No, it is not Spirit birth; it is spirit birth. It is not the Spirit that is born and reborn, it is our spirit that is first born at our physical birth, or at our conception and then reborn when we believe in God, i.e., have faith in God. Col 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in...

That is not the typical meaning of the phrase, "Once Saved Always Saved". It is usually in the sense of Romans 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation...

Theologically, in relation to salvation, the term “grace” has three basic connotations. It can refer to the gift of salvation, that which is given; it can refer to the system of salvation, the manner in which the gift is received; or it can refer to that attribute in God’s nature that makes it...

Nonsense. We are saved by grace through faith and we stay saved by grace through faith. What do you mean by "accepted your FAITH"? If you no longer believe in God, by definition you have no faith, there is nothing to "accept". Only those who believe in God will be with Him in heaven.

That describes the condition of the parents. Nature is not a sin. Clearly, that is figurative, not literal If that is the case, then it is God's fault, not the fault of the individual. God is the only one who could impute uncommitted sin to the one being conceived. You should read Ezekiel...

Then why doesn't He do it?

Luk 18:15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Luk 18:17 Truly, I...

1 Corinthians 15:22 is not speaking about being born again. Rather the subject there is the resurrection at the end of the age when Christ returns. In Adam and in Christ are both universal references. They apply to every human being, past, present and future. Both the good and the bad will...

So your view here is that Jesus was unable to communicate effectively with Nicodemus. What absolute nonsense. I suspect that Nicodemus, after speaking with Jesus, had a lot better handle on what Jesus told him than you have even now. The idea that Jesus could not effectively communicate with...

None of this is Biblical, it comes from your own understanding. No matter how much you want it, God is not speaking to you in any sense other than through the written word. Your concept of the "living Word" is just wrong.

The Word that Ritajanice is talking about faith coming from is not God's written Word; rather it is the "Living Word" that she hears and thinks comes directly from God to her which she then uses as a basis for her interpretation of God's written Word.

Are you telling us here that as a child you had faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God, but then sometime later you lost that faith or gave up that faith and thus you needed to become like you were as a child and believe in God once again? Is that what you think? If so, I don't know where you...

God didn't change; He just changed what He was doing.

Perhaps you could choose to study so as to hope to see what God has said through His prophets and apostles by divine revelation of the Holy Spirit. Act 2:43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. Act 5:12 Now many signs and wonders...

Mat 18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Mat 18:2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them Mat 18:3 and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom...

You need to read and study carefully Chapter 10 in Paul's letter to the Romans; particularly Rom 10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? If God is...

I wouldn't call you a liar or anything like that, but I don't find anywhere in the Bible that God says that.

How can you possibly say that you "believe in God" if you do not do what He says? If there is a message in the OT, it is the lesson of what importance God attaches to obedience. That message does not cease with the NT.

quietthinker, You have to forgive Ritajanice. She thinks that God is speaking directly to her personally and therefore anything she thinks God is saying must be true. Thinking that God is speaking directly to them personally is one of the most dangerous beliefs that one seeking God can...

All five of the doctrines being represented by TULIP are hotly contested, as well they should be, beginning with the concept of Total Depravity. That doctrine posits the condition that the spirit of man created by God is dead in trespasses and sins at the very outset at the individual's birth...
