Born Again and Salvation—Are They The Same Thing?

[tylerbones1313]

Greetings and peace to you, neighbour. The scriptures testify that except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And a man is born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. And of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. When you are born again by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever, then you will be given power to become a son of God. As it is written, as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Because it is it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

And how do you become a son of God? Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This is why the apostles preached since the day of pentecost: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, save yourselves from this untoward generation.

This is how you are born of water and of the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God. Because baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

And receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost which will cause you to speak with tongues, and magnify God. As it is written, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. As it is written, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

And this baptism, being born of water and of the Spirit, is the baptism of the New Testament. For there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

How can you enter that which you cannot see?
