Regeneration is salvation:
"the new birth"; "being born again"
It appears twice in Scripture (w/two diff. meanings)
1) Mt. 19:28 cf. Rom. 8:19; 2 Cor. 5: 1 – 4
(Glorification - The Body)
1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”
cf. 2 Peter 1:13“Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;”
(Glorification - The Body)
1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”
cf. 2 Peter 1:13“Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;”
Regeneration (positional) is not a reformation or evolutionary process it is.., however, a SUPERNATURAL act of God.
(Side Note: “Heresy of…”)
(Side Note: “Heresy of…”)
1) Jn. 3:5, 6; Mk. 16:16 “…believeth and is baptized…” notice: baptized isn’t after semicolon cf. (this is opposite of) 1 Ptr. 3:21 (Noah’s Ark – type of Holy Spirit … Flood - type of Word of God).
A) “Born once Die Twice” – (Flesh) Adamic
B)"Born twice Die Once” - (Spirit) Salvational reBirth
2) 1 Ptr. 3:20-21 “…like figure…” equals Heb. 10:1
- New Bible Translations quote 1 Ptr. 2:2 “that ye may grow up to be saved” (works) as opposed to KJV “maturity”
- THE heresy of “FOR vs. BECAUSE"
|
Acts 2:38
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” |
Matthew 12:41
“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.” Luke 11:32 “The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.” |
The Nature of Regeneration
(Two Fold)
* Eph. 5:26 “…washing...the word…” – (water = word) versus “Baptism” 1 Cor. 1:14-17 (negative connotation)
a) Cleansing agent – Ps. 119:9 “thy word” Jas. 1:18 “of his own will” (also trinity)
b) Jn. 15:3 “…are clean…” (Present tense); 1 Ptr. 1:23
b) Jn. 15:3 “…are clean…” (Present tense); 1 Ptr. 1:23
Imparting of the New Nature
1) Secure for eternity “Born again…not of corruptible seed”
Gen. 1:26 cf. (free will - choice) 3:6; 5:3 “...likeness of Adam...” New nature is Col. 3:10 cf. Eph. 4:23, 24; 1 Cor. 2:10-14 “...no spirit...” 2 Cor. 5:17, 21; Eph. 2:1; Rom. 6:13; Jn. 5:21, 22; Rom. 8:1; Jn. 3:18 (can’t die if believer); Rom. 8:10 “...body is dead...” in Gods eyes cf. 1 Jn. 3:9 cf. 1 Cor. 15
2) Instantaneous at moment of salvation
Human Side (nature) Jn. 1:12
(The nature of belief is human appropriation) -Jas. 1:18; 1 Ptr. 1:23; Rom. 10:17; 1 Cor. 4:15; Eph. 2:8
(The nature of belief is human appropriation) -Jas. 1:18; 1 Ptr. 1:23; Rom. 10:17; 1 Cor. 4:15; Eph. 2:8
