    What does it mean to be born again?

    And you are having to resort to accusations again.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I'm afraid you'll perceive my answer to be criticism sister, even though it is not meant unkindly, but I'll say this anyhow. I think you probably assume that anyone who has an area of disagreement with you/Epi over certain things must not be 'advanced enough' or have any spiritual insight at...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Your flesh is showing brother. I perceive there is much sensitivity here to being critiqued. It probably stems from childhood experience as it usually does. When stunned by grace said "let's see who throws the first punch" I was thinking our definitions of punch probably aren't the same. Not...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I believe Uzzah was a living parable speaking to the church about the end result of handling the things of God/Spirit with hands/mind of flesh. It leads to death. Like the way that seemeth right to man, his carnal mind, fleshly emotions and self righteousness, leads to death. (Speaking of...

    Seems that this happened to Nabal too.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Or it could just be jealousy/zeal for the truth.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Paul was ministering and writing to the CHURCH, and a young multiplying church at that, full of new believers. He wasn't just selfishly "interested" in things that pertained to himself. His letters were inspired by the Holy Spirit....food and grazing for all the sheep, not just those who were...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I dont' think I'm anything, but I think you must have misunderstood something...that isn't what I meant at all. What I meant was we don't have to consider the foundation things to only be talking about a higher walk, if what Paul and other apostles taught is foundational. But consider that it...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Could it be the same truth but two levels of the same truth, as it were...? If so it is true on both levels and we dont' have to throw the baby out with the water. Please consider that possibility, try it on for size so to speak and see if it fits.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I agree that this is true of many in the church today, they have lost the fear of the Lord and I do not agree with hyper grace messages, they are dangerous theology. But having the sure foundation doesn't nullify having the fear of God if our hearts are right. The fear of God is for any area...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Well I think those kinds of rebukes would be above my pay grade. But I have to take what is being said about the foundational things here seriously and do consider it to be dangerous theology. Doesn't mean I hate anyone though, on the contrary I pray the Lord will straighten them out on that...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Nope, that just may be how you justify your nonsense. We need more humility than that surely.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Well I don't really know what to say sister. There are bound to be areas of disagreements, that's normal in all areas of life. We all need to grow past a point of only liking people who agree with us and disliking those who don't, and die to our emotions. Everyone differs in their...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    People disagreeing is not necessarily being a crow. Only ad hominem cheap shots are, which we have seen some of that to my dismay. We are told to test all things, and that is sure what we need to do, so we try not to mind too much when our theology gets put on a rack and picked over and...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Nope, that is not my intent. I'm not stalking anyone, I'm interested in the subject matter and trying to make sense of it all, for my sake, for everyone's sake and for truth's sake. Anyhow I think I understand you. Lord love you and finish your healing.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Brother you seem to just always stick to a pre-determined script rather than trying to hear what anyone else might bring. Like cement shoes weighing one down. We need wings to blow where the spirit is blowing and meet the Lord in the air, so to speak. I don't hate you at all, where did you...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Sister, more than once I've resisted the temptation to point out the irony recently.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Paul is simply talking to all believers, but I believe and often perceive that there can be more than one level of things in the Spirit, but each level is valid in itself.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Whatsoever is not of FAITH is sin........because it means one is walking in the flesh at that moment, not by FAITH/SPIRIT. And the flesh is corrupt. I don't know how clear my mind is this morning to try and tentatively tackle this but maybe we could say that walking in unbelief is walking in...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    No he didn't do anything. He was simply RECEIVING, from Jesus, sight to see.
