Re: Jail house Christianity and Jesus Name People

For someone to have a proper and normative birth experience a number of things need to happen, repentance, faith, baptism and the Spirit.

Each of those things are significant and bring about transformation in some degree, so we do never want to undermine or play down the significance of what happens in each part or experience. Our role as spiritual midwifes is to help people have the greatest and healthiest birth experience that they can have.

Repentance and Faith towards God isn't regeneration, Justification by God doesn't happen at the reception of the spirit, Union with Christ only happens at baptism, etc. That is why it is so vital that we get every part.

The reason why people have such significant change at each of those parts in that in and of themselves alone they are powerful encounters that will change any life.
