Born-Again
What is God saying here?..below...very easy to understand if you are Born Again...how do we know we are Born again?
the way we know we are born again is because we will be showing the fruits of the spirit
That is not what God’s word says..
This is all man made religious talk, imo.Galations 5:22-25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
You said Define a Born Again...who is a Born Again?
I did you will not acept it your blinders will not allow you to see and understand I have gave many many answers on this go back and reread but hits time do it with a heart for the truth and stop quenching the spirit see what the spirit is trying to get you to see
You can’t answer my question because you don’t understand them...nothing wrong in that...
I have answered your questions you just don't want to hear your heart is hardened you are quenching the spirit of truth
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
Jesus’ help of Nicodemus to believe and understand the invisible power of the new birth a baptismal ceremony can be seen; but the forgiveness, clean conscience, and receiving the Spirit cannot be seen. Like the powerful wind, though invisible, its power is nevertheless profound.
Jesus tells him that he should not reject a doctrine merely because he could not understand it. Neither could the wind be seen, but its effects were well known, and no one doubted the existence or power of the agent
Nicodemus, schooled in all the Mosaic ritual, found the concept of a new birth difficult to accept
If the rite of baptism provided the moment and occasion of the spiritual result, we should know whence it came and whither it went. We might not know how, but we should know WHEN and WHENCE the spiritual change took place. But this knowledge is distinctly negatived by Christ who herein declares the moment of the spiritual birth to be lost or hidden to God
People do know WHEN the wind is blowing; and Christ also revealed the WHEN of the new birth; it is WHEN we are baptized into Christ. As Paul said, "Being THEN made free from sin" (Romans 6:17,18 KJV), that is, WHEN we have been baptized. Paul was discussing Christian baptism in that passage, and he did not hesitate to make the Christian’s baptism the exact moment, the THEN of his being made free from sin and becoming a servant of righteousness. Coffman Commentary for help understanding
By the way..we hear the word of God through our spirit, which is then relayed to our mind....
Online source...
When the Word of God, which is “alive and powerful” (Heb 4:12, NLT), enters into the ears of such a soul, faith is born, and the dynamic of God's Word transforms the life. This is not just a working principle at salvation, but an ongoing interplay that brings growth, maturity, and conformity to Christ.
It’s a supernatural act of God....not man made religious jargon that you post...have a nice day..
