***I should also note that you are making the assumption that a person who is truly ignorant of Jesus is by definition a reprobate.***

No. Allow me to speak for me.

You just said that those who sincerely look after God in ignorance were a NULL SET? Remember?

Aren't those ignorant of God reprobates, then? I mean, this whole thing started with the idea of salvation being possible for the invincibly ignorant. Your argument then is that the invincibly ignorant are not saved. Which means they are reprobates. Where have I misstated what you have said?

First, I don't use the term invincibly ignorant. That's your term. Second, none seek after God apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit convinces of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Holy Spirit regenerates. But the Holy Spirit regenerates those who embrace Jesus as savior.

John 1:12 "But as many as received him [JESUS], to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [JESUS]."

No "except..." here either, SD.
