And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
- Revelation 20:4-6
1 Cor. 15:53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
When Jesus Christ appears at the last trump, two distinct events take place. The first is that we are ALL changed from flesh bodies to spiritual bodies, or from corruptible flesh to incorruptible spirit, and it applies to everyone. Additionally, the second event is known as the First Resurrection to immortality. The saints who are now in their spiritual bodies are resurrected to the status of IMMORTALITY.
Much confusion in the minds of Christians would be cleared up if people took the time to understand the distinction between the resurrection of the body and the resurrection of the soul to immortality.

I take it you choose not to believe everything Jesus Christ has revealed; this is not good.

Hello, I have been thinking about the OP and the different posts, but have not received any revelation on what Jesus was talking about to Nicodemus. But I'm glad to have an understanding of these views on this thread and more on other site forums.
I was looking at: It is by scripture we as Christians are not Born Again until we are caught up to be with Christ 1 Thessalonians 4:17, and 1 Corinthians 15:51-58
But here are some views from Bing:
In Christianity, being born again means having a spiritual renewal or change of heart by accepting Jesus as the Savior and Lord. It is not about physical birth or external requirements, but about receiving salvation and becoming part of God’s family1.
The phrase “born again” is frequently misinterpreted. Looking at its primary reference, we see that its meaning is not about physical birth, but about experiencing a spiritual renewal. It is an expression used by many Protestants to define the moment or process of fully accepting faith in Jesus Christ. It is an experience when the teachings of Christianity and Jesus become real, and the “born again” acquire a personal relationship with God2.
Also, we will be in prayer about this process.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say...

is this what your refering too.
It's a good question if you are.
Because personaly I believe that is when you reçieve salvation.
And being saved is distinct from this.
This is why I'm hesitant to boast in my infirmities.
Do you believe the current state of your body is immortal without yet being glorified?
Do you know what type of glorified body that will be ?.
I dont, I have studied it.
It makes suggestion it will be imperishable but that's it.
Could be anything really.
Could be a celestial body.
Could be a new type of earthly body who knows,
You need to read the scriptures in context, @Nehemiah6, and go a little deeper.
You CAN know if you have eternal life.
I John 5
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
This is the record...
Please let me know if you have any questions.
I John 5
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
This is the record...
Please let me know if you have any questions.
As a matter of fact I have gone "a little deeper" and that is why I am showing you your error. Take it or leave it.
You will not find me taking Scriptures out of context to make a point. I told you that the first resurrection is in three phases and you turned around and reposted phase three, instead of seriously giving some further study to the three phases. Why is the First Resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20? Because later on the Second Resurrection will also be mentioned in that chapter. The First Resurrection is for the just, and the Second for the unjust.

Not at all. We need to know that we are justified. We need to believe God. Satan still tries to trick people as he did in Eden. The conditions to be justified are clearly laid out in God's word. If we take God at His word, we are safe and secure in His faithfulness. If we are trying to justify ourselves, as often happened in NT times, we are still in our sins. Our righteousness is still filthy rags to God. Those who imagine that obeying all the commandments (we cannot) make them acceptable to God are deluded. There are still some who insist that sabbath observance and food laws are essential, even though God's word is clear on these issues. People who trust in anything other than the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, and His resurrection from the dead, are dead in their sins still.
