Which is why you are wrong.

Where have I ever said any different? But I would ask you what the difference is in the condition of the spirit before and after regeneration. What did God do to bring about that difference?

The condition of our spirit before regenerated....it’s dead silly.....our spirit is brought to life by God.

We are dead and still in sin before regenerated..you know that right?

Do you think you bring your own spirit Alive in Christ?
I didn't say anything about "our head knowledge". You are the one claiming special head knowledge.
Yes you did..I will post what you said..when I scroll up and find it.

How do you hear his word....by the Spirit and his word has to what...........by the Spirit of God?
By hearing someone preaching from God's word or by reading God's word. There is no other way.

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);
Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."
Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
Rom 10:13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Rom 10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

You cannot choose to be Born

FALSE.
I was OFFERED a WAY to become Born Again….
I TOOK God Offering, of Becoming MADE Born Again into FOREVER LIFE with Him, according to HOW the one who OFFERED, revealed HOW to Take, Have, Possess His OFFERING.

Adam was OFFERED, FOREVER LIFE.
Adam was PUT in a Garden.
In the Midst of the Garden was the Tree of Life.
Adam was OFFERED that Tree, even TOLD that was for Him to freely Take and Eat of that Tree and He would LIVE LIFE without Death.
Adam DECLINED. did not CHOOSE to TAKE from that TREE, Eat and Live without Death.
Adam Chose to Take and Eat of the Tree of Death.

You are preaching man does not CHOOSE Life….
In essence rather as God should have reached out His hand, Taken from the Tree of Life and stuffed the fruit thereof in Adams mouth (without Adams’ consent), and held his mouth shut, until Adam swallowed the fruit thereof, forcing Adam to Life forever.
:rolleyes:






Again....pointless trying to argue with the word of God.

He won’t stand for it as his word says.

This is just one bit of scripture that says this.....much more on Born Again...it’s an act of God as his word says...and not an act of man.

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

That scripture has nothing to do with being Born of God.

The word ofGod penetrates the heart of his child..the heart is opened by God..to receive the new birth..

You can hear all about Jesus at school in religious education.

I am quoting God’s word on becoming Born Again ,exactly as his word says....your the one teaching “ your way” on how one becomes Born Again..it’s false.
I said you do not choose to be Born Again..don’t misquote me.

You cannot choose to be Born Again...as God word says.....

God does not say he offers a way to be Born Again..that is false.

God says...you must be Born Again ..not I offer you a way to be Born Again..man made talk.

Sure Gifts from God such as ‘born again’ is very easy to understand…

WHEN…two; “God’ and “A MAN” are IN Agreement, Each having CHOSEN the other, according to a COMMITTED Agreement.

You are preaching FORCE without Consent.

A man is NOT FORCED to believe in God, to agree with God, to choose God, to commit to God, to Be born again of Gods seed…
WITHOUT the mans Consent.

Ignoring Scriptural content, regarding men agreeing, choosing, electing, committing, unto God, as well is your choice, to do or not.
I did not chose God.

I chose to receive his gift of salvation.

there is a difference here

We’re you there with me when I became Born Again like the wind...having never read a Bible....?

We’re you there when the Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are his children.....supernatural event...Baptism in the Spirit....by the Holy Spirit.

A “Living “ Spiritual birth, that only God can do...man does not choose to become Born of God.... as his word says.

You can believe what you like...I stick with God’s word..not mans.
You Had to chose to say yes God. I want your salvation

Or No God. I do not want your salvation.

Don’t start dictating your words to me. Please..I rebuke them.

I said NO such thing...my Will was automatically brought into line with the will of God.by God himself...all according to his purpose and plan for my life...

I was Born Again by the will of God..as his living word says...not by your word or my word.

It does not?

Rom 10: 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

John 3: 15 that whoever believes in Him should [c]not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Both speak of having faith in Christ and that being the means of being born again and being saved.

And yes..by birth was like a bolt of lightning..and came completely out of the blue,as the word of God says..so I rebuke your post

God’s word comes with power and penetrates the heart of his child.. as it was HIS will...as his word says.

Spirit gives birth to spirit...I don’t need to search the scriptures searching for what it means to be Born of God.

I’ve already received that spiritual knowledge..by the Spirit who testifies with our spirit that we are his children.

I understand completely how it happens.

please do Don't tell me I did something I did not or did not do something I did.

When we look at the serpent (the cross) we are born again, Like the wind we are born of the spirit.

But it DOES NOT HAPPEN Until we believe

The children of Israel were not saved until the looked.

they did not look until they believed.

Jesus said in the same token, he must be raised.

No a mans natural “spirit” is not dead.
It is called “dead spiritually” indicating the mans natural spirit is limited to the mans “natural truth”, and has not been “in dwelt” with God “spiritual truth”.

It is by, through, of a mans “natural spirit/truth”, that man makes his own confession to Choose, Elect, Submit, Commit TO God.

Matthew 24:13; Revelation 2:10;
Hebrews 2:1.

What if you don’t “endure to the end”?

What if you don’t “prove faithful unto death”?

What if we do “drift away”?

We shouldn’t delude ourselves… we have to continue to ‘do what Christ tells us’!
John 15:14, You are my friends if you do what I command.”

What if we stop? Some did:
2 Timothy 2:17&18, “Hymenaeus and Philetus…have departed from the truth.”
Then your faith is filled with doubts. We are justified by faith, not by works. It is a gift. You don't earn the gift. But we do respond by being obedient. That obedience is flawed. If you think your obedience isn't flawed, you are deceived.
God makes us holy.
Matt. 24:13 is a distinctive characteristic between those of faith and those ( in verses 11 & 12) who are deceived and wicked. God separates the the sheep fromnthe goats.
Rev. 2:10 was a message to Smyrna, the persecuted church. The Seven churches of the 1st century were specific churches, but they were also church-types throughout the Church Age. Christianity is being persecuted today but it varies in degree. On tue USA, life is still good ... until Islamic terrorist cells start to raise havoc. In southern Sudan, we see persecuted Christians and in countries like China, Russia, Ukraine or any Muslim territory we seen persecution throughout history.
Heb. 2:1 We do drift sometimes and need to stay focus on things above. We get caught up on daily tasks, worldly things and need to check ourselves constantly. Of course we need to participate in the race, be obedient, stay focused on Christ. Others will see us doing something and they'll rebuke us: "What the heck are you doing?" ... "What were you thinking?" So we repent, ask forgiveness and get back on track. This happens in life. We are constantly reminded to walk in the Spirit, not by sight, not influenced by fleshly desires and we fail sometimes. But we don't lose our salvation. People trip and fall in a race don't they? But they get up, brush themselves off and move forward. We are talking about decades of living in this world, the ups and downs we go through, wins, losses, periods of despondency, depression, doubt, illness, deaths of loved ones. Imagine being a parapalegic for most of your life? Can you endure that? We need to remember Job when things get bad ( and they will in the coming Great Tribulation) and draw from that kind of strength and faith, when everything is taken away.
We might one day be subject to terrorists threatening to chop our heads off. What will you do, cry like a baby, denounce your faith and allegence to Christ to save your neck; or just stand firm, look them in the eye, tell them Jesus is my Lord and Savior, He is waiting for me and ask them if you can sharpen the blade with a smile and certainty that you are going home very soon?
It's journey that requires faith, a gift given to us. Some have little faith and we need to come alongside them and encourage them. "Encourage one another" is repeated 40 times in scripture, because we need it. But we will endure to the end.

A mans spirit is dead to the Spirit of God..

The mans natural spirit, bust become Born Again...that is not an act that you can choose to do..it’s an act of God..as his word says..your word is false..that’s why I can’t and won’t receive it..

When we look at the serpent (the cross) we are born again, Like the wind we are born of the spirit.

God doesn’t say when we look at the serpent we are Born Agaiin... @Eternally Grateful ..that doesn’t even make sense to me...if it means Born Again to you...that’s an opinion.
But it DOES NOT HAPPEN Until we believe

The children of Israel were not saved until the looked.

they did not look until they believed.

Jesus said in the same token, he must be raised.
That is what you believe Born Again means..I go by God’s word.

And who said the rebirth happens before belief..I didn’t.

I said God drew me to Jesus and he brought me to believe in his Son..I did not say he believed for me.

That scripture is the same thing Jesus was talking about in John 5:24,25. Being born again, is being saved. It is having one's sins forgiven and being given the indwelling Holy Spirit.

One is not born again and then believes. One hears, believes and then is born again.

So…you without the knowledge of having heard Gods word, without you deciding if you believe In God or without you Agreeing with God…

God forced you to Become “born again” ?

Is that correct ?

That is what you believe it to be saying..God’s word says differently.
One is not born again and then believes. One hears, believes and then is born again.
Really....show me where God says that?

He doesn’t....

Believe in Jesus comes first , as for hearing...we hear, when we are being spiritually birthed..Spirit gives birth to spirit..he testifies with our spirit that we are his children .

How can you hear..without the Spirit testifying with our spirit
