BORN AGAIN



IN ORDER FOR US TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD (ETERNAL LIFE), THE FAMILY OF GOD, 


WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN




THE ELOHIEM 

WHAT IS THE GODHEAD 

https://thegodheadexpansion.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-elohiem.html



But for what will be an extreme disappointment to many, BORN AGAIN is not the definition we've been taught to believe. 


The traditional "Born Again" and "Saved" doctrine deriving from man's version of (non biblical) Christianity, both enjoy the same

Label for their deceptions! 


FALLACIOUS!


ALTHOUGH A DIFFERENT PROCESS, BORN AGAIN MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!


BORN AGAIN!


The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the SPIRIT.

John 3:8 KJV


https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.8.KJV


If you are a born again Christian, can you do that?



MORE ABOUT THIS IN A MOMENT!



WHAT IS GRACE

https://thegodheadexpansion.blogspot.com/2019/06/what-is-grace.html



BUT WHAT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD BY MANY IS, ACCORDING TO WHAT IS WRITTEN;


BORN AGAIN 


MEANS, ULTIMATELY GETTING OUT OF THIS ROTTING, DECAYING, DYING FLESH….


TOTALLY!


A CHANGE OF MIND AND BODY!



The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.  


And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  



Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  


For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  


So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  


But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:47‭-‬58 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.15.47-58.KJV


SO WE'RE GOING TO SHOW, IT IS A VERY DELIBERATE PROCESS!


We've all seen at one time or another, individuals expressing their personal beliefs, that they have already received this ultimate reward that awaits every true servant of the MOST  HIGH GOD


To Be BORN AGAIN! 


Even more interesting is they honestly believe they can achieve this monumental feat through simply believing in God! 


FAITH!



Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?


James 2:19‭-‬20 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jas.2.19-20.KJV




SOME PROUDLY PROMOTE IMAGES THAT SUPPOSEDLY DEPICT THESE ETERNAL GOD GIVEN ACHIEVEMENTS! 




BUT WE CANNOT WIN A RACE WE'RE NOT RUNNIN!


Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. 


Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.  I therefore so run, not as uncertainty; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  


But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.


1 Corinthians 9:24‭-‬27 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.9.24-27.KJV



MIGHT BE A CASTAWAY?



But wait a minute!


CASTAWAY FROM WHAT?


GOTTA BE FROM SOMETHING YA ALREADY HAVE?


If we believe we've already received the reward, we will stop trying to achieve it!


Ya mean you can be cast away? 


OH MY! 



Well Let's Take A Look At SAVED!


By beginning With The End of the bible.



REVELATION! 



And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.  


And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: 

and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.  


And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.  


And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Revelation 20:11‭-‬15 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.20.11-15.KJV



"And the books were opened."


THE GREEK WORD FOR BIBLE IS; "BIBLOS!"


Meaning a "collection of books." That the Lord has provided for every person to learn how to receive that ultimate gift of Eternal life from. The books from which we can develop the mind of Christ. 



Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:


Philippians 2:5‭-‬6 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/php.2.5-6.KJV



THE ELOHIEM! 



There are 66 books which comprise the Holy Bible. These are the books the Lord has provided for his future Gods. To learn his ways and thoughts from.


https://prezi.com/et-qe2kgab9i/biblos-is-the-greek-word-for-bible-which-means-a-library-of/



BUT WAIT!



"....and another book was opened, which is the book of life.."



SO, WHAT IS THIS "ANOTHER BOOK?" 


AND WHY IS THIS "ANOTHER BOOK" IMPORTANT?"


Let's take a quick look at this other BOOK!


Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.  And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.


Malachi 3:16‭-‬17 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/mal.3.16-17.KJV



Let's read Revelation twenty once more! 



And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the BOOK  OF LIFE: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Revelation 20:12‭, ‬15 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.20.12-15.KJV


Hold on a second! 

This other "BOOK" is mighty important huh?



But once we're blessed to be written IN the "Book of Life," we can get ourselves written OUT of the "Book of Life" as well!


LOOK! 👁


Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.  Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.  They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.  


Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.  Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.  


Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.


Psalms 69:18‭, ‬20‭-‬22‭, ‬27‭-‬28 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.69.18-28.KJV



YA HAD TO BE IN IT, TO BE BLOTTED OUT OF IT.


THE BOGUS FAITH JUSTIFICATION DOCTRINE

https://thegodheadexpansion.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-faith-justification-doctrine.html


"CASTAWAY!"



And Moses returned unto the Lord , and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.  Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin―; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.  


And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK.


Exodus 32:31‭-‬33 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.32.31-33.KJV


Brothers and sisters, this is the

WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT!


And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the LAMB'S BOOK  OF LIFE.


Revelation 21:10‭, ‬22‭, ‬27 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.21.10-27.KJV



"...and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."



WE ARE JUDGED ACCORDING TO HOW OR WHETHER WE ADHERED TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLOS/COLLECTION OF BOOKS!



AS AN ASIDE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, CHRISTMAS, EASTER, DYING AND GOING TO HEAVEN, EATING PORK...


COUNTERFEIT  CHRISTIANITY,  


"AIN'T" IN THEM BOOKS EITHER!



But Let's Look At What The Bible Says Being Born Again Actually Means!



There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  


Nicodemus saith unto him, 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, 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.   


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


Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.   


The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


John 3:1‭-‬8 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.1-8.KJV


Jesus said you must be born again! Signifying a (second) time! 


Then he explained; you must be born of the water and of the spirit.



Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.  


Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.  


There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)  


Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.  


Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.  


The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?  


Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


John 4:5‭-‬11‭, ‬13‭-‬14 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.4.5-14.KJV


Jesus said he’d give you water to drink, and you would never thirst again. And you would be a well of water springing up to everlasting life.



Christ will cleanse the church by washing them with the water of the word. Born of the water means being clean, with no spot or wrinkle on your white garments.



Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;  


As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  


Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  


But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:  


Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


1 Peter 1:13‭-‬16‭, ‬18‭-‬19‭, ‬22‭-‬23 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1pe.1.13-23.KJV



Jesus said, “be ye Holy for I am Holy.” Purify yourselves in obeying the truth. Love one another with a pure heart. BEING  BORN AGAIN .



Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  


For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  


Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.


Romans 13:8‭-‬10 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.13.8-10.KJV


Question: Which born again is this?


Answer: Born of the water, The first step, because the change of body is Step 2 and you wouldn’t need to be, to purify your soul. It would already be purified.


Question: Is step 1 as guaranteed as step 2?


Answer: No!



REMEMBER WE READ THIS.



Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? 


So run, that ye may obtain.


And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.  


I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  


But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.


1 Corinthians 9:24‭-‬27 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.9.24-27.KJV


Apostle Paul said he is running the race that he might obtain the prize. He also then must keep his body in subjection so he would not become a castaway


There is only (1) Born Again that a person can have, where you can be a castaway.


And that’s born of the water (step 1). Those that come up in the first resurrection the second death has no power over.



LOVE!



Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.  


By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.


For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.  


For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  


He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.  


And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  


And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.  All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.  


We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.


1 John 5:1‭-‬4‭, ‬10‭-‬12‭, ‬15‭, ‬17‭-‬18 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.5.1-18.KJV



WILFUL SIN!



God’s commandments are not grievous. They can be kept. God has given us eternal life and he that has the Son (Jesus) has life.


Whosoever is born of God sinneth not (Why?) The begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one toucheth him not.


(How long does he keep himself? Until he dies, or until Jesus comes.)




And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


Matthew 24:4‭-‬14 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.24.4-14.KJV



But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?


Hebrews 1:13‭-‬14 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/heb.1.13-14.KJV


Angels are spirit.


LOOK!


And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.


Matthew 28:2‭-‬4 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.28.2-4.KJV



They have spiritual bodies. If it were not for "chains of darkness" that the Lord placed them under, we could see them and touch them.



And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:  And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,


Revelation 10:1‭-‬2 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.10.1-2.KJV


They both have hands and feet like you and I.


God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


John 4:24 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.4.24.KJV



God is Spirit. Let’s take a look at God.


Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:  And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.  And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.


Exodus 24:9‭-‬11 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.24.9-11.KJV


God has a body. Hands and a face. 



Now let’s look at Jesus' first birth.


To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.


Luke 2:5‭-‬7 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.2.5-7.KJV


Jesus' first birth.


In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:  


And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.


Colossians 1:14‭-‬18 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/col.1.14-18.KJV


2nd Birth!


Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.  


For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.  But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,  And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.  


And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.  


And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? 


She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.  Jesus saith unto her, Mary. 


She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.  


Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.


John 20:2‭, ‬9‭, ‬11‭-‬18 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.20.2-18.KJV



Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;  And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:


Romans 1:3‭-‬4 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.1.3-4.KJV


At his Resurrection.


But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?  So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:  


It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:  


It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 


There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.  


And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.  


Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  


Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  


For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  


So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.


1 Corinthians 15:35‭, ‬42‭-‬45‭, ‬50‭-‬54 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.15.35-54.KJV


This is when you get your second birth.



Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.  


And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.


John 20:19‭, ‬26 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.20.19-26.KJV



"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."


John 3:5‭-‬8 KJV




Unless we're Enoch, All you can have now in this life is a change of mind. And even he is still among us and like the wind we can not see!


WHY?


And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.


John 3:13 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.13.KJV




BORN AGAIN IS A PROCESS THAT BEGINS WITH THE RENEWING OF THE MIND!



FIRST YA GET THE MIND, THEN YA GET THE BODY!


HOW, WHY AND WHEN?


And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  


Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.  


For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.


Revelation 22:12‭-‬15 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.22.12-15.KJV


IF YOU CANNOT POP IN A ROOM WITH THE DOORS AND WINDOWS SHUT…


YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN!

PEACE IN JESUS NAME!!


AMEN!



BORN AGAIN
