lmorovan,
This is the last time that I will post on your board. What you have said does not fall in line with Scripture.
How do you become a born again believer? By confessing your sins, asking for forgiveness and repent and turn away from the sin.
Acts 16:31- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:10- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
You forgot to mention the belief aspect. The first thing man must do is to believe, then confess.
Sin can never be justified before God.
Once confession is made, man becomes justified.
Romans 5:9- Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Galatians 2:16- Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Titus 3:7- That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
...person must repent, that is, willingly and consciously promising not to sin again.
Where do you get this definition? Where in Scripture?
Those of you who are reading this board, if you want to see some real discussion of Biblical topics, look at the Bible discussion board in the Coffee Shop. And please feel free to ask questions. We love asking and answering them.
This is my final post on this board. I will leave the rest to the Lord.
By His Grace
