BORN AGAIN: NOT BY WATER

 BORN AGAIN: NOT BY WATER
by Alan Yusko

Many are confused by this verse because they do not know that water baptism has no part in salvation. Here is the verse...(5)

John 3:
3 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.
4 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?
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.

Nicodemous was curious.. He wondered how a person could be born again.. One cannnot re-enter the womb to be born again...

Some are mistaken when they read John 3:5. They think that being born of water is water baptism. Sadly, I have heard people make that foolish claim. So let me explain this verse. This verse is speaking of the 2 births available to mankind. The first is born by water. This is human birth. We all come into this world as a baby. Ever hear the term.. "her water broke"... That happens before birth of a baby. Whan that happens the baby is coming. Better go straight to the hospital or wherever you plan to have the baby. So physical birth is being born of water. We all go through that birth.

Next we have another birth. It is a birth by the Spirit. This happens when a person repents and admits he is a lost sinner before God. Next he trusts the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation. At that point the person is born again, or born of the Spirit. Look at this verse..

John 3:
3 “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.”

Now we are all born physically or born of water. But only a few choose to be born again by trusting the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation.

What choice have you made? Are you born just once or have you been born twice? Only those born twice will be going to heaven. Make a wise choice.

DECEPTION: HAVE THE ELECT BEEN DECEIVED?

 DECEPTION: HAVE THE ELECT BEEN DECEIVED? By Alan Yusko The answer to the question in the title of this post is ... yes you are deceived. Indeed, many who call themselves saved have been deceived in these very last days. Look at these verses: Matthew 24 kjv 24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Mark 13 kjv 22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” Now what do I mean that many of the elect, the saved have been deceived? Sadly, many have fallen for satan's corrupted and perverted false modern bibles. They have fallen away from the pure word of God in the kjv. The deceived read, quote, and use bibles based on corrupted documents and claim they are more up-to-date that the kjv. This is the deception of the devil. You see the kjv is both imspired and preserved b...

RAPTURE AND WAR IS COMING

 RAPTURE AND WAR IS COMING By Alan Yusko The rapture is coming very soon. The events of the coming 7 year time of jacobs trouble are now being setup and can be seen today. The 7 year time of jacobs trouble is now casting shadows upon the earth. This period is commonly referred to as the "tribulation period". Anyone can see it coming if they look. In fact the wrath of God starts with 7 seals and they can be seen being setup and ready to go now. The fact is the judgment of the Lord is coming soon. Guess what? The saved are not in darkness and we will be able to see that day of the Lord coming. See below: 1 Thessalonians 5  kjv 4 “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” Today, many who are saved and love the Lord are saying the Lord Jesus is coming back real soon. We are aware that the Lord Jesus will return soon to rapture home His saved church. The saved warn people that time is short and judgment is coming. As a result the lost mo...
