You can stick to your Amillennialism if you wish, and I'll stick with my Historic Premillennialism. Be Blessed.

Regeneration is the new life one receives at conversion. As one repents of their sins and puts their trust in Jesus, they receive new life in Christ-regeneration. John 3. There is a subsequent experience of the baptism with the Holy Spirit, after conversion/regeneration as seen in the Acts of...

God's Word, I think.

It is not 'works-based salvation'. John is his gospel and letters uses the word 'believes' in a continuous sense. One does not only have to believe initially to be saved but continue to believe to stay saved. This is not works but faith or the lack of it.

I have had a long history with melancholic depression on and off for years. I could never have survived if not for antidepressants. Everyone has a different experience I guess.

As a 1000years is mentioned about 6 times, I'm inclined to take it literally. I see the consummation of the Kingdom of God in an earthly reign of Jesus on earth as King and the Church reigning with Him.

Never tried them as they are expensive.

No idea. Does sound a bit JW's.

Present left-wing government bends over backwards to the Moslems.

Can't believe the mentality and language of shyamuraix.

All a bit negative H&H. I am a cancer survivor and am more than happy with the way I was treated, saved my life. I had radiation therapy and all the staff, doctors, nurses, radiotherapy technicians were so supportive and kind. So, I don't think you can paint them all with the same brush.
