**How is one united with Christ?**
Sounds similar to this question:
Acts 2:37 “Men and brethern, what shall we do?”
Obey Acts 2:38,. It’s that simple. And it agrees (corresponds) with Heb.6:1,2:
“..the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement.”
**How is one united with Christ?**
By being born of the water and the Spirit.
Did Philip not paint a big enough picture when he baptized the Samaritans? The same Philip that baptized the eunuch in water. Does Paul not paint a big enough picture with his conversion?...
Ananias to Paul: “And why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16
Another point to address: Do you believe that there is a sound that makes the presence of the Holy Ghost known to the hearer, and that you don’t know where it comes from? Jesus Christ said that that is the case for EVERY ONE that is born of the Spirit.
My Calvinist upbringing taught me that there was no sound in Spirit birth. It was automatically there when I confessed faith in Christ. Only thing is, that’s not scriptural.
**How is one united with Christ?**
“For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.”
That is how you come to be in Christ - thru the baptism Jesus gives, immersion in the Spirit.
