Many in the Christian church today have, at best, a rudimentary understanding of what Jesus was talking about when he said "You must be born again." False teachers are often quick to invent their own concept of "born again" apart from sound biblical information, so be careful to compare what they teach to the Word of God. A good grasp of the biblical teaching on this subject is important to the understanding of how God saves people and transforms their lives the very essence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

think, Responsibility, THINK. Compare Scripture with Scripture and THINK about this..NOT what your church has always taught you, what does God’s Word SAY?

It is interesting because Ive been called a follower of Camping, Swaggart, and a Protestant.They are trying to get you to waste your time, defending against baseless ATTACKS so they won't have to worry about defense themselves.
Stay focused. Stay on target. Stay on the message.

It seems God has different paths for people to follow. Since we all start at different points; I'll have to agree.
Until we finally reach the WAY.

...and boy did all the bible teaching and stuff about Jesus come roaring back.Zechariah said...
Chapter One
In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo:
... tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: Return to me, declares the Lord Almighty, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty.

Once saved with the human spirit created by God and placed in us by God the Holy Spirit, we remain saved, though we may fall out of fellowship.So you are of the school that a person, once saved, cannot lose their salvation by any of his own actions?

If Jesus had truly meant "again" then why didn't He say "palin" which actually means again:
Shout out to RNC: run Sarah PALIN!!!

There are a number of your fellow protestants that will rip you a new one over this. That's ok. I can deal with those who do not have quite the same outlook as I do; even Catholics.

"From above" is sound...Of COURSE it is!
And, if one IS 'born from above' would it NOT be 'again'?
Well; unlees you'd not been 'born' to begin with; then it's mootless point versus a pointless moot.

We didn’t do anything to earn it, nor can we do anything to remove it. Don’t take it up with me, take it up with God if you don’t like who He has given eternal life to...

To: 1010RD
All throughout the OT, we see the direction to those out of fellowship to return to God so He can return to them. Repentance isn’t unique to NT theology.

Methinks I might give up.
They don’t care....rather run straight to Hades than ever stop and listen to anyone.
But at least you always put a smile on my face, Elsie. Mission impossible!! How appropriate was that?!
