Barriers to belief

-Removed-

Branches are broken off and grafted in so I don't think the born into a family thing is entirely accurate.

-Removed-

Where does the Bible specifically say that these people either 'lost their faith' or 'didn't loose their salvation' for that matter?

-Removed-

The vine was not a parable but an illustration of the new covenant where Jews were removed and gentiles grafted in.

As jesus said who are my brothers and sisters who is my mother? They were the believers not his physical relations.

-Removed-

People are removed individually and grafted in individually.


I was responding to your born into it comment

-Removed-

Would you say someone who has 'lost their faith' and describes the Bible as Hebrew mythology and derides everything Biblical,

1. used to have genuine faith?
2. is still in Christ and faces no condemnation?

-Removed-

Sure those of faith can fall, but they will have a contrite heart, a broken spirit, and will call on God for forgiveness and will repent and turn their back on their sin.

You are dodging. Is someone who 'lost their faith' (in that current state) still in Christ and faces no condemnation? Yes or No?
