I didn't
believe the gospel. I mean, it was so wonderfully modeled by my Mom and Dad [without original sin?], it was so
consistent. They were exactly at home what they were in the church. And what my Dad was in the pulpit he was in
the house. And Christ was always very wonderful to me and inviting to me. And my Mom and Dad lived out their
Christian life before me. And so, I never rebelled against it. I always knew I needed Jesus to be my Savior. PHIL:
So youre saying...are you saying it would be difficult for you to put your finger on when your conversion took
place? JOHN: Yeah. I've never been able to do that. And it doesn't bother me. I think I'm one of those kids...I was
one of those kids that never rebelled and always believed. And so when God did His saving work in my heart, it
was not discernable to me.
