1. Born again
Born again is only and unique principle of salvation that only Christianity has.
All humans must be born again because they were wrongly born with sin and death in fallen Adam. (Refer to Gen.3)
1)The principle of Born again (John 3:3,5) - water and the Spirit
Water baptism is Noah's flood judgment.(1Peter 3:20-21)
Israel's crossing the Red Sea is a type of water baptism.(1Cor.10:2)
Every human being who is a descendant of Noah, must be baptized with water like Noah a sign of salvation from Water.
The baptism of Holy Spirit is a spiritual principle of union with Christ in the Holy Spirit. (Mat.3:11, 1Cor.12:13)
- It is baptism of Holy Spirit is to be one body with Christ.
* Baptism means to be immersed.
2) How to be born again (John 3: 16-17) - To believe in the only begotten Son Jesus Christ as our Lord in him.
Born again occurs after Jesus died on the cross, rose again, ascended to heaven, and sent the Holy Spirit within us.(John 3:14-15)
*It is not that we crossed the cross by believing in Jesus, but that we gain eternal life by being born again by believing in Christ in him, who died for our sins and rose again, as our Lord.
(It's not rebirth, it's from heaven.)
3)Result of born again (John 3:18-19, 31-35)
If you believe in the only begotten Son of God, you will have eternal life. If you don't believe, you will be judged. (Judgment is separation, already condemned)
Eternal life is a relationship of coexistence with God.(Rev.3:20 eating and drinking - union, fellowship)
: The parable of the vine and branches (John 15:5)
But God's wrath comes when he is separated from Him.
(Separation from life of God - It's like cancer cell in body, no relationship, no fellowship)
* Life is the wave of energy. (ex: Just as the sky gives heat and energy to the earth through sunlight.)
Christians who are born again and live in eternal life with the Son of God are filled with peace and joy.
Eternal life is to know the only true God and Jesus Christ our Lord.(John 17:3)
Knowing here is the same as sleeping together. (Yada, ginosko)
(Eternal life is living by power of God's life in Jesus Christ.)
