JCB seems to think that by reducing it to a yes or no, he’s got us in a gotcha position; damned if we do and damned if we don’t.
And if we don’t play his game, and do give him the best answer possible, he does the gotcha because we didn’t give a yes or no.
No matter what answer he receives, he will continue to use it to justify his rejection of God because he has predetermined that no answer is adequate enough for him to put his faith in Christ.
It doesn't matter to them if the question is fundamentally flawed - salvation is always an individual matter - not an entire 'tribe' units. Their emphasis on repeating the same question - even when shown to be flawed - doesn't support their position well (nor all their back slapping). shows that the skeptic is not an honest skeptic.

Indeed, invalidly structured questions - to which they don't have the answer to either.
It’s a yes-no question because someone is either “saved” or not. There is no middle ground.
Now see the earlier comments, and answer them, if possible.
