If every church person was asked if he/she is saved and born again, the vast majority would answer in the affirmative. If the Bible is to be believed, they would all be doubly wrong. Those who study the Holy Scriptures for God’s “fine print,” believe it and obey it, know that salvation and rebirth (being born again) will not take place until Christ returns to earth to receive His AND THEIR inheritance. Their joint-inheritance will be the earth and the universe that surrounds it.

I recommend that, in the near future, you take the time to read the series that deals with Christ’s and His saints’ status in the future relative to the universe. The series can be downloaded using the word Caretakers as the key. That series, combined with The Kingdom of God series (key word–Kingdom) will surely light a fire in your heart.

Though I have already published several series relative to the born again question (key word–Born), the Lord wants me to include a condensed version at this time. For those who have read the original series, bear with me. I am just following orders. As the Lord reminded me, He, through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, wrote four Gospels, all of which proclaim the exact same message. In reality, there are a number of specific subjects that are written about in numerous books in the Bible.

In the third chapter of John’s Gospel we find a Pharisee named Nicodemus approaching Jesus. His first words reveal not only a strange admission, but an equally strange irony. He told Jesus–the man the Pharisees and the Temple priests wanted dead–that the Pharisees and priests KNEW THAT HE WAS A TEACHER SENT FROM GOD BECAUSE ONLY ONE WHO WAS OF GOD COULD DO THE MIRACLES HE HAD BEEN DOING. The Pharisees and priests knew that He had been sent by God to the Jews, themselves included, with a message which He confirmed by performing miracles–AND THEY WANTED TO KILL HIM. If there is better proof of the power of Satan over the lives of religious people I am not aware of it. Those who claim to be saved and born again do not want to kill Jesus, but only because He supposedly saved them. However, they do want to destroy His Scriptural message and replace it with their own versions of it. These are known as church doctrines which number in the hundreds.

However, there is a price to pay for doing what Jesus condemned in Matthew 15:8,9 and Luke 6:46. As did their religious ancestors, they reject God’s Law and embrace Satan’s smooth things, lies and deceits proclaimed by his messengers. The Lord says that by rejecting any of His and the Father’s Words (for example the 4th commandment) they prove that they DESPISE BOTH HIM AND HIS SON. So says Jesus Christ in Luke 10:16. They also prove that they DO NOT LOVE HIM. So says Jesus Christ in John 14:15. They also prove that they DO NOT WANT TO ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. So says Jesus Christ in John 15:10. They also prove that they DO NOT WANT TO BE HIS DISCIPLES. So says Jesus Christ in John 8:31. They also prove that they DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HIM, HAVE HIS LOVE PERFECTED IN THEM, OR WANT TO BE IN HIM. So says the Lord through the Apostle John in first John 2:3-5. They also prove that they DO NOT WANT TO BE CHRIST’S FRIENDS. So says Jesus Christ in John 15:13,14. They also prove that they DO NOT WANT TO BE HIS SPIRITUAL BRETHREN. So says Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:48-50.

Jesus cut directly to the chase, saying to Nicodemus: “Except you be BORN AGAIN, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God” (vs 5). Notice He did not say “heaven.” No one except Jesus has ever gone to heaven or will ever go to heaven. Read the series on Heaven. Key word–Heaven. Read Life After Death: What, When, Where? Key word–After.

When Nicodemus questioned Christ’s statement about being born again. The Lord explained that He was referring to the change His Very Elect saints will experience in which their flesh will disappear and they will be totally spirit in bodily composition–EXACTLY AS JESUS IS NOW AND WILL BE UPON HIS RETURN. This transition will take place upon their resurrection and ascent into the air where He will be awaiting them. Read The Rapture. Key word–Rapture.

Jesus went on to explain that when the saint, having been born again and in spirit form, will be invisible except when he/she wants to be seen, as Jesus Himself would be after experiencing rebirth 3 1/2 years later. He explained to the Pharisee that “flesh is (only) flesh and spirit is (only) spirit.” In this life we are flesh beings which have a spirit. That God-given spirit is referred to as “the spirit that is in man” in Job 32:8. In the next life God’s Very Elect will be totally spirit, as is He. The born again experience will do away with the flesh and replace it with spirit, turning the born again person into a spirit being, exactly like the Godhead with whom they will spend eternity. Obviously, only One human has been born again–Jesus of Nazareth. But He is only the FIRST human to be so changed. Those who believe and obey Him will also be born again and will enter the Kingdom of God after descending to the Mount of Olives and entering the city of Jerusalem. As Jesus told Nicodemus, ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE PARADISE WHERE THEY AND THE GODHEAD WILL SPEND ETERNITY. Please read the born again series as well as the Kingdom and Caretaker series. You will be glad you did. See the homepage under the NOTICE heading for instructions on downloading a series.
