    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Yes you did. I had nothing to add or say, so just "liked" your reply. :) However, this verse came to me after: Ephesians 5:18 KJV 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Yes, I did write those obviously. And the original post also starts out with myself stating "I have never heard of being born twice in the spirit.". I'm trying to understand what you're coming after me about exactly. On reflection, maybe I could of written that last full sentence, which you...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Here is the original post I was replying to: Here is my original full reply, to the above post, which marks partially quoted. Hopefully you now can see the context of what I was replying about.

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I've noticed this is an important part of scripture, and Jesus' own words, which we have trouble believing at times during our walk with Him. Mark 9:23-24 KJV 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Marks did not quote my entire original post, only the part he wanted to discuss with me. My original post does not have me stating being born again twice as a fact or teaching. It was asking another member about it, who has shared about being born again twice. So I was wondering if someone...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I have never heard of being born twice in the spirit. I have no reason to doubt you on that. It did make me think of something. When I was born again in 2019, I returned back to my home church later that year to serve there again. When I shared with the pastor about my experience, he thought it...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    I think it was because of me, as I was looking through this thread earlier, lol. To your question, can someone who believes in a "prosperity Jesus" be a true believer? Is that what you are getting at?

    Perfection

    Would you be willing to share some answered prayers, and especially miracles you have seen? I have been amazed at God's hand in my life, but rarely get to hear about it from others experience.

    Perfection

    Would praying for that person be a form to show love for them?

    Perfection

    Out of curiosity, if you stayed in the Spirit, what do you think the Spirit would lead you to do, compared to what the flesh did, in this scenario?

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    My personal belief, to understanding works for one who has faith, is that the "works" are a manifestation of our love for God. For He loved us first, so can we not return that love back, which He generously gave us in the first place? One can find doing "works" as a labour or burden. However...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    That is interesting to read. I never gave thought to Jesus going through "egypt", a "wilderness", and then into the promise land. Thank you for sharing sister.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    In general, I was thinking about a those who have shared Episkopos is incorrect about his teaching of the "initial grace" which we need to take back to God, to get the "full measure". I was also thinking if his statement is true, is it shown in the life of a believer in Christ? So here was a...

    Bones

    I never noticed the connection with not breaking the bones of the lamb, for passover, and how not one bone of Christ was broken. Does this fit with what your trying to show us, @amadeus ? Ezekiel 37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I find it interesting many here feel one should not be doing any work, if they are truly "born again". Or at least to stay in a certain state. Work verb: be engaged in physical or mental activity in order to achieve a result; do work. If one is "born again", does it mean God has downloaded the...

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I've been thinking a lot about the difference in one who is justified only, and one who is in the state of being "holy". As you said, "to walk as Jesus walked", is that the state one is in if they are "holy"? If one is truly in the state of holiness, would their heart, mind, words and actions...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I noticed this while studying Romans 6... Romans 6:19: "I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness."

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Someone posted scripture yesterday from around John 3:13, "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." I would say, the Holy Spirit "clicked" a thought in me, which I hadn't connected or thought of. This is going back to...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I've been thinking about an analogy that works to better understand what you mean by the "sample of His grace". Would it be something like the following? God gifts us his initial grace. It would be like God giving us a very small plant in a pot, which we don't know what it will become. In...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Behold, as you proclaim you are a teacher of God's word, why must you go outside of the Bible to prove Episkopos is wrong? Another member here posted scripture from Hebrews 12:22 which shows Zion is the heavenly kingdom: Surely Behold, if you truly feel Episkopos is wrong with his teachings...
