    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I see sanctification in two states 1. Positional sanctification. This is to be "in Christ" and is a one time event 2. Conditional or personal sanctification. This is a day by day, moment by moment event, our personal sanctification depends on our status each moment, and can vary from moment to...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    The HS can not dwell where sin is.. so the HS can not dwell until we are born again, meaning our sin must be purged.. How is this done without God baptizing us into Christ?

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    so God brings them in, and they can overpower God and take them out? The law exposes their sin. only those under law are back into condemnation and must have an animal sacrifices to bring them back

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I remember when I came to him, I can see it now like it was yesterday even though it was over 40 years ago I can;t remember a time when I could not feel Gods presence. even when i was away from him, I felt his presence. I also felt his chastening.. He promised he would never leave nor forsake...

    then he would be under law not under grace. a person can only fall if they are under the law. Under grace. everything he received he did nto earn, so he can not unearn it.

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    it is a mystery? How is it a mystery, He told him what it was. whoever looks at him, like the jews looked at the serpent. (whoever believed in him) would not perish (in order to die you must have been born again) and have eternal life. he repeated it twice so their would be no confusion as to...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    if we are under law. your right, every sin would condemn us But we (those who are Gods) are not under law but under grace. Grace is based on Gods mercy, paid for by the Blood of Jesus.. and not sure where you get the "not legally" from. The term justified is a legal term. the term redeemed is...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Maybe you did not see this earlier. Jesus made this statement 8- the wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”...

    I disagree, our pride make us blind. and leads to sin. the source of all sin is pride (carnality)

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I did not see where you showed me in John 3 where your interpretation came from.

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I am not sure this is true. The HS has to chasten some.. the only reason you would need chastened is if you do not see your need. and pride takes over.. this can happen to anyone

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I see, Jesus was telling nicodemus his problems. Not jesus problems.. Sorry I misunderstood you Again, What did Jesus say was the cure of the problem, and the end result?
