Careful with your words.
John 3
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d

True statement.
Anyway, haven't seen you in a while. Hope you are having a blessed day. Pm me anytime, but will be offline starting Monday!!! So excited.
Oh dcon is just trying to get folks to trust fully in Jesus and not in self. He is rough around the edges but a good guy.
He does have a thing against works salvation doctrine (anything where someone teaches that you have to work to earn salvation will be squashed without mercy)
However he does believe that good works will follow AFTER you have been saved as a fruit of salvation.
.just fyi if you decide to stick around this thread.

This is Truth:
9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
The Supremacy of Christ
(Hebrews 1:1-14)
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Fatherthat in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Yes....how does that apply to the fact that salvation is by faith and not works (aka the topic of the thread)
Can you briefly tell us how you would tell an unbeliever how they might be saved?
Just cuz your new to the thread and it will clear up misunderstanding.
I have mine pages back but can dig it up if you like.
