The blood is in the water (1 John 5:8).

It says that God will give them a new heart and a new spirit; and that He will cause them to walk in His statutes and judgments; even, apparently, as the result of the fact that He sprinkles clean water on them.

1) I did not obtain righteousness by trying to establish my own righteousness. The righteousness of Christ as it has been imparted to me has been obtained by faith...it is not the righteousness of the law by any means...for I did not obtain it by attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts...I...

Ezekiel 36:25-27 speaks of regeneration for those who are merely sprinkled. How much more for those who are fully immersed in full baptism?

There is definitely a change in attitude for those who are baptized as opposed to for those who are baptized not: Luk 7:29, And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. Luk 7:30, But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel...

Ok.

However, if my salvation is secure no matter what, as you appear to teach, it does not matter if I have "fallen from grace"...and it does not matter if I am "deceived"...because none of that can affect my salvation. btw, my abiding in Christ has nothing to do with self-effort, as I have said to...

Now, Jesus died "for" our sins; and this means that He wants us to relinquish them to Him; to lay them down at the foot of the Cross. This means repenting of them and not committing them any more. Now He will maintain His righteousness in us if we have a genuine faith in Him. We are...

Of course it's His righteousness. I have never said any different. However, His righteousness is not impractical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6, 1 John 3:17-18).

While at the same time that external list of rules is fulfilled by me since I bear the fruit of the Spirit. The venue by which I have obtained righteousness is not by seeking to obey a set of do's and don'ts... However, the end result is that the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me.

With all of the fraud that has occurred this election, the word of God would be found to be untrue if Joe Biden becomes President in January. 2Ti 2:5, And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. Now this verse is truly speaking of an issue of...

My God is not too small...He is bigger than yours. Mine is able to not only justify a man with His blood (as you will allow, and as you believe that He only does, as per Romans 5:9)...He is able also to sanctify (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and to cleanse a man from all sin (1 John 1:7)...

I also, stopped posting on this subject; because nothing presented by the opposing view was able to convince me of their pov; and I also said my piece. My only point is that if you are going to gamble on the idea that "water" in John 3:5 is referring to amniotic fluid, you are a braver person...

I admit that I have not been perfect in obeying this scripture...however the fact that I have not been testifies to the fact that there have been those who have reviled me; not in return for my reviling: but out of the blue. We have a righteousness of the Lord apart from the law that is...

But you agreed with @TheslightestID, who is contending for the opposite. Why?

Mat 23:25, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Mat 23:26, Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean...

That is a very dismal view...speak for yourself. I believe that revival can and will hit America... If you will not turn from your wicked ways, that does not mean that other Americans also won't.

@Christophany, you don't believe in eternal security?

What does it matter if they have fallen from grace if they did not lose their salvation over it?
