Those who believe that they can simply claim to be a Christian without ever being born again are seriously mistaken. Christ said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again." Being born again means a complete change in what is important in your life and that translates into a change in behavior. No change in behavior means, as Jesus said, no salvation.

I'm sorry and maybe I have missed it somewhere, though I read through the posts again, I haven't seen any post where anyone said you do not need to be born again. As far as born again meaning what you claim it to be by definition in a previous post, there is no scripture to back your claims. Remember, according to Jesus it is possible to SEE the Kingdom (not eternity) by simply being born of the Spirit. BUT to ENTER (a totally different word than See) one must be born of two things, water and the Spirit.
I know what you are wanting to say and water cannot be dealing with our natural birth because if this theory was true, it would be possible to be born of the Spirit and NEVER be born of wate equating to the chance to see the Kingdom without ever being "born of your mother."

Anyway, I think this is all linked to damaged terminology.

QUESTION: What is the biblical definition of the word SAVED?

I'm looing forward to your reply on this and your reply concerning Exodus.

Please give us the Scripture book, chapter and verse that says such. I've never seen it.

While there are probably folks that believe this (unfortunately), I have not seen this sentiment from anyone on this thread.

The quotes (in italics) are from me. The answersd are from J.Jump.

Looking for Response from Straight & Narrow

Straight and Narrow,
Just a quick post to ask if you are intending to respond to my questions to you concerning the accounts in Exodus? (The Blood and the Leaven)
