“Understanding… Being ‘BORN AGAIN’ – 101”
…Blog. [1/?]
…*** (James 2:19) You believe that there is one
God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.
*** (John 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him; Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born again; he “CANNOT” enter into the kingdom of God.
*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are NOR of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if anyone ‘Does NOT’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to Him.
Have You been “Born Again” by the Holy
Spirit of God….? “Many”
call themselves Christians [?], who have NEVER been Born Again: Born from
Above…. by the Holy Spirit of God! All the answers to these Questions may be
FOUN…. In the Holy Word of God! It will be my ONLY Reference…. And NOT some
Church or Denominations Teachings! Because when we ALL: Stand before the
Judgment seat of Christ…. HE will ONLY use His Holy Word…. “To Judge US ALL”…. For…
“Rewards & Loss of Rewards”…!Everyone will be… “Without Excuse!” There will
be NO Grading on a curve or any such handicap. Christ Jesus, will judge us ALL:
“WITH COMPLETE RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH”…!
*** (John 12:48) He who ‘Rejects’ Me
[Jesus]; and does ‘Not’
receive My Words; has One who judges him;
the WORD ->
that I have spoken; the same shall ‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.
***
(1Corinthains 3:13-14-15) each one's work shall be revealed. For the
Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and
the fire shall try each one's work as to what kind it is.
(1Co 3:14) If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.
(1Co 3:15) If anyone's work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss. But he shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
(1Co 3:14) If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.
(1Co 3:15) If anyone's work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss. But he shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
***
(2Jn 1:8-to-11) Look to
yourselves, so that we may NOT lose those things which we worked out, but that we may receive a FULL REWARD.
(2Jn 1:9) Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of
Christ does NOT have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has BOTH:
the Father and the Son.
(2Jn 1:10) If anyone comes to you and does not
bring this doctrine, DO NOT
receive him into your house,
nor speak a greeting to him.
(2Jn 1:11) For he who speaks a greeting to him is partaker of his evil deeds.
Just perhaps before Examining this
topic…. We should DISCUSS… What
Being “BORN AGAIN”… is “NOT”…? Also, this will remove ANY:
“Denominational or CHURCH Teachings”… which are “NOT Biblical”…! “MANY”
will often Quote what they have heard from the Pulpit! “FEW” will quote
the Holy Word of God… “The Bible”…! The bottom line in any such discussion is…
“Thus Says the LORD”…! Yes, we all have our Opinions: but like armpits, we have
at least Two: and they are often Stinky! God has given us His Holy Word, the
Bible… and it is the Final & Complete Authority”…! If You refuse to agree
to this, Please argue with Him…?
*** (Proverbs
4:7) Wisdom is the main thing; get Wisdom; and with all your getting get Understanding.
*** (Isaiah 28:13) But
the Word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept; precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that
they might go; and fall backward [backslide]; and be broken; and snared; and
taken.
*** (Hebrews 5:11-to-14) We have much to say about this, but it is difficult to explain Because you
have become too lazy to Understand.
(Heb 5:12) In fact, though by now you should be
teachers, you still need someone to
teach you the basic truths of God's word. You
have become people who need milk instead of solid food.
(Heb 5:13) For everyone who lives on milk is still
a baby and is inexperienced in the
message of righteousness.
(Heb 5:14) But solid food is for mature people, whose
minds are trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

Being
Born Again, is NOT Church Membership…!
“The
NT Born Again & ‘Church Denominations?’ – 101” …Blog.
…
Right away, the Catholics will tell You
that they are the “Real Church”…! Many
other denominations make that “Same False Claim”…! In the TRUTH of the
Scriptures: is that the Church of Christ, His Bride, His Redeemed Ones… are NOT
a Denomination! The Church are those Truly Born Again… “Sealed with His Holy
Spirit”…. And meet in a ‘Home’ or a ‘Building’…. Often called a Church! Early
NT Believers met in a Home. The Jews would NOT allow them into their
‘Synagogue’. Take some time and read through the NT and examine where the early
Believers met…?
2.
Being
Born Again… is NOT Water Baptism….!
QUESTION:
(Ephesians 4:5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Is this ONE Baptism Water or Spirit…?
*** (1Corinthains 12:13) For also by one Spirit we are all baptized [1Corinthians 12:13 –Spirit / Not Water!] into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit. [John 7:38-39 & Acts 15:8-9]
*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing
of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
*** (1Corinthains 1:17) For Christ did ‘NOT’ send me
[Paul] to Baptize;
but to Preach the gospel; not in
wisdom of words; lest the
cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
*** (Romans 11:6) But
if by grace, then it is no
more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is
no more work.
*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but
under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if
anyone ‘does not’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to Him.

Baptism and Salvation – 101 Blog.
*** (John
7:38-39) The one who believes in Me [Jesus], as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart." [Romans 8:9]
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit, Whom those who were
believing in him were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was Not yet present,
because Jesus had Not yet been glorified. [Acts
2:1-5]

Salvation;
being “Born Again”…. is the “Holy Spirit”….!
There are “ONLY” - TWO TYPES” of people
here on planet earth! Those
who have been Truly Born Again… and…
Those who have NOT…!
*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but
under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives
in you. And if anyone
‘Does NOT’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to
Him.
*** (Jude 1:19) These be they who separate themselves,
sensual: having “NOT” the [Holy] Spirit.
*** (Acts 8:18-to-22) And when
Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through
laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
(Act 8:19) saying, Give me this power also, that
on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the
Holy Spirit.
(Act 8:20) But Peter said to him, May your silver
perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God
[Holy Spirit] may be purchased with money.
(Act 8:21) You have neither part nor lot in this
matter, for your heart is NOT
right in the sight of God.
(Act 8:22) Therefore repent of this wickedness of
yours, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
***
(2Corinthains 5:5) And He Who has worked in us for this same thing is God, who also is giving to us the earnest of the
Spirit.
*** (1Peter 1:22-23) Purifying
your souls in the obedience of the Truth
through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another
fervently out of a pure heart, [John
17:17
(1Pet 1:23) having been born again, NOT of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, through the living Word of God,
and abiding forever.
… ***
(Ephesians 1:13-14) in Whom also you, Hearing the Word of Truth, the
gospel of our salvation, in Whom also believing, [Acts 15:8-9] you were Sealed
with the Holy Spirit of Promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of
His glory. [Romans 8:9]
*** (Ephesians 4:30) And do Not -> “GRIEVE” -> the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are
Sealed until the day of
redemption.

Anointing – 101”…Blog.
*** (Acts
17:11) And these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word = with all
readiness of mind = and = searched the
Scriptures = “DAILY” = to see
if those things were so [or Not].
***
(Acts 15:8-9) And God, who knows the hearts,
bore them witness, giving
them the Holy Spirit even as to us.
(Act 15:9) And He put no difference between us [Jews] and
them [Gentiles], purifying
their hearts by faith.
Do You see from the Scriptures…. “Acts 15:8-9”…. That this…..
DIVINE TRANSACTION… comes from God Alone…? You can do NOTHING to earn
Salvation: it is a… “Gift of God”…based on His: Grace, Mercy & Love…! GOD
sees our response to Him…. And then Seals us with His Holy Spirit…! Even your
response to God… comes from Him….! Please open your Bible and read “Out Loud”…. “2Timothy 2:25-26”….? GOD even gives
You… “Repentance”…!

in Christ, Roger // “Psalms 138:2”…!
