DO YOU KNOW THE FIRST STEP TO BE BORN AGAIN? YOU MUST LEARN TO HATE WHO YOU ARE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Where in the Bible did you get this Doctrine of belief from...The first step to being "Born Again" or "Regenerated" is faith in Yeshua/Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that the only means of regeneration is by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. "If Christ's work on the cross is finished then what work is there left for you to do?" No amount of good works or keeping of the law can regenerate the heart which from birth is “deceitful and wicked above all things” The reason it's hard, actually impossible for a person to LEARN TO HATE WHO YOU/THEY ARE IN THE NAME OF JESUS is that your "Salvation" is then conditioned on your own Self Effort or your own "Work(s)" in the practice of HATING WHO YOU ARE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Hate yourself in my name of Jesus to enter the Kingdom of Heaven...is this really what Jesus was preaching/teaching to Nicodemus.
(NIV) John 3:1-5 Jesus Teaches Nicodemus 1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]
We know scripture says that Salvation cannot be achieved through works it is the free gift of God....so how does LEARNING TO HATE WHO YOU ARE IN THE NAME OF JESUS influences or makes God "Regenerate" you? The sign of "Regeneration" is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a person "this is the meaning of being born of the Spirit" so the question is are you "Born Again" or "Regenerated" if you never received the Holy Spirit? UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T NOBODY FIND ANY BORN AGAIN GAYS...so where does it say in the Bible that homosexuals cannot be "Born of the Spirit/Have the Holy Ghost" and will not be given "Salvation/Regeneration-You can't see the Kingdom of God without being "Regenerated." You are definitely not regenerated if you never received the Holy Ghost.
The reason you can't find Born Again gays is that you believe your Bible says that "Born Again" gays are fairy-tales, and don't exist and anyone that says they are "Gay" and "Born Again" is a lying "Demon Child" of Satan trying to tempt you but will be going straight to hell for blaspheming the Holy Spirit. If you believe it and say it you ought to be able to demonstrate you know it because you can show it- where is the scripture or scriptures that you are relying on that demonstrate what you believe is also the truth revealed in the word of God.
When what you believe you know from the Bible isn't found in the Bible it's time to find out the truth. After you have been "Regenerated" one of the first tasks one embarks on is in finding the truth- you have to be willing to REJECT ALL UNTRUE INFORMATION LEARNED WHILE YOU WERE UNREGENERATE AND ACQUIRE NEW UNDERSTANDING AND NEW INFORMATION IN YOUR REGENERATED STATE. In short you have to reevaluate your spiritual knowledge realizing that while you were un-regenerated you didn't now anything and what you thought you knew wasn't the truth...Just like in Philippians 3 you have to count all things before regeneration as all loss throwing off the dirty clothes of the old man while putting on the new garments of the new man.
Start by understanding 2 Timothy 2:15. Is what you believe of scripture coming from your Religion, your Tradition, your own knowledge/someone elses interpretation...The truth is what you believe of scripture should only come from the source of the Holy Spirit- The comforter, the guide, etc...Spiritual education is one of the primaary functions of the Holy Spirit. BUT UNTIL YOU SEE IT FOR YOURSELF IT'S WISHFUL THINKING-
This is why every thing you think you know has to to be verified through the scripture by you via the Holy Ghost...If you think you know it you'll never know that you don't know it and you reject the truth in error when it is presented to you because it's nothing that you know...in short you accept the lies and reject the truth because your religion, tradition , knowledge or other people never exposed you to the truth, you never learned the truth. Here are some topics and issues people think they know but don't.
True/False
1. The Primary reason shown by Genesis 19 that Sodom and Gomorrah where destroyed was because of homosexuality.
Answer: Ezekiel 16:49-50 -God tells us through His prophet specifically why He destroyed Sodom and her Sister Gomorrah.
Is what you thought you knew the truth?
True/False
2. You are not born homosexual, homosexuality is an abomination therefore there is no truth in the belief God creates homosexuals from the womb.
Answer: Matthew 19:12 answers the question but you have to understand what a Eunuch was in the context of the age...Specifically what does it mean spiritually to be a Eunuch born so from their mother's womb and what does it mean Physically to be a Eunuch born so from their mother's womb.
Is what you thought you knew the truth?
True/False
3. Adultery, Fornication, and Homosexuality are all Abominable sexual sins punishable by death God's Law forbid all types of sexual sin.
Answer: Exodus 20 reveals the 10 commandments of God's law and Exodus 20:14 the Seventh commandment only lists Adultery which has a specific definition of it's meaning...How did Fornication and Homosexuality get added to the meaning of the words in God's Law....
Is what you thought you knew the truth?
When it comes to scripture from the world it's not trust then verify it is verify before you trust...the only source of Spiritual knowledge that you can trust is revealed from the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps you!
