Redundant. If people are not born again then they are not Christian. People can be believers in the intellectual sense. That does not impress God. "You must be born again," said Jesus.

Right, so not a Roman man called Ian. Thanks. I don't understand what "The symbol early Christian wrote me" is supposed to mean. Yes they were fishers of men, but what has writing me got to do with that?
 
Reading stones It something important Jesus did it im not saying why, you seek or don't up to you what I'm not understanding Is why doesn't anyone just Ask The Lord on their own,? Isn't that also what makes An anointed like ,or Christ like?
then come back and share what has inspired.
didnt Paul exercise that with the other apostles.?

You say that reading stones is important and Jesus did it. You then say that you are not saying why He did that, and it is up to us whether we seek or not. Well, I have sought. I looked up all occurrences of the word "stones" in the New Testament, and found 19. Here they are:

Mat_3:9 and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Mat_4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
Mat_23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
Mrk_5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Mrk_12:4 Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
Mrk_13:1 Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"
Luk_3:8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Luk_13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
Luk_19:40 But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."
Luk_21:5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,
Jhn_8:59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Jhn_10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
1Co_3:12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
2Co_3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
1Pe_2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Rev_17:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
Rev_18:12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
Rev_18:16 and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
Rev_21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

I cannot see one mention in those 19 verses of Jesus reading stones.

If you find a stone on the ground, you have to examine it closely to understand its story. Some stones are rough, jagged, and sharp because they have been broken by harsh elements. Others are completely smooth because they have spent years being worn down by running water.
