Being born again is a definite essential spoken by
Jesus who said it is impossible to see the Kingdom of God
unless one is born again - or born of the Spirit.
Don't you remember his conversation with Nicodemus?
Being born of the Spirit requires repentance and
turning from the old to the new. Reckoning the old man
dead along with his trespass and sin and walking in
newness of life to work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling which is sanctification (a
process). Has this happened in your life JD? It is hard to
tell
from your testimonial writings because you have a whole
other language and who knows what those words
imply. I don't see your immersion described or
discussed anywhere in the NT. jt

So, who are you quoting this time, Deegan? What happens after one is born, Kev? Would it be a thing called "growth?" But have it you way -- you are really on to something this time..........a major heresy. Is this one of those unspoken "essentials?"
