Holy Spirit Appoints Jack Van Impe to tell the World Jesus is Returning very Soon!!

[Dave L]

Well sure. Many people go to Christian Churches to HEAR about God and Jesus.

When they are hearing, and believing and following Scriptural teachings....I have heard them call themselves Christians....
And I have heard other people call them Christians.

What do you call them who are going and hearing and believing Christian teachings in a Christian Church...............BEFORE........
They have chosen to become Born Again?

Glory to God,
Taken

You cannot choose to be born physically or spiritually.

 

[Taken]

Bam do that here, and just ignore me on the other thread, ok, I appreciate the affirmation of my point
hypocrites get Cut Off, ok, hopefully you know that at least

LOL

 

[GISMYS_7]

Yes!!! There are many that think they are a Christian who hasn't been born again. They will hear Jesus say, "depart from Me I never knew you!!

 

[Dave L]

Yes!!! There are many that think they are a Christian who hasn't been born again. They will hear Jesus say, "depart from Me I never knew you!!

Believe God's Word!!!

How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!! Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13
God says==That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved..........

----------

Here is an "example prayer" if you have never talked to God..........
Heavenly Father:.........
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen

This is true, but how do you know you are born again? For me it's the fruit of the Spirit and love for God. Along with hatred of sin.

I figure that if someone is regularly attending church, attentively listening to the lessons, growing in faith and practice displaying the fruits of the Spirit and trusting in God for his salvation, then he has been born again. The trick however is determining at what stage he becomes this "new creature". For me personally, it was several weeks before going to church, (discounting two appearances at the local Catholic church which was my original identity since spurned) when I knew I was born again, although I had no idea of that specific terminology nor any understanding of the concept behind it. But I knew I was a different person when I awake one morning after inviting Christ into my life the night before. In fact, everything was different.
Everyone is different I guess, and I would be loathe to say anyone claiming to be a Christian is or isn't born again. They may be slow growers, but God has indeed given them His Spirit. All we really have to go on in ascertaining anyone's status, is their confession of faith and their testimony. And there should be some evidence of fruit growing, even if only a little unripe peanut.

But how does this show up in your everyday life? Are you a different person than before you believed?

No more wasting my time!!!
Mark 8:33 33But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."

You don't seem to be as loving as those who are born again.

I figure that if someone is regularly attending church, attentively listening to the lessons, growing in faith and practice displaying the fruits of the Spirit and trusting in God for his salvation, then he has been born again.

I don't.
I believe what Scripture says.
A confession of the thoughts of the heart, determines the point of one becoming born again.

The trick however is determining at what stage he becomes this "new creature".

Again, I do not find any trickiness.
Hear, Learn, Believe, and CONFESS or NOT.

For me personally, it was several weeks before going to church, (discounting two appearances at the local Catholic church which was my original identity since spurned) when I knew I was born again, although I had no idea of that specific terminology nor any understanding of the concept behind it.

Have never heard a scriptural reference of the Catholic Church being a persons ORIGINAL IDENTITY.

I am quite confident, it is the SEED of a natural man that reproduces a persons ORIGINAL Identity......and the SEED of God that REBIRTHS a man from his ORIGINAL Identity to his SPIRITUAL Identity.

But I knew I was a different person when I awake one morning after inviting Christ into my life the night before.

I would hope you would have LEARNED, that INVITE was the moment of your becoming BORN AGAIN.

In fact, everything was different.

Great.

Everyone is different I guess, and I would be loathe to say anyone claiming to be a Christian is or isn't born again.

Why? Scripture doesn't teach to BECOME a Christian, but rather to BECOME "Converted".

From the first Scriptural mention of men calling other men Christians, was men who were NOT following Jesus' teachings, calling men WHO WERE following Jesus' Teachings and WERE calling Jesus the Christ...were Being called CHRISTIANS, by the men NOT following Jesus' teachings or calling Jesus the Christ.

I don't see any Scriptures of the Disciples or the Apostles calling THEMSELVES, "Christians", OR calling OTHER men "Christians".

IOW...the term Christian, DOES not Scripturally DEFINE a born again man.

A born again man IS expressly defined in Scripture as a man WHO has received the SEED of God.

They may be slow growers, but God has indeed given them His Spirit.

I disagree.
You mentioned...

regularly attending church,
attentively listening to the lessons,
growing in faith
practice displaying the fruits of the Spirit trusting in God for his salvation,

Then you say...

then he has been born again

You make NO mention of the individual Confessing his belief or calling on the Lord to RECEIVE the Lords OFFERING.

Salvation is an OFFERING of a Gift.
Quickening (born again) is an OFFERING of a Gift.

When you are OFFERED a GIFT....don't you believe you have to ACCEPT the Gift, before you possess it?

Learning ABOUT the Gift, is one thing.
Practicing HOW to use the Gift, is one thing.
Notifying the Lord, one is WILLING to ACCEPT His Gift is another thing.

If a person is learing, practicing, and NEVER AGREES to ACCEPT the GIFT....

You are basically saying....the OFFERED GIFT IS FORCED on them, without them ever having AGREED to Accept His Gift....which is not what Scripture teaches.

All we really have to go on in ascertaining anyone's status, is their confession of faith and their testimony.

Well NO KIDDING! However you completely
OMITTED those Details, when saying HOW YOU FIGURE and DECLARE to KNOW, "IF" an other is BORN AGAIN.

And that was MY POINT.
You may call other people Christians,
And You may believe other people are Born Again.
However UNTIL the individual DECLARES they have been Converted IN Christ, or Declares they have Accepted Christ's Gift of Salvation or Declares they have INvited Christ into their life or Declares they are Born Again....etc.
It is just a guess.

And further, MANY men DECLARE such things, WITHOUT KNOWING what those things MEAN, or WHY they are given a man....
and then Later claim....oh....uh, changed my MIND....and am no longer that.

Well the fact is....they NEVER WERE THAT!

A man can Change his MIND all day long...
It is NEVER with the thoughts of a mans MIND, that a man Receives the Seed of God, to become born again.

Glory to God,
Taken
