Subject: baptismal regeneration - true or false |
Bible Note: Sorry, I evidently didn't make myself clear. I should have said: "There's no record that anyone else was 'born again' by God's spirit before they were baptized." (Matthew 3:17; Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6) Clearly, many others in the Bible received God's holy spirit before the time of John the Baptist. (Numbers 11:17; 1 Samuel 16:13; Luke 1:15) Proverbs 1:23 and Acts 5:32 are worthy of note: "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you." 'God gives his holy spirit to them that obey him.' (King James Version) A question for you: What gives evidence that God's holy spirit dwells in a Christian? (2 Timothy 1:14) Stokeyhk. |
