The Unconditional Election Debate: An Universalist Perspective

[TedT]

To receive him is to believe on him.
.
It is then we are given the right to become a child of God.

Ahh but then that is by HIS will, GOD's grace thru faith, right? Not by our own will...so why do only some get HIS grace?

Nope, serious question that bears directly on your doctrine.
"For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit." Gal 6:8
In the verse above, who is the one sowing and reaping? On whom is the impetus of action placed?

It's a rabbit trail

You failed

It's all in your head

 

[brightfame52]

First, you ignored the fact that one must receive Christ, that is, believe in him, before being made a child of God

John 1:12 (NASB 95) — 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

plainly shown

Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
You keep ignoring this fact.

second we are not told when it is men were made children of God here

but the Spirit does not indwell untill

John 7:37–39 (NASB 95) — 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

shows your error in denying regeneration b4 the Cross

You refuse to answer because you KNOW that it will destroy your doctrine if you even think about the consequence of that verse. But go ahead, hide your head in the sand.
