IGNORANCE OF SCRIPTURES is IGNORANCE OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!! Catholics need to be “BORN AGAIN” in order to be saved. Finish the sentence. The sentence says that you must be born again of water and the spirit in order to be saved (John 3:5). This is a clear reference to Baptism (Matthew 3:16). We know from Matthew 3:16 that the Spirit comes to us at Baptism, which makes us a new creation in Christ, rather than just being a carnal being of planet earth. The phrase can also be translated born from above in addition to born again. Tell them that you have been baptized and this is no longer an issue for you. Water and the Spirit together in the Bible always mean a new creation, or new life, or new beginning. In Genesis 1:2, the spirit moved over the water, creating the plants and animals and humans (new creation). In Genesis 8:8-12, Noah let loose a dove (symbolizing the Holy Spirit) over the water to find out if there was any dry land (new beginning). In Exodus 13:21, The Holy Spirit appeared as a pillar of fire next to the Red Sea to guard and guide the Israelites to the Promised Land (new beginning). And as previously mentioned, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove over the water where Jesus was baptized in Matthew 3:16. And as if to put a punctuation mark on the true meaning of being born again of water and the spirit, a few verses after John 3:5, where Jesus says you must be born from water and the spirit, in John 3:22, Jesus actually baptizes people - which is the only place in scripture where He does that! ------------------------------------ My creation will be BORN AGAIN, returning like children, innocent, without malice; this will be the Great Return, the Rebirth, the Call of the Shepherd, the New Pentecost, like in the beginning when Christianity was still at its early stages, an infant, innocent, without self-interest; ah creation! just wait and see....JESUS CHRIST. tlig.org/en/messages/252
