How do you think we get reborn?

through risen Son given to us by Father only

Do we have to get rid of our sins?

God through Son did that for us all, written in scriptures to us all 1 John 2:1-27
People think from their own interpretations of scriptures, they have to. Yet, as no other flesh can ever please God, So why try to do what no other flesh can do? Better to trust God it is finished you think? John 19:30, so the new life in trust to Father can begin and learn new from any and all mistakes made along the way, you think? your free choice!

Our sin's seperates us for GOD right?

They did in the Old (First) Testament. Today in risen Son no more, Father satisfied by Son once for us all. Hebrews 10:10, read all that chapter please? The unfolding of the entire truth from God is now revealed in risen Son, where sins are taken out of the way John 1:29 so we can now approach Father's throne of grace and get help in our time of need. My need is always
I seek, sought and now have John 4:23-24 with Col 1:21-23 given by Father to me to see and now see it is none of me or you or you or even those others over there. God just loves us all, get that in you and begin to see new in love and mercy to all too 1 John 2

Do we have to be filled with the Holy Ghost?

Good does that to all that sincerely believe God. God reveals God to each in love truth and mercy too, yet we all are in different stages of growth, as Father reveals o each kid in Father's timing not any flesh peoples timing. I see flesh as rebellious, as like they were in the wilderness and would not let of of self righteousness having each their own interpretations, would not depend on God 100%, no matter what was happening in the present they sought their own righteousness

I died literally over 13 years ago now. I was in the Hospital with Foreigners Gang Greene. It is a urinary tract infection. Per the Doctors that did surgery on me, told my wife and I, I died 7 times on the operating table and they, surprised, revived me 7 times.
I was cut open in my stomach down to my personals, my intestines were meshed together from the Gang Green. They separated the large and small intestines and cut away what was not savable. My penis was as well cut off, to far gone in Gang Green.
They made a way for me to be able to pea, and not have to have a bag to empty. I use Catheters to pea
I was afterwords making it through that, was told I had a year to live. Most people that make it out of surgery that live was then 5%, and only 3% of the 5% make it past a year
Not bragging, now has been over 13 years since. I am only hear because of God.

Understand, I have been killed many times before that time. I am here to do what God tells me to tell Luke 21:14-15
God loves us all, otherwise my Son would not have ever gone to that cross once for everyone to give them new life in the risen life for them to respond and love all John 13:34
Be careful Ouch, watch out for straining out gnats, those that do swallow camels

Love to you and everyone else from Father in risen Son. for you all

1 John 2:1-27

So we don't have to do anything to get rid of our sins because of what JESUS did.

1. So we are all now sin free!

2. Since we are sin free, we don't have to worry about it separating us from GOD!

3. GOD fills us all with the Holy Ghost even to those who never asked for it!

4. I am very careful of the scripture I share, since that is all I do I am not concerned about gnats or camels. IT'S JESUS DOING THE TALKING.

End result, no one has to do anything and everyone is going to Heaven!!!

So when JESUS said we have to be born of water and of spirit, he really meant we just have to be born!

How do you explain what JESUS says in John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


And Peter in Acts 2:38:39
38 Then Peter said unto them, 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.
39 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.
 
Water doesn't remit sins.

Acts 10:44 & Eph 1:13, provide the doctrinal evidence that salvation occurs at the point of faith, placed in Jesus, prior to any ritual action.

In Acts 10:44, the Holy Spirit falls upon Cornelius & his household while Peter is still speaking. The narrative is careful to note that this occurs before baptism (Acts 10:47). Peter later interprets this event at the Jerusalem Council, stating that God "purified their hearts by faith" (Acts 15:9). This is the inspired apostolic explanation of what happened. The Spirit's coming is consistently presented in Scripture as the definitive marker of salvation (Rom 8:9; Gal 3:2; Eph 1:13). Therefore, the text itself requires us to conclude that Cornelius was saved at the moment he believed.

Eph 1:13 provides the doctrinal counterpart to the narrative. Paul outlines the sequence with precision:
Hearing the word of truth > Believing the gospel > Being sealed with the Holy Spirit

FAITH placed in Jesus saves, the BLOOD washes away sin & Jesus Holy Spirit baptism SEALS the believers salvation. Water is never cause of salvation.

No additional steps are needed FAITH & SEALING. Jesus Holy Spirit baptisms SEALING is the divine confirmation of salvation & Paul treats it as such. The text does not allow for a later sacramental trigger.

These passages do not diminish the importance of baptism as an act of obedience, identification with Jesus death & resurrection & public confession. But they do make clear that baptism is not the instrument of remission or the means by which salvation is conferred.

The New Testament consistently attributes forgiveness, justification & spiritual life to faith in Christ & to the application of His atoning work, not to external rites.

The Scriptures themselves present both a narrative example Acts 10 (confirmed by scripture Acts 15:9) & a doctrinal explanation (Eph 1:13) in which salvation is explicitly tied to faith prior to any ritual action. Any theological system that denies this must explain why the apostolic witness does not align with its claims.

Why was fokes baptized in Acts 2,8,10 and 19?

Why does speak of baptism in Romans 6?

Romans 6
King James Version
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Acts 10:35 Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is not one to show partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s blessing],

36 but in every nation the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is acceptable and welcomed by Him.

37 You know the message which He sent to the sons of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all—

38 you know the things that have taken place throughout Judea, starting in Galilee after the baptism preached by John—

39 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power; and He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

40 We are [personally] eyewitnesses of everything that He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem [in particular]. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross;

41 God raised Him [to life] on the third day and caused Him to be plainly seen,

42 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen and designated beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank together with Him after He rose from the dead.

43 He commanded us to preach to the people [both Jew and Gentile], and to solemnly testify that He is the One who has been appointed and ordained by God as Judge of the living and the dead.

44 “All the prophets testify about Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him [whoever trusts in and relies on Him, accepting Him as Savior and Messiah] receives forgiveness of sins.”

45 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who were listening to the message [confirming God’s acceptance of Gentiles]. 46All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

Gentiles Hear Good News & thru FAITH ALONE Jesus baptizes them with His FOREVER (Jn 14:16) SALVATION SEALING (Eph 1:13-14, 4:30, 2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, 2 Tim 1:14) Holy Spirit.

Eph 1:
13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].

14 The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.

They HEARD > BELIEVED & RECEIVED! FAITH ALONE PERIOD!

Rituals don't take away sin, water doesn't take away sin, speaking in tongues doesn't take away sin, good works don't take away sin.

Heb 9:22 Blood is the working agent that takes away sin

Jn 1:29 (B) Behold the Lamb of God, """""which taketh away the sin of the world."""""

Eph 1:7 In Jesus we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins

1. So we are all now sin free!

No your not because of being in your unredeemed flesh, yet from Father's view in Son for you you are freed, only in Father's Spirit and Truth for you to stand in 24/7, yet none do and if did then we would become so prideful. Which Paul talks of in 2 Cor 12:7-10
And glories in his need for God Father to lead through risen Son for him to do true love to all

2. Since we are sin free, we don't have to worry about it separating us from GOD!

By worry you still continue in sin, trying not to sin, not aware or in belieff God took it all away for you to be saved in his risen life given you from Father to now do as no other flesh

3. GOD fills us all with the Holy Ghost even to those who never asked for it!

because of free choice given, God asks for us to ask God sincerly, then God will give it to see. If want to spend this gift on your own pleasures then God might not, and then might to reach you a lesson, no two misuse this grace gvien.

4. I am very careful of the scripture I share, since that is all I do I am not concerned about gnats or camels. IT'S JESUS DOING THE TALKING.

The true love that no flesh can fathom ever. It takes from Father to get born new again as if you never sinned Col 1:21. You can't see this truth, because you are still revolving in your own flesh and other peoples flesh, making you look good, when truth is you know you are not, true?
I personally am no good, God is Good, the only One whom I chose to be thankful and not misuse this truth to put down anyone, to accuse or excuse, or ever abuse and not use any manipulations, as Paul talks about in 1 Cor 9, might be 2 Cor 9 however God contain yes to love us all Wow Isai
End result, no one has to do anything and everyone is going to Heaven!!!

I never said that what you posted, God knows Romans 8:15-16 do you claim you are in, and Father has saved you only or just your religious group and those they approve, really? Okay thank you if what I said is truth to you. You know and Father knows thank you however I remain in trust to Father
So when JESUS said we have to be born of water and of spirit, he really meant we just have to be born!

You again have misunderstood scripture
John 3:5 has a verse 6

John 3:5-6

Authorized (King James) Version

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus clarified what water is, it is the first born birth in dead flesh, that needs new life in Father's Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24
So we don't have to do anything to get rid of our sins because of what JESUS did.

rn of water and of spirit, he really meant we just have to be born!

How do you explain what JESUS says in John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


And Peter in Acts 2:38:39
38 Then Peter said unto them, 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.
39 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.

39 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.

Unfortunately for you and many do not see or understand what is done by Son for them
John the Baptist said, I baptize with water the one that comes after me Baptizes with Spirit

Acts 1:5
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 19:3
And he said unto them, Unto whatthen were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

Acts 19:4
Authorized (King James) Version


4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

There is a definite difference

Ephesians 4:5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

So you choose two Baptisms or one, thank you

You can't that's why it's story time, your story not GODS word.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus clarified what water is, it is the first born birth in dead flesh, that needs new life in Father's Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24



Unfortunately for you and many do not see or understand what is done by Son for them
John the Baptist said, I baptize with water the one that comes after me Baptizes with Spirit

Acts 1:5
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 19:3
And he said unto them, Unto whatthen were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

Acts 19:4
Authorized (King James) Version


4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

There is a definite difference

Ephesians 4:5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

So you choose two Baptisms or one, thank you

I'm sorry you are way to confusing for me, first you say we don't need to do nothing to get rid of ours sins making us sin free, then you say we are not sin free.

I'm sorry to trouble but to keep it simple, when I asked you,

How do you think we get reborn?

You said, "through risen Son given to us by Father only"

Can you tell me, BE GREAT IF YOU COULD LET JESUS DO THE TALKING by using HIS word only!

What do we have to do to be saved?

I'm not going to ask you if we are born in sin, or what happens when we get the Holy Ghost.

No need to right a book and explain HIS word to me.

With scripture what do we have to do to be reborn??

We disagree and do not hear what the other is sincerely saying
Therefore I have said all I am led to say. So please go to God Father personally in Dad's Spirit and Truth, through risen Son Jesus for you. To be set free in love and mercy to everyone too, thank you

No issue, Thank you.
 
This is my point:
The NAME is the saving agent, the BLOOD is the sin‑removing agent, the HOLT SPIRIT is the sealing agent & water is a obedience response.

Jn 20:21–23, is about:
Apostolic authority to announce forgiveness, the proclamation of the gospel, the Spirit's empowerment.

It's NOT about:
Water saving, baptism regenerating, rituals removing sin, or Jesus NAME being replaced by a ceremony.

Jn 20:21–23, which has nothing to do with:
The cause of salvation, the role of the NAME, the role of the BLOOD, or the role of water.

The question remains:
Where does the New Testament ever say that WATER > not Jesus NAME, not the BLOOD, not the HOLY SPIRIT - is the saving agent?

“Then Peter said unto them, 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.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Water baptism, immersion, is for the remission of sins.

Scripture Study Principles
All Scripture is written for us, but not all Scripture is written to us.

Myles Coverdale's classic interpretive grid still holds:
Of whom is it spoken? To whom? With what words? At what time? Under what circumstances? What comes before & after? What is the intent?

In short:
What's the timeframe? Who's writing? Who's being addressed? What's happening? What's the context before & after?

Acts: A Transition Book
Acts maps the shift from the dispensation of Law to the dispensation of Grace. John the Baptist never baptized a Gentile in the Judean wilderness & no Gentile receives the Holy Spirit at Pentecost on the Temple Mount (Acts 2). The categories are 100% Jewish from start to finish.

Understanding Baptism Through Jewish Eyes
(NOTE: Source: Jewish Virtual Library, Topical Bible, Sefaria & Hirsch)

Under the Mosaic Law, Israel practiced many ceremonial water‑purification immersions (Ex 30; Lev 6, 13–16, 22). Every Israelite understood the pattern:
Unclean > immerse > clean.

Impure > immerse > pure.

Out of fellowship > immerse > restored.

These immersions never removed sin. They restored ritual purity, not forgiveness.

A full Mikveh (precursor to NT baptism) immersion purification ritual expressed: I acknowledge I've been in an unclean state, I'm turning away from that state, I'm returning to covenant faithfulness, I'm restoring my ritual status before God & community

John, Jesus, & Peter all spoke Aramaic & Hebrew, where repent meant > return to God. See Strong's Hebrew repent: h7725. שׁוּב (shub) -- Return, turn back, restore

Category Is Purification:
Jn 3:25 records a dispute between John's disciples about purification. Not forgiveness. Not salvation. PURIFICATION! This is exactly how Jews interpreted immersion.
(NOTE: John the Baptist, his disciples, & Jesus' disciples all performed the baptism of repentance.

Acts 19:4 confirms John's baptism was a baptism of repentance, preparing Israel to believe in the coming Messiah. It was not a remission ritual.

John the Baptist's mission was to prepare the way of the Lord (Mal 3:1 & Matt 3:3). His "baptism of repentance" was preparatory, not remissive.
Confession of sins = acknowledging they had turned away > Immersion = becoming ceremonially clean > This is Mosaic purification, not atonement.

Acts & the Purification Pattern

Acts 2:38
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.”
(NOTE: Repent = return to God. Be baptized = purify yourself (unclean > clean). Remission comes by calling on the Messiah, not by water. Peter is speaking to Israel, using the same purification categories they ALL knew)

Acts 22:16 “Be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
(NOTE: The washing is symbolic > the calling is effective.)

Acts 8:12 “But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
(NOTE: They believed Philip's preaching, then were baptized. Faith precedes water. Remission is tied to Christ, not immersion.)

"Nothing external removes sin."

Faith in the NAME saves, Faith in the BLOOD removes sin & the Jesus HOLY SPIRIT Baptism Forever seals the believers salvation. Water is a obedience response.

Scripture is clear:
The risen Christ enters heaven & """""in the presence of God places His own blood in the heavenly alter made without hands & obtains eternal redemption""""" for all that will trust in His sacrificial sin atoning payment. (Heb 9)

Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul

Heb 9:22 Without shedding of blood there is no remission

Matt 26:28 Jesus said, “This is My blood > shed for many for the remission of sins

Rev 1:5 He washed us from our sins in His own blood

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God

Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins

Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins

OT High Priest Sin Imputation Foreshadow:

Lev 16:21, Aaron laid both hands on the substitute, confessed the sins of the nation & imputes/transfers the sins onto the innocent victim. That was the foreshadow.

Jesus is the Fulfillment:

Heb identifies Jesus as our great High Priest (Heb 4:14), called by God after the order of Melchizedek (Heb 5:10) & Mediator of the New Covenant (Heb 9:15; 12:24)

Under the Old Covenant, the priest transferred sin. Under the New Covenant, Christ performs the real sin‑transfer.

When we call on the name of the Lord (Acts 2:21 & Rom 10:13) & place our faith in Jesus' sin-atoning death & resurrection, He forgives all our sins (Heb 10:10–18) & imputes our sins onto Himself (Heb 10:10; 2 Cor 5:19; Rom 4:8, 11, 22–24). At that same moment, He baptizes the believer with His forever (Jn 14:16), salvation‑sealing (Eph 1:13, 2 Cor 1:22, 2 Cor 5:5) indwelling Holy Spirit in you.

Anyone can immerse someone into water. Only Jesus, who knows the true heart, can baptize with/in/by the Holy Spirit. Jesus then imputes His righteousness to us (2 Cor 5:21, Ja 2:23) & we become the righteousness of God thru faith placed in His sacrificial sin atoning payment.

You’re in part correct about the gospels pertaining to the Jews, and that context is everything.
However, we all need to be baptized to wash away our sins, as many verses state. This is one of the direct commands!
 
THREE BAPTISMS



1. The baptism of John.

2. The baptism of Jesus.

3. The baptism of the Holy Spirit.

THE BAPTISM OF JOHN

John was the baptizer.---Water is the mode---Purpose is repentance

It was for Israel to repent and prepare the way for their Messiah-King.

Malachi 3:1 “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”

John 1:31 “And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.”

THE BAPTISM OF JESUS

Jesus is the baptizer---Fire is mode---Purpose is Spiritual gifts.

Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”

Acts 2:3-5 “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

John 4:1-2 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT

Spirit is the baptizer---Christ is the mode---Purpose is entrance into eternal life.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
