The Holy Spirit comes completely out of the blue as his word says, he’s like the wind...
They Holy Spirit... = In the OT...... this is found as.....>"The word of the Lord came to'" ..(the Prophet).
In the NT, the Holy Spirit reveals to the unbeliever, the truth, that Jesus is their Savior and they need to be saved.
The Law was given so that a person can SEE themselves as a sinner and then they can go to the Cross for Redemption, Forgiveness.
That's the Gospel., and God wants us to believe it.
This is , in the NT..
"FAITH comes, by Hearing".. the Gospel...
Its also true that "when any 2 are gathered in my Name, there i am"... So, that is an anointing that comes when believer's gather and praise God and Jesus.
On a forum, this is never found, because the Devil controls them, with Cross rejecting Theology that causes "contention and strife and every evil work".
There is also... what happens when a anointed teacher teaches and the hearer is stirred inside in a way that isn't natural.
Its supernatural, and that is = the Holy Spirit revealing God's word of Knowledge to the "spiritual eyes" of the student.
This can happen also with regards to the BIBLE. (studying).
A person can just fall in love with the word of God, obsess on it, and that is the best work they'll ever perform regarding gaining this... "as many as be perfect"..
However, that place is a slippery slope because there are may paths that seem like revelation and they are Satan's.
This is why a Believer has to live in : Hebrews 13:9, by faith, or a cult will get you.
You never know what time or day he will Spirit gives birth to spirit.
It'll happens any time the person believes in Jesus.
And it can happen anywhere.
Driving in your car.
or, in a prison cell.
or watching a Christian Movie.
it’s a reunion of his Spirit to our spirit, we are reconciled back to God via his Spirit.
Once you give God your faith in Christ, then God will give you the new birth, and you then have this assurance of Salvation.
And then the devil will come to you with a person who tries to corrupt your faith with self effort to try to stay saved.
The Spiritual birth is carried out by God, you wouldn’t know how to do that....you can’t see the spiritual birth, only after we have received that miracle, mind blowing rebirth.
Philippians 1:6
"God who started Salvation (in all the born again) will HIMSELF be Faithful...... to complete it".
The literal completion isn't to be born again.. as thats the Start.........the literal completion is = "conformed into the image of Christ" and that happens after you die, or are Raptured.
It’s Gods will that we are Born Again...how can you give him your faith, without receiving it from him first?
If we give God the faith He gave us, then we are giving His faith back to Him.
He's not looking for His....He's looking for Theirs. Yours.
There is "the gift of faith", but that is not related to salvation, that is related to one of the 9 spiritual Gifts.
God is looking for "faith in Christ" on the part of the Unbeliever......... as they are the unbeliever, who needs to believe.
They need to REPENT from unbelief unto FAITH in Christ.
They have to do that... that is to BELIEVE for the first time.
If God gave you faith, then He would not require you to believe.
There would be no need for YOU to believe, if God caused you to have faith.
He would then be believing in Jesus, through you, and that is not you doing it.
He's not looking for His Faith, in you.. .. God is looking for YOUR FAITH in Christ.
That's your choice and mine, and everyone's who will give THEIR faith in Christ to God.
God initially brings us to believe in Jesus
"faith comes by Hearing".. The Gospel.
So, its the Holy Spirit that reveals that the Gospel, is TRUE.
You believed it. and
YOUR FAITH was counted by God...
You've read in JAMES...... that a believer can have DEAD FAITH?
Paul says that your faith can become "bewitched" or "shipwrecked"
Well, if faith is something that is God given, then how can it die, or become bewitched, or become shipwrecked ???????
......God is the one who planned from the beginning who he brings to Christ....you can’t choose God.
Calvin teaches that the person is not responsible for their own decision to trust in Christ, but that God decided He would cause them to, believe.. but only some. (Limited Atonement).. = So, that means that The Cross is not for everyone, and that is a Demonic lie.
"Jesus came into the world to save SINNERS">......John 3:16.......not to cause you to realize you are born again.
"Sinners'" = is everyone, and Jesus came to "save THEM".. And everyone is a sinner, needing to be saved.
Why are not all SINNERS saved?
Its because they didnt ALL Trust in Christ.
God does not force anyone to trust in Christ., but He wants everyone to Trust in Christ.
