Acts 11:16 (KJV) Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
1 Peter 1:23 (KJV) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Ephesians 5:26 (KJV) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (1Co 2:11-14)
I grew up in a Spanish community engulfed in the lies of Rome. Many had been baptized in the RCC as infants. Were they born again? Gangs, Cholos, Patchukos, prostitution, drive-bys, Molotov cocktails, drugs. etc. etc. Is this your idea of the one true Church? Not once had I been witnessed to during those years by a RC about the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus
What a joke. Keep your false beliefs.
