..I’ve already done that, I repented once, and i Never have to repent again...NEVER....I have been birthed in the Spirit, all of my sins have been forgiven by God...

Past sins, forgiven...Present sins, forgiven, Future sins, forgiven.....I am right before God on the evening I was birthed...I am in the righteousness now of Jesus....
I wonder how many Christians at Ephesus obeyed the instructions they were given:

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

I wonder how many Christians at Pergamum obeyed the instructions they were given:

Rev 2:15-16 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. (16) Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

I wonder how many Christians at Laodicea obeyed the instructions they were given:

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.

New Living Translation
Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.

English Standard Version
No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Berean Standard Bible
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Berean Literal Bible
Anyone having been born of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him, and he is not able to continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

King James Bible
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

New King James Version
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

New American Standard Bible
No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God.

NASB 1995
No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.


We are the Born Again. @Behold will be along soon....he is an anointed teacher...my opinion and belief.

We repent once and once only.....no more repenting for me.....I remember my burden of sin being removed, when God birthed me in the Spirit.....even my face looked different....all that sin is now on Jesus and without his death and blood... I would still be dead, in darkness and alienated from God forever...

Praise God for sending Jesus to the cross....Praise His Holy Name....all day everyday

Present, past and future sins all forgiven....but....we must be birthed in the Spirit for that to happen....it’s a wonderful free gift from God.....and only God can birth us in the Spirit.....

Yeah, that's why genuine Christians keep repenting. Failure to do so is a sin.

I don’t have you on ignore ,why would I do that...I don’t engage with you, why, because I don’t agree with your theology.

Why don’t you try correcting me?

A true Born Again has been set free from sin..

Please explain what the rebirth is?

Yeah, that's why they repent when instructed to.

1Jn 1:5-2:1 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. (7) But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (2:1) My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

You don't receive correction or truth from anyone you don't feel coddled by.To be honest I don't have the stomach for it anymore.

BTW, can you say exactly this...
JESUS IS MY LORD AND MASTER?

What does being birthed in the Spirit mean to you?

Spirit gives birth to spirit?

My last post to you, are you able to answer it?

That’s all I’m asking...I’m not looking for an argument...just the true word of God?..Many thanks.

Behold would say it's HIS THREAD !

You keep believing & glorifying whomever you choose even though you deny free will.


Furthermore I'm sure you remember me as well as Keturah123 @ WCF.

Of course I can, can you say you have been birthed in the Spirit?

Without that supernatural act from God, there is no fellowship with him..one is in darkness/ sin and is alienated from God...they aren’t “ Born Again”that is the true word of God.

You say you don’t have the stomach for it, what does that mean?

All I’m doing imo and belief is standing on the “ Living” word of God..I can’t deny his word, not in a million years, I would sooner die, than deny his truth...my testimony, opinion and belief...100%

I, Keturah wish to affirm, declare, testify to having been" BORN AGAIN " by the sweet Spirit of God. My soul, heart & mind are regenerated & renewed daily by the Spirit !
I am being transformed into his image & reject conforming to the world.
If I commit an act of rebellion against God in any action , word or thought, I confess it to my advocate,Jesus and I R.E.P.E.N.T. immediately when the Spirit convicts me!!!!!!

@Behold ....Brother, sorry I have gone off topic..all I have done is speak about the rebirth, apologies...I will stay on track from now on.

I just don’t understand why some get so defensive when I mention being birthed in the Spirit.

Ok,,that’s me done, maybe I will start another thread on it.....or maybe you already have..I will go check and see....
