I AM BAPTIZED! Sin is a daily part of our lives but so also is forgiveness. Our Baptism is not just our past history. It is our daily experience today. What does it mean to you to be a baptized Christian who is baptized?
ARE YOU ARE “BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN?” 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God .“ 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit , he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again .' (John 3:3-7 ESV)
