1 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | ebrain | 164987 | ||
My understanding of 1 John 5:1, is that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been born again, in other words, one has to be born again in order to believe. I do not see how any other interpritation is possible. John 3:16, is probably the most well known of all verses in the Bible, now please tell me how many converts do you think there would be if you were to quote this verse to a crowd of lets say 100 non christians? More later, must close now. In Him. Edwin. |

Hi Edwin, 1 Jn 5:1 - The text is not translated as saying, "Everyone who is born of God believes that Jesus is the Messiah," but the opposite, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah is born of God." To answer your hypothetical question, odds are it is possible to get more converted if the sacrifice of Christ was for all in the crowd rather than a certain few. |
