Yes! it's how you become "born again".

I got the right scripture now. It says the truth is that if you repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit! So everyone gets the Holy Spirit "after" this! Then they are "born again"! once they have the Holy Spirit in them. Acts 2:38...

.. does God mean that you have to follow everything that's in the bible for example, the instruction on wisdom for protection in Proverbs and all instructions in any form that just because it doesn't say it's a commandment that Jesus is talking about all these instructions on how you should live...

I was just saying that you can't get peace if you don't follow things in the bible as you said you only refer to The Ten Commandments.

Ok so you read the bible first and then believed in Jesus and then after that God birthed His Spirit in you, is that right? If neither of you say that God birthed His Spirit in you 1st! Then that sounds right. I might sound annoying now but why does it say "repent first" and then 'be...

Oh so you read the bible first and then believed in Jesus, and then did you get baptized too and then started repenting and then God birthed His Spirit in you, is that right? Thank you.

@Bob Estey, I think you got it and made it clear what the Law was. Not sure what the Prophets was, but no, the scriptures I gave you was not only to get you out of trouble, it mentions you not going to "inherit or enter into the kingdom of heaven" if you don't follow those things! I would just...

@Bob Estey, also, you have in your signature about "peace", but what did it say in the NT bible about how you get peace? Philippians 4:9 4 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me -- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

I don't think The Ten Commandments is not the be-all, end-all; we're to follow everything God tells us to do or not to do in the New Testament and what it refers to that we should be like. Matthew 5:17-20 17'Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to...

I don't mean to sound rude but if you're a Christian, and especially if you're a mature Christian, you're supposed to have read the whole Bible. The verses I'm talking about are in the NT, a short book, not a long book like in the OT. you should have read all that already. Galatians 5:19-21 Now...

@Ritajanice, is it right that God birthed His Spirit, the Holy Spirit in you first and then after that, you believed in Jesus? @Taken, is this true for you too? Or did you guys study and read the Bible first and start repenting or got baptized? I just want to be more clear and not confused. Thanks.

it didn't say "The Ten Commandments" but from what I recall it did say in the Bible that we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven if we didn't do a list of things and there are things in the bible that is God's Word that we are to follow, not disregard and wilfully sin without a care; we may...

Welcome back! :)

I found out one truth in Ritajanice's post in the quote above, that "born again" includes being baptized (born of water), and the Spirit part I'm not clear. I'm not clear if it means the Holy Spirit which I think in Scripture it says that you get that after baptism, or that after or during...

there are many commandments in the Bible to follow, even the command of taking care of your body as it's the Holy Temple of God is difficult. I have transformed a lot from when I was just in the world.

Sometimes you can reconcile, get back together again but other times, if the person is a danger and can't be trusted then you don't have to be in contact with the person again, but I also experienced once like a feeling or unction like the Holy Spirit was telling me that someone has changed so I...

you're probably still a relatively new Christian, it sounds like. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. I believe you will get there! it took time for me to get there too. If I'm wrong and you've been a Christian for a long time then that means you need to go to a good Bible-based church, read...

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all things will be given to you as well". That means that when you seek Him and His righteousness first, He will take care of you, all your needs. forsaking your sins and the transformation the best you can right now is nothing to worry...

my thoughts are that forgiveness is yes, not taking personal vengeance and God says "Vengeance in Mine!" I believe that He knows we are fragile as people to take vengeance on each other so He reserved it for Himself. forgiveness is also treating the person like they never sinned against you and...

it also says in the Bible that Abraham's works made his faith complete.
