:::All you need is the ''faith of a child''. You don't bombastic rhetoric, or wisdom and learning. But pride hinders you from making confession with your mouth. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 20:33, 6 November 2019 (EST)

:::I recall a sermon one time of of preacher who said his kid jumped off the top of a bunk bed and flung himself at the teacher shouting, "Daddy!", knowing his father would catch him. That's all that's needed to be adopted into the family of God. The faith of a child. All else, wisdom, learning, reasoned argument, scholarship, is not required - and much of it merely a manifestation of pride - i.e. an unsaved nature.

::::John 16:8 says about the Holy Spirit, "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment".
::::God has a history of going out of his way to reach people. Saul of Tarsus is proof of this. Muslims who see visions of Jesus and become Christians (of which there are many[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/muslims-dream-jesus/]) is proof of this. God is seeking people who would be zealous towards Him if converted. The Bible itself says, many are called, but few are chosen.
::::So the whole "pagans are damned objection" as far as rejecting salvation by faith by Dataclarifier is unreasonable.[[User:Wikignome72|Wikignome72]] ([[User talk:Wikignome72|talk]]) 20:39, 6 November 2019 (EST)
