Your "world means everyone" view is yet another example of your inability to properly interpret Scripture:"If we don't like what it says, lets change it." Just like the word "World." you just can't believe that it means everyone, so lets change it to mean some certain persons.
Jerry has got your number and it is 0.
The following verse describes those whose faith is limited to a mental assent:
"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men" (Jn.2:23-24).
These people were miracle made believers and that kind of faith saves no one.
Now back to what I said earlier:
A verb "expresses an act, occurance, or mode of being" (Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary). And "to believe" is not an action but instead an occurance, something that takes place.
By the definition which you yourself gave we can see that the Greek word translated "believe" means "to believe, entrust." That rules out the idea that when the Greek word translated "believe" is used that submitting to the rite of water baptism is included.
Now let us look at the answer Paul and those with him gave to the question of what a person must do to be saved:
"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16:30-31).
Paul stated in no uncertain terms that in order to be saved a person must believe. Either that is true or it is not. There is no middle ground.
Where do you think I got the idea? The reason I can’t see the error is because I got the idea straight from Jesus.According to your ideas the gospel is not the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes because no one is saved when they believe the gospel. According to your view no one is saved until they believe and then are baptized with water.
Why can't you see the errors of your theology?

15.. proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
I agree it means to believe, entrust and is an occurrence but if you look at the first explanation in the definition you gave it says “expresses and act”.
But John said that is how we would believe.
Jn.20:30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Give up, Robert. You could not be more wrong. Why not attempt to learn what rightly dividing really means:

Most of you problem is with the Bible. You have a lot of trouble with what the scriptures are saying. Like when it says "Everyone" Hebrews 2:9 or when it says "All men" 1 Timothy 2:4.
Your worst problem is when it says "The world" 1 John 4:14 or worse yet when it says "The whole world."
You even have trouble when Jesus claims to be the savior of the "World" John 12:47.
Maybe you should write your own Bible. You could call it "The New Testament According to John Calvin".
Your golden calf is Calvinism.
Stupid, meaningless statement :wave2:
No, its true. Calvinism is your God. You will do anything and believe anything as long as it pleases your phony God.
Calvinism is the theology of God, and is far more biblical than any of you hacks.
