Forgiveness and "Starting Over"

[RobNY]

If you add “not sufficient” we probably agree i.e. a subjectivist would say "his one perfect sacrifice was not applicable OR not necessaryOR** not sufficient** for all men.

Objective grace says Jesus’ sacrifice was sufficient for salvation for all men. Do you agree?

I think I’ve inadvertently stepped on a minefield by using the word, ‘objective’ or, ‘subjective’ because it seems you’re familiar with terminology about, ‘objective grace,’ etc. which I’ve never heard.

And yes, I do agree.

Grace is applied to all individuals. The gifts of salvation are available to all.

.I think I answered 1 already. A man may turn from grace.

1. Baptism forgives our sinfulness, it forgives our state of being a sinful being.

If this is the case, I don’t see why “starting over” is such a big problem. We may have been cleansed in baptism, but if we, at a point after that, “turn from grace” by sinning, won’t we have to be restored to God’s grace once again?
