Only those chosen by God, and regenerated by God, and are "in Christ" are the redeemed. As for the term, 'believer', the use depends on the context. I sometimes say, "true believer" to denote only those who are "in Christ". There are many who go by the name that are not in Christ.

Believer means born again (Jn 3:3-5) by the sovereign will of the Holy Spirit who is as unaccountable as the wind (Jn 3:6-8).

And you believe that anyone " can be BORN AGAIN today ?

Then 1 John 5:18 says , We know that WHOSOEVER born of God sinneth NOT // OU is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE NEGGATIVE

that means that believer will NEVERRRRRRR EVER SIN AGAIN , so check the Greek TEXT and see ) but he is begotten of God

KEEPETH himself and that wicked one Toucheth him NOT !!

What say you ??

Undoubtedly being chastised and disciplined as a received son can certainly seem like being cursed or accursed.

And then there's this, of course:

Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Presumably the "cross" was made from "a tree." And WHO is to take up their respective crosses?

Again, presumably all of us

And Gal 3:28 says we ARE // IN Christ !!

The Greek word ARE // ESTE is a verb in the PRESENG TENSE , IN THE INDICATIVE MOOD , express things that are a FACT

and means we are OSAS !!

Gal 1:8 and 9 they are ACCURED because they are to you CONTRAY to what you received , let hm be ACCUR SED!

I have no issues with OSAS

I also have no issues with God cursing the tempter in any/all of us

Paul is dead and can no longer speak. The entire gospel he preached is not written in the canon.

Accursed is a heavy curse. The application of it by the early church implies it is a damnation curse.

A number of christians fall under this curse and start acting .. the opposite of how they should.

And will say that since Jesus is dead his WORDS are not revered TODAY ??

And 1 Cor 3:6 says that I planted , Apollos watered , but God was CAUSING the growth .

And read Rom 16:25 and 26 and many have not seen that Paul preached the MYSTERY having KEPT SILENT , which is in

the Greek PERFECT TENSE in times pertaining to the AGES .

And in 1 Tim 1:4 Paul has this to say , Nor to give attention to FABLES and ENDLESS GENEALOGIES which cause questionings

, rather than the GOD'S DISPESATION the one by FAITH

Which means to be in the FAITH , you better know what Paul TAUGHT !

And Paul says that ANGELS are WATCHING all of us , in 1 Cor 4:9 !!

But He is risen and the identical comforter the Holy Spirit indwells us.

We do not receive the spirit of Saint Paul, though I wouldn't be surprised if that was the name of some kind of liquor.

That verse is in 1 Cor 12: 13 and reads , For even by ONE SPIRIT were we all PLACED into one BODY , whether

Jew or Greek whether slaves r Free and were all given to drink INTO ONE SPIRIT !!

Fluffy poodle oranges in full bloom. Go answer.
Since you disagree , why not look up what the Greek word ACCURSED means and is in the Nominative Case

in the Singular and in the NEUTER !!

If you have STRONG'S CONCORDANCE see G331 !!

You never have HEARD of the Aorist tense , or the Present Tense or the Imperfect Tense or Future Tense , or the Singular

or the Plural or the Indicative Mood , Subjunctive Mood , or the IMPERATIVE MOOD and what is called the

NEUTER means ether MALE or Female , and in the DISPENSATIONAL section I do use the Greek words .
