Hello Mizpeh... good to hear from you. So you believe one stands justified in the eyes of God before he is born of God? If justified is he yet condemned until born of God?
While you realize the correct understanding of the word power (exousia) in
John 1:12 do you see how the author has mistaken its meaning?
