I see what to me are some quite odd statements and questions coming out in posts and replies where someone has decided that certain verses which, for the most part, had never had any association with the actual experience of being born again for over a thousand years after the Bible was written...

Which contained the tablets of the law, a pot of manna, and Aaron's rod that budded. Moses means "drawn out," and was a name given by Egypt. But the correlation of the vessel is noted. As far as Earth is concerned, we enter Christ at baptism, just as a man and wife become one at the confession...

The Old Testament contains two accounts of an Ark, with both appearing to foreshadow God's "Ark of Salvation." We have Noah's ark which provided a way of salvation for a remnant of humanity, and we have the Ark of the Covenant, which prefigured Christ's humanity (made of wood) and His divinity...

Hi Wesley It's a fair question or point from cjab because so many people have different ideas of what free will actually is. I always like to start with the question: What are you claiming to be free from? Your definition is the right one, I agree. Though that freedom is the result of believing...

Hey Dave. As I have shown, the new life begins by being born again and is always the result of trusting in Christ. When we come to Jesus with a genuine faith, in response, Jesus places His Spirit in us, the Holy Spirit. That's why the Gospel message is believe and be saved. That makes us one...

Thanks Dave. I didn't read the other thread and was a bit lost in the sauce. Yes, I agree.

Many have had water baptism, and still remained lost in their sins, but ALL who experence spiritual Baptism into Christ by the Holy Spirit are saved

Hey Jon, thanks for the reply. For the record, Alans claim was that there is only one baptism in Scripture, therefore, he reasoned, that everywhere in Scripture that uses the word baptism must be speaking of water baptism. He said that the Spirit baptism was made up and wasn't in Scripture. I...

Exactly, and amen. It's Jesus doing the baptizing, and the Holy Spirit is the Agent of that 'placing into'. Everybody who is a Christian did receive the Holy Spirit indwelling as a result of their faith. So we know that every believer, even today, has been baptized/placed into/immersed by Jesus...

Romans 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were into His death? Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. the act of being baptized is to be placed into something. or immersed in something here Paul tells us in...

Lets start here. Jesus is the Church. It's a spiritual body. Jesus always existed, thus the Church always existed, BUT, we call Pentecost the birth of the Church because that the first believers placed into that spiritual Body, the one True Church, Jesus. This is why it's called "in Christ" in...

We all need it, it's just that the vehicle to accomplish that wasn't available until the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. It was still a future promise. EZ. 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and...

Hey Bright If by regenerated, you mean born again, one cannot be born again without the Spirit in them. And that's always in response to believing the Gospel. It's the Spirit baptism that places us in Christ. Being "in Christ", we are born again through the resurrection, being crucified with...

Dave Lets start out with Eph. I'm happy that it says so much of God's sovereignty, but that does not prove that man must be born again before He believes. Look at chapter two, vs. 1-10. Right in the midst of explaining spiritual life to death, he says this. vs. 5-6 even when we were dead in...

Faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, translating it faithfulness doesnt change that its Faith

In Galatians 5:22, I think the idea is faithfulness. In Romans 5:1-2, we have access to that grace by faith. Ephesians 2:8 says the same thing that we are saved by grace, through faith. In other words, faith takes u to that grace. Galatians 3:3 Paul asks the question, did we receive the Holy...

Both these first two OT passages are speaking of being born again, but still a future event to be realized. Later in John it's called the Promise of the Father. The Holy Spirit. OT-EZ 36:26-37 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of...

What happens spiritually that makes us born again? I'll give my thoughts on this matter and we'll go from there. Just for the record, if I'm speaking of baptism, it's the spiritual baptism that I'm speaking of unless otherwise noted. I'll tell you if I mean water baptism. When we are placed...

Hey @Dr. Bob I don't get caught up in the water immersion debates. I follow a simple rule as far as that's concerned. OT Jews already knew of the Father, and most understood the Spirit of God, unless you're the ones from Acts 19. Who they needed to publicly identify with was Jesus. That was...
