Ok...Praise God for his Living Holy Spirit...which still blows my mind after 32 years of becoming Born Again...God Bless, Brother,xxI didn't state that its all the same experience for everyone.
Some Cry, some fall down, some dont even really feel anything.
But, the ACT of the regeneration of the Spirit, = is alway the same Holy Spirit of God, causing it.
We are all born again the same way.........by the Spirit of God, and not by water as the "cult of Mary" falsely teaches.
We are all born again "by my Spirit, sayeth the Lord".
I didnt say you could read it.
Ive no idea what you are talking about.
We BELIEVE in Jesus...., and our "faith is counted (by God) as (Christ's) Righteousness.
Preachers like me.... preach the Gospel so that people can hear it, and believe it.
Real Preachers preach "Paul's Gospel" that is "The Gospel of the Grace of God".
A.) "Faith comes by hearing".. and that can be many ways you hear it.
For example, ive a friend who was born again, when watching "Jesus of Nazareth" the movie.
She came to the knowledge that Jesus is the Savior, and she needed Him.....while watching the movie.
= BELIEVED..
So, that is not the same as me preaching to a group, that "Jesus is virgin born, and died for your sins, and all that call on the name of Jesus shall be saved"..
So, that is the """Preaching of the Cross"",...... but my friend didnt hear it......They Watched the Jesus of Nazareth Movie and that was over 40 yrs ago.
They are still "happy in Jesus".
Now my Brother, (eldest), was a devout sinner., until he was about 40. . He was into the world... deeply lost.
And his life just sort of "bottomed out"..
He was suicidal..
He was riding around in his car one Saturday morning, about 6am, and pulled into the parking lot of a small church and the Pastor was there...
My Brother told Him .all about his "Life" situation... and the Pastor listened and finally told Him...
"""You've run out."""
"""You're ended....its at the end.. ."""
And the Pastor invited my brother to get on his knees in the office for Prayer and He did.
They both kneeled.
The Pastor led Him to Jesus .
My Brother later became a Pastor.
My Younger Brother, is a Missionary to the Ukraine., He and His wife., for over 25 yrs.
He was about 7 yrs old, when He ""received Jesus into His heart"""..... So, with a child'd mind, He did this...
I dont think he had any "theology" in there yet....
No need., as Salvation is not about Theology, its about Jesus, as Jesus Is Salvation.
Right now, he's still a missionary, and so is His wife whom he met on the Mission Field, and so were their 3 Daughters, until They were sent into the States , to go to College. in the last 4 yrs.
Being born again can eventually occur by reading a Jack CHICK Tract.
That is how i first learned about Jesus, when i was about 5 yrs old.
I found this Tract laying on the ground, in front of a Post Office.
I read this CHICK Tract, and it never left my heart, and when i was older, that seed planted by that STORY in that TRACT, .. entitled....
= "This was Your Life".
God watered that seed.. and i was eventually born again.. years later.
I'll post a pick of the Tract, at the bottom of this Post.
Yes i know.
Only the Holy Spirit can "regenerate"...... yet Catholics teach you are "Born again BY Water".. which is a lie that billions of them believe.
