Here is a few more questions.
This is a focus on what happens when we are born again.
1. What becomes 'new' ??? From with-in when accepting the death, burial, and resurrection - a new creation is made, a new spiritual creation and the the new spiritual creation is different than the natural spirit of Man. Where by the natural spirit of Man we understand the world around us. When being born from above a new spiritual nature has become active from being previously dead to the spiritual. This is what is new, now though we live in our flesh and understand the flesh and the world around us by the spirit of man, you now have a new created spiritual man or woman with-in your heart where God is now starting to work on your heart and mind as you allow him to by your free will to choose to pray, and seek God in faith.
2. What happens to our sin from that point on ???
All sin was paid for on the Cross. - Sin is missing the mark, all human beings miss the mark, Jesus on behalf of the world paid for all humans missing the mark - so Sin? That was taken care of when he died on the cross, once and for all people, then he was buried, and resurrected.
3. Is our salvation 'recorded' ??? That is a good question, but one should know that their salvation is in Christ Jesus,... I believe there were people who were written in the book of life (and waiting for the arrival of Christ in their day in time) - which dealt with the nation of Israel, and there were people already written in the book of life according to what some of the letters mention. A good bible study would be looking up the book of life. You can know you are participating in the born from above experience when you are praying in your heart to God, and asking God to help you and guide you by the holy spirit.
I could be wrong but this just my view.
4. What is our new spiritual status ??? There are two states, the first status is Children of God being adopted by the Father in heaven. The second status is suffering for Christ Sake - becoming a Son or Daughter of God. (Growth from a seed to a tree - from a child to an adult mature in faith).
5. What keeps us saved ???
Continuing faith in Christ, looking towards him every day, minute by minute, hour by hour. In his death, burial, and resurrection. Drink my blood, eat my flesh Jesus said.
Hard to do, but that is to accept his death, and to follow what he had shared and showed us which was the way, the truth, and the life.
6. Should we be immediately baptised ???
Water baptism is cool. Those who are born from above, are baptized by Jesus when they accept in their heart they believe by faith in which Jesus Christ had done which was to reconcile all of us to God and we can have relationship with the Father and pray to the Father in Jesus name, asking for help by the holy spirit/spirit of Christ.
7. What does baptism achieve that being born again didnt ???
They are one in the same to me. Water baptism the natural part which the spirit of man/woman understand doesn't do anything, but the one who believes in the heart, they become baptised by the holy spirit and fire according to what John the baptist had stated.
