First of all, I did not correctly spell "exegesis" so my apologies.
SaulToPaul is so confused that he actually thinks that Paul addressed these words to unsaved people:
STP says that at the time Paul wrote these words to the church at Rome all those in the church were unsaved.
Somewhere down the line SaulToPaul's mind was derailed in regard to theology and he lost all touch with reality. He clings to the irrational idea that Paul would tell the unsaved that they are "joint-heirs with Christ" and they will be glorified together with Christ.
Not only that but there is more than one comrade of his on this forum who shares his view, proving that people like this will always be around:
At this point I have concluded that all I can do to help these poor souls is to pray to the Lord to give them an understanding of the truth.

"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Ro.8:15-18).

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Tim.4:2-4).
