I am new to this forum, and have been asked to stay, and learn more of Biblical scripture. The teachings that brought me to Christ, and to God's Divine Love, are not what most people here, would consider as "sanctioned". Nevertheless, I wish to know what you good people know, from scripture. As I am not nearly as well versed in that regard. The revelation I wish to focus on, is the following : "Except a man be born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.John 3:7." How much is explained in formal scripture about this birth that Jesus is referring to? Love and Blessings to All, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter preached in Acts 2 the first sermon to the church, 2000 were saved that day by it, I recommend you read it, I suspect that all that was needed to be saved was included in that first message, the day the Holy Spirit fell, and the day the first sermon was preached by the newly Spirit filled Apostles. Paul himself double checked his ministry by checking with those in Jerusalem (Gal 2:2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bible lays out all these steps, belief, repentance, and baptism. There are numerous verses that discuss that for example.. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Romans 6:3-5. does that make sense??

Love and Blessings to All, I expect it is a typo, but I just want to make sure.....John 3:7 reads(ASV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. In John 3:3 we see it written.....Jesus answered and said to him, verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Other verses that you may want to look at are 1 peter 1:23, 1:18...Luke 1:68, 24:21...Galatians 3:13 and Rev. 5:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Kingdom of Heaven exists even now. There is also a Kingdom of the world which has been defeated and awaits Judgment. We are born into the Kingdom of the world by the very fleshly will of man; Ro 9:8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the descendants. The children of the promise and of the Kingdom of Heaven are born by Faith; Ro 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. Sarah was old and past child bearing age. to receive the promise she had to believe even as her husband had. Jesus Christ claimed to be the only begotten Son of God. Begotten by God not in a fleshy way but born from above by the will of God who is a Spirit; 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit. 1Co 15:46 But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Your corruptible sin stained flesh will die; Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Yet the Gift of God is eternal life and the Kingdom, received by faith, in jesus Christ. Jesus Christ took your death and flesh to the cross and even further to the Grave, then He made an open show of your death and the Grave, and defeated the kingdom of this world in the ressurection power of His Spirit which could not die for He is Life; Col 2:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
