Bible Question (short): spiritual revelation to un- regenerate? |
Question (full): I, too do not readily say 'Once saved, always saved' if not for any other reason but that often I have heard people who were openly living in rebellion against God's commandments. there is no way to witness or reason the scriptural truth that those who are born again...who believe..should be producing the fruit of the Spirit... I would like to question one point of the above 'commentary'. "With full revelation they rejected the truth . . . They can never have more knowledge than they had when they rejected it." I question whether an unregenerted spirit can receive 'full revelation' of such truths as listed in verses 1-5 without having first received the revelation of Jesus Christ through repentance and faith thus producing the new birth. They could receive mental knowledge of the teachings, but the 'revelation' of Truth in our regenerated spirit is different. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Can the unregenerated spirit receive 'revelation' from the Holy Spirit? God bless |
