Which is how I see nearly everyone--as being born from above as sons and daughters of God. I agree with Jesus. People are the salt of the earth.
No, that is simply unbiblical. In fact the Bible says the exact opposite.
Being saved or born from above is not automatic. Unless one is a baby or a young child, everyone needs to make the decision to receive salvation through Jesus, it is not automatic. And it does not come by going to church or being baptized as an infant.
And no, Jesus does not say that people are salt of the earth. He is talking about HIS followers, not people in general. I just posted a ton of scriptures that clearly state that the world lives by their own standards and that Christians are supposed to be different. You didn't acknowledge those scriptures at all.
