    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Paul says if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus. This word confess here means <homogleo> in Greek this word means to speak...

    How convenient that you stopped at Romans 10:11, why don't you let Paul finish is thoughts... Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    One receives the Holy Ghost before or after water baptism, but never before repentance. And, water baptism is for the remission of sins. Therefore, how do you suppose one gets into the kingdom without remitting sin, since you claim water baptism has NOTHING to do with salvation. Acts 2:38 Then...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Actually that should read like this... "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" If you are insinuating, by highlighting "Holy Ghost", that this refers to spirit baptism rather than water baptism, then just how does a man give someone the Holy Ghost...

    The Bible does speak of living water, but to get the living water we MUST be born again. Jesus said to Nicodemous this it is done by Water and Spirit (note the word "and"). John the Baptist preached and administered the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins... Mark 1:2 As it is...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Lets look at the verse... John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of waterG5204 and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Thayer's Greek Definitions: G5204 ὕδωρ / ὕδατος hudōr / hudatos 1) water 1a) of water in rivers, in...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Of course we are saved by grace through faith. A person can do nothing to save himself. No amount of good works or adherence to law can save him... Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Lets take a look at John chapter three... John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's...
