Bible Question: Can A born again Christian lead a effective life if they are not filled with the Holly Spirit? Why or Why not? |
Bible Answer: A person is not born again ("born from above" is another way to translate born again) without God's Holy Spirit baptism. Paul wrote about that baptism in Scriptures such as 1Co 12:12-13 and Eph 4:4-7. What "Water" is that in Jn 3:1-21? Is it the same "Water" of Jn 4:1-26? Is it the same "Water" of 1Jn 5? Is it the same "Water" of Rev 21-22? |
