    What does "born again" mean?

    That's exactly what the scripture, Acts 2:38, says . Baptism 1st afterwhich you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So even if someone says they received the Holy Ghost before baptism, it's not possible.

    What does "born again" mean?

    Yes. If you believe you'll obey and obedience requires confession of your belief, repentance, and baptism. Not any single item mentioned will save your soul; all are necessary. You can't be baptized until you believe. And baptism requires your prior confession of belief as well as repentance...

    What does "born again" mean?

    Saving Faith must be acted upon in order fir it to save. If you have such faith as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, you'll do what he did by being obedient. He confessed his belief and was baptized. And the comment that John the Baptist made in Luke 3:16 was realized as confirmed in Acts 2...

    What does "born again" mean?

    You're totally wrong, inconsistent with scripture, and teaching error. The only way according to scripture that sins are remitted is by baptism (Acts2:38) not simply by belief as you stated. 1st Peter 3:20-21 says baptism saves us. The Lord says belief and baptism are required to be saved (Mark...

    What does "born again" mean?

    On the contrary it, baptism, is ABSOLUTELY needed for salvation per the scriptures. And it's not for public testimony. That's modern day man made-up unscriptural nonsense. The Ethiopian eunuch was in the middle of nowhere with just he and Philip. Mark16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

    Romans 10:9 — How christians shall be saved.

    You are correct regarding Romans 10:9. Confession is only one of the elements required for salvation. The conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in acts 8 confirms that Confession of belief is required. But also, in conjunction with his belief and confession of it, he needed to be baptized. The...

    Revelation 13:16-17

    Over the years I've often wondered how in the world would or could Rev 13:16-17 happen? How and what could make this possible? But not until recently, with modern day technology, has this now become not only a possibility but a reality. The few things I've highlighted make the scripture clearly...

    Revelation 13:16-17

    Is it figurative that you won't be able to buy or sell or is this a prophetic statement of what will be?

    Revelation 13:16-17

    I'm just thinking outloud here with this post, but am getting extremely concerned with what is going on behind the scenes with the one world government movement, and organizations like the WEF and UN, etc, who want total control, in conjunction with the digital dollar initiative in lieu of...

    Revelation 13:16-17

    CBDC + RFID chip implants = Rev 13:16-17 16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    Here's something I've posted elsewhere on this topic. First of all, what is the soul? Some equate it with the spirit, but that's not correct. Some think that God gives you a soul which is also not correct. See below repost of mine. The bible says you become a living soul; you are not given one...

    Born of water

    If you believe and have faith, you'll obey. Water baptism IS what Jesus was referring to and part of your obedience requires being baptized into the body of Christ. No other scriptural way to become part of the body of Christ other than via baptism. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    The spirit returns to God who gave it, the body to the earth from whence it came.The spirit is not the soul. The rich man immediately found himself in hell. Jesus promised the thief he would be with him in paradise that very day.

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    Tge question should be, what WAS speaking in tongues, because such miraculous gifts have ceased. The bible says it was a sign to unbelievers and it was in earthly languages as evidenced on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) when those unbelievers of various languages present, heard what was said in...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    The below few verses contradict JW false doctrine that Christ is less than or not equal to God Phil 2:6 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: John 10:30 30 I and my Father are one. Hebrews 1:8 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    I didn't address that. I simply made the distinction regarding the spirit, the body, and soul. Also, don't trust NDE's because the positive ones infer that non Christians are in heaven and have nothing to fear.of death. That's contrary to the word of God.

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    The Spirit returns to God and the body back to the earth as the scriptures teach. The soul is not the Spirit if that's what your insinuation was by your wording.
