Sadly, but truthfully, there is no salvation that allows for "falling away," for "backsliding." Such behavior only means the person never really had that "change of mind," that μετάνοια (metanoeeah), that saving once-and-for-all repentance--and was never saved. (Moreover, neither water baptism nor paedobaptism can ever generate a new spiritual creature or remove sin.)

The first sentence is true. The remainder is an attempt to force the scriptures to conform to theology, rather than have theology conform to all the scriptures. Are you asserting that babies are unsaved ?

Are you asserting that babies are unsaved ?

I think you must have been an infant somewhere along the line. Were you "saved" at birth?
