jayloyexten:A born again can sin, yes. The crux of the matter for me is that, to live above sin is to be spiritually minded as has been stated and to live otherwise is to love in sin. A lot of Christians still struggle with their fleshly desires which are the cause of sin and yet plenty are born again but salvation is for those who endure to the end sha. |

Sins are what distinguishes men from God. I seriously doubt there is a man alive who has not sinned even if it is in error. You can never guarantee that any man is less sinful than another. Which is why its best to approach God directly. Anything that ate, slept , drank, prayed, defecates is human and can never be God. Men can guide you to God, teach you on how to reach God due to their knowledge. No man should ever be given the rights of God. |

You might wonder why it seems people don't change there ways totally. Remember, even before the coming of the Son of God the people committed sin and had a requirement to make sacrifice to the forgiveness of sin with lambs, doves and incense at a certain season and time. So also past believers tried to compare that with the Lamb of God and asked if they will make similar with the new gospel. Paul explains: Heb 9:24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; Heb 9:25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another-- Heb 9:26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Our gospel has been tainted by our forebears because most could not accept the simplicity of it. That is why I advice u not just read scripture by verses but by each book to get the message lost. I pray Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, making the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, |

Nice Topic To me 1..it is because the more u close to God the greater the challenges that can pull u back from God. The devil believe that ur level in God determine how bright the expected crown if glory seem b4 u, as u walk with God daily u see the crown of glory brighter than someone whose level in God is lower sees his own. Also the devil believe that an 80% level christian will fall to 40 or 30% level, and such christian will need twice the energy he used in getting to 80% at first to reach 80% again. The more reason why it is not difficult for a newly born again christian to grow at great pace than a backslided christian.. A newly born again christian takes every instruction given to him/her to grow, while a backslided one will still be dwelling on his past glory, u give him instruction he will smile and say I kno about that already... [/b]2. God often use burning bush to explain[b] if u r passing thru a chronic sin in ur life, God want to drive out a bush that will not get burnt from u, so u can attract sinners when u finally overcome the particular sin. If there was no something spectacular about the burning bush Moses will not turn to look, he turned cos [/b] bush was burning and it does not consume[b] so that particular sin in ur life will not kill u, it will attract people to learn from u... |

Is Being "Born Again" tantamount to having Salvation or being Saved? How can one be Born again and still Sin? Sounds contradictory, dosent it? How then is the person Born Again? What's the difference? If one was Born Again and still sins, doesn't it mean that they aren't actually Born Again ? Ipso facto, doesn't it mean the person isn't saved ? Let's say the "Trumpets sounds " today, would the person be saved, considering that they still sin despite being born again ?? Or could it be that the "Born Again" situation is that condition of the heart where an individual's conscience comes alive and they attain a consciousness of constantly watching their conduct , always reverts to God in prayer to seek forgiveness whenever they commit some sin ? Give or take, it is sounding more to me that this widely bandied view of "being born again and still sin" is abusing the Grace so people can continue to live in sin while basking in the glorious delusion of being "born again and saved". |

Well, I honestly do love this and fully understand what the OP has written. But may I add also... When micro organisms are transferred from their natural habitat to a medium culture, it is for the purpose of isolation and identification. The culture medium contains their necessary nutritional requirement for growth and reproduction. At the first instance, the micro organism adapts to its new environment at which its growth is slow. After this, it goes into its exponential phase where its growth and reproduction is most active and rapid. Accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour takes you from your natural habitat (the world) to your spiritual habitat (the kingdom of God), which is your culture medium. Your ability to adapt to your new environment is by the spirit of adoption, Holy spirit (Rom 8:15). The kingdom of God has all the necessary nutritional requirement for your spiritual growth. One thing with growth factors is that they are substances required for growth and can not be synthesized by the organism. It is in God that you receive your growth requirement, you can't get it by yourself. The Holy spirit takes you to your exponential phase when you yield to Him. At this point, your spiritual growth and reproduction, which is your multiplication is very active and rapid. The evidence of your spiritual growth are the fruits you bear. We are being isolated and identified with Christ. You must first be isolated from the world before you can be identified with christ. Don't worry if your spiritual growth seems to be slow or even stagnant. In fact, we are commanded not to worry (Phil 4:6-7, Matt 6:25_34). You are a work-in-progress, just yield yourself and surrender completely to Him. Matt 16:24 says; then Jesus said to His disciples if any one wishes to come after me,he must first deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. He has given us the power to choose, He works with what we choose. Do you desire to follow Him but still holding back to yourself, to that which is not? Mark 10:28; Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You". All you basically have to do is to surrender and follow him. Be the clay and let Him mould you, be the vessel and let Him fill you, be the light and let Him be your source of power. Be the carrier of His presence. |

kindredspirit:Please take time to find; 1: What Jesus said about How one becomes born again. 2: How sin was handled before Christ. 3: What grace is, what the law is. 4: Read all of the book of Romans, especially continuing from where is says: Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound. |
