    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes and notice who is playing the game. Someone who claims to be walking a higher walk. I sure am not discerning the Holy Spirit here. Take care sister....he has some good things to say and I suppose that is just the bait for the rest that is bafflegab. False gospel alert. The devil never...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Getting tired of your constant abuse and belittling. Just can't help yourself it seems.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    So then you agree with the words of God that righteous is as righteous does, whether by works (like Phihehas) or faith (like Abraham)? Think I messed up the quote thing again... @Episkopos Well, if I may approach it from this angle, do you agree that faith is of the Holy Spirit, whether in old...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes indeed, he acted on faith, and so he received the promise of salvation like Abraham did when he acted on faith (works wrought with his faith). Phinehas will be right up there with the other OT saints.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes, she claimed that Paul was only talking about himself being crucified with Christ but Romans 6 is clearly saying the same thing about all believers. But can we expect to see any acknowledgement of this error? And of course it hasn't escaped any of us I'm sure that there are a lot of...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Amen, plain scripture, but unfortunately there are those who are simply blind and deaf to plain scripture.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Talk about a screaming sheep. Sounds like you need to take a break. Wonderful nuances the ancient languages have that better express what the spirit is saying. English isn't the best at that.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Anything someone says on a public forum is open to comment. I just can't help but notice when what I'm discerning doesn't line up with either the spirit of Christ or what someone is claiming about themselves. That disconnect tells me something. It would tell you something too if you had...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Not surprised that you don't understand what I'm talking about. I didn't attack that poster, my conversation was only with you. But i was in the wrong, it wasn't the right time or place to try addressing what I was addressing, and felt bad about it....I wasn't thinking straight, and wasn't...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes, the more we grow in the Lord, the more we are aware of our shortcomings and that in our flesh dwells no good thing. We sure weren't promised a life of being comfortable and self satisfied with ourselves. But it's better to visit a house of mourning than a house of mirth. And blessed are...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Doesn't seem that some understand what faith is.......and there is avoidance of acknowledging or addressing the scripture that says faith is the evidence of things not seen, the substance of things hoped for. Not the first time it's being ignored. Not to mention it's obvious by your doctrine...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I was thinking you might like to introduce the topic.....anyone could post though of course. Only if you were to feel inclined.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We don't have to pit one thing against the other, it is not always a case of mutual exclusivity with things that appear contradictory but aren't. But the flesh can't be crucified any other way than by faith, by the Spirit, and submitting to the righteousness of God. We need to apprehend what...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Well bring the scrips for that sister and let us take a look. Or maybe start another thread about this would probably be better. I have no vested interest and it's no more my wish than it is God's will that any man perish....yet sadly we read in scripture that many will...and only a remnant...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    As I and others have been trying to bring, we have been crucified with Christ but then we need to learn to walk in that. It's a question of what and how much of that we are walking in in real time, sowing to the spirit, not the flesh. There certainly is an aspect of growth and increase that...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Rom 3:10-12 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Remember it wasn't Abraham's...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    By FAITH sister.....those three all had FAITH. It is by faith that we are saved and always has been even before the cross....Abraham believed God, though he did not yet receive the promise. Just like Cornelius, their righteousness attracted the favour of God, so He granted those OT saints the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We need to understand FAITH sister. Faith is of the Holy Spirit, not of ourselves. We are to walk by faith, not by sight. Faith is the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN, the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED FOR. GREAT is the MYSTERY of Godliness. Knowing Christ, salvation, is much more than a mere...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I have no idea of your situation or theological position regarding being filled with the Spirit. Nobody is saved by their own righteousness....in God's eyes all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Even the devout, righteous God-fearing centurion Cornelius in book of Acts needed to receive...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I'm sorry to say that was just another false accusation in a constant barrage of them.......nobody here is speaking or coming against the admonitions of scripture to carry our cross, work out our salvation with fear and trembling, etc, that I know of.
