I don't know if any body here is in my shoe... Since I was born I have attended many crusade and church services. During any of the services, any time the instruction is prescribed that all who wish to denounce sin and become born again should come out to receive prayers, me no they carry last to follow go out to be born again at that moment. The issue is, my being born again at any point in time doesn't take much time before it expires. Just at the moment I decide to be born again the holyholy will be there but by the time the holyholy run into 2 to 3 days it begins to desolve till I go back to the status quo. The logic behind this is that, if Jesus is to come withing the shortest time that follows the moment of my being born again that means heaven sure me die but if na after it has expired OYO is my case but Jesus will surely consider my seriousness by looking at the number of times I have come to him...

Pls how can someone be permanently born again without much sin ?

Note: he get some things wey Christians go count as sin and wey if ah no do na hunger go kill me...

Christian brothers over to you...

guy. . .as much as i hate to comment on NL, i just have to give a bit of my thought having been in your shoes some years back. . . .


Its simple

Man is made up of the spirit, soul and body. . .

When you confess ur sins and ask God to forgive you as you believe in the sacrifice of christ, which is th whole summary of being born again. . . @diz point, your spirit man is saved and the truth is that only your spirit is saved!!! Thats all my brother!!!

Your soul/mind will, after the whole born again ish, continue to experience wars. . .the kind that you are experiencing but it is alryt!!

E no mean say u never born again. . .this is the reason why you need to just accept yourself the way you are cos there is no amount of born again that can end the battle of the mind/soul. . .


Which brings me to the last part - Your Body. . .
Oboy. .forget this part, it cannot be saved until it is buried and lifeless. . .
Your body will always crave, always want, always need and so. . .your body is not saved and cannot be saved till the life in it is gone.


So, wetin u go do?
Do wat u can and thank God for what you cant!

Dont bother goin awt for born again cos you dont need it. . .

Enjoy your Life while its stil there. . .fvck, love, drink, smoke, pray, tithe/give(no mind freeze oo. .e dey tithe oo, beliv me)


Dahsall!!

keep deceiving yourself. U think grace is free because they call it grace? U need to position yourself to be engraced and that is what i am telling him nw including u. U cannot continue defiling yourself and be saying ' we are not under law but under grace'.

Many people misinterprete this subject of grace. Grace is not a license to sin ,but an enablement to defeat sin.

So if u stil find yourself committing sin after giving your life to christ, it means u are abusing the grace which attracts grave consequencies.
far be it that grace is a license to sin
you cannot be saved by fleshly efforts
grace doesnt allow you to even sin
once you are saved, the devil fights your emotions so your relationship with God is dampened
once you do anything to help yourself, its no longer Grace

You can not be born again and still live sin. But as many that received him to them gave He power to become the children of God. John 1:12. As a born again Christian you have power to become God's child. Do not be deceived. You cannot eat your cake and still have it.

what do u mean by 'once you do anything to help yourself , its no longer Grace?

Righteousness is a fight , what grace does is to empower u to fight and win. And not by folding your hands and expect grace to fight for u. If i give u a car key to drive for easy mobility and u keep ur car Key in ur wardrobe , wil the car drive u by itself? U can sit in the car all day and not move an inch. Does that mean u dnt have what it takes to move with speed?

That is how grace is, it is an empowerment u engage to defeat sin. U cannot neglect the grace given to u at new birth to dominate sin and expect to live righteous. The grace is there, use it and see hw u walk gallantly over sin like it never existed, not sitting dwn and be saying if u do anything to help yourself then it is no longer grace.

You are not born again the day you came out to be prayed for. But you are born again the day you decide within your heart to obey God's word.

For now, you don't want to let go of formication. Keep living in it, until the day you will realize that it leads to destruction, then you will repent anf return to God.

eagleonearth:
when I gave my heart to Jesus I caught fire that is still burning in me today (8 yrs). When you get born again, you become afraid of sin even if you get enticed. Joseph ran away from free sex with a beautiful lady. Where is the power to become a child of God Jesus promised those who will receive him in John 1:12? Being born again is being transformed from a natural man with hunger for sin to a spiritual man with hunger for God. Spiritual exercises you now carry out to keep yourself from being lukewarm include studying the word and living it, prayer and fasting, fellowshiping with brethren etc. Hey, sincerity and honesty is key to relating well with God. He doesn't change. Wesley brothers, Charles Finney, Paul, and others who changed the world were not unserious like the op. You shall seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart - Jere 29:13.

So, you believe yourself without sin, eh?

Pierohandsome:
nothing else to tell u. Do u need prayer and fasting to be willing? Willingness is a choice and is personal, whn u are willing u repent.

If u tell me that u are willing but finding it hard to maintain ur decision ,that is a different thing. But telling us is not easy to be willing is whr no one can help to make that choice but u urselve. Whn u make choice genuinely to repent, the enablement wil come. Bt in ur own case that is not the issue, ur own issue is enjoying sin and not ready to repent ,and telling me to tell u steps on hw to be willing. Does that sound sensible to u?
bro no vess o, have you ever committed any sin since you became born again.

Don't let those doing holier than thou here deceive you. Most of them are far worse than you, especially all these pentecostals. There is virtually no day that you will not hear the Pastors embroiled in one show or the other. What do you expect to achieve in those churches? they are only increasing you in sin. I am personally acquainted with 2 pentecostal pastors who confided in me that they are secretely maintaining more than one wife (they think I will approve because I am a Muslim, but it is hypocrisy).

You better become an observant Muslim if you want to truly repent. If you insist on staying a Christian, JW is the only moderately non-hypocritical Christian sect. All the others fornicate Monday to Saturday, then go to church on Sunday to 'ask forgiveness'. They cannot help your case.

Being born again has nothing to do with the numerous Altar Calls that Pastors make.
You get born again the moment you are baptized (See John 3).
But then, there is still the possibility of sinning or reverting to habitual sins - dancing to the dictates of the flesh. This is exactly where you need to look inwards and have an internal discussion.
Do you feel bad about this sins?
Do you know you offend God -our loving Father, when you sin?
Do you know your sins hurt him and strains the relationship that you have with him?

You can pull away from this sins. It's a gradual process.
If you are a baptized Christian, then your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.(1 Cor. 3).
Call on the Holy Spirit of God, this day.
Ask him to assist you and make conscious efforts to quit your sinful habits.
Study the word of God frequently.
God bless you.

Being born again simply means you have accepted and recognized Christ as you Lord and savior. The fact that you do certain things doesn't judge you as a sinner. What judges you ad a sinner is your conscience. As along as you put God first in everything you do, helping yourself to identify right from wrong in your environment, you need nothing else.

You can only become born-again once. If you are saved, you are saved forever. Salvation is no more by your works but by the grace you have entered by confession. Let no more deceive you that you have lost your salvation by sinning. Gal 3:1 -2 should assure you. However, sin is a major stumbling block into experiencing the fullness of glory of God through Jesus. If you keep sinning, you have simply not allowed the Holy Spirit to nail your old person to the cross. You need the baptism of the Holy Spirit to overcome the urge and grow spiritually. You equally need to give yourself to the ministry of the Word (which will be brought to the bare by the illumination of the Holy Spirit) and not the doctrine or interpretation of men of the flesh.
In a nut shell, commit yourself to studying the Word and pray for the gift of the Holy Spirit to help you remain steadfast.

i didnt have to do anything and i was born a sinner by one man's sin
now i have to do something to become righteous even after one man's forever sacrifice?

Romans 5:17  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

its a gift my brother, that car you gave to me you wouldnt start giving me conditions on how to receive the gift na. it then ceases to be a gift

You can only be born again once. After this you need to work out your salvation and renew your mind daily. It's not a linear journey but a cyclical once. Even pastors and the pope have to go through many cycles to become better children of God.
