Remove the word...die......from your reference.

Being born again (repentance, baptism, living a righteous life) is putting away the old sinful person and re-appearing as a new person....cleansed and committed to following Christ as a Christian.
Kudos to you for using the correct status here on earth .....born again....as opposed to the offensive term to God......saved.....while here on earth.
Shades of hyper-calvinism!

in other words. You can't answer.

ie, non responsive.

yet in the very next post you claim I was non responsive.

You know what a hypocrite is?
That is what happens when you try to reason the gospel with Calvinism.

They are not the same gospel. Hyper Calvinists believe you do not know you are saved until you are at the judgement seat even though you are part of the elect. It boggles the mind.

I don't care what your answer is...as long as it is clear and represents God's word.
Yours did not.
You should try to remove that huge Calvinism filter you see the world through.

God says...judge righteously.

You really do sound like your mentor. I would not care to see his judgement when the time comes.

Satan?

Reminder...he will disagree but never with scriptures...if so .......then scriptures totally unrelated.
A troll?; probably.
New age religion leftist; most likely. They oppose...but with no Bible support. They
disagree and want proof...when submitted they avoid, ignore or reject with no reason.

whatever.

I do not go by the doctrine of Peldom10

I go by the doctrine of Christ.

Born again = regeneration. = made alive = given eternal life.

Jesus told nicodemus how to be born again, and told us what it meant (will never perish but has eternal life)

John 17:2-3~ You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom You have sent.:)

I won't post it. Read it for yourself.
Why do people come on here to ask such questions?
1. They want someone else to do all their legwork.
2. They want to stir up controversy for the fun of it.
3. They want to push their false doctrine.
4. They want to be the big man on campus.
5.They won't study to show themselves approved.
6. All of the above.

*Sometimes, they just want to know, but that's rare.
