HOW CAN THE CONVICTION OF & REPENTANCE OF ORIGINAL SIN BE A PROTECTION TO AND SAVING OF OUR SOUL?

AMERICA IS KNOWN AS A PROTESTANT NATION AND YET WHEN WE ASK JOHN Q. PUBLIC WHO WAS THE KINGPIN OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, WE GET A BLANK STARE. THEN WHEN WE ASK JOHN Q PUBLIC AS WELL AS OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WHETHER OR NOT THE WILL IS FREE OR BOUND IN SALVATION: 9 TIMES OUT OF TEN, WE GET THE ANSWER THAT THE WILL IS FREE IN SALVATION. THEN WHEN WE ASK JOHN Q. PUBLIC AND OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WHETHER OR NOT THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION WAS A FREEWILL MOVEMENT OR A BONDAGE OF THE WILL MOVEMENT, WE USUALLY GET A HESITATION AND THEN IT IS FREE. THEN WE ASK JOHN Q. PUBLIC AND OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS THE FOLLOWING: WAS THE DOMINANT DOCTRINE AT THE TIME OF THE WRITING OF OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, AND OUR CONSTITUTION, A FREEWILL DOCTRINE, OR A BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE AND AGAIN ANOTHER BLANK STARE. SO THEN WE ASK JOHN Q PUBLIC AND OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WHICH DOCTRINE, THE FREEWILL DOCTRINE OR THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE REPELS THE EXPERIENCE THAT ORIGINAL SIN IS SIN IN NEED OF REPENTANCE: SIMPLE QUESTION IS IT NOT. SO THEN WE ASK JOHN Q. PUBLIC AND OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS CAN WE AS AMERICANS BE SAVED APART FROM ORIGINAL SIN IS SIN DAMNING US EXPERIENTIALLY?THEN WE ASK JOHN Q PUBLIC AND OUR FREEWILL FRIENDS IF WE CAN BE SAVED APART FROM FAITH IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. MOST OF THE TIME THEY NEVER HEARD OF FAITH IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. THEY USUALLY GIVE A SHOTGUN ANSWER AND SAY FAITH IN CHRIST OR FAITH THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS. THEN WE ASK THEM, DO WE HAVE TO BE HOLY TO GO TO HEAVEN AND IF SO, FAITH IN WHAT WILL MAKE US HOLY. DO WE HAVE TO BE HOLY LIKE ADAM WAS BEFORE HE WAS DRIVEN OUT OF THE GARDEN OF ESEN. WILL FAITH THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS MAKES US HOLY? BY THE END OF THIS MESSAGE, HOPEFULLY THESE AND MANY OTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED.
