born again

I have concluded that people who will not subscribe to the eternal security of the believer are those who ascribe eternal salvation to the whims of men (choice, decision, etc.) and lay no emphasis at all upon the sovereign power and work of the Holy Spirit. People are born again because God...

The scriptures tell us that part of God's plan is for Jesus to return to this earth sometime in the near future to rule and then judge both the living and the dead. He will then establish eternal peace in a new heaven and a new earth. Jesus said, "The Son of Man is going to come in his Father's...

“The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth...
