Like I said, Paul knew a person needs to born again to believe in Jesus, so if a person obeyed the command to believe in Jesus, after hearing the gospel, it was evident they were born again, simple as that
Not so simple BF.
As I said you have it backwards.
First a person hears....
and then he believes...

Let's try a different verse:

John 20:31
31But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.


Again, notice the ordo salutis:

1. These things were written....
2. So that the hearer would/might believe.

FIRST a person HEARS the word...
THEN he comes to believe.

The way you and other calvinists understand the gospel a person has to be born again/regenerated FIRST so that he could then
become born again.

Basically, according to you....a person has to be born again twice.

No..this is not correct.

First a person hears...
Then he believes and becomes born again.

This is the order taught in the New Testament by Jesus, Paul and all the writers.

our reasoning is ALL CARNAL?
our's is ZERO understanding of faith?:

Quite the Accusations, don't ya think? I thought This Christianity Board Was All About
humble and kind discussions for Encouraging And Edifying "members ( of one another )
In The Body of Christ", "By GRACE Through faith" (Ephesians 2:8-9 AV), In
The LORD Jesus Christ's [ God's ] ALL-Sufficient BLOOD, Burial, And Resurrection!!

For these "believers In Christ":

Instead Of Defamation, Discouragement, and Destruction, how about humbleness, holiness, and helping in a:
Scriptural study of "Walking In The Spirit"?:

How Ye Ought To Walk!

“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you By The Lord Jesus, that as ye have​
received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more”​
(1 Thessalonians 4:1).​

Amen.

Since I'm the last poster, are you speaking to me? That should be clarified. I believe I state what the NT teaches and have had much patience with a couple of members that are rather ridiculing me. This should not be acceptable and I'll end here.

Precious friend, for clarification, if you are "stating what the NT teaches" and not "accusing, defaming, or destroying" any
of the brethren In The LORD, then:

No, I am not speaking to you about those items, but perchance you "may be Edified and Encouraged" by prayerful and
Careful study of the 'links' anyway. I humbly apologize for any Confusion.

Grace And Peace.

For those who are in Christ, there is NO condemnation, we are being conformed into the image of Jesus, that doesn’t happen by reading a Bible...the Living Spirit Of God works in the heart of his child, the Bible confirms this..
We have been Born Again of a Living seed, our spirit is Born Again, when someone tells us, that we have our belief backwards, who are they to tell us that, ?
Were they there at my rebirth, when the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are the children of God?
God brought me to believe initially in Jesus, he also brought me to repentance....then he gifted me the supernatural faith to believe in Jesus, because you can’t believe in Jesus in your head or by reading scripture...belief in Jesus and knowing Jesus comes from one’s heart/ spirit, when it’s been Born Of The Spirit...if one believes in Jesus then their spirit must be Born Again..

Belief comes after the rebirth...then we can walk in faith, as we have the Living testimony/ witness Living in our spirit..Spirit gives birth to spirit...


When some people start telling you NO, you have it wrong...or that you have it backwards....then what do you expect us to do, ...?..sit and say nothing, I don’t think so, I was quite happy posting my belief and Gods word, until the accusations started flowing about what I believe.....then when quite a few told me I had it wrong , I challenged them using the word of God and will continue to do so.
Also please don’t twist the word of God to make it say what you want it to say...does the scripture below say that those he foreknew....God knew they would believe, no it doesn’t, it says exactly what it says....for whom he did foreknow ...just don’t add to Gods word, as then it gets confusing.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

We walk after the Spirit, as we have a Living walk with our Father God...the Bible confirms this.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
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

Romans 8​

King James Version​

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace
.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
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.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
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
.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God
.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

First a person hears...
Then he believes and becomes born again.
Scripture please?


That is not how God says we are “ Born Again “.

That is how YOU say we are Born Again.....coming from your own understanding and human perspective in your thinking.....which is unbiblical as we can all see.

Here’s one verse ,plenty more to show your error ...

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

This is the word of God, above makes perfect sense to my spirit .

..God brought me to initially believe in Jesus ....then as I was being indwelled by the Spirit, he then testified this truth to my spirit, just as he says it....so I suggest that you stop adding your own words to Gods word..which you constantly do...posting scripture that doesn’t even apply to a Born Again....if one is saved, then they must be Born Again....Born Again then we are saved from eternal damnation....

May have life in his name?

The Bible tells us that....who confirms what the Bible teaches?

Who witnesses Gods truth to our spirit?

Some think that the Bible is the enduring word of God....the Bible is the inspired word of God, he gave men the words to write.

The scripture confirms that Gods word is a Living word .....otherwise if it wasn’t, how could our spirit be Born Again of imperishable seed?


23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God

Gods word will endure for all of eternity....that means his Living word will endure, as the word of God is Alive and Active...it is NOT the Bible....the Bible books will decay and rot......yet Gods word will NEVER decay or rot....why, because his words are Alive and Active....just like the words he speaks to our heart/ spirit are Alive and Active .....



The Enduring Word
(Isaiah 40:6–8)

22Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.e 23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24For,

“All flesh is like grass,

and all its glory like the flowers of the field;

the grass withers and the flowers fall,

25but the word of the Lord stands forever.”f

And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.


Hebrews 4

New International Version

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God​

4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a] 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
“So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”[b]
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c] 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, 7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e] just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest​

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[f] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need

Do you even truly know what it is that you even believe sister
I was brought back to this question.

How can I believe in Jesus Of my own accord?

How can I believe in Jesus as I once was carnal in nature?

I’m going to ask this question of you.....you tell me how you can believe in Jesus?...sure you can read all about him in scripture......now you explain to me how you know that Jesus walked on this earth who died and was resurrected......?

You seem to do a lot of talking Of the same old regurgitated nonsense coming out of your mouth....yet you NEVER or very seldom answer Spirit questions ....

You never answer any questions that I put forth regarding Born Again of imperishable seed.....apart from its planted in the ground.....this brings me to believe that you have no knowledge of spiritual matters or what spiritual life actually means.

What is spiritual life?....and whose Spirit is our spirit Alive in?.....

Plus how do we know that our spirit is Alive in Christ......being enlightened my friend, I can assure you, is not the same as being Born Of The Spirit...so, if some post that enlightenment is being Born Again is error and not the word of God....it’s man made belief.words added by men / women to the word of God.....

We are Born Of The Spirit = by supernatural divine heart revelation.......therefore please don’t add to Gods word ,what you believe you think it means........where is Gods Spirit/ Life in your posts?

Your posts are full of doom and gloom....I’ve agreed with some of your posts in the past, because I was ignorant to what you were posting and maybe wanted to please you from my emotions.....well, I ain’t in them emotions anymore, I’m in the Spirit.....you see we grow in Christ, we grow in his Spirit knowledge......the Bible can’t make you grow in spirit, the Bible just confirms this truth.

Anytime you think I’m in error, then you show me my error using scripture.....not your opinions or emotions that you often post about me.

Let’s just keep to the topic in hand and let’s leave our personal accusations and personal emotions of what we think of one another at the door before we enter.

If you read many posts on this thread by all of us....there is a lot of personal accusations and emotions flying around.....that is NOT from the Living Spirit Of God now is it?

Do you recognise your own contributions of what I’ve just spoke about on this post?

I have the balls to recognise mine....I hope you do as they are on every post that you post.

Saved from what ?

When is one saved?

How would you respond to such a question .
By Gods Living Witness/ testimony.....which means what?

Spirit gives birth to spirit?....I ask you Spirit questions....to which for some reason you then clam up...?

You see, you tell me that I only want to discuss certain scripture.....you do exactly the same....once I mention “ HEART” again you just don’t want to discuss the Heart Of God....or the heart of his children.

You greatly lack imo....heart knowledge....Spirit knowledge, do you even know what Spirit knowledge is?

Beliving on Christ is an evidence of one having spiritual life, for faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22 who is the giver of Spiritual life. Remember Jesus said of the Spirit Jn 6:63

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Quickeneth means : make alive, give life, spiritual living and spiritual life which is needed to receive Christs spiritual words.

You might think you're in Theology 101...but you’re not.
Then prove it by discussion and using scripture....?
Here you go again trying to manipulate and using your emotional tactics, that you always use on members who don’t agree with you.....
By telling me I rant.....I asked you a question....that is not “ ranting “ as you call it.just answer the question?

What theology?.....I don’t follow theology?....I’m Born Of The Spirit?

Theology never birthed my spirit?

When you can use scripture, or Gods Living witness/ testimony....to prove that my Living testimony is theology, ..
Telling Brightfame or myself that we are wrong in our theology, which doesn’t even make sense
or that we have it backwards
then you will have a discussion..in the meantime..



NO I don’t have it wrong or backwards.......,it’s Gods Witness/ testimony is who I go by, plus the Bible confirms how I was Born Of The Spirit.....if you don’t understand that, which clearly you don’t....stop making accusations and assumptions that we don’t know God.....I am not a Calvinist....I’m a child of God....

Total proof . I had asked a simple question and you wont even say The answer .
My my Rita aint we happy paul didnt answer the jailor like you .
The gospel IS BEING shut down unawares .
So if one asked you how to be saved you would say BY Gods living witness , testimony .
You do realize that all the false religoins believe they already follow GOD and heed his testimony .
IS it so hard to actually have rather simply just said BY BELIEVING ON JESUS THE CHRIST , WHO IS GOS LIVING WITNESS
You wont even utter that one must BELIEVE ON JESUS the CHRIST . guess it might offend
and under the new version of what many thinks love is , they sure dont wanna do that . THE GOSPEL is being silenced rita

First by inclusivity they silenced the correction of sins and errors within the church
and now it even silences the gospel of BELIEVE ye IN JESUS the CHRIST .
Ever get the feeling the judge not correct not card was a HOAX that was only meant
to allow leaven to grow and unbelief to even become accepted . BIBLE TIME .

Don’t put words into my mouth, I said I was brought to believe in Jesus by God....then my spirit became Born Again......how would I know that Jesus walked the earth...how do you know that he did that....?

How many times have I asked you that question?
guess it might offend
and under the new version of what many thinks love is , they sure dont wanna do that . THE GOSPEL is being silenced rita
Here we go again m I’ve answered your questions...yet as we can see, you skate over my spirit questions...

You dismiss the Living testimony of God...as usual.

You know the Jesus in the Bible....do you know him in spirit.?

If so by whose testimony?

Your posts are correct Amigo....
When a calvinist is asked HOW a person is saved...the reply is always elusive.
Why?
Because they hate to say that a person can do nothing to save themselves because it's
God that is going to choose who is saved and who is damned.
Even to them this must sound horrible.

And, as you correctly pointed out:
The gospel means, simply, the good news.
And what is the good news?
God, being a JUST GOD, will offer to EVERY PERSON the opportunity to be saved.
Plenty of verses on this.

Just 2 requirements:
1. Believe in Jesus/God.
2. Obey Him.

Pretty easy.

God's living testimony testifies to our heart/spirit to His Son, Jesus Christ. "....this is my beloved Son, HEAR YE HIM."

Plus how do we know that our spirit is Alive in Christ......being enlightened my friend, I can assure you, is not the same as being Born Of The Spirit...so, if some post that enlightenment is being Born Again is error and not the word of God....it’s man made belief.words added by men / women to the word of God.....

We are Born Of The Spirit = by supernatural divine heart revelation.......therefore please don’t add to Gods word ,what you believe you think it means........where is Gods Spirit/ Life in your posts?

Your posts are full of doom and gloom....I’ve agreed with some of your posts in the past, because I was ignorant to what you were posting and maybe wanted to please you from my emotions.....well, I ain’t in them emotions anymore, I’m in the Spirit.....you see we grow in Christ, we grow in his Spirit knowledge......the Bible can’t make you grow in spirit, the Bible just confirms this truth.

Anytime you think I’m in error, then you show me my error using scripture.....not your opinions or emotions that you often post about me.

Let’s just keep to the topic in hand and let’s leave our personal accusations and personal emotions of what we think of one another at the door before we enter.

If you read many posts on this thread by all of us....there is a lot of personal accusations and emotions flying around.....that is NOT from the Living Spirit Of God now is it?

Do you recognise your own contributions of what I’ve just spoke about on this post?

I have the balls to recognise mine....I hope you do as they are on every post that you post.
I have told you over and over and over again that the Spirit draws us to Christ .
Rita you answer just like the many who are in love with the judge not correct not card .
HOW much more leaven must come in before YOU ALL realize that card DONT WORK
IT only allows leaven to grow and error keeps begetting more error .
This doom and gloom you claim i speak of , I cant even hold a candle
to what paul and the true apostles would have said and done to this generation and its acceptance
of error . You think i am grave . Please read the bible and YOU SEE
how they instructed the church concerning sin and error within it .
And you see how they instructed people and how they preached the gospel .
You see what they did to those who rejected CHRIST , a hint they didnt just try and find common ground rita .
THEY warned them and shook the dust off and departed from them .
You see how they did things . And then before you are tempted to tell me OH that was two thousand years ago
AS you did the day before yesterday , TRY REMEMBERING GOD dont change
HIS pattern does not change . THEY HAD the right correct pattern for doing all things rita. ITS THIS generation that is dead wrong sister .
