You have no problem with Adam condemning the whole world, you believe that Adam and Eve's act of rebellion condemned every person born thereafter. Even before you or I sinned, ADAM condemned us. ONE man caused ALL to be condemned.
But you reject the truth, that JESUS' selfless ONE act of righteousness has as far reaching power and effect. Well, you are wrong, your repentance, all your righteous acts are filthy rags!! But the finished work of the cross has completely reversed the damage Adam did, whether you believe it or not.
I Cor. 15:21-22
For since death came through A man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through A man. FOR as in Adam ALL die, SO in Christ ALL will be made ALIVE.
I put my faith in Him, instead of all the religious dogmas and doctrines of men that 25,000+ religions can spew out. A weak watered down gospel has led to the cultural failure we see in the world today.
If you cannot acknowledge the inclusive scriptures in the Holy Bible, you are blinded by your beliefs, against the far reaching effects of the gospel. The scriptures that you post may be the appropriate response to the gospel but not the saving part.

No one is not acknowledging the scriptures which you posted, we are just not acknowledging how YOU use them.
Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL of my Father which is in heaven.
So, with that being said, how can Jesus make this statement in light of your belief?
Isn't the verse talking about taking action in willingly following the directives of someone to enter the realm?
Again, CJ you are not allowing what you believe about scripture to interpret scripture? Or you just built a doctrine on the word "all?"
