Can you share what has changed for you? Longer waits for appointments? Loss of access to certain drugs? Cessation of some particular program?

Nope. One must be born again so that they will do the will of God. STILL...you have not shown how someone who is opposed and hostile towards God, who does no good, and who possesses no righteousness, suddenly is inclined to acquiesce to God. The reason one does is because God births them from...

That's what I said.

You can disagree, but you didn't create your physical life, and no one can create their own spiritual life. Being born from above tells you who births someone spiritually. And the whole purpose in Jesus relaying that the Spirit who births spiritually moves sovereignly is to further this truth...

You should take your own advice here.

It's not about salvation, but restoration. You can try to make it fit, but it doesn't support your argument.

No, it is the only step in faith. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Once you believe, you have faith. Hence, since we are saved by grace THROUGH FAITH, anyone possessing faith is saved. Now I will grant you that faith will lead us to perform many things, but once someone...

The invisible things of God are known by the things that are seen. Hence, the spiritual is discerned from what is seen. Physical birth teaches about spiritual birth. Thus, having nothing to do with your physical birth portends having nothing to do with your spiritual birth.

Paul wrote that well after having been converted. And he wrote it as an exhortation to those who are saved to continue in holiness. It has nothing to do with conversion. STILL...you have failed to relate how someone opposed and hostile towards God, who does no good, and who possesses no...

And I showed you that converted there did not mean salvation but reconciliation. I went on to show where that reconciliation took place, and that it preceded Pentecost. Peter certainly filled the requirement of salvation because he possessed eternal life. That, according to John 17:3, is knowing...

How does someone obey God who is hostile to Him, does no good, and possesses no righteousness, unless God first convert them? You have sinners acting righteously. That does not happen apart from a work of God.

Are you referring to when Jesus told Peter of his impending denial? The word converted used their is not salvation, but restoration. Which fits perfectly with Jesus' later words to Peter...feed my sheep. Notice, this came before Pentecost, and Peter was restored; not converted or saved.

So when someone has Christ revealed to them by the Father, eternal life according to John 17:3, they possess eternal life but aren't saved? That sounds right to you? You still haven't dealt with the fact that you have people who are hostile to God, who do no good, and who possess no...

The baby had nothing to do with its birth. It simply happened to the infant. So too when one is born again. The Spirit blows where it wills.

Can you broadly outline the book of Revelation?

Also, the image of God in man was marred in man because of sin. This is what Jesus came to restore. It is part of Jesus destroying the works of the devil.

Why do you deny what the Bible clearly teaches concerning the condition of fallen man? And why do you misrepresent what I believe? That man is hostile towards God, does no good, and is not righteous is easily found in the Bible. What these actually entail may not be readily discernible, but to...

I'm glad you mentioned conversion. What is conversion? Who performs conversion?

It's not. The book of Revelation brings to an end the old covenant. God promised sanctions upon Israel in Deuteronomy for failing to keep the terms of the old covenant. Revelation is the revealing of those sanctions that would soon come upon Israel.
