Darrin,

You ask me not to quote scripture and prefer opinion and have implied that there are different meanings for every individual.
I cannot agree with you and must quote scripture again to show one instance of why.
2 Peter 1:20
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

What you are preaching is definitely another gospel that the bible warns against. The reason is, you are giving an opinion that all people are saved. This is not the case. Jesus spoke more of hell than anyone else in the bible. He drew a very clear line....
Jesus is the way to heaven______ Denying Jesus's sacrifice is the way to hell.
Your brand of the gospel is erasing that line, you are not presenting both sides of God's word where He is showing His mercy and His judgment. Your words would indicate that every one already possesses the Spirit of God and I have posted what clearly shows from scripture that they do not. You responded with systematic what if's. Again 2 Peter 1:20 applies.
The gospel you are preaching leads people along a broad path directly to hell. Salvation is only through receiving Christ's free gift, not by any good works or recognizing what is already within us. You are preaching what the bible condemns.
I hate no people of a denomination and must obey God's command to love my neighbour. I do hate what some people and institutions preach. I do know that there are Christians in the Catholic institution but I also know that that institution will be responsible for the spiritual death of untold millions. There are approximately 1 billion catholics in the world today that are taught contrary to scripture just as you were.
Regarding unbaptised babies Jesus said regarding children, "their angels always behold the face of the father." They have a special place in God's eyes and are not accountable as someone who hears the gospel and rejects it. For the same reason I believe that people of limited mental capacity are like that child, we are even told in the bible to not think of ourselves but to care for the infirm.
Darrin you are still caught in a lie as you were in catholicism. You are not preaching according to the bible but according to Darrin and a New Age philosophy or Old Age as you called it. If you are relying upon something that calls itself Christ that you claim to have discovered already inside of you, then you are relying upon your own works and a false gospel.
You are in need of repentance and must turn to Jesus and literally ask Him to save you. Without that, as in the scripture I posted to you earlier, you will die in your sins.

In Christ,
John
