Hi H,
You say” Evidently you do not know for sure? I do know for sure, for I have experienced it. All those who have experienced it also know for sure. “
How reliable is experience?
Is it as reliable as scripture?
No.Hi H,
Yes.
But I do not preach my experiences as the gospel as we are told what we have to preach and we are servants.Hi H,
I hear the wind, and see the effects in many lives,
and I know the shepherds voice, and the voice of strangers.How about you?
Quote (heiscomingintheclouds @ Aug. 28 2006,22:24) You stick with young, I will with old, the good old King James. Dear Mercy, would you ask this question if you knew the answer? Evidently you do not know for sure? I do know for sure, for I have experienced it. All those who have experienced it also know for sure. For the rebirth is in the Spirit. The spirit that was once spiritually dead because of sin, is reborn or renewed by the quickening Spirit, Christ the Lord through faith in him.
I asked because I wanted brotherly counsel and to get your opinions. I made the mistake of assuming this alternate translation was widely known enough not to need an introduction, especially amongst such scholarly chaps as yourselves.H, You stick with King James and I will stick with the Greek manuscripts. I truly hope that you somehow don't think that the King James version is more reliable than it's source material (i.e. the greek manuscripts). If I was fluent in greek yet did not speak English then would I need to learn English or purchase a reverse Strongs english to greek concordance in order to properly understand the scriptures?
I used Young's translation because I cannot use my keyboard to type in greek nor do I think it would be very useful to do so for those who don't read greek.

Hi Mercy,
The word is translated as ” again ” only in Jn 3?
What evidence do we have from outside scripture for it's use?Quote (Mercy @ Aug. 29 2006,07:42) Quote (heiscomingintheclouds @ Aug. 28 2006,22:24) You stick with young, I will with old, the good old King James.

Dear Mercy,Sister, don't you think I have access to the same. You have to understand that the Greek that was used in the translation of the King James is older then what you will find on the net.
Why does everyone want to use everything other then God? It amazes me how no one says I was praying and fasting and the Lord revealed this to me. Oh what an evil generation we live in. Seek the face of the Lord. Do the wll of the Father. If you want to know the will of the Father, you will pray and fast and get down on your face before him. It is these things that bring one close to God. Open your heart to him. Remove the ways of the world. Remove the ways of men. Come to the Lord with prayer and suplication. Humble yourself before the Lord.
If you want to know what bible translation is the Word of God, and I believe with all of my heart, there is only one that is the Holy Bible, then you need to seek the face of God and let him reveal it to you so there is no doubt.
Little sister, I am sorry if I offend you in anyway. I don't do so out of anything other the love of Christ in my heart. You must understand that the Gospel of Christ has been compromised for generations and most have been led to believe a lie. The time is short in the return of our Lord and the urgency to spread the truth is vital. So many are caught within the grasp of the lie that was started centuries ago, that most will never escape.
The trinity doctrine is part of this false teaching. I believe it was the beginning of deceptions. Then came the changing of the baptisms which was the most damaging to the faith. This corrupted the gospel and for centuries, the faith was held in captivity until finally freedom of religion. It was at this time, the baptism were put in the rightful order in some churches. Yet, it was like a learning process all over again. And still is today.
Anyway, the time is short, for the return of our Lord draweth near.
Now, as for being reborn in the spirit, you must understand that that is what it means. When Adam sinned, he became spiritually dead. And unless a mean us reborn in the spirit, he will not enter the kingdom of God. And your interpretation is not incorrect. For to be born again is to be born from above. It also is to be renewed in the Spirit. This all comes from the quickening Spirit, Christ the Lord, who is from above.
@nick and h
have you receive the holyghost?@mercy
john 3:5 says(NKJV)
“5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”it clearly states that in order to be saved, you need to receive the holyghost you need to received the baptism of water and of the spirit in order to see or enter to the kingdomof God
acts 2:38 says
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.this is the true and real plan of salvation, if you want ican give you more details about plan of salvation because we need to be saved, Jesus is coming soon. just PM me if u want.thanks and Godbless:)
Hi WS2,
Indeed Yes.
The God who sent His son and anointed Him in His Spirit has continued that work among us.My name must be to effiminate. I am a guy, fellas!
John 1:11-13
12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.The “born from above” interpretation doesn't essentially change anything. The above verse helps give credance to that interpretation I think. Being born again or born from above both imply becoming a “new creature” and a “son of God”.
Heiscomingintheclouds, I think you are a great man of God and I respect you. I just can't agree with your stance on the KJV being infallible. I will rely on the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts without an apologies. If they were good enough for Jesus, the prophets, the apostles, the disciples and all the saints then they are good enough for me.

Forgive me for not getting your sex correctly brother. That proves I am capable of mistakes. I am really sorry. As for salvation, one needs only to have faith in Christ. If you believe that is the same as the baptism of the Holy Spirit you are mistake. Now, the Lord has given the baptism to many at salvation, but most do not get the baptism of the Holy Spirit until the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
gretings to you all in jesus’ most precious name!
It seems impressive for others to clip things from piled up commentaries, then drag and drop them as ready replies.
but the kingdom of god is not about the experiences and relationship of others with god. its about your own !Verily, verily – An _expression of strong affirmation, denoting the certainty and the importance of what he was about to say. Jesus proceeds to state one of the fundamental and indispensable doctrines of faith. Nothing was kept back for fear of offending men of wealth or power; and for them, as well as the most poor and lowly, as the first thing in seeking God’s truth is a change of heart and of life.
Except a man – This is a universal form of _expression designed to include all mankind. Of “each and every man” it is certain that unless he is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God . It includes, therefore, men of every character and rank, and nation, moral and immoral, rich and poor, in office and out of office, old and young, bond and free, the slave and his master, Jew and Gentile. It is clear that our Saviour intended to convey to Nicodemus the idea, also, that “he” must be born again. It was not sufficient to be a Jew, or to acknowledge him to be a teacher sent by God that is, the Messiah; it was necessary, in addition to this, to experience in his own soul that great change called the “new birth” or regeneration.
This blunt and curt reply was plainly meant to shake the whole edifice of the man’s religion, in order to lay a deeper and more enduring foundation., his spiritual vision required to be rectified by an entire revolution on his inner man, the Holy Ghost he must receive to born of the Spirit.a man — not a Jew merely; the necessity is a universal one.
be born again — or, as it were, begin life anew in relation to God; his manner of thinking, feeling, and acting, with reference to spiritual things, undergoing a fundamental and permanent revolution.
Be born of water – By “water,” here, is evidently signified “water baptism.in Jesus name” Thus the word is used in Eph_5:26; Tit_3:5. Baptism was practiced by the Jews in receiving a Gentile as a proselyte. It was practiced by John among the Jews; and Jesus here says that it is an ordinance of his religion, and the sign and seal of the renewing influences of his Spirit. So he said Mar_16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” It is clear from these places, and from the example of the apostles Act_2:38, Act_2:41; Act_8:12-13, Act_8:36, Act_8:38; Act_9:18; Act_10:47-48; Act_16:15, Act_16:33; Act_18:8; Act_22:16; Gal_3:27, that they considered this ordinance as binding on all who professed to love the Lord Jesus. And though it cannot be said that none who are not baptized can be saved, yet Jesus meant, undoubtedly, to be understood as affirming that this was to be the regular and uniform way of entering into his church; that it was the appropriate way of entering into the Kingdom of God (reign of God in our hearts); and that a man who neglected this, when the duty was made known to him, neglected a plain command of God. It is clear, also, that any other command of God might as well be neglected or violated as this, and that it is the duty of everyone not only to love the Saviour, but to make an acknowledgment of that love by being baptized in water and in Spirit (Holy Ghost Baptism), and by devoting himself thus to his service.
And of the Spirit – But, lest Nicodemus should suppose that this was all that was meant, he added that it was necessary that he should “be born of the Spirit” also. This was predicted of the Saviour, that he should “baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire,” Mat_3:11. By this is clearly intended that the heart must be changed by the agency of the Holy Spirit; that the love of sin must be abandoned; that man must repent of sins and unrighteousness and turn to God; that he must renounce all his evil propensities, and give himself to a life of prayer and holiness, of meekness, purity, and benevolence. This great change is in the Scripture ascribed uniformly to the Holy Spirit, Tit_3:5; 1Th_1:6; Rom_5:5; 1Pe_1:22.
cannot see — can have no part in (just as one is said to “see life,” “see death,” etc.).

and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God .
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.Have you been baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins? AND NOT FROM THE TITLES FATHER, SONS AND HOLY GHOST?

AND ITS TRUE, AS IN THE DAYS OF THE EARLY CHURCH, THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM IS STILL TRUE. YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT TOO, IF YOU WILL SINCERELY BELIEVE AND ASK GOD FOR IT. AND MANY WODERS AND SIGNS AS THE SCRIPTURE HAD SAID DID FOLLOW AFTER THAT DAY.If you have not yet received the Holy Ghost, then, you better start believing and STOP arguing because God is still giving the Holy Ghost today, to them that believe on Him.
Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
