“But when recreated and transformed, indwelled with God’s Spirit, we CAN do good in Christ.”

“A higher principle, jo...that sums it up brilliantly”

And when does this rebirth take place? Is it temporary or permanant? Is the recreation instantaneous or a journey?

And when does this rebirth take place?

At baptism, of course.

Is it temporary or permanant?

Nothing in this world is permanent. The world to come will be permanent.

Is the recreation restoration instantaneous or a journey?

Both.

At baptism. The rebirth is permanent. Our recreation is a journey that ends with heaven.
