Teaching on Calling on the Name of the Lord

Not you.

As is your way, you attempt to put words in my mouth, you launch into a strawman argument (*which you believe is "part and parcel" of this sort discussion setting), and wildly deflect from the topic. In this case, again, you don't know what you're talking about.

But Ohio is sooooo right. This post explains a lot. You do need a new name. To be "evangelical" you need to be able to share the gospel in a clear and accurate way and actually lead someone to the Lord. There are red flags all over your post.

Since you admit your fondness for the strawman argument, can we ever trust that you sincerely want to discuss the topics presented on this forum, or are you just another troll...out baiting your traps?

Nell, now you are more or less blaming me for not responding according to your religious and manmade concepts about how I should respond to the question. Shame on you. How can you preach the gospel if you expect people's responses to conform to your template?

I did not say "I don't know" because I do know and I just told you before.
I told you I was saved before or by the age of accountability, age 0 to 5. I know when I was saved, I just told you that.

I believe I was saved around age 5, but I know I would have gone to heaven if I died before that. So I was saved from birth.
If I am wrong, then can you please tell me at what age between 0 and 5 I was unsaved i.e. going to hell if I died. <-- that's not a strawman argument, that's to make you think how you sound by not taking me at my word that I was saved by the age of accountability.

Good to know you are confident of your salvation. That's really what we wanted to know. Straight answers are not your strong suit. I don't need your assistance identifying a strawman, but thanks.
