In the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son (Luke 15), Christ taught that:
1. Before the sheep got lost, it was in the sheep fold with its shepherd.
2. Before the coin was lost, it was with its owner.
3. Before the son went lost, he was at home with his father.
So with us all. We did not start life already lost. And to be born NOT lost is to be born in Christ, the ONLY Way. Sadly, we all like sheep went astray (Isa 53:6). Hence, we are enjoined to repent (Luke 13:3, 5)...
Hence, the doctrine that people are born in sin is diametrically against the teaching of our Lord...
