What Man Ought to Believe Concerning God

Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgression?

Answer

The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself but for his posterity, all mankind descending from him by ordinary generation sinned in him, and fell with him in his first transgression (Genesis 2:16-17; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22).
