I believe being born again goes beyond merely saying that you have accepted Christ as your personal Saviour.
Most Christian hypocrites believe that once they declare their acceptance of Jesus, they are born again. No, it goes beyond just that. Jesus Christ once announced to his followers then that the greatest Commandments in the Holy Scriptures are that you must Worship the One True God in all sincerity and Love your neighbours as you love yourself. This statement is all encompassing and the holistic essence of TRUE Worship of ONE TRUE GOD!

There are people who loved their neighbors and are in hell fire . So it goes beyond just loving your neighbors and worshiping God .

The two greatest commandments were announced by Jesus Christ as the sum of the Old Covenant Law (including the prophets) given by God to those of the blood of Jacob - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20, not the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God.

To be born-again, you you to live according to the New Covenant Law, Jesus Christ, the agreement between God and man in the Kingdom of God..

[/s]You and I don't believe in the same thing . So we can't be speaking in the same language


Secondly you've started with the selective amnesia stuff again.

And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’(Matt25:40)

Again , this has no correlation to the topic or anything thing called hellfire. Kindly stay on the topic for the sake of not looking stupid like yesterday

You are right that we don't believe in the same God since you believe instead in the god of your pastors whereas I believe only in Jesus Christ, but you mentioned Hell and there is only one Hell which happens to exist in the Kingdom of God, Kingdom ruled over by Jesus Christ.

If you had bothered to read past verse 40 there in Matthew 25 vs 40 - 46 , you would have seen where Jesus Christ informs you that it is only after His judgment that those judged evil will be ushered into Hell, not before His judgment which takes place after His return.

[/s] Kobo , you quoted only Matt25:40 . But failed to add 42 ,43 44,45 and 46 to your arguement and it wasn't until I pointed it out that you now adjusted . So we can now see how the usual selective amnesia thing is coming over you again ...?

Secondly, Hebrews 9:27 clearly states" after death comes judgement ". . That means a decision is taken by the Almighty once a person dies. And how do we know that this is true ? The stories or Lazarus and the Rich man , The body of Moses when the angel contented with the devil . And so many others.

Open your eyes....

See the dash right before the 46?

As for the parable Jesus Christ told of Lazarus and the Rich man in Luke 16 vs 19 - 31, Jesus Christ told that story to teach people what is stated in verse 31.

Regarding what is written in Hebrew, the writer does not tell tell that judgement comes immediately after death - that assumption is all you and contradicts Jesus Christ, the one who is the Jugde.

Instead you are told that judgement takes place after one dies, not before one dies, a teaching which is corroborated in Matthew 25 vs 1 - 13 and Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46

If you want to belong to Jesus Christ, you have to learn the Truth of Jesus Christ...there is no other way!

First, the bolded is the lie which has deceived many for Saving/Salvation is ONLY for those who know and understand that they are in Trouble and Damnation, hence they SOUGHT FOR SALVATION, exactly as a people in a sinking ship who are in peril are the ones who cry for salvation and not those in the lifeboats.

Therefore, any who has not cried for help and salvation can not be saved simply because he spoke out some words. The bolded is completely unnecessary and is only put there to deceive both themselves and others.

Secondly, I have seen that people have not Truly pondered what "Acceptance of Christ" means especially that word "acceptance"

When you woo a lady and she says "Yes" does it always mean she accepted? Or when a fault is alleged and you were asked "did you do it?" Is your "I did it always acceptance of wrong doing?

A True Acceptance is always willfull and conscious knowing that you are immediately bound by the Terms and Conditions (Contract) of the Acceptance.

Thus, many have never accepted Christ, even though they said the words of "I accept Christ", hence they never did any tangible thing, exactly as the girl who said "I agree" yet nothing happened.

Acceptance of Christ means acceptance to be bound by His Laws (Terms and Conditions) and these Laws, people do not want, so NO CONTRACT with Christ!

Which is why we have another specie of people who have by their own power altered and varied The Contract which God gives to all men calling on people to take up their own Fabrication of God's Contract!
