In Saint John 3 verse 3 Jesus says," Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Jesus is speaking to a man by the name of Nicodemus who was a religeous leader of Israel at that time. He was a "master"of the religeous rituals and laws yet he did not know how to get in heaven. (John 3:10) In Revelelation chapter 3 verse 20 "Jesus says Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to Him, and sup with him, and he with me" the door is our heart and Jesus is gently knocking for permission to come into our lives in a personal relationship. Being born again is a personal experience. and has nothing to do with religion or joining to a church. You open a heart to Jesus. He comes in and leads you to the heavenly Father who "is faithful and just to forvive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousnes." To be born again Just pray the following prayer, but make it your prayer from the heart. Make this prayer as sincere prayer from your heart." My Heavenly Father I come to you today as a sinner and need forgiveness. Your Son Jesus died for my sin and I want to accecpt Him as my Savior. dear Jesus I have felt you knocking at my hearts door and right this very moment I ask yuo to come into my life and cleanse me of all sins. I want you to be my savior and the Lord of my life from this moment on. Holy Spirit I ask to give me the strength and power to live this newly committed life. Thank you Father for calling me to you, Thank you Jesus for coming into my life and cleansing me of my sin, Thank you Holy Spirit for forgiving me strength and power, In Jesus name I pray Amen." (after praying start reading Gospel of Mark and Gospel of John.)---- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ; there is a new creation: the old has gone; the new has come." 1Cor.5:17. God bless All.
ANO ANG IYONG KASAGUTAN SA DALAWANG KATANUNGANG ITO?
1.)Dumating na po ba sa inyong buhay na natiyak ninyo, na kung mamamatay kayo ay alam niyong pupunta kayo sa Langit.? 2.) Halimbawa pong mamatay kayo ngayon (huwag naman po sana) at sa pagharap ninyo sa Diyos ay tanungin Niya kayo, "Bakit kita dapat papasukin sa Langit ano pong isasagot ninyo.? --" Sapagkat ang pagdating ng Araw ng Panginoon ay tulad ng magnanakaw." (1Tessalonica 5:2).
Hindi ko pinag-iisipan
Ako hindi ko pinag-iisipan ang dalawang katanungan mo na yan. Lahat naman sa atin di alam kung saan mapupunta at wala namang patay na nakabalik pa na nakapagsasabing nanggaling siya sa langit, impyerno o purgatoryo. Sa pangalawang katanungan ang isasagot ko kayo po lamang ang makapaghuhusga kung karapatdapat akong mapunta diyan. Hindi ka na niya tatanungin niyan dahil siya na nga ang nakakaalam ng lahat. Bakit pa siya magtatanong na alam naman niya ang lahat kahit pa ang iyong isasagot.
Pag gusto maraming paraan. Pag ayaw marami dahilan..

Lord, basta bakung makulog
1. Dumating na po ba sa inyong buhay na natiyak ninyo, na kung mamamatay kayo ay alam niyong pupunta kayo sa Langit.?
------> XEMPRE HINDI
2. Ba't ka dapat papasukin sa langit?
------> Ta pan o Lord, sa hiling ko, bako man ako maxado makasal an. nagkakasala man huba nin diit pero bakong alug nin iba. Sabi nga ni Dante Alghieri, maraming levels ang hell, the topmost level of which, is the way to heaven. if hindi ako qualified sa loob, maybe sa malapit sa top na level na lang, kung saan less sufferings lang. kase yung pinakabottom, nakamamatay. and if mamamatay ako, wag now. give me at least 100 years to live, dahil marami pa kong gustong gawin, at marami pa kong purpose dito sa earth. at maraming umaasa sa'ken! pag namatay ako, wala na kaming kakainin. thank you.

Choosen For a Purpose
READ Ephesians 1:4--For He choose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. (nib). If you are a Christian, it is no random accident. You are in Christ because that is what Father God wanted you have been wanted for a long time. even before the world was made. God knew that he wanted you to belong to Him and the matter was discussed between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Those "well words" inviting you into God"s Kingdom were the start of all blessing, (well word's) we looked at yesterday (cf Eph.1:3). It is nice to be wanted and included, especially by God, However, nice in such a limp word for the immence privilege of being the object of the choise, but it is not only the matter of privilege, because God always has a purpose in mind, His purpose for our relationship with Him is that we should be holy (special for God saints) and blameless (spotless, without any stain or imperfection). Although we all have some we go before thay becomes reality, God has spoken that "well word" over us and we can be confident that He will make it happen! His powerfull Word quarantees that it will , and when we see Jesus face to face, all that God has spoken will be completed in us.!!! Those believers, who despair because of thier weaknes in temptation should be encouraged.... God has pronounced holiness over you and He will on you to ensure a good result, those who fell that they cannot be of any use to God, should know that He has a totally different idea. So today is a good day to accept of being choosen by the Almighty , and submit to the process of being a ' work in progress" knowing that, should give the confidence we need to speak good things about the One who has spoken well about us. Your confidence will show, and when collages notice, do tell them who has selected you for special purpose. --- PRAYER Heavenly Father, amid all the rejection around me, thank You for choosing me to belong to You. Help me to see the disturbance in my life as the necessary incovinience of being Your "work in Progress" Your masterpiece in the making for CHRIST sake. Amen.....
BORN AGAIN?
True faith will have works. not just any work but good works. your faith in God should make you strive to seek the will of the God that you love. and since the will of God is for you to do good, your faith will result in good works. And it is our response as a result of our faith and love to daily seek to do God's will.
where does grace come in? however faithful we are, however good our works are, it will not be enough to save us in itself. But God is so gracious that even while we are imperfect in faith and works, he is faithful to supply grace to cover our imperfections with His perfection.
how about church membership? while it is not the basis of salvation, scripture clearly describes God's people as a church. a group of people doing his will. God clearly wants us not to forsake the gathering of believers. We are to edify each other in the faith and the best way to do it is when we share fellowship, teach, and care for each other as in a church.
You are not saved by your religion. You are saved by grace through faith. And do you have faith? Show it through your works. Join a church that best conforms to the teachings of the Bible and one that teaches you how to become a better christian but let your loyalty be to God and not your religion. Study the word of God for yourself, and build an intimate relationship with God. If it leads you to a different religion then you have acted on the light you have received. ultimately we are judged according to the light we have received and what we have done with it.
faith
tumpak!
You are not saved by your religion. You are saved by grace through faith. - LS
tama!
Nga lang..
ano ang object of that faith...
some of UPenians tells that, faith is an act of believing in something you didn't see. Then they says that if you do such thing, you're not getting far to a fool human.
@ Religion, tulad ni apostol
@ Religion, tulad ni apostol Pablo loyal sa Hebrew religion ng maging converted.nabago ang pagsunod dahil kay Jesus.(Gawa 26:4-11/Sant. 1:26-27.) marami gumagamit ng Bible, lalo sa mga religion na tao ang itinataas at di ang Panginoon Hesus o gamitin paraan sa sariling pakinabang. Relation po ang kailangan ng tao para sa Diyos at di religion yan po ang pagkakaiba. mula ng naputol ang relasyon ng tao sa Diyos ng magkasala si Adan at Eva, kaya nahiwalay na ang tao sa Diyos.( sapagkat ang lahat ay nagkasala at walang sinumang karapat dapat sa paningin ng Diyos. Rom. 3:23) Ang tao na walang relasyon sa Diyos ay patay sa ispiritual. kaya kahit ano pa gawin ng tao maging deboto sa turo ng religion, tuparin ang 10 commandment, manalangin,gumawa ng mabuti sa kapwa. kung wala talaga tamang relasyon sa God. sayang lang ang pagsunod.(Epeso 2:8-9) di natin maipagmalaki ang mabubuting gawa sa Diyos. madali tayong mangako na magbabago new year resolution balik parin sa pagkakasala. Pero kung Born Again in Spirit dahil kay Jesus. yan ang napakagandang experience ng taong tunay na binago ng mga salita ni Jesus na nakasulat sa Bible.( Jesus is the Way Jn 14: 6)" Kaya't ang pananampalataya ay bunga ng pakikinig at makakapakinig lamang kung may nangangaral tungkol kay Cristo."Roma.10:17. Man Does not live by bread alone but by words of God also. (Mat.4:4)
Born again
Isa ring relihiyon na may iba ring paniniwala. Alang simbahan kahit saan pwedeng magtipon at magpuri. Sa tubig nila binbinyagan ang isang magiging miyembro. Kahit saan makikita mo sila lalo sa matataong lugar. Ibinabalita ang tungkol sa panginoon at kasama na ang paglikom ng halaga. Yun ang kanilang paniniwala hayaan natin sila. Basta para sa Panginoon no question ako diyan. Kahit anong relihiyon paman yan basta iisa ang ating sinasamba at kung paano natin siya ma praise.
Pag gusto maraming paraan. Pag ayaw marami dahilan..
born again

Born Again means new birth &
Born Again means new birth & a new life.
If Jesus accepted you in your life, you will enjoy the essence of the LORD to be a Christian, full of life, joy, peace, rest, purpose, and fulfillment in God.
Anong halaga ning palasyo kung ang ka-star ay kuwago, marhay pa ang payag sa paligid puno ng mam-on!
"unless a man be born again. he cannot enter the kingdom of God"
that's very right! it's not the sect "born again" but we must have new life. indeed faith without works is useless....ejr
