Paul has already answer those questions for you. ALL the answers are in the Epistle to the Romans. By faith in Him we can be Born from Above. By placing our faith in Him we can walk not after the flesh, which is under the law of sin and death, but after the Spirit, which in Christ. For behold, those in Christ are a New Creation. They can walk after the spirit and be raised up in the Way that they should go as members of God's family. How can they be members of God's family? ... They have His LIFE (you know, the life that was in that Perfect blood spread upon the Mercy Seat, covering the law of sin and death) IN THEM.

John 14:

v6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. v16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; v17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I am trying to understand your beliefs.

Not to speak for MHG, but here is some information on Bereanesque groups from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bereans

Historically, the Bereans (also called Beroeans, Barclayans or Barclayites) were a Protestant sect following former Scottish Presbyterian minister John Barclay (1734-1798). Founded in Edinburgh in 1773, the Berean Church followed a modified form of Calvinism. It had congregations in Scotland, London and Bristol, but mainly merged with the Congregationalists after Barclay’s death in 1798.

A new Protestant Christian group began in the 1850s in the United States under the tutelage of Dr. John Thomas. The name “Christadelphian” was chosen as it is believed that those who believe and obey the Commandments of Christ and the Bible as the inspired word of God, are “Brethren in Christ”. The original group split, with one group continuing with the name “The Christadelphians” and the second group adding the word “Berean” to become the “Berean Christadelphians”. The word “Berean” was chosen to reflect the words in Acts 17, “These (Berea) were more noble than those in Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily whether those things were so.” Christadelphians, and Berean Christadelphians believe in the promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and David concerning the Kingdom of God. They deny the Doctrine of the Trinity, a central tenet of orthodox Christianity, and this refusal to recognize the triune nature of God has resulted in a major impasse between the Christadelphians/Berean Christadelphians and the Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Some groups among the Bible Student movement also adopted the name, such as the Berean Bible Students and the Berean Bible Institute. Churches and institutions who adopt the Berean name, usually do so in order to express their desire to reflect the attitude of the Bereans in Acts 17, committing themselves to “searching the scriptures daily.”
