    The anti-christ rejects "birth", and so is unable to be born again (slavery to sin?)

    Hi there, So I've been thinking about the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit was preparing me for the anti-christ. And the question arose in my mind "why doesn't the anti-christ just come?" (thinking in myself that I am ready to face him) and the Holy Spirit basically said "because he rejects...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Wanted to post an actual thread to discuss the words of Jesus in John 3. This thread is open to all discussion and it is encouraged, unlike another thread on the same topic. I took this from my notes I had for my mend bible study a few weeks ago. I will post in short segments so as to not go to...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    The religious people of Jesus' day complained that He ate with sinners. What was Jesus' purpose for doing this? Jesus did it to call them to repentance. He likened sinners to people who are sick and in need of a physician. Sin is a disease and a curse that only Jesus can take away. Once taken...

    John 3:3 and John 3:5 are not the same.

    Concerning being born again, Jesus Christ said: "...Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God." — (#John 3:3). When a man is born again, he will be able to SEE the kingdom of God. How is a man born again? Is he born again by receiving the Holy Ghost, or by baptism? Neither...

    Don't be this person.

    - Reader, Lets say a person is born again.... Not just water baptized and religious. This person then, heard that Jesus died for their sin, and they are a sinner needing to be saved. They heard this "Gospel"... as "faith comes by hearing"...... and they BELIEVED.... and God accepted their...

    Jesus : our Sanctification... 1 Corinthians 1:30

    - Jesus is our Sanctification. Do you have Him in you? Are you born again? So, when we are "In Christ", we are as sanctified as God Himself. = "as Jesus is.... so are the born again IN this World". Now, before you pop a cork, let me detail that for you.. Reader. Our Discipleship, is not our...

    Born again

    Being Born Again from Above. We are to be born again from above. This precept is derived from His Word (blessed be He): Key Scripture John 3:1-16 There was a man among the P'rushim, named Nakdimon, [Nicodemus] who was a ruler of the Judeans. This man came to Yeshua by night and said to...

    "Dead in trespasses and sins"

    In the day that Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, he died spiritually, and a person who is spiritually dead cannot beget a child who possesses spiritual life. Therefore, all by natural descent enter this world "alienated from the life of God" (Eph 4:18), "dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph...

    The need for regeneration

    1. Natural degeneration The need for regeneration lies in our natural degeneration. In consequence of the fall of our first parents, all of us were born alienated from the Divine life and holiness, despoiled of all those perfections with which man's nature was at first endowed. Ezekiel 16:4-5...

    Are you born again?

    Because regeneration is the work of God, it is a mysterious thing. All God's works are shrouded in impenetrable mystery. Life, natural life, in its origin, in its nature, its processes, baffles the most careful investigator. Much more is this the case with spiritual life. The Existence and...

    When is it time to leave the CULT ?

    - The time to leave your religious organization (cult) is when you hear the PULPIT teach any of these. - 1. You can lose your salvation. 2. A born again Christian with Christ in them, "the Temple of the Holy Spirit", can go to hell. 3. Water Baptism saves you or is necessary for you to go...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    He says you have as much to do with your spiritual birth as you do with your physical birth - nothing. He says you cannot cause yourself to be "born again". He says that neither Jesus nor Paul nor the disciples commanded anyone to do anything in order to be "born again". Is MacArthur correct?

    Except a man be born of WATER and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

    John 3 [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Since this is the prerequisite to enter into the Kingdom of God, I think it is very important to have a full understanding of it. While being...

    Praying about abortion

    The battle against abortion is both political and spiritual. We need to change laws so that unborn babies are protected, but we also need to pray for all who are involved in this activity. We must pray that women who are considering abortion will receive the help they need to give birth to...

    Christians are mystics - we connect with God with our hearts

    14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. 15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things! 16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!" Psalm 118:14-16 7 The...

    (Refuting) This Going 2 A Church (Building) Saves You Doctrine!!

    I keep coming across this doctrine where people seem to think just because they go to a church building that their ok with God. They seem to be so big on fellowship and nothing else. Anyone can have fellowship, even criminal gangs have fellowship are they saved? Now I agree Christians should...
