Why be sorry? But where do you read that a hard heart will hear nothing? Did Pharoah not hear the words of God from Moses? Of course he did. He just chose to reject them. There are people everyday that hear God's words, they just choose not to receive them. But I have to ask. Do you...

He believes that there is one God. He obviously does not believe in God. Nor does he repent or confess Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that...

Why should I answer your questions when you won't answer mine?

When you post scripture that says that we must be born again to believe in God, then we can continue. But there is no such scripture.

You have NEVER posted any scripture that says that one must be born again to believe. How do I know that? Because there is no such scripture. If you think there is, then post it and we can discuss it.

I repeat -- you don't have any scripture that says that you have to be born again to believe. OK, that is just what I thought.

So you don't have any scripture that says that you have to be born again to believe. OK, that is just what I thought.

Where does it say that? Scripture please.

What does that even mean?

I obeyed the gospel.

Born again (regeneration) and forgiveness of sins (justification) are two different acts of God that happen at the exact same instant in the life of the believer.

Born again (regeneration) and forgiveness of sins (justification) are two different acts of God that happen at the exact same instant in the life of the believer.

No, God does not forgive sins "via" the Holy Spirit. See passages like Matthew 6:15 and many others.

No, I said forgiveness of sins and regeneration are not the same thing. Born again and regeneration are the same thing. Under the New Coventant the forgiveness of sin is essentially the same as justification which is different from regeneration. Salvation consists of justification...

The atonement, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, accomplished more than just forgiveness of sins. The sacrifice of sin offerings under the Old Covenant provided for forgiveness of sins. The baptism of John the Baptist was for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus, personally on occasion...

Actually, that is not true. Being born again is regeneration. But strictly speaking the forgiveness of sins and regeneration, while they both occur at the same instant in the life of the believer, are not really the same thing.

The real question is what it means to you. Clearly if you are not a Christian, then, by definition, you are not a follower of Christ.

All truth is contained in God's word given us through the apostles and prophets by the direction of the Holy Spirit. There is nothing more that you need to know. God didn't cut the message short so that He would have to add to it when you got here. (ESV) Eph 1:13 In him you also, when you...

I understand what you are talking about perfectly.

You think the declaration of challenging every post of mine is not getting personal? What a joke.
