What Does it Mean to be Born Again?

[God's Truth]

Paul taught the law as well as the Gospel. Both the law and the Gospel can convince one of sin. But the law does not justify, Romans 3:20. Only Jesus Christ can justify, Romans 3:26.

So you are saying Paul taught the old law to Greeks and Gentiles?

Paul taught spiritual instructions, but the thrust of Paul's ministry was the preaching of the Gospel.

 

[God's Truth]

Paul taught spiritual instructions, but the thrust of Paul's ministry was the preaching of the Gospel.

What?

Paul taught what we must do, and you preach against that.

 

[God's Truth]

This thread is about being born again.

We are born again after repenting of our sins and having those sins washed away.

We are born again, meaning no sins just like having a new life without any sins.

 

[Robert Pate]

What?

Paul taught what we must do, and you preach against that.

You don't believe the Gospel and justification by faith. Instead you want to believe that your works or obedience will justify. Big shock for you in the judgment.

 

[God's Truth]

You don't believe the Gospel and justification by faith. Instead you want to believe that your works or obedience will justify. Big shock for you in the judgment.

Those who obey words of SPIRIT AND LIFE will not get shocked with shame before God.

You are without even sense that is common.

The only thing that God acknowledges is faith. "Without faith it is impossible to please him". Works and obedience count for nothing.

 

[God's Truth]

The only thing that God acknowledges is faith. "Without faith it is impossible to please him". Works and obedience count for nothing.

Faith without right action is dead.

There is no such thing as faith alone.

 

[Robert Pate]

Faith without right action is dead.

There is no such thing as faith alone.

Of course there is. Salvation is by faith alone because it is by Christ alone.

Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 

[God's Truth]

Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

So you think scripture pits itself against itself?

Faith without right action is dead.

The scripture you posted about not of works so no one can boast, it is about the purification works the Jews used to be able to boast about.

 

[God's Truth]

Of course there is. Salvation is by faith alone because it is by Christ alone.

That is the mantra of your false teachers. Tell me the scripture that says exactly what you said.

Wrong! Faith is the source of good works.

 

[God's Truth]

Wrong! Faith is the source of good works.

Faith without right action is dead. Faith with right action is alive.

 

[Robert Pate]

That is the mantra of your false teachers. Tell me the scripture that says exactly what you said.

Simply because salvation is by Christ alone, it must be by faith alone.

 

[Bright Raven]

Faith without right action is dead. Faith with right action is alive.

You must have faith to have good works.

 

[God's Truth]

You must have faith to have good works.

You must have living faith to be saved and to stay saved.

 

[God's Truth]

Simply because salvation is by Christ alone, it must be by faith alone.

Faith alone is dead.

 

[Bright Raven]

Faith alone is dead.

What I have been telling you is that good works are an outgrowth of Faith.

 

[God's Truth]

What I have been telling you is that good works are an outgrowth of Faith.

No. Faith alone is DEAD and cannot save anyone.
