Question

When you use the expression that if we do not believe the Word, we will be eternally separated from Christ, do you mean the foolish virgin will live eternally, but they will be separated from the New Jerusalem where Christ will dwell with the Bride? Here are those who do not have the Holy Spirit, born again as the Scripture speaks of being born again. If the natural birth requires water, blood, and spirit, does not the spiritual birth require all three stages of grace before the person is truly born again?

Answer

Absolutely, I just explained that this morning, the same, on the same thing. You’ve got to have all stages. You’re begotten of the Spirit, just like a baby is begotten, and in the womb of a mother, but not born until they receive the Holy Ghost. That’s right. You’re born then. You’re not converted, you’re in the procession of being converted until that time.

That’s the reason that all these great mysteries could not be given to Luther, could not be given to Wesley, could not be given to the age that has just passed by us, the Pentecostal age. Why? It wasn’t time. They were begotten. Now, the Person of Christ, Himself, the Son of man (you understand?) revealing Himself in human flesh, it could not have come till now.
