What am I?But it's okay to say you're born again, right?
It is your prerogative to follow your faith.
I would not say it because that is so dishonoring God and Jesus' name to me.
I would not do it to my God the Father and my Lord Jesus Christ.

You just follow your faith.I agree. But he don't see it that way.
Do you mean 'judged' as in 'condemned', or 'judged' as in 'examined'?I know most of you don't believe that Christians are already judged and will not be judged again.
Do you have the Holy Spirit inside of you?What am I?
Do you have a scriptural reference to support this assertion that saying you are born again and/or saved is dishonoring God and Jesus' name?I would not say it because that is so dishonoring God and Jesus' name to me.
Come on.Do you have a scriptural reference to support this assertion that saying you are born again and/or saved is dishonoring God and Jesus' name?
I hope so.Do you have the Holy Spirit inside of you?
What's the difference, if we are disobedient and we will be condemned. and If you are sincere servants of God and Jesus we will be saved.Do you mean 'judged' as in 'condemned', or 'judged' as in 'examined'?
Perhaps you are thinking of a scripture or two that you can share with us.
Where is the misconception? You appear to be saying contradictory things—“We will all be judged;” “Christians are already judged and will not be judged again.”We all will be judged when the time comes.
I know most of you don't believe that Christians are already judged and will not be judged again.
this is another misconception of trin believers.
We already had a lengthy discussion.Where is the misconception? You appear to be saying contradictory things—“We will all be judged;” “Christians are already judged and will not be judged again.”
No, I claim to be converted.
"Your salvation is assured if you are being faithful to Him until the end."Why did you agree with my comment above?
You don't know if you are in the Book of Life.I will call myself "saved" after I hear that my name is still in the book of life.
Run that "race", everybody !No, I'm pretty sure I understand Hopeful 2 's argument well.
He does not believe anyone can know they are saved because he does not believe that anyone is saved until the end.
Of course, if we are Jesus' followers and we are all running the race.Run that "race", everybody !
You see my POV clearly.He claims to be born again. But he says no one is saved until they make it all the way through their life without sinning thus showing themselves to really be born again. And so because they are born again they will be saved at the resurrection and the return of Christ. I invite his correction if I have misunderstood his position on this.
How many fakers have claimed they were born again?Jesus says you have to be born again to be saved.
So if you claimed to be born again, you are claiming to be saved.
I suppose we could say the same thing about "I am born again".Claiming to be saved is an arrogant attitude that is so against Jesus' principles.
Get real friend.
[/QUOTE]How many fakers have claimed they were born again?
Yes, and that judgment belongs to the Lord Jesus.The day of judgement will make it clear who has remained faithful until the end of their life.
That is still contingent on continued belief.1 John 5:11-13.
Of course.I suppose we could say the same thing about "I am born again".
Yes, and we might be deceiving ourselves.Self-evaluation need not be wrong, but it must continue until the end to be genuine.
