Paul said that Gentiles are wild branches grafted into a tree. The scripture seems clear. I dont understand the confusion

Evangelicals teach a momentous change from sinner to saint by a formulation called being "Born Again." And this implies for some an immediate change, and for others, a progressive change. In reality I think it is both.

I do think there is an immediate Born Again change when we begin to acknowledge that Christ is our substitute, when we put that reality into motion by accepting God's Word in our lives that enables us to live according to that directive. Just like when our employer tells us to do something he provides the means for us to do it, we can do God's word when He gives us the command to do it.

Even more, when God tells us to completely relinquish final say in our lives, and make God our primary source of authority, we are able to follow that directive and thereby obtain the spiritual means to comply. We become "Born Again."

Some Christians try to dismiss the confusion over formulations of Salvation on the premise that we begin as sinners and end as sinners even after we come under Grace. We are not instantly transformed into saints--we simply become God's People by covenant in the act of acknowledging it and following that directive.

A formula for becoming "Born Again" can become an "oversimplification" of the Salvation formula. We go from sinner to saint only in the sense that 1) we come under covenant with God, 2) we come under grace, and 3) we live by our substitute and not by our carnal being. As such, we are Born Again but not living in righteousness except on the basis of Grace until we obtain glorification.
But I believe that there are some confusion according to the Bible because I believe that born again is written in the Bible maybe a few times and he speaks more of a change in the body not to mind. Now Paul says in Romans 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Now, Let’s jump right in a conversation that Jesus was having with a man name Nicodemus. John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Notice verse 3, except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. We have just learned something here. If you are not born again you can not see the kingdom of God. As we go further you will understand this. Remember there is a time for everything.

Nicodemus asked a very good question. Take a look at the next set of verses.

John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

In verse 5, born of the water in this case is the Word of God. Notice the Lord mentions the kingdom of God again, but He adds a little more information. He says "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. When he mentions spirit He means exactly that. Watch how the Lord gives something physical to describe exactly what He means.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Notice: He made a difference between flesh and spirit. Ask yourself that question, was you born flesh or spirit? Angels where born spirit being, man and beast are born flesh and blood. There will be no flesh in the Father Kingdom, only spirit beings, so everyone must be born again. Only Jesus in his thousand year reign will have both, which includes the first resurrection.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Notice: He compared the wind to a spirit. Can you see the wind? No! We have seen things being blown around by the wind, but we have never seen the wind. If you are born of the spirit you are like the wind. This is when you are truly born again, when you are born of the spirit.

Notice: what Jesus does in these next few verses. Remember, this is after His resurrection.

John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

People don't seem to seek the kingdom but they seek politicians and worldly nations. They don't know that they're kings and priests in Jesus kingdom. They think that they're Republicans and Democrats, or some religious denomination. They dont obey Matthew chapter 6, or 5 and 7.

Yeah I get what you saying about the politician, but when it comes to kings and priest then that kind of goes into the nationality. The true Israelites are the kings and priests and they are still in captivity to this day, and the other nations supposed to be taught by the Israelites which are in captivity to this day. But let's take a look at what the Bible says in Romans 11: 1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
"Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, you only have I known of all the families of the earth: Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." (Amos 3:1-2)

For what purpose did the Lord choose the children of Israel? (Exodus 19: 1-6) Let's look at the 5th & 6th vs.; "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (6th vs.) and ye shall be unto me a Kingdom of Priest, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel." Take a look at what Peter was telling the Jews, quoting Moses in 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

I'm not sure if you knew this or not but I just wanted to post it and put it on the table, because it's so much out of course according to the word of God.

Not a physiological change in the body, but a new mental orientation for the body so that instead of serving the Self we serve Christ. By "Self" I refer to self-autonomy in which we show no concern in our choices for God's interests nor pay any attention to the word of God speaking within our conscience.

So what we do is direct, through our renewed minds, our bodies to pursue good interests. Our bodies, as such, become instruments of righteousness as opposed to instruments of carnality and self-interest alone.

We seem to be talking past one another. Nothing you said remotely addresses any of my points, as far as I can tell. Seems like a canned answer. Sorry.

So when Jesus died and born again he had a different Body and can do other things like pop up from nowhere, etc. Look at what 1 Peter says in Ch 1: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Paul confirm what Peter says the same thing in 1 Corthinan 15: 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

So when you get this glorious body and you come up in the first resurrection, if you so happen to be so blessed and become one of the saints then you are born again you are born into the God family. Then and only then, you can't never sin again.

Yes, it's like taking sides on an issue. You're either for the current policy politically or you're not. You may not hold to all of the policies of the current administration, but basically, you're on his or her side.

It's the same thing with the Law of Moses. Israel was either on the side of keeping God's Law, or they were for other gods. They certainly didn't keep the Law perfectly. But then again, being for the Law meant you believed you needed to make restitution in incidences in which you failed your own conscience.

In the matter of being a saint or a sinner, you choose to be one or the other. It doesn't mean that if you choose to be a saint you will be sinless or perfect. It just meant that you consistently prove which side you are on, namely on that of being a saint.

So when John indicates that the genuine Christian doesn't sin, he is speaking of which side the person is on, that of being a saint or a sinner. The saint does not *practice sin* as a general rule, although when he does sin, he will make petition to God for forgiveness. It is *not* sinlessness, which is never something that the Law of Moses taught. And the Law set the standard of righteousness, namely obedience to God's word, for Christianity.

So when you read "the born again do not sin," read "the born again do not, as a general rule, practice sin." Biblical expression expects the reader to be somewhat conversant in the language of biblical truth overall. Otherwise, communication becomes too stifled to even speak or be understood.

Let's go into Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

Look at verse 31, once they realized that it was Jesus they spoke with, what happen? He vanished out of their sight. Remember in John chapter 3 and verse 8. The Lord gave an example of how a spirit would look. He likened a spirit to the wind.( John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit)

According to word of God, Jesus had to be born again and so will you in the resurrection. But people wanna make this a change of the mind and it's not, it’s a change in the body. Now Jesus was example born of a woman never sin, die and was resurrected born again back in the God family, that’s our example of life, if we keep the Lord’s Commandments.

So when Jesus died and born again he had a different Body and can do other things like pop up from nowhere, etc. Look at what 1 Peter says in Ch 1: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Paul confirm what Peter says the same thing in 1 Corthinan 15: 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

So when you read "the born again do not sin," read "the born again do not, as a general rule, practice sin." Biblical expression expects the reader to be somewhat conversant in the language of biblical truth overall. Otherwise, communication becomes too stifled to even speak or be understood.

So can a believer choose to sin after Jesus returns and he gets his glorified body?
