    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    You're putting "the washing of renewing", as if it had anything to do with baptizing anyone, and then imagining the Spirit is ever a "baptizer". "There is one baptism, meaning of course, that there is one "kind" of Spirit, etc., in Ephesians 4:4 There is one "kind of" body, and one "kind of"...

    KJV Onlyest 1611 Psalm 12:7 note, question.

    The KJVO crowd should have been corrected on this in any number of ways, but what's new? Aren't their official Tenants they follow as rules pretty much bogus and stupid in their entirety? Then, here we find a misinterpretation, even though what they are saying is just, because GOD HAD JUST...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    So, the Holy Spirit is the Acting Cause "performing the action" and the Agent Used by the Holy Spirit to baptize with is The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit 'baptized' 'with' Himself? The Holy Spirit Took The Holy Spirit and 'baptized' something? That's not the way things are done in a Cause and...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    You are 100% correct. The Bible talks about people who are saved had first came to know what it actually was like to be "dead in trespasses and sins" and, therefore, for them to correctly understand their Infinite Need for a Savior, not just to pretend they are 'saved' because they 'believed'...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    “Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?” Galatians 3:3 You say that 'starting' here means the same as if it said 'after being born' in the Spirit, but if you added those same words 'being born' in place of where the only other scripture that uses...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    12; "...But to as many as received Him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." You say that being born again doesn't cause faith. So where the...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    The Blessings of The Eternal Covenant of Grace are the same under both Administrations of the ONE Overall Eternal Covenant of Grace, as we see in these wonderful verses regarding the First Old Testament Covenant and the Second New Testament Covenant of Grace. Salvation and Redemption by Christ...

    John 1:12-13 revisited.

    So, "God Gave them the Power"/"Gave He the Power", to become the children of God, and you are just confused by an intentionally confusing and, therefore, mis-stepping translation. They used the word, "right", instead, and you ran all the way around the barn with it. Nice try. Tell that to an...

    SPIRITUAL ADOPTION, THE OLD AND THE NEW COVENANTS

    This would be "The Covenant of Works", which I sure don't see in the Bible. I see "The Covenant of Grace", however, throughout the Bible, everywhere. "If we forget that it is God’s prerogative to give results when the gospel is preached, we shall start to think that it is our responsibility...

    SPIRITUAL ADOPTION, THE OLD AND THE NEW COVENANTS

    True, Jesus is the Savior, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and He was the Object of Abraham's faith, Who saved Abraham. Abraham knew that in himself, he was nothing but "ungodly", "But to him that worketh not (again, the Lord says that Justification is not by 'works', to gain any type of...

    SPIRITUAL ADOPTION, THE OLD AND THE NEW COVENANTS

    That does appear to be how you view 'adoption', somehow, but I don't remember seeing 'adoption' written about anywhere else, as being given by God as a 'reward'. U? 1 ”What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by...

    Unapologetic Dispensational Truths - Is the KJV Required For Us to Believe It.

    Without claiming everything he's said is PERFECTLY PERFECT, this fellow below gives a great take on one of the most Astronomically Wonderful and Magnificent Masterpieces AND GIFTS OF ANY KIND FROM GOD THAT HE HAS EVER GIVEN TO MANKIND. As opposed to your idea that "God blessed us", I have to go...

    What will be the cause of the great tribulation?

    What makes you think that? Nothing? Your imagination? Or, just blatantly ADDING TO THE SCRIPTURE? Jesus made no mention of His Second Coming in The Olivet Discourse until He said that He was making mention of His Second Coming, when He answered the Disciples' question about "The End of the...

    What will be the cause of the great tribulation?

    Remarkable. You act like you think you know something and don't know a question from a statement. That's idiotic illiteracy. You may not believe this but this is the context of what is being discussed between Jesus and His Disciples, in Matthew 24, until Jesus answers their Third QUESTION about...

    What will be the cause of the great tribulation?

    Secondly, Jesus answers their question, "and what shall be the sign of Thy coming", here like you said, You have to pay attention when Jesus is speaking, because He purposely answered the question the Disciples thought they were asking, in a much different way. They wanted to know when Jesus'...

    What will be the cause of the great tribulation?

    Everything you described in your objection to what I said is what I said. These are two questions and Jesus answers them one at a time, after they asked, "Tell us, when shall these things be?", referring to the kind of destruction that Jesus had just talked about, where the Bible says "his...
