Fine - 1 and 2 are easy - since it requires the ability to make a conscience decision to repent and accept Jesus, the stillborn (anywhere in the world) and those mentally impaired are not damned - very easy case to make from the bible.

A clone would be more difficult now wouldn’t it. What is more scary is how clones will be treated (primarily by atheists) than their actual presence in society. Yet there is a form of cloning - twins - that shows that yes, both would be in need of salvation, since both developed into humans. So too, if a complete human was cloned - that person would be equivalent to a twin, a human, still in need of salvation and protection from atheists who would want to treat them as something other than humans.

Thanks Godzilla, at least this discussion is progressing somewhere at last!

So, they would be saved. Correct?

Yes, which was my point.

Yet there is a form of cloning - twins - that shows that yes, both would be in need of salvation, since both developed into humans. So too, if a complete human was cloned - that person would be equivalent to a twin, a human, still in need of salvation and protection from atheists who would want to treat them as something other than humans.

However, in the case of cloning, it is artificially induced. Would it then not mean that the deity - God - is forced by human intervention to create a "new soul" for the clone, purely due to the whims of Man?
