(29) FAITH ONLY SALVATION (GET DETAILS)

(JOHN 3:3-5)- Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemas said , how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God./ Here Jesus is speaking of a water baptism and a spiritual baptism. Born (Dict.) means Brought out from, brought into being or existence. There are some that think a person is born of the water when he comes out of the womb. Jesus wasn't saying anything about the first birth. Jesus said, "You must be born again. The greek word Baptizo means to dip, plunge, immerse, or wash. It was not translated into english as immerse, as it should have been. Since sprinkling was used as baptism, they deided to use a transliteration of the Greek word and coin a new english word baptism. This seemed to solve their problem. The translation has never been corrected except in commentaries. We still have a lot of dishonest religious leaders. Since baptism by water is really by immersion in the name of Jesus or in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. To be born of the water means, brought out of the water. You must be immersed to be brought out. It is symbolic of Jesus death, burial and resurrection. (Rom.6:3-7)- We are buried with Jesus by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted in a likeness of his death, we shall be also in a likeness of his resurrection. v7- For he that is dead is freed from sin./ (Acts 2:38)- Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost./ Back to (John 3:5)- You must be born of the water and the Spirit. Water is symbolic cleansing. When we submit to symbolic cleansing, then Jesus does the real cleansing. (Heb.4:12)-The Word of God (Jesus) is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow. The joints and marrow separation, I believe , Is when we get our new eternal body, the marrow and bone will be separated: We won't have marrow, we won't have blood, we won't have a digestive system. Jesus resurrected an ate fish. We will enjoy eating, but no digestive system. OK, back to separation of soul and spirit. When God created man, he said, "Let us make man in our image. God had no physical body. He was Spirit. He gave man a spirit, which gave man a higher intellect and a God conciousness. Animals only have a body and soul. When a believer is baptized in water, Jesus divides the soul from the spirit and indwells the spirit with the Holy Spirit. That is the beginning of a person's eternal life. At the Rapture (Rapture is not found in the Bible, it means 'caught up', found in 1 Thess.4:17), our eternal spirit will be joined to our eternal bodies. In Christ, Con
