The Restored Church of God presents, author David C. Pack.
Many Protestants and virtually all “evangelical” Christians think that after becoming “believers,”
they have been “born again.”
While having no idea what the term actually means, they had been told that “professing
Jesus” was a kind of “new birth”—that they were in some mysterious way “born again.”
It also became their Christian duty then, to bring others to this belief.
I have been approached more than once and asked if I have been “born again.”
I always answered no because I know what the Bible teaches!
The popular concept of being “born again” is based largely on ignorance of God’s Word
and outright silly reasoning.
Yet the deception that this single misunderstanding presents causes many other true doctrines
to fall like dominoes.
God’s purpose for man—that He is expanding His Family—the true gospel, true conversion,
most aspects of the kingdom of God, the meaning of being sons of God, character development,
the pagan trinity doctrine, who is the antichrist, and more, become impossible to properly understand.
Almost none take the time to examine—or prove—what God’s Word says about this
extremely important subject.
If they did, they would be stunned—astonished—at what they found!
Most professing Christians believe that being “born again” occurs in this life upon
“receiving Jesus.”
But this is not what the Bible teaches.
Being “born again” has nothing whatsoever to do with “professing Jesus,” “just
believing in your heart,” “giving your heart to the Lord” or any other kind of
religious experience.
It does not happen at conversion.
The Bible teaches that it happens long after this initial step in a new Christian’s life.
So few understand Jesus’ words: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God.”
Note what Christ says is at stake in just this single scripture.
One’s ability to “see the kingdom of God” hinges solely on whether he is “born again.”
Obviously, one had better understand the enormous importance of how and when this occurs!
When Christ said “Except a man,” He left no room for misunderstanding.
Do not be confused.
Remaining deceived about being born again makes salvation impossible.
Certainly, when this occurs is inseparable from properly understanding how it happens
or what it means.
Also, if one believes conversion allows a person to “see the kingdom,” then he must
believe God’s kingdom is here now.
Yet the Bible plainly teaches otherwise!
You can understand what so many do not.
