1Thess.5:23 says: Now May the God of peace Himself sanctify you INTIRELY; Intirely means wholly,full, totally, thoroughly, ect! If you believe and have faith in the word as THE absolute TRUTH and obey His commands, THAN YOU WILL BE PRESERVED COMPLETE, WITHOUT BLAME AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, V.24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. Do you believe God is faitful, than you do well to believe that what His word says will come to pass. When you believe in your heart and confess " Jesus Christ is Lord," God does something inside of you. The real you, the spirit man , is recreated and becomes alive. John 3:6 says " the spirit gives birth to spirit. The Holy Spirit comes into your life and causes your human spirit to be born again. You can not figure this out with the human mind. It is of the spirit of God. John 3:3 "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." "WoW" corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;the old has gone, the new has come!"When you believe in Jesus and confess Him as Lord you are changed inside. Not your body and not your mind, but the real you, the spirit man. You probably won't feel any different and you won't look any different but spiritually speaking, you are a new creature! You are no longer separated from God. You now are born of the Holy spirit. You have fellowship with the Father and Jesus. Your name is written in The Book of Life and you are a part of the family of God. Water Baptism is to take place after you are born again.Acts 8:36,37. Notice Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." Water Baptism is an outward sign of what has happened inwardly after we are born again.Romans 6:3-5.The baptism WITH the Holy Spirit is a filling of the Whole life of a believer with the supernatural power of the Spirit. We are BORN of the Spirit to be a part of God,s family. We are FILLED with the Spirit to be victorious and fruitfull in God's family.Acts 1:4,5,8. Acts 2:1-4. This was the beginning of the New Testiment Church age, which we are in now. We have the same Father, same Savior, same Spirit, same Word, and same Faith. They were the beginning of what is still happening today.The experiencing of the new birth and the baptism of the Holy Spirit will go on just like Acts chapter two, until Jesus returns. The Spirit of Truth is the Holy Ghost. JOhn 14:16,17. John 1:33, Jesus is the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit. To be born again is something that the Holy Spirit does. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit, or Holy ghost is something that Jesus Christ does.Acts 8:14,15. Acts19:2 If they were the same experience he would not have asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost yet. There are millions of Christians who believe in Jesus, but they have not received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. My prayer is that someone might hear the truth and receive the fullness of what God has for all of us. God bless! Joann |

I will try to answer this questain as best as I can but let me start out with John 3:3 "unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." because Many people today do not understand the new birth, so let me start there. Jesus explained in John 3:6 "flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." So physically speaking we were already born,but spiritually speaking we need to be born again to receive the spirit of God. When Adam rejected the Lord and obeyed the devil (Genesis 3) he died spiritually. You see what I mean? God told Adam, "But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Genesis 2:17) We know that Adam did not physically die on that day, for he lived to be 930 years old. What did die that day was Adam's spirit man. That is ,the real person that lives on the inside of the body. The spirit man will live forever somewhere. Your body is a house in which the real you, a spirit man, lives. Man must be spiritually born in order to go to heaven. The basic principle of how to become born again is to believe that Jesus is Lord. 2nd. Call on the Lords name. Acts 2:21 3rd. there must be faith followed by action. James 2:17 If we do all this than we will desire to be confessing jesus before man. Matt10;32 And if you truely believed than Jesus Christ should be Lord of our life. (The Boss or supreme authority)When we believe in our heart and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour than God does something inside of us. The real you, the spirit man, is recreated and becomes alive.JOhn 3:6 "the Spirit gives birth to spirit." Basically the Holy Spirit comes into our life and causes our human spirit to be born again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 When you believe in Jesus and confess Him as Lord you are changed inside. Not your body and not your mind, but the real you, the spirit man. You pobably won't feel any different but spiritually speaking, you are a new creature! And most importantly we are no longer seperated from God. We now have fellowship with the Father and Jesus. Our name is written in the Book of life and we now are a part of the family of God. Praise God! Now our mind is what we have to guard against the sceams of the devel. He will try very hard to take us down. Did this answer your questain? Thanks for the questain, this makes me have to think in the spiritual relm of things. Joann | ||||||
