My problem is...
Who is a born again?
Who certifies someone a born again?
What are the scriptural procedure of becoming a born again?
What is the scriptural reasons why someone is born again?

Scriptural answers pls.

Whatever you say.... Remember Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus.

Bacteriologist:


And thank you for understanding why we do not take you lots a tad seriously when you say that Christianity is the most tolerant and loving religion.

Your initial reply will be evidence for me and so many others that will go through the thread now and in the distant future that one of the most uncouth, barbaric and hateful minds you will find are Christians.

doggedfighter:
Looks like you are a born again Christian?

Dantedasz:
Christians representing their religion very well on this thread with insults.

DECEIVE URSELF WITH UR WORTHLESS AND DIRECTIONLESS REASONINGS. THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH U DON'T BELIEVE EXUST WILL JUDGE YOU TO UR UTTER CONFUSION. CHANGE UR LIFESTYLE AND NEGATIVE ATHIEST REASONINGS. HELL FIRE IS REAL.

When we sin, we are expected to humbly go before God and request forgiveness of sin with faith and believe in His word that " If we confess our sins, he is ready and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us of our unrighteousness"- 1John.

So, when we sin and we are before God, we should humbly confess then go ahead to praying to God.
However, there is grace that teaches us to righteous. This means that God does not expect us to continue to meddle in sin because we know he would always forgive us. I hope this clears? Feel free to ask further

doggedfighter:

Wonderful, I'm not . How would you make heaven with your flaws

Okikaneseokwu:
U already know the truth,but u are shading away from it.
First,u must be remorseful and show willingness not to go back to that particular sin.Ur heart must be made up first,that why psalm 51:17 says the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart,Oh God u will not despise.Once u humble urself,he is true and just to hear u.

What's the only means of communicating with God? isn't through prayer?

If God doesn't answers the prayer of a sinner, then it'll be pointless saying a sinner should God PRAY to God for forgiveness.

The point here should be, God answers everyone prayers and the answers to your prayers depends on the contents of your heart and what the prayer is being aim at.


If a sinner go asking for protection from God will not answer such a prayer because of that time... that isn't a kind of prayer God expect from him/her.

Being righteous doesn't also means God will answer to every prayer you prayed.

See there's a lot things that aren't clear, I think the original bible has been through a lot of manipulation.

dipotol:


Well, you are right. God answers prayers, even prayers of "sinners". However, I will like you to read the content of what I was trying to explain which is the fact that God wants us to grow out of sins that impedes our spiritual growth. He wants us to continually grow to be like Him

dipotol:

A born again individual is a regenerated person in Christ, someone that has encountered the Love of God and is daily sharing it to everyone around even his enemies. A born again is a new creature after the image of Christ, growing up in His knowledge to attain His full measure.

The Holy spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Roman's 8;9. After surrendering our life to the Lordship of Christ, He assures us a holy spirit who will be our comforter, helper, friend that will be with us forever. He gives us the assurance of our hope in Christ Jesus

To become a born again, very simple; Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ came and died for your sins to give you a new life in Him, confess Him as your Lord and saviour wholeheartedly and start your journey in Him by getting to know Him by the Holy spirit. He is the Word of God and that's the guaranteed way to know Him, by His words. The Word of God is the Bible, get it and meditate on it. In fact, this assures good success and prosperity in whatever we do

We need to be born again to firstly be assured of eternal security with God. The plan of salvation is to redeem man of his sins and be reconciled to God.
God really loves us, yes he does, he loves everyone but we have gone astray with sins and worldly pleasures, He is still very much interested in us no matter how far we have gone. The Word of God says Even while we are yet sinners, he loved us. He has given us everything that pertains to life. We just need to come to that understanding and come to surrender before Him and would start ordering our steps.

Don't be distracted about religious activities ( Christianity). Although, the Bible says we should not forsake the assembly of one another but religious is a very different thing and so less important compared to our salvation. These days, most people that claim to be a Christian do not actually know Christ because Christ said if anyone says he loves me and does not love his brothers, he has not known me and he is a liar. The love of God is shed abroad for everyone even if you are involve in the deepest crime ever but the love wants to transform your life and give you an expected end in Christ Jesus.

I pray the Holy spirit explains this better to our individual hearts, God loves you. God bless everyone

ENEMYOFGOD6:

What's sin ? Can you define sin for me ??

TruthHurts100:


I appreciate your effort to trying to react to this. You love God and his word. It's so obvious.

But....
Are you saying you can personally determine is you want to be born again or not?

Remember the first set of disciples of Christ who first got born again in Pentecost 33CE? Did they determine their being born again?

According to John, he only baptize with just water.... But said one is coming who will baptize with water and spirit. What does this mean?

Same thing Jesus said when he was talking to Nicodemus when he asked Christ what he must do to enter God's kingdom, Jesus said he must be born again. John 3:2,3
Uncle Nico then asked how possible that is, Jesus then explained in same John 3:4,5

To be born again means to be adopted as sons of God. Do you tell a man to give birth to you? I guess not... The man determines if to bore you or not. Ephesians 1:5

And what is the prospect of those born again.?

I'm asking because you said to be born again is simple. Meanwhile from the examples in the Bible, it was God who chooses who become born again.

What do you think?

doggedfighter:

You should apologize to him and ask your god for forgiveness

Professorcplus:
If sinning means going to hell then I tell you there is nothing like sin because hell does not exist. It is only manmade imaginations.

You can only commit crimes.

it's only a fool that said in his heart that there is no God , you are domed and condemned , you better repent now

dipotol:


I'm glad in your desire for more, of course everyone including me should desire to know more of God.

Yes, I said it is simple because yes, it is of our own will that we will come to terms with ourselves that I want to become born again. That is why it is different from the normal human giving birth that which a parent decide to give birth, this is in line with Jesus's response to nicodemus that unless "someone" is born, He didnt say unless God decides to give birth to someone again, lol, dont mind me. But what am I trying to insinuate, the conversation went further to the most popular scripture that for God so loved the whole world that He gave His only begotten Son( you see the part of God here, God has already done His part because he loves us) that "anyone who believes"( if I'm correct, this is an action word that falls to responsibility of a man).

Faith comes by hearing and by hearing of the Word of God, how would they know unless they are being told- this is a paraphrase of one of Jesus's teachings meaning we are going to be told about the Love of God just as everyone is seeing this again but it is now a personal decision to yield to the proposal of God's love towards us

Also, it is important to know that at the end of the day, it is God that helps to convict a sinner's heart and not the words of men. Although, God will use the spoken words of men to reach out to someone who is not spiritually sensitive that cannot hear the voice of God. Once men speak, the spirit of God does the work of conviction on man's heart. But you know it is something else for God to be convicting us and we not yielding.

Any other thing my brother?

blazepascal:
what do you mean by sin does not exist ,Are you a christian.

Where's the god, sef

kernniejay:

He is a Spirit, nobody can see Him with ordinary eyes. No science or technology can discover Him. He lives in heaven, beyond the skies. He is the maker of life and the entire universe.

This is supposed to be meant for true Christians alone, not people like you that can't differentiate between life and death.

OpenYourEyes1:
Not asking GOD for forgiveness during prayers or when you mistakenly commit sin.
 There are sins we commit that are not deliberate. We must always ask our FATHER to pardon us for such sins, HE will pardon us.
HE is pleased with our humility. HE will forgive you and cleanse you.

Always remember to praise & show HIM great appreciations for prayers answered. This pleases HIM too, alot! I normally say "FATHER, I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for all you have done for me"
