This appendix should not affect Christian�s beliefs about their spiritual status, but only reiterate they are still in their carnal bodies; and change their understanding of the rhetoric of the widely misused term "Born again" in the true light of Holy Scriptures.

The Saints, the Elect, the called Chosen Ones are transformed in the mind here in this carnal body, but "Born again" into their glorified spiritual bodies at the "Last Trump".

If you are transformed in the mind here in this carnal body you can allow the Devil to enter in and untransform yourself, returning to your old ways, even to the point of completely rejecting the Holy Spirit and continuing to reject Him for the rest of your life here (the unforgivable sin).

When we are Born again we are given our new immortal spiritual bodies like unto our Lord�s, you cannot be unborn for you have taken on your new immortal body.

Let us look at pure scripture and see what these words "Born again" John 3:3, 5,7, and 1 Peter 1:23 really mean.

Now if you are a woman � you don�t want to be left out, so let us examine the words in order from the original Language. You must not be adament/rigid/fixed/inflexible in your understanding of certain words in your preferred translation or understanding of the Holy Scriptures, without going back to the original languages: without preconceived conceptions and searching out the true interpretations of the original words without bias or prejudice and with the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The original Greek word MAN is τις TIS

It is translated in other passages of Holy Scripture as " A", "A kind of", "Any", "Anything", "One", "Some", "Somebody", "Something", "Somewhat", "Some other", and in Luke 8:46 refers specifically to a Woman.

So at this stage of our study � I hope you can accept that TIS does not only mean man, but also woman and other creatures and creations.

Many theologians declare you must be "born again" here now in this life in order to enter into the kingdom of Heaven � but how did Paul expound these words?

We can and must be transformed, transmuted, converted, altered, recast, called, regenerated and changed by the power of the great Holy Spirit now in this life � in order to be one of the chosen ones, but NOT "Born Again" here in this carnal body, in this physical life.

Paul wrote the following words after He had been struck down and blinded by our Lord Himself on the road to Damascus, then transformed, given his sight back and filled with the Holy Spirit when Ananias laid his hands on him three days later.

These are not the words of a "Born Again" man but one who has been transformed by the renewing of his mind.

So everyone who is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT, and not flesh and blood, so this change CANNOT take place until the resurrection when we are reborn (BORN AGAIN) into our new spirititual bodies.

To be born from above by the Holy Spirit at the last trump for the Elect and some other creatures (the Elect�s beloved pets and other loved creatures?); with later resurrections for other humans and creations.

Up to this point we have mainly studied MAN τις TIS

So let us continue with BORN OF WATER.

Water baptism was not initiated until John the Baptist, so as there will be many who enter the Kingdom of God from early times the Writer cannot see this phrase referring to being immersed in water by some earnest advocate of religion - but believes the question asked by Nicodemus in reply to our Lord�s answer in John 3:3

Dear Reader! Please remember that Jesus called Nicodemus "A master of Israel" in John 3:10. Nicodemus knew all about water baptism for that is one of the reasons he went to see Jesus by night � to ask Him, but it never occurred to Nicodemus that our Lord was talking about being immersed in ordinary water, and our Lord did not enlighten him to that effect, but said:-

Here are some excerpts from different translations.

The GOOD NEWS BIBLE

Dear Reader! Check out these things for yourself and you will find that "Born of water" means natural birth.

BORN OF THE SPIRIT

After my Lord�s resurrection He could walk through doors � John 20:26.

And defy gravity � the "Acts of the Apostles 1:9 ".

He could defy gravity � when He gives you these attributes (and everything else) you know that you are born again by the Holy Spirit at the last Trump.
