And why do you think people in this thread (myself included) aren't born again? They are. Difference is the Holy Spirit convinced them (myself included)
That is not how we are Born Of The Spirit, none of that lines up with scripture on how we become Born Again.,,it’s a testimony..,,,not the word of God.
about what is written in John 14-16 (the text you snipped, did you read it?) and glorify Jesus, the realization that Christ died for the sins of the world, including you, me and every forum member and that His shed blood cleans us from every sin if we confess them, the realization that without Christ no one can come to the Father, the realization that we are bought with a price and we are His, Jesus, undeserved Grace has become our part.
That’s your testimony, mine is nothing like yours..,
Filipp 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. And when unable -
Matt 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Indeed it is, once we come to that knowledge in our spirit, after we are Born Again.
The milk - Part One.
Glory to Jesus.
We are Born of The Spirit..I can voice my opinion as much as I like
.you have voiced yours about me not being Born Again, telling me i sin..you think reading scripture births your spirit, then think again.
God doesn’t say he convinces us to know him, that’s your testimony, which doesn’t line up with the scripture on how one is Born Again.
We need the living testimony of the Spirit coming out of our mouth, only he can proclaim that Jesus is Lord out of our mouths.,,
Not saying you or anyone else on this thread don’t have faith in God @ProDeo I’ve been told by one on this thread that I’m demon possessed ..do you honestly think those words penetrate my spirit, not on your nelly...none can take from ones heart/spirit the Living seed of God.....it’s just that yours/ theirs faith is not the same as mine, supernatural faith.which was a gift from God...and i won’t be bullied by you guys, not to keep declaring it either....
Because it goes against a lot of your beliefs..I’m here to proclaim that God is Alive in Spirit, he’s not dead...plus he’s not contained in a Bible...
We are Born Of God , His seed remains in us.
1 Peter 1
King James Version
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
