4 | What does "born again" mean to a Jew? | John 3:3 | jirehway | 133533 | ||
Over 30 years ago I heard a tape from someone with Jews for Jesus who taught this:A male is born first, then born again when he is bar mitphazed (sp?), when he finished his schooling, when he becomes the head of a rabbical school and when he is married. The speaker did not cite his source. This does not infer reincarnation at all. Strongs Corcordance give these mening for the biblical useage of born: 1) of men who fathered children a) to be born b) to be begotten 1) of women giving birth to children 2) metaph. a) to engender, cause to arise, excite b) in a Jewish sense, of one who brings others over to his way of life, to convert someone c) of God making Christ his son d) of God making men his sons through faith in Christ's work |

5 | What does "born again" mean to a Jew? | John 3:3 | jirehway | 133725 | ||
The teacher was stating this as a fact. He did not however as I remember, give any scriptural reference to verify these claims. Thank you for checking with your Jewish friend. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say. | ||||||

yayathresa, I accidentally came upon your note re: women in ministry. I cannot write much at this time. It is 6:30 a.m. and I am preparing to minister at my churches this morning and later today to do the internment for a member who died this week. You see I am a Pastor or 3 churches, and I can safely say that anyone would have a extremely difficult time telling them that I am not called of God to preach. God's anointing rests heavily in my life (for which I am deeply grateful). I do not assume or presume authority over the men in my churches. I am called of God to serve and a servant knows who he/she belongs to. On business related items I work with a council comprised of both men and women. I refuse to argue with men or women re: my call because they did not call me, God did. I do not have to justify my call, the results of ministry does all of that. Today it is still very difficult for lady clergy in many places. I have been in ministry for over 30 years, to God be the glory! The years have not been easy years because of ingrained prejudice- from men and women. I resisted the call for a long time because of my upbringing. There were very few role models for me in the early 70's, yet God was faithful to teach and train me Himself and using others ministered (male) who recognized my call. I tell anyone who is considering going into pulpit ministry to avoid it if he/she can. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance and if God has or is calling you, you will not have peace and rest until you answer the call. Another note, women cannot afford to be good in ministry, she must strive for excellence as a testimony of God's call, grace and mercy. My question to you, respectfully I ask, what is the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart? If you are, as I feel you are, called to a spoken word ministry, you must think outside of the box or walls that mankind has made. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance and no matter how long it takes, He will reveal Himself and your call to you. God has brought me a mighty long way and truly the journey gets sweeter every day. Finding and being in God's will is far greater than the approval of mankind or any material possessions. I offer the comments for your consideration not to debate, incite others who will read this, or flaunt my call in anyone's face. I write from deep love, much experience and a heart filled with thanksgiving that God saw fit to choose me. Blessings upon you and your husband as you seek clarification of your question. I have not meant to lift myself up before people, rather, to give you a bit of insight from one who has been through the fire and flood. His handmaiden, Jirehway |

Yayathersa, The purpose of my first response to yayathersa was to let you hear from one who has faced and dealt with much resistance to women in ministry. Having been battered and bruised by controlling and manipulating pastors, I have seen that it is much better to lead with a Sheppard’s crook than to see those who have been injured by the Pastor who drives with a whip. I choose to expect all the men and women whom I pastor to come under authority to the office and not the person. My leadership style is to discern and know what is right [how does the word of God fit the situation?], listen to concerns, determine what is in the best interest of the churches as well as the individual and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. A person can walk in authority without flaunting or abusing it. Results of ministry whether by male or female do matter. If not to some, certainly to those who have had life changing experiences because the minister obeyed God. Truth and love do find a way and those who are hungering for salvation or a closer relationship to God appreciate nurturing by one who is called and who cares. I do not have to think I am called to pastor, I know. That was settled years ago and hundreds of souls, some even abroad, will testify as to the worth of the ministry God has provided through me. The scriptures are filled with examples of women who have been used mightily by God. This subject has been dissected long enough; just check the subject on this forum. Please allow the word, rightly divided, to accomplish what God intended it do and do not allow yourself to be treated as some second class citizen of the kingdom of God. No one can answer for you as to the ministry Father has for you. Someone may confirm it, but should not and cannot be the final voice when God is dealing directly with you. Written from my heart, jirehway |
