“rather than being saved while comatose”.??? Do you really need to go there? Are we having an intelligent discussion between saved brothers or not?
Indeed we do need to go there, as the case against Peter included that "repentance unto salvation is preached" by him.
And which was not directed toward the nation at large to repent, but to the audience and all, for such did the Lord command:
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39)
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:19)
But if conversion excludes making any response of repentance, that of confessing one's justifying faith in the Lord Jesus, which faith-confession baptism is (versus the act saving one or otherwise earning justification), then salvation must occur when man cannot make any choice.
But both Paul and Peter preached repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus who died for us and rose again, as has been shown and will be.
Tomorrow, by God's grace. Have a God night again.
