1 | Whose baptism? | John 13:6 | ATJ | 39418 | ||
Dear Love Fountain, The subject is could Saul in ISam. have been born of the water and the Spirit. The reason that I bring up the offerings and sacrifices is because I am trying to show you a pattern. Before Jesus came, no one could be born again. Why? Because Jesus had not paid the debt of sin yet. If Saul was offerings burnt offerings for what ever reason, this automatically tells you there is sin in him. Being born of the Holy Spirit means that Christ has killed the old man and created a man inside of us. This new man is created in the express image and likeness of God. God also burns the evil sin that was once in us. Where was the sin in us? The sin was in our heart and mind. This is why God put his law in our mind and heart. This is the reason why a man mind has to be renewed. Then the Holy Spirit dwells in that man and gives him strength. The more he learns spiritually the more he grows. The more he grows the strength he has. This is the only way a man can live right. If Saul was born of water and Spirit, How come he could live holy. In the Old Testament the fullness of the God head was not yet revealed. Can you show me anywhere in the Old Testament where the author writes that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God? The people knew that a Savior was coming but they didn't know that God was coming himself. This is why the Israelites reject Jesus today because he confesses to be the Christ. Now in John 17:5-8, This is Jesus speaking himself. Andrew jr. |

2 | Whose baptism? | John 13:6 | Love Fountain | 39447 | ||
Dear Andrew Jr., Thank you for the response. In 1Sam 10:9, God gave Saul another heart as follows, 1 Sam 10:9 9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day. KJV The Hebrew word for heart in 1Sam 10:9 is leb and is used figuratively for the intellect or the mind as follows, OT:3820 leb (labe); a form of OT:3824; the heart; also used (figuratively) very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect; likewise for the centre of anything: God gave Saul a new heart via the Spirit of God in 1Sam 10:10 which came from the word of God Samuel showed to Saul in 1Sam 9:27. The Spirit of God is always preceeded by the Word of God, whether in the New Testament or the Old Testament. What I am understanding from what you are saying is the you believe a person born from above is without sin and is therefore no longer a sinner, is this right? You ask,"The people knew that a Savior was coming but they didn't know that God was coming himself." How about Isa 7:14 as follows, Isa 7:14 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. KJV Immanuel in Hebrew is OT:6005 Immanuw'el (im-maw-noo-ale'); from OT:5973 and OT:410 with a pronominal suffix inserted; with us (is) God; Immanuel, a type name of Isaiah's son: KJV - Immanuel. Immanuel plainly stated means God with us. It is clear that those who read Scripture with understanding in the Old Testament times would have clearly known that God was coming Himself as the Messiah. Please reconsider your statement that they didn't know God was coming Himself. Saul was born from the womb of woman(water) and born from above by the Spirit of God which gave him a new heart. But you are telling me Saul was not born from above. Please explain the new heart he received and the Spirit of God that came on him if this is not true? Bless you, Love Fountain |
