Amen, our new man has been created perfect and holy...since He who created it is perfect and holy. So why do we need to grow and what does that mean? It's because we still have to contend with our our old man/flesh in putting him under our feet.
I pray this over you @Lizbeth and for @Marvelloustime @amigo de christo .in Jesus Name..Amen!

I pray that he brings you all to understand what this means...you won’t find His Living Spirit in the Bible.

  • Rom. 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
  • I Cor. 2:10-14 “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
  • 1 Cor. 6:11 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
  • 1 Cor. 12:3 “Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.”
  • II Cor. 3:6 “… who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
  • II Cor. 3:17 “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
  • II Cor. 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
  • I Pet. 1:2 “…elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.”
2. Sinners, through regeneration, are brought into God’s kingdom and made His children. The author of this new birth is the Holy Spirit. The instrumentwhich He uses is the preaching of the Word of God.

  • John 1:12-13 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
  • John 3:3-8 “Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
  • Titus 3:5-7 “…not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
  • I Pet. 1:3, 23-25 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead… having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.”
  • I John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.”
3. Through the work of the Holy Spirit man is given a new heart (nature) and made to walk according to the will of God. Man becomes a new creature in Jesus Christ.

  • Deut. 30:6 “And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.”
  • Jer. 31:33-34 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the LORD, I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD, for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
  • Ezek. 36:26-27 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”
  • Gal. 6:15 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.”
  • Eph. 2:10, 18, 22 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. …in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.”
  • II Cor. 5:17-18 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”

You once again have posted your own commentary, which does not line up with scripture..there is no point in discussing with you..as you have no spiritual life in your posts...and NO I have no intention of listening to a strangers voice..I suggest you do the same as the advice i gave to marvellous...seek God out with all of your heart for there is where you will find him...as of yet I don’t see the Spirit Alive in any of your posts.

Now, if you read what I have posted to @amigo de christo ..and come back to me with answers to those questions.we may then have a discussion....rather than you keep posting scripture that you understand...why not discuss the scriptures that I post?
unfortunately you are another one who only wants to post the scripture that you want to post and dismiss all scripture that I post and never want to discuss it.

Therefore I rebuke all of your post in Jesus Name. Amen!..scripture I don’t rebuke ..only what comes out of your mouth.

If you concentrated more on knowing God in your heart/ spirit, you would get a better understanding of scripture @Lizbeth ...the Spirit should be leading you through scripture..not yourself...and that’s all I see from you, you understand scripture from your own perspective....
What you posted from someone else's teaching/commentary is only one side of the story. I'm sorry that you aren't seeing the whole counsel of God on these things, as a whole.

Quite a lot of interfaith people are like this. They’ll rebuke Christians for quoting parts of the Bi scriptures themselves, but only parts of the Bible that they like and suits them
Yeah...this sounds a lot like you as well...you only post scripture and memes...that’s all you ever do ...where is your “ heart knowledge “ do you even know what heart/ spirit knowledge is and who it comes from?

You’re always telling me that I never read my Bible and don’t know the word.....what about your heart knowledge, it’s non existent?

Now, rather than keep reading your Bible, do as God says, seek him out with all of your heart...your non knowledge of heart revelation, has also exposed you!

You only seem to have head knowledge...which is no knowledge at all...without heart revelation

I posted scripture as well...which you dismiss and won’t address..so stop with your accusations that I only post scripture that I understand...when you do exactly the same thing...

I’m sorry that you can’t answer any of my Spirit questions.

All scripture that I posted on this thread I understand...unfortunately you don’t...because you never want to discuss them and never answer the questions I ask regarding those scriptures that I post. You’re ignorant of Spirit knowledge, plus Gods Living witness... then you have the audacity to accuse me of being ignorant of Gods word...what a darn hypocrite.

The Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are Gods children?

believing in Christ is still an evidence of one having been born again
John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

I understand that the red is a condition for the blue to become reality in a person.

The blue alone does not make a person a child of God.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The Bible is God's written word that bears witness to Christ, who is the living Word of God. The two cannot be separated. His Word has the power to completely transform your life!

Does it state that you can be given life by the words of ministers and preachers? No. Because God's Word is powerful, alive, and sharper than any two-edged sword, it is the only thing that is alive. You see, the Bible contains the glorious promise of eternal life. Amen?

Rita, I just addressed the whole package of those scriptures that you posted. I said they are only one side of the truth......they need to be balanced out with other truths.

What a load of nonsense and a cop out.you addressed nothing.
Discuss those scriptures that I posted and stop trying to make out that they need to be balanced out..which doesn’t make an ounce of sense.
Address the other question I asked you.

The Spirit testifies with our spirit about what?

And once again how do you know God and Jesus?
By whose testimony?

I mean I can’t possibly know him as I’m a tare apparently..what does that make you?

Good, because quite honestly I’m fed up with you and your 2 mates forcing what you all believe onto me..
It’s all on the thread for all members to see.

I will defend my belief and my faith, even if it kills me..you should know that by now...I do not believe as you 3 believe...
You respect my beliefs and you will get the same respect back..good day..

The Bible is God's written word that bears witness to Christ
No, @LatterRain the written word does not bear witness to our spirit who Christ is?

Now think again..,who testifies Of God’s truth to our spirit?..the Bible confirms that Gods word is Alive and Active?

Flesh gives birth to flesh...Spirit gives birth to spirit. which means what ?
, who is the living Word of God. The two cannot be separated. His Word has the power to completely transform your life!
You don’t know who Gods Living witness is @LatterRain , is that what you are saying?

Who gave birth to my spirit..the Bible or the Living Spirit?

Who testifies Of God’s truth to our spirit, the Bible or the Spirit?

You lack heart revelation...I pray that you too seek God out with all of your heart for that is where you will find him?
Does it state that you can be given life by the words of ministers and preachers? No. Because God's Word is powerful, alive, and sharper than any two-edged sword, it is the only thing that is alive. You see, the Bible contains the glorious promise of eternal life. Amen?
Read all of my posts to Amigo Lizbeth and Marvellous, then get back to me with the answers.

By whose testimony/ witness is our spirit Born Again?

Whose seed are we Born Again of?

The Spirit testifies with our spirit..testifies what ? and by whose Living witness/ word?

The Bible is not the Living Spirit Of God?

The Bible confirms what the Spirit testifies/ witnesses with our spirit.....

Do you realize what it means to speak the name of Jesus?
I rebuke all strangers posts in the Name Of Jesus..Amen.

Because all strangers words are from the enemy..he uses some , because he hates hearing the truth from God’s Living witness?
Therefore I will continue to rebuke in the Name Of Jesus...all words that are not of God, from other people’s mouth..correct....don’t you rebuke lies from the enemy @ProDeo ...I think that you will find that Jesus did that also..he rebuked Satan...
Do you ever answer Spirit questions?

I’m still waiting for my post to be answered that I asked of you?

to become reality in a person.
Can you explain what this means please?
What becomes reality in a person?
Is it biblical?

If you post something , then you should be able to explain yourself?

What’s the point of posting something if you can’t answer what it means @ProDeo ?

The red in my post, born of God.

It was in the year 2000 it became known that in our church a very likeable person and professing Christian in fact was a notorious pedophile who misused in total about 50 children, among them children of the church and notable also his own 2 children, a boy and a girl.

He believed in Jesus, was he born again? He never showed regret and after his prison period he went to Thailand and continued his practices until the authorities imprisoned him.

The Bible has a Living soul and spirit does it?
