what happens when believers die, in terms of judgment what happens?
what happens when believers die, in terms of judgment what happens?
There are two deaths/baptisms.
One baptism (of the Holy Spirit) for believers.
two according to Jesus
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless anyone be born of water and of the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
He did not say baptized in that sentence, so obviously it is only about one baptism.
one or two, what happens at judgment.
please explain both
he did not need to ...
I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
This may prove to be helpful to youso the Bible says we are accountable for every word we say, thing we do, thought we think. so is that all played out before God and we are judged for all the wrong we've done? how does that accountability play out?
That is only about the Holy Spirit baptism.
No water baptism gets people into heaven when they die.
We’re judged on our love. That’s the purpose of our faith, love being the very definition of righteousness for man. It’s the result of entering fellowship with God who is love, and remaining in Him as we pick up our cross and follow daily.so the Bible says we are accountable for every word we say, thing we do, thought we think. so is that all played out before God and we are judged for all the wrong we've done? how does that accountability play out?
according to Jesus both are required ... post 6 ...
to be born again is to be born a second time, and you can't be born a second time without being born a first time ... water and spirit
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
The first time is when you were born physically with the umbilical cord still attached.
A few were resurrected, then died again. Jesus was resurrected and lives on spiritually. He is supposed to return to give life to the righteous living and dead. God is omnipotent. Believers have been shown and told of God’s power, it is up to them to follow Christ’s example.what happens when believers die, in terms of judgment what happens?
