..... "Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."...John 3:3.

Real life begins with a second birthday. If you really want to know whether or not you are really destined to spend eternity with God, answer this question: how many times have you been born? If you've only been born once you're going to die twice. You're going to die physically and you're going to die spiritually. But if you've been born twice, you're only going to die once.Most people have religion, but very few people have ever been Biblically born-again. Unless you are born again, you absolutely cannot go to Heaven (John 3:5).
You were born because God chose to give you physical life. You were born again because God chose to give you spiritual life. Being born again is not making a new start in life, it is receiving a new life to start with. It is the one essential thing you must have if you're going to spend eternity with God. You must be born again!

Simply put, to be “born again” means to have He (Jesus) Who is the beginning born in you.
The reason why you need to be “spiritually” born is because you have never been spiritually born to begin with. So when the Bible speaks of being “born again,” it actually means “born for the second time.” You were born physically into this world, but you were born without the Spirit of God in your soul (spiritually dead). Yes, God created you, but He gave you a freewill to decide for yourself where you will spend eternity.

God never forces anyone to accept Jesus as their Savior. He simply offers a warm invitation to anyone who wants to have their sins forgiven and go to Heaven. Salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15; 6:23), paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:18,19; Revelation 1:5). We must accept God's gift of eternal life or it WILL be forever forfeited when we leave this world (die).

A person cannot understand the Bible without the presence of the Author, and God is the Author. When you become born-again (or born for the second time), God's Holy Spirit comes into your body (1st Corinthians 3:16), never to leave (Hebrews 13:5), and you will begin to understand many new things for the first time in your life...

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” —2nd Corinthians 5:17

It is ONLY through the Precious Word of God that anyone can be born-again. Surely, no one can be born into this world again physically. There is no turning back the hands of time. However, you most certainly can be born again, spiritually, into God's family through the Spirit of Christ... “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9).


Again, being born-again means having He Who is the Beginning (Jesus Christ) born in you.” Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Isn't that beautiful. When a person is born-again, the Spirit of Christ comes to live in that person's body. “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His” (Romans 8:9b). This birth comes about only through faith in the Son of God.

Today is your day....say yes you Jesus and receive a new life!

Religion --- The Opiate Of The People


Reject Religion And Accept Spirituality.


Religion is for those who are afraid of hell,

Spirituality is for those who have been there.


These prophets and men of God are no better than you.
The life giving spirit in them dwells in you too.
You are God-Man
Your Humanity, Your Divinity.

which of the two questions is wrong? I'd prefer you answer the first question before proceeding to the second...

ezebrain:
Do you think that all those who died in accident were either saints or sinners?

ezebrain:
Once again you accused God of being arbitrary and sentimental.

ezebrain:
Now your statement implies that god made a mistake by offering mankind a free will.

The question is: How long does the salvation of the Soul take? Does it take place instantly as opined by John Crowder in ( http://www.thenewmystics.com/Articles/1000129594/Home_Page_of/Articles/Sanctification_is_Not.aspx ) or does it take an unspecified period which may be for a lifetime as posited by Erwin Gane ( http://www.sabbathfellowship.org/biblestudies/erwingane/biblestudy_gane_sanctify.htm )

If you can read the two articles, please do and share your views and while you are at that answer this question too:

If a convert undergoing the salvation of the soul dies in sin where would that person go?

a. Heaven
b. Hell

Please choose an option first and explain your choice.
