CONVERSION vs. REGENERATION

What's the difference? Well, for one thing, you can't have Regeneration without
Conversion.  But make no mistake, Conversion is NOT Regeneration !  The
"Modern" church would have their parishioners believe otherwise. This is a DEADLY
DECEPTION !  Conversion is just the FIRST STEP towards Regeneration. And it is
Regeneration that CHRIST wants of us. Our "sinful" nature ( our inner heart ) must
die so CHRIST can replace it with HIS OWN.  We must "die" to the World and all that is in it in order to Receive a Regenerated Heart.  The New Heart HE DIED FOR.
Our Human Hearts we were born with are NOT CAPABLE of receiving the NEW
HEART CHRIST wants to give us. It is too wicked.  We must allow the HOLY SPIRIT
to lead us down the STRAIT and NARROW WAY that ends in the "death" of our
wicked Heart so that our NEW HEART can understand CHRIST'S AGAPE LOVE
and be able to AGAPE LOVE HIM BACK .  Once this happens, and CHRIST comes
to you with your NEW HEART PERSONALLY.....then you are Regenerated !  You then become a SON of GOD, co-heir to HIS THRONE.  Now some will say, and
probably angrily, "that is works for Salvation" but it isn't.  It's actually the LACK of
WORKS because you couldn't do yourself even if you wanted to. ( a lot of misguided folks think they could do it themselves, but ONLY the HOLY SPIRIT can
take you on the personal path GOD has chosen for you.)  You walk this path by
LISTENING to the VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT and doing what HE TELLS YOU.
There is NO OTHER WAY !   It's HIS WAY or it's the BROAD ROAD TO DESTRUCTION....the Scripture is CLEAR on this. HIS VOICE, that I have been
advocating on so many of my previous Posts is your necessary GUIDE to the "death" of the "old you" and your FAITHFUL COMPANION on your Journey.  HE
will see to it that you arrive Safely, if you stay the course.  It will NOT BE EASY !
It is the FIREY TRIALS spoken of as the other part of your BAPTISM... The Modern
Church is preaching a feel good, all joy and happiness Gospel that is a half-truth and therefore a DECEPTION.  "Just ask JESUS to come into your Heart and HE
will and you're going to Heaven"  That's a partial truth which makes it a LIE !
We were warned in Scripture about satan's deceptions and this is his finest work.
He's got millions and millions believing this. Those preaching this LIE will be under
GOD'S harshest Judgement. They are "bastard sons" claiming Regeneration for
all who follow and accept their lies as truth.  Don't fall for this. Go back to your Bible and ask the HOLY SPIRIT to open your eyes and Heart to what is actually written
there. Be a GOOD BEREAN. Study HIS WORD, and IF YOU ARE SINCERE, the
HOLY SPIRIT will give you understanding no matter which translation you use. Folks
fight over the different Bibles because they are using their own intellect as their
guide and don't have the HOLY SPIRIT to give them the ACTUAL MEANINGS of the
printed Word.  There are those who understand what it really means to be
Regenerated and have written helpful and convincing Books on the Subject.
Stewart Best's "DARKLIGHT" and Dr. Herbert Lockyer's "ALL THE DOCTRINES OF
THE BIBLE" are two of the very best and if you read them through you will be
convinced in the Spirit, of the TRUTH of the necessity of REGENERATION in order to
Be Granted the GIFT of SALVATION......There is only Martyrdom as an alternative !  And
none of us want that when JESUS has given us THE WAY.  THE ONLY WAY !   The
STRAIT AND NARROW WAY........and "FEW" there be that FIND IT ! ! !
          PLEASE, PLEASE, LOOK INTO THIS......your ETERNAL DESTINY IS AT STAKE !

A Personal Testimony:  I had been a "winner" all my life. Full scholarship, Pro Athlete(2)
                                      Sports, signed many autographs, Rich and Famous. It wasn't
                                      until I became a loser and brought low, that I became a WINNER
                                      in JESUS CHRIST.  HE came to me at the BOTTOM of my life and
                                      showed HIMSELF to me and we fell in LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
                                       I thought I was "saved" before, (raised a Baptist) but boy was I
                                       wrong. He showed me just how wrong.  Wow! I fell on my face
                                       and asked HIM to COMPLETELY take over my life. I thought HE'D
                                       restore me to my former status.....HE DIDN'T !  HE brought me
                                       Lower and Kept me there for 14 yrs. (I'm still there) but HE gave
                                       me a smidgen of HIS AGAPE LOVE as a sign of HIS FAITHFUL
                                       COMPANIONSHIP......and it sustains me till HE COMES.....
