You are still avoiding answering the question; but the passages you did produce do put "saved" in the past tense since the word "should" is used. Now you want to start talking about "being born of the Spirit." On that score also, I doubt you can make a real claim.John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That is Jesus answering Nicodemus on how one is born again of the Spirit which was to take place after His ascension for all those who believe in Him.
I understand your point of view because of the works of Catholicism has tainted your reading of the scripture, but you can always pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for help just to make sure you are reading it with His eyes. When you have the Holy Spirit in you, brother, that means you are saved.
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.... 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Since Jesus Christ is the Good news to man; I have to declare that the works of Catholicism is not Good News at all, but a thief of His glory as Savior. Indeed, all a Catholic can really say that Jesus might be the Good News because it is on them to get saved and keep themselves saved.
Not sure how Catholicism does not look like other religions in the world where the emphasis and hope is on them to make themselves good and to do good. That is why the gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News and why I can say that He is Good News and He is my Savior because I am saved.
Can you move like the wind? If not, then I do not believe you have been born of the Spirit. Perhaps you have been born of water, but not of the Spirit.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Ezekiel is called "son of man" and he could move like the wind.
It seems doubtful to me that anyone who has not yet had spirit, soul and body divided by the Living Word still stands in some confusion about what flesh is and what spirit is. He has not yet been born of the Spirit then.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
For the record, I am not a Catholic.
