Yes, you are ignoring my question. I pointed out in post #(697) that I was wanting to know 'when'. You still haven't said. Was it when you were an infant? Or did you later place faith in Christ? All you are showing me is the 'how'. No, all the other verses you gave would have been...

That is true. For it is a 'whom' that we yield. And of course we now know no man after the flesh. (2 Cor. 5:16) Yes, even if people may being doing normal or even what they call 'good things', they could be under the influence of an evil spirit. We as believers have the Holy Spirit and are...

Yes, I had the same reaction when I was reading it. Just one of those things the Spirit of God impresses upon you when you go through a daily reading. And as I firmly believe Saul was a believer, a child of God, it shows believers that we are not exempt from the evil of the spirit world...

Iv'e been in (1 Samuel) in my daily Bible readings and have concluded that man is never independent but it is always motivated by the Spirit of God, or an evil spirit. This can be both believer and unbeliever. King Saul is I believe a perfect example of this. Chosen by God to be King. (1...

No, you are wrong. I do not hate the Roman Church, or the Catholic Church. As I have said, I hate those who seek to enslave the believers that are in the Roman Church. The papacy, the pope, the priesthood, was created to do just that. I answered your Scripture references already. Why...

I do hold to the bloodless sacrifice of Cain being a reason God did not accept his sacrifice. That blood was shed when God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins is undeniable. And that revealed to Adam and Eve that their covering of plants from the earth was not accepted. Though we assume...

Participating in a forum is not about 'identifying'. It is about knowing what you believe and saying it and being able to support it. If you want to identify go to a church forum of which you are part of. If you want to be willing to go through the rigors of debate, then step out into a...

Indeed, Scripture says what it says. (1 Cor. 4:15) speaks to Paul, in Christ, in giving the Gospel, has begotten the believers. Paul is not the one who is the father. The Father is the one doing the begotten. The Father is God, not Paul. Paul is faithful in giving he Gospel. Those of...

Yet you offer no Scripture to support your statement in post #(6). A revival of God can be and has been geographical in nature. The results of it spread out of course over many years. But the immediate revival was targeted in a central area. Stranger

I was just pointing out that Jack Chick uses pictures in his presentations of his tracts. And you like to do the same posting many pictures to prove some point of yours. I know you disagree and hate Jack Chick tracts, but they have been very instrumental in bringing many into the kingdom...

No. Paul is not the 'spiritual father' to the Corinthians or any other believers. He is instrumental as the one presenting them the Gospel by which they were born again. Making God their Father...only. If I witness to one and he believes, that does not make me his 'father'. It makes God...

That's fine. Personally I wasn't aware there were several definitions of being born-again. If you don't want to explain, no problem. A pro-slavery killer? You mean George Washington? Ulysses Grant? Who do you mean? Stranger

They are Christian. They believe the truth about Jesus Christ. Stranger

No, God is not disingenuous. God never pretends to know less. He knows all. God's invitation to all is genuine. Any who come will be saved. Stranger

According to what Scripture? Stranger

Exactly right. They are born-again through the Gospel and Paul did not baptize many. Conclusion: the new birth does not come by water baptism. Stranger

No, I don't want to assume what you like. School me Mary. You're the great teacher after all. (except on southern history) Stranger

And yet you're the one who always provides pictures to sway your argument. What's the matter? Did Jack Chick educate you on the power of persuasion? Appears so. Stranger

No, Paul is not claiming to be their Father. They are born-again by the Gospel that he has given them. They are not born again by Paul. Only God can born one again. And God does it through the Gospel. God is their Father, not Paul. Again, were you born-again? How? Why do you ignore my...

Please look up and watch the 'Asbury College Revival' of 1970. It is the revival during the drug, sex, and revolution against authority days. And many became believers out of it. It produced then what many called the Jesus Freaks. It is a real blessing to watch. Stranger
