Romans 5:12-19
"... so death {I read spiritual death - i.e. damnation} spread to all men" to mean that imputed sin does damn us. Thoughts? | I think so, brother James. If we try and lessen the effects of imputed sin then I think you lose the parallel of Christ's imputed righteousness to our account. Just as it was a sin outside of ourselves that damns all men, so it is a righteousness outside of ourselves that justifies the elect.
I think keeping the parallel between Adam as our first head and Christ (the last Adam) as our second head is essential to the doctrine of justification by faith alone.
