    What does it mean to be born again?

    Wow, who is gnashing at that? Certainly not me and not others that I've seen here. You folks truly are not getting what is being said. Jesus was all the time being misunderstood and falsely accused for the same reason. Need ears to hear what the spirit is saying. That means spiritual...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    @stunnedbygrace...think I've messed up the quote feature so not sure if your post will show up. "Assumed status" are Epi's words, not mine. He is pitting "Christ in us" (imputed righteousness) against Christ as our future reward, when it isn't a case of one or the other.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Cleanses and sanctifies through the washing of the water of the word......as well as makes one wise unto salvation. Also the entrance of the word gives light. (ie, it's not just instruction for outward behaviour, it can change us on the inside, break strongholds, etc.) and just to add, that...

    Except that isn't all the bible says about the scriptures.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Nope, that wasn't the point I was making. Better go read it again.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    That's not all they are for.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Of course it's not. You need to go back a bit further in the conversation to understand what I was talking about and what Epi was basing his comment on.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    No, that is just you not understanding what is being said.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Gosh yes sister! There are things that APPEAR to be contradictory in the bible, but aren't. The Holy Spirit can help us to understand....those who have the Spirit, that is, and are relying on Him for understanding and not their carnal mind. Speaking of contradiction, it seems like a...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Absolutely. Good thing I and others are not trying to justify the flesh then.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Baby, bathwater. See it all the time in Christendom. Not many are able to hold onto two apparently opposite ideas at the same time because they are held in spirit.

    You don't seem to understand that both are true.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Did there have to be a specific point????? How about fellowship, rejoicing in the truth, enjoying someone else's revelation, things like that. Never mind brother, the Lord was faithful and kind to be showing me things before you came along, He will continue to feed me and show me the way. A...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    On the contrary, I've been considering it long and hard. I believe you are on to something, as I've indicated to you, at least in principle, but am trying to sort out the meat from the bones. We are told to test all things, so we shouldn't protest so much or take it personally when our...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    People have gotten rather harsh and personal on some threads, but not on this one. Times when I was wondering where the moderators were. But you don't seem to be paying attention to your incessant accusations and assumptions towards others. No we sure have nothing of our own. I agree and...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    What I am is frustrated and disappointed.....we're never going to have the conversation about what I so hoped and waited for. Call me a peanut and a monkey and a Gnostic, it's water off my back, lol, but it is vexing in general to see how everyone here are constantly being judged and assumed...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You've apparently already made your assumptions, so feel free to keep assuming. I haven't got the time or the stamina to do much more today and start parsing through Behold's posts.
