    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Are you saying that in a Christian forum, one cannot quote scripture. I do that because we are told that this is the way we know truth from error. If I say something that goes against scripture, not what men say, I will acknowledge my error.

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Hi teamventure, What has been pointed out, I hope, is the fact that being born again is two fold, if we don't count the blood of Jesus, Water and Spirit. God has chosen, by his blood, to cleanse us of or sin by water, and seal us with the Holy Ghost. 1Jn 5:8 And there are three that bear...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Hi John, How is it one can ignore the words of Jesus: Joh 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. Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Hi Justin, Good thoughts you have put into this question. I also believe very closely to your points, but in Matthew 24 Jesus had told his disciples that the temple would be destroyed. They asked 'when would these things be?' Later in the chapter he told them 'heaven and earth shall pass away'...

    Christians and Israel - being yoked with unbelievers.

    Hi sk0rpi0n, Welcome to the forum. I also feel we should not be yoked with unbelievers and although I feel a special love for the Jewish people that brought us the plan of salvation that does not pretain to unbelievers. We know, according to Paul, that they are not all Israel, which are of...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    Whether or not to be baptized in water is different than being baptized in the Spirit. If they weren't why did Jesus say we must be born again of the water and the Spirit. The two will make one birth. Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of...

    I have a bunch of basic questions

    Hi kna325, Let us focus on this question with an overview of the bible. Adam, a child of God, was a sinless man who was given the privilege of having eternal life, all he needed to do was eat of the tree of life in the garden of eden. There was one tree that he was told not to eat of, that was...

    Those on the sixth day are not the first Adam

    Hi veteran, You asked the question about when detruction of the world would come. Let us look at this from another angle. 1. God did did not destroy the natural world when he put Noah in the ark. He destroyed the world that Noah had known and put him in a new world. 2. The first Adam was to...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Hi teleiosis, Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Dan...

    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Hi Love123, When reading the Gospels, one needs to get away from thinking that this pertains to Christians, it doesn't. Let us ask these questions and let scripture answer. Who were the ones that Jesus came to as their Messiah? Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. His...

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    Hi Axehead, You are right about these things, I have heard them also. But you forgot one scripture they use: Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. The church has forgotten that is not about money, it is about...

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Act 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Act 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands...

    Have the leadership of the church become pawns of the Devil?

    Hi Justin, There are still a lot of wolves is sheep clothing pastoring the churches. I certainly do agree with you that one way the adversary hinders the church is to keep one from maturing. There is a great need in the true churches to teach hermeneutics with bible studies. If they won't do...

    Some people are Christians.

    Hi Peltast, We can't win sinners to the Lord by publicly pointing out their sin. That will just build the barrier between us so none can witness to them. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, no one had to point out my sins but God. I believe we must love the person, even as we...

    Explaining the baptism with the Holy Spirit

    Hi John, Don't disagree with what you have said. But I would like to add something more than Anointing. Notice in the above it speaks of 'Gift' of the Holy Spirit. When one does a word search on gifts, plural, then it does indeed speak of different anointings on those in the church. 1 Cor 12:4...

    Should Christians Support Isreal?

    All of Israel shall be saved. Who are all of Israel? Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not Israel, which are of Israel. Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Rom 2:28 For he...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    Keys are used to open up a doorway. A lot of people expect to be greeted by Peter at the gates into heaven. That just isn't the case, he open the door to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles. Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to...

    The Holy Trinity

    God - The Father, creator of all things Jesus - The Son, came as our sacrifice that we might be saved. Holy Ghost - God in us, gives eternal life.

    is the Door for the rapture about to close before 2020-Vision

    One of the rules of hermeneutics is to assertain who was the audience of these scriptures. Jesus was addressing the disciples, not us. Common mistake that most prophecy teachers ignore.
