Grace and peace sister, you got a long row to hoe.

Brother, that is the best piece of selectively quoting someone I have ever seen. I believe just the
opposite of what the Church of Christ teaches. The difference between a lost Campbellite and a Christian who has been saved by the grace of God is a Campbellite tries to live right in order to be saved. A Christian tries to live right as a
result of salvation! If I did not make that clear I apologize. Christ didn't die for your unbelief. He died for your
sins!
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures;
Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the
motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members
to bring forth fruit unto death.
A man in some remote jungle that has never heard the gospel does not go to hell because of
"unbelief." He goes to hell because he is an adulterer, murderer, thief, liar etc. He will be judged according to the
deeds he as done in the flesh (Romans 2:3-6).
The answer to the sin problem is exactly what Jesus said.
"Repent ye, and
believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). I preach the same message the apostle Paul did.
Act 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Act 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
