True, but I don't see that to be saved, one needs to be born again twice. Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again", not "You must be born again twice."
Wouldn't "again" indicate a previous birth? How about this:

Jn 3:5
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
(1)born of water and of the (2)Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

It's ok to disagree. I won't take it any deeper, just something to consider

Yes of course "again" indicates a previous birth. Every human being has been born once, when they emerged from the womb. But to have the new life Jesus came to bring, a sinner needs a second birth. That is the "born again" Jesus was speaking about to Nicodemus. It seemed to me that KUWN had been saying (unless I misunderstood the post) that we have to be born again twice, so three births all together (a natural birth and two new births).

and the verses >>>FROM PAUL <<< that teach a saved/sealed/justified/made righteous believer can become UNsaved, UNsealed, UNjustified, UNrigteous are ?
The verses Davy, the verses :)

I'm not going into all that with you, but see Hebrews 6. To properly understand this matter you'd first have to understand about the difference why Jesus said this...

Matt 22:14
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
KJV

Matt 20:12-16
12 Saying, 'These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.'
13 But he answered one of them, and said, 'Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?'
16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
KJV

Christ's "very elect" cannot... fall away, ever, for they are CHOSEN.


So you need to get over the little fib pushed in many Churches that all believers cannot ever sin again once they believe on Lord Jesus Christ. That's a lie.

1 Tim 4:1-2
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
KJV

He should have never put it in there!
There are a few that I know of -

Translation Errors of `Holy Ones.`

Jude 14, `Behold the Lord comes with ten thousands of His SAINTS.`

Deut. 33: 2, `He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands of `SAINTS.`

Zech. 14: 4. `Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the SAINTS with YOU. (Him)`

Each of these `SAINTS` are wrongly translated.

Hebrew `Quodos` means Holy Ones and that can be saints or angels. Thus we need more scriptures to verify.
Greek `Hagios` meaning Holt One, sacred and that can be saints or angels. Thus we need more scriptures to verify.

Jesus and Paul said -

`they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with power & great glory. And He will send His angels..` (Matt.24: 30 & 31)

`When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him...` (Matt. 25: 31)

`the Son of Man… comes in His own glory, and in His Father`s, in the glory of the holy angels.` (Luke 9: 26)

`when Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God,..` (2 Thess. 1: 7)



Obviously, these errors have led people to believe that they are coming with Jesus to the earth, when that is quite wrong.

I don't understand what you mean by "born again (the first time)." The word "again" means it must be a second birth. Are you saying that to be saved one has to be born again, and then born again for a second time?
David, sorry for not making this clear. No! What I was saying is that Nicodemus realized that you can't be unborn physically. Then this analogy helps explain why it is impossible to be unborn physically, so if you are saved, you have been born again spiritually. But you can not later be unborn (like Nicodemus said) or unsaved. Once you are God's child there is no way of undoing it. I think that is what I had in mind. I am not too sure I have cleared up what I was originally trying to say. I guess I won't use this reasoning again. Thanks for letting me further explain.

Thanks so much for explaining, and no need for you to apologise. That is much clearer. I do agree with what you said in your explanation. Thanks again.

Matt & Hebrews is not Paul
Tim is c/- Paul but those verse do not teach that Paul teaches a believer today can become UNsaved, UNsealed, UNjustifed, become UNrighteous.
Can you list any >>>>>from Paul<<<< that does ?
Let the verses do the talking Davy, just list them :)

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Christ and the Apostles warned Christians about sinning all through the Bible. What you promote is deadly and damning.

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

2nd Corinthians 5:10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad..

Matthew 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

Philippians 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

1st Corinthians 6:9-10 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God”

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:3-5 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

John 5:28-29 Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

Romans 2:5-6 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds:

Matt & Hebrews is not Paul

Oh.... so you are fooled by men's false theory that only Apostle Paul's Epistles are meant for Christ's Church. That's a junk doctrine from devils, and show gross stupidity. And thus is the rest of your post based on that false theory.
