Born-Again
No one can be Born Again, without believing in “ JESUS!!...much more to it than that..God does the drawing to Jesus,God brings/us to repentance/Godly sorrow.
Becoming Born Again, is an act of God...Spirit gives birth to spirit?
Jesus said, "Few There Be That Find It" Matthew 7:14.

Becoming Born Again, is an act of God...Spirit gives birth to spirit?
A lot of people believe in Jesus. They believe that he was a good man. They even believe that he is the Christ, but they don't believe that he is their savior. Paul said, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (which is the Gospel) Romans 10:17.

Being Born of God is a Living Spiritual birth...he testifies/with our spirit that we are his children...
We must be Born Again...Born of God, by his will....not by mans will.
(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26) 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set youb free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the fleshd cannot please God. 9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alivee because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the deadf will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you. Heirs with Christ 12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him. |
The only good example in the Bible of being born again is found in Acts chapter 2. 8,000 Jews heard and believed Peter's Gospel and were born again. It was the hearing and believing of the Gospel that gave birth to the New Testament church.

You can only be Born Again by the Spirit of God...Spirit gives birth to spirit
The Spirit of God is like the wind.
The word of God is Alive and Active....only he can open one’s heart to receive his Spirit.
Anything other than God’s way...is heresy.
The Holy Spirit is present in the Gospel. On the day of Pentecost, the Gospel came into the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. You need to read about it in Acts chapter 2. There has never been anything like it in the history of the world. When Peter preached the Gospel 3,000 Jews heard and believed, Acts 2:41. The next day 5,000 more Jews heard and believed, Acts 4:4. This was an amazing event. They heard they believed and they were born again by the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38.

A Born Again is Baptised also in the Spirit and I can assure you...it’s mind blowing!!...a one time event...
Jesus had more power than Peter.
Read about being Born Again....that’s where the “ Living” Power is....a Born Again have received the Living Holy Spirit into their heart....now prove Jesus teaching wrong?
Jesus is the way....the truth and the light that came into this world.....to save sinners.....
Praise God, for his precious Holy Spirit.....

You are hung up on the Holy Spirit. When you should be hung up on Christ and his Gospel. The Holy Spirit is not the savior, Christ is the savior. If you have not come to Christ by faith in him and his Gospel then you don't have the Holy Spirit, Listen to what Paul says, "This only would I Learn of you, did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law (because you did something) or by the hearing of faith (hearing and believing the Gospel) Galatians 3:2.
