I wish to speak to you my personal experiences about being born again. Are you born again? I didn’t ask if you are engaged in Christian ministry, attend church, give tithes, support missions, confess the Apostles’ Creed, believe the bible is inspired. Many Christians meet these conditions yet are not born again. They are like Cornelius. In Acts 10 Cornelius, a Centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. Cornelius was a rich man and He and all his family were devoult and God-fearing, he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly but one day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it , Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. Now sent men to Joppa to bring a man named Simon who is called Peter. The Lord wanted Cornelius to hear the good news of the beautiful gospel of the water and the spirit and be baptized. “So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (verse 48)
Brethren, its time to stop pleading with God to be served. You can only be served and receive forgiveness from sins once and for all through believing in the gospel of the water and the spirit. Giving gift to those in need, engaged in a Christian ministry, attend church, support missions and praying regularly will not serve you unless one is born again with water and the spirit. The bible says, “Unless one is born again of water and the spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God” (John 3:15) Many people, like Cornelius are surely not familiar with this gospel of the water and the spirit. Many argue that belonging to a Christian Ministry will serve them and that each individual should determine for themselves what God intends for him or her. This would indicate that we each have a separate set of Biblical rules to live by. This is untrue. Dear readers I eagerly desire that all of you come to believe in the gospel of Jesus baptism and the cross in order to be served from sin. To be born again of water and the spirit is the only way we can enter the eternal Kingdom of God. The “water” in the bible refers to the “baptism of Jesus Christ” Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist by means of “the laying of hands.”(Leviticus 16 :21) It was “one Man’s righteous act.” ( Romans 5:18) which took away the sins of humankind. With all the sins of humankind on his shoulders, Jesus Christ walked toward the cross. He took the Judgement for all the sins He had taken on Himself through His baptism. Therefore without having the faith in the baptism of Jesus Christ, we cannot be served. That is why the Apostle Paul declared the water, which means the baptism of Jesus Christ to be an antitype which now saves us (1 Peter 3:21)
It was only after reading Reverend Paul C. Jong’s first book in the series entitlled “Have You Truly Been born Again Of Water And The
Spirit” that I became a Co-Worker of the New Life Mission helping preaching the gospel of the water and the spirit to others. After reading this book, I became conscious about other conflicting, contradictory and unintergrated gospel from other preachers who claims to preach the same gospel while distorting the true nature of reality. In this way such preachers, provides false hope and diverted attention from the real gospel which gives people true salvation and eternal bliss. Such preachers are trying their efforts to make the gospel of the water and spirit to loose its significance to one’s life, but however such efforts are an illusion. The truth has been revealed by a servant of God Pastor C. Jong.
I was a confirmed wanderer, not knowing my destination and the purpose of my life, once again thanks to the man of God who preaches the true gospel, such wonderfull message has made me to be saved from burdensome problems of sin. I am now confident that I am a new creation without sins because Jesus Christ who has come by the gospel of the water and the spirit has eradicated all my sins, once and for all. Brothers and sisters in Christ, let me take this opportunity to remind you that men came to earth not merely to have a good time, or to satisfy urges or passions or desires……..and have what the world calls “fun”.We are sent to this earth for a reason, but many allowed themselves to be diverted and became …….addicts to mental and spiritual indolence and the pursuit of wordly pleasure. Satan wants us to believe the lie that no amount of repentance would save our soul, and that other people are always the problem. But I promise you, your way to a better life, comes from the true gospel of the water and the spirit. I am determined that there is no sin in the world, but it is in one’s heart. It is not too late for you to repent.
YOURS BROTHER IN CHRIST
