Romans 5:18 - Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.BY ONE: It took the offense of 'one' to for judgment to come upon ALL men to 'condemnation - That man was Adam.BY ONE: The free gift came upon 'all' men unto justification of life.However, to have the free gift you have to receive it FREELY with no strings attached.If you attach any strings of religion: Church membership, Church denominations, works of righteousness, Baptism, then it is no longer a free gift.Don't confuse religions with Salvation.Salvation is never defined through religions but through the Finished Work of Jesus Christ.
