IF you can be born a second time while leaving the first birth goverance fully alive, what kind of a stew do you think is simmering on your stove? Is governor #1 going to put out the red carpet for governor #2? Not likely.

So Encryptus,
what is the remedy that the God has provided in your life for this opportunity for double-mindedness?

ah ... the 3 steppers and their analogies ... which one is it ... baptism is the death, burial ? Is repentance death? Why does Paul, Roman 6, say baptism represents all 3 ... death, burial and resurrection?

TBP, you are articulate but please understand that repeating what you believe and stating analogies and typologies that excite you ... do not doctrine make.
