I am going to pose a question to all of you, at what point does conversion take place? When are you Born Again?
The first epistle of John assures us that we can know that we are in Him and He in us.

"What I tell you in the darkness, speak it in the light; and what you hear in the ear, shout it from the housetops." Matthew 10:27 (Paraphrase) The focus of this blog is God, country, and family. It is pro-Christian, USA-loving, strong military support, political conservative, and dedicated to a strong family culture. Postings will center around one of these topics.
It's All About Me Me Me
- Born Conservative
- Payson, Arizona, United States
- I am a native of Arizona. I prefer the small town life and the company of family and friends to the hustle and bustle of the city. I love God, my wife, my family (four kids and 14 grandkids). I love the USA - don't want it changed. I have the utmost respect for members of the military, current and past. My Dad is the best example I know of "The Greatest Generation". I was born conservative and have conservative blood running through my viens.

Well, according to Hebrews 8:10 and 10:16, the NEW Covenant deals with GOD writing His Laws INTO our minds, and UPON our Hearts! That is certainly a supernatural work and would DEFINITELY afford that assurance John writes about!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the Old Covenant, the Laws were written on stone and we were commanded to Keep them, which we could not. BUT something actually a PART of our minds and hearts by the Power of the Holy Spirit...can now be KEPT!!!
I John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we KEEP His commandments; and His commandments are NOT BURDENSOME." because they are written in our Hearts and Minds!!! :D
Conversion is like a two-sided coin. Its sides are faith and repentance. The point of conversion is that point when the sinner turns from sin and self, toward God in faith.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the "sinner's prayer" fit into that? Haven't we always heard that when you repeat that prayer, you are "saved"?
ReplyDeleteWhere is that in the Bible?
ReplyDeleteI like what Wayne said, too. So simple, but True. The turning TOWARD GOD is a MUST...after turning away from Sin!
Especially if you consider that when the Apostle Paul wrote Rom 10:9 (IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH JESUS AS LORD, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED) that "confession" cost the new disciple his or her LIFE!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Paul does follow up with Romans 10:10...indicating that true conversion results in "Righteousness"!
