@How to know that you have : Eternal Life

Obey every word from God, even when God commanded me to go to hell...

Behold said:

Being born again is required, if a person is to become a Christian, as its the only way you can become a Christian.


This is why Jesus told us......."You MUST be born again".....and that is not by water, but "by my Spirit sayeth the Lord".

Yes I agree, and for us to be born again, that is God's work. Just as we didn't cause ourselves to be born physically, so we cannot give ourselves new birth.

Telling me one has to be born again is not sufficient. I was speaking more of the methodology by which a person can bacome "born again."

To God Be The glory

1 John 5:11 - And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

You can actually show him also what john wrote to the church . its in the fifth chapter .
HE who beleives that JESUS is the CHRIST is born of GOD .
And the born again are known by their fruits . Why did i just say the latter you might be wondering .
Because a lot of lips , Including my own at one time , could claim to BELEIVE
and yet we knew HIM not . wallowing in sin and justifying our evil .
Now if a sheep does slip and err , WELL our duty is to correct such a one .
But beleive me , you can surely know them by their fruits . I see many who profess to beleive JESUS is Christ
and they holding up rainbows and all sorts of other sins do they justify , day in and day out .
THESE DO NOT KNOW HIM . its lip only and not a true conversion .
BUT OH YES we can surely KNOW we have ETERNAL LIFE .
WE KNOW IT CAME OF CHRIST and not ourselves . If any thinketh
he is saved by his works and his merits and hollers one cannot KNOW they have eternal life
until they die, THAT MAN IS DECIEVED and trusts IN HIS OWN SELF and thus He will be told
I NEVER KNEW YOU . The simple fact , the simple truth is
JESUS IS THE LIFE and all who come unto HIM have ETERNAL LIFE . HE is the RESURRECTION .
HE IS THE LIFE , HE IS THE TRUTH and THE WAY , and the ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER .

Yes indeed my friend .
When i look to myself all i see by grace is a man in dire need of the LORD forever and always .
Hear ye the parable of the two men .
both lie dying on their bed . both had professed to beleive in JESUS .
The sons of both those men came to visist the dads .
One said to his dad , Have no fear dad if anyone deserves heaven it is you .
You always did much good works , you fed the poor , you gave to all in need .
To which his dad replied , you are pointing to the wrong man , this man deserved naught but hell
TIS SOLEY by the grace of GOD , faith in Christ i have eternal life .
To which the son said , but you did so much good works .
To which the Dad replied , IT was HE who worked within me that which was well pleasing in HIS sight .
The other son then turned to his dad and said have no fear dad if anyone deserves heaven its you .
To which his dad then replied , son i beleive in the many path true god
who says all ye need is love and it dont matter what religoin ye served under , if ya just had some love .
To which his son said that sounds so loving .
Meanwhile the other dad looked to his son and both looked at each other
and said as one voice and one mind
THAT BE A LIE from satan . FOR how can a man TRULY LOVE GOD , if he loved NOT HIS CHRIST , BELEIVED ON HIS CHRIST .
GUESS WHICH ONES WERE RIGHT .

My spirit knows that it’s Born Again, you don’t need to read or be taught that by anyone.no Bible needs to be present when God decides to birth our spirit into his...

The Living Spirit Of God does the birthing, a “ mind blowing “ birth at that..Spirit gives birth to spirit...our spirit knows that it’s in God’s spiritual realm....and we only listen to the testimony of his Spirit, that testifies Of God’s truth to our heart/ spirit.

Once that happened to me...that’s it...my new life is in Christ..onwards and upwards from there....

Ain’t no easy road though...only the Spirit can keep his children on that narrow path...where we will and do meet false prophets, who try and take all Glory away from God....we don’t follow man...we are led by the Living Spirit....Praise God and give him all the Glory...in Jesus Name...Amen!

God drew me to Jesus...God drew me to repentance and forgave my sin...God drew me to initially believe in Jesus, as we can’t become Born Again without the Name Of Jesus....he then gifted me the supernatural faith to know Jesus and believe in Jesus from within my spirit, as it had been birthed by the Spirit Of God..

I was Born Of The Spirit, just like Jesus explains to Nicodemas...the Spirit is like the wind...he hovers and we never know the time, day or place, when he decides to birth our spirit into his...a “ mind blowing “ Living supernatural birth, that only the Living Spirit Of God can perform.

We agree that noone needs to be taught that your spirit is born again.

Or did you need to keep posting about it, 5000 more times, because you have nothing better to do?

See you there the next 400 more times...

I am entitled to post the same as everyone else..

My belief differs from the way that you believe....which you have tried to dismissed many, many times, and accused me of being in a cult and a demon possessed believer....accuses those who don’t agree with his belief ...therefore we are a Calvinist....because he doesn’t understand our testimonies....so, we must be demon possessed all according to him..sigh.

I didn’t give my faith to God..God gifted me with supernatural faith..when my spirit became Born Of The Spirit.

Faith is a gift from God.

How I came to have eternal life...well, it wasn’t by me giving my faith to Jesus..

God drew me to Jesus, God brought me to repentance, God brought me to believe in the Name Of Jesus...God did it all...Born Of The Spirit..that’s how I know I have eternal life...Praise God.
