It does to children and every Christian I've ever met.Being born again is a requirement before you can do the meat. You won't understand the sincere Milk of The Word of God if you're not born again.Getting to know The Holy Spirit is impossible unless He lives inside you. That happens when you're saved or receive salvation (same thing). One need merely believe upon Jesus for salvation (which means to be saved) and then one is given The Holy Spirit. It's really that simple.You made that up. We don't crucify our emotions and feelings. We crucify the works of our flesh, but we still have emotions and feelings or we would be robots. :duh:
I said
Lets see what is the big difference between us. I have the Word abiding in me, and I get all my beliefs from the Word.
You have a wild imagination, and you get all your beliefs from your imagination. Because you don't have the Word abiding in you.
John 5:38-41
38 "But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
39 "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
40 "But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 "I do not receive honor from men.
