Featured What Is Your Interpretation Of Believing On Jesus For Salvation

Ok. Got that.
You can't now find any difference between eulabes and eusebes.
But you think these guys were all born again even though they were complicit in the death of the Lord Jesus.

Thanks for the discussion.

 

Uh, nobody was born again before Jesus died. Not Adam, nor Abraham, nor Moses nor any one of the prophets.

The NEW Covenant is one of being born again. The NEW Covenant inaugurated in Christ's blood. The one whereby men are made perfect.

That's what happened when these Old Covenant believers realized what they had consented to and repented. Then they were saved from that perverse generation

 

The "empowered" of John 1 is the gift God gives to both have ears to hear, and faith to believer.

All others who love the darkness and do not bask in the light are not gifted by God, and cannot believe.

Faith which is of God is a gift allowing belief.

Human faith is fallen as any other part of humankind, and cannot attain to nor comprehend the things of God. The same holds true for every attribute of the natural human outside of Christ.

There is huge inconsistency when those who want to have some human attribute of its own ability attain something in the matter of Holy and Godly. Either all human kind is fallen in every aspect of the human nature, or Christ had no need to shed His own Blood on the cross.

The believer is a NEW creation CREATED in Christ Jesus. (2 Cor. 5)

 

Amen. I agree.

 

It seems we have wandered off the thread topic. The premise was do we have to believe the right things, with the right fervor or commitment, in order to be saved. The answer is no. God must credit our faith as righteousness. Now if we love Christ and are devoted to serving Him humbly, then God may credit that faith as righteousness even is our theology is lacking. I have encountered Sunday School graduates who know all the right things to say, but did not really love their brothers and sisters in Christ.
