To be 'touched' by Truth. Whenever we surrender our self to be consciously honest, Truth 'touches' our soul with conviction, love, and a faith that is doubtless and fearless. This is true living. It can't get any better than that.

Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. God's truth is straight to the point. It does not wonder. The truth, and the life is a very narrow way, compared to the broad way of this world. Those who remain humble and meek know how narrow it is. That is why they remain silent, relaxed, allowing...

Yep, but they don't know it, or don't want to know it.

I said water was "a means to be filled with spirit". i did not say it was a must.

See Matthew 10:39. One must lose 'self' to find 'Self'. To lose ego-self to find spirit-self (Being). God/Truth is Everything real. Unconditional faith is being prepared to let go of everything to gain Everything. To let go of everything visible for Everything invisible.

Water is a medium in relation to spirit, such as living water. Humans contain more than 50% water. Baptism by water, or by human hand, is a means to be filled with spirit.

Yes, if their faith is unconditional. Many Christians are not unconditional, they are still fearful in their faith. They are still trying to 'claim' validity in this world, and even for a place in heaven.

Oil keeps the light of the lamp lit. Spirit of Truth keeps the light of our lamp (soul/heart/eye) lit, so we can see the truth of where we are going in life on earth. To be anointed, is to be filled with spirit, or with the Spirit of Truth. Truth illuminates those that welcome (allow to be...

You have made a distinction between the two, i.e., one is born again, and the other is not. In this case, the born again refers to being born again, not again by flesh, but by spirit. The other, just a Christian, is a believer of Jesus Christ, but only born by flesh.

I was referring to a person being re-formed by losing 'self' to find 'Self'. From human body to spirit body.

On the topic title: Less and less people have reason to seek the truth. More and more people believe that they don't have to seek the truth (anymore).

Re-born is similar to re-formed, as you already know.

Jesus Christ showed us what unconditional faith is like.

Be still, and know that I am God; ... Psalm 46:10 God is Truth. Truth is doubtless and obvious. One cannot debate it. Truth has no needs or wants, for it is complete and perfect. It is the only reality, and anything other than truth is untrue, and unreal. Heaven is a place of Truth. Only the...

Matthew 15:13 He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots".

It's all relative. But the funny part of it is that most would say they thought they were adult at the time, only to discover years down the track that they weren't. It is always the older wiser ones that say that the adult age group ought to be much older than it is. The highest rates of...

Child's brain is still developing. At 2-3, they are learning about self, using words such as "I" and "me", where the mind weaves a story about self (ego). At 3-4 they are starting to learn how their self fits into the world they walk through (pre-school).

As a child I have been regularly physically abused by alcoholic father. At times I should have been hospitalized, but it was hush hush then. I was single child. Could not understand spanking long after the fact. My mother did not spank me, but dobbed me in to father, which I pleaded her to not...

Once you see the Light it becomes clear and certain. But if you only see the dark, you can never be sure. Thanks again netchaplain for a very edifying thread.
