Is that the scripture to which you refer? There definitely is an "entering into", but
NOT without the Holy Spirit. After being led out of Egypt, the Israelites SAW the
Promise Land that side of the Jordan River; however, they did not enter in because
of their unbelief. Their unbelief only allowed the Israelites see SEE the Promise Land.
According to my reading of
John 3:3, they had a choice to make after hearing
the spies' testimony, and they made the wrong one!
But please feel free to show me the scriptures to point out my confusion.
