you never know the time or place, when the Spirit births our spirit into His.

Anyone who is actually born again, will be able to tell you the time, date, and place, ..when they trusted in Christ, and were forgiven their sin, and were born again..

Every Christian, has a 2nd Birthday.. as born....again..... and they will know that day., as its the most special moment of their entire life.

That’s your opinion..I believe what I posted..the Spirit does the supernatural birth, you have no say in it.

Enlightenment as you teach, is not the Living spiritual rebirth..that is supernatural and only the Spirit can give you that mind blowing rebirth.
.
Faith is a supernatural gift from God...The Spirit penetrates our heart, takes up residence in our spirit, then we have the supernatural faith to walk in the Spirit.

You must be Born Of The Spirit ,if you can look to the cross and believe it, then you must already be Born Again..you need God’s Living witness, testifying of Gods truth to our heart/spirit.he does that as he’s indwelling us, the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are Gods children, he is the vital Living witness that we need, before we can truly walk in the Spirit.

No one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

No way would I ever know Jesus is Lord, not until I received that Living supernatural Living rebirth.

The bible must be oversimplified to revieve its message.

Adam sinned.
That event produced The "great dilemma"
God brought a remedy.
Only one remedy.
He sacrificed His son.
Only innocent blood could fix the dilemma.

Only one way that God has ever had to fix TGE great dilemma.

The Gospel.
The gospel is salvation.
The Gospel is a person
Salvation is a person.

No "2 gospels" ever came from God.

Man stepped in and made salvation a formula.
A string of sentences, to debate and lead away from WHAT salvation truly is.
We think salvation is in "the book"
We exault the book above the one that wrote it.
We read in revelation where they had departed from their love of a real personal savior , and even that does not bring us back to being red hot after him.

The church is a fallen departed bride that is obsessed with the book that God wrote, and has even lost sight that that book is from heaven.
So we Quote "paul" instead of God.
" Paul said this and that"

Time to get it straight.

You two said two different things...and you're both right I see!

You never know when and where and then suddenly something happens within you, by surprise. That was memorable! So my date of rebirth was 9/22/09 it will be wrapped around circumstances somehow and you wind up walking away from the incident going wow, it is real. I owe God my life! Hello Lord!

So I know the date now, after the fact!

When a person is born again, they have just given their Faith in Christ to God.
They know when this happened, even if it happened a long time ago.
That's not "opinion".
That's fact.

Also, the Holy Spirit does birth, everyone who gives THEIR Faith in Christ to God.

None of your post is fact, it’s fact in your opinion...plus full of confusion, non biblical.

Reading and believing what you post, doesn’t make one’s spirit Born Again, you can’t believe in God unless he wills it...
To believe in the Spirit Of God, one must be birthed by his Spirit, only then does one have the supernatural faith to know who God is, because he chose to gift us supernatural faith to believe in our spirit.
For someone to also teach that you are as righteous as God, is also false..show me where scripture shows we are as righteous as God?

We are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, ..

Faith is a gift from God..

None of your post is fact,

You've never been to church, ????????? that isn't a Catholic Church or a Mormon church, as your post and theology is signaling that you've never been to a Protestant Church that isn't a Calvinistic Cult.

Have you ever heard this term?

"Alter Call"?

Have you never been in a REAL mainline denomination Protestant CHURCH on a SUNDAY... and the Pastor, Bishop, Minister or Evangelist like me... said.. to the congregation...

""With every head bowed, and every eye closed, let us be quiet in prayer..... as the Holy Spirit deals with hearts all across this building.... right now.......And if anyone here, does not Know Christ as your personal Savior.....then God is dealing with Hearts right now, all across this room....
Jesus is calling... the Holy Spirit is moving on Hearts .......and if you feel the call, if you know that God is speaking to you.....in your heart......and you want to be forgiven all your sin........you want Jesus to be your Savior, ... you want God to be your Father, .. you want to go to heaven.... then get out of your seat and come down front ""..

""C'mon... The Holy Spirit is moving on Hearts......... C'mon down.........Today is your day of SALVATION>..."""""

And many will come.. @Ritajanice... Many will answer , will RESPOND to the CALL of GOD.

And then this happens.........to them.

."lets all say this together.......>"Oh Lord Jesus.....I am a sinner.. i am sorry for all my sins.. i want to be forgiven..
And Lord right now.....I call on you.. JESUS...... and i ask you to be my Savior.......and i know you are.......and right now i receive you Jesus into my heart, into my life, as my personal Savior...
I claim your eternal forgiveness for all my sin.. .i accept you now Lord with all my heart........I believe that you are the Son of God, who died for my sins... and was raised from the DEAD........and who now has forgiven me ...forever.
Lord let me know im saved... I trust in you Jesus........I trust in YOU alone to save me......"

Amen.

See that @Ritajanice ?

God just gave quite a few people in that Church a new spiritual birth.. and that is not my opinion.
Ive seen it happen over and over.
It happened to me, also.

And every one of those , who have now received Christ... KNEW IT....because they made THEIR OWN confession of Faith in Christ..in PUBLIC.... and they will never forget it.

Thats a fact.
