“So, I am assuming that you believe there are sinless immortals in the world?”

No and I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion.

I’ve not read the council of Ephesus’ declarations nor am I familiar with Pelagius’ position other then what you’ve mentioned here. But according to what you have claimed what Pelagius believes in I would disagree with him. I believe scripture teaches that man inherited his sin nature through Adam. My statement regarding heaven and hell was in relation to man’s destinations after death and then judgment.

This direction also doesn’t deal with the problem of justification with the TULIP doctrine.

Glad to hear it. I had to ask the question since the T has to do with doctrine regarding sin. Those who believe sin is only learned (the Semi-Pelagian position) have the logical product - Sinless Immortals. Since you believe the sin nature came upon all mankind from Adam. The next question is whether you believe God regarding Genesis 2:17 "for in the day you eat from it you shall surely die".

1) Did Adam and Eve die when they ate of the Fruit?
2) What kind of Death was it?
3) To how many of this kind of Death spread to Mankind?
