You spoke of a natural birth and worldly wisdom, but we do not speak of a natural birth but a spiritual birth and the day the believers started their journey of Repentance. There is a 'natural' body and a 'spiritual' body ( 1 Cor. 15:44). The Word of God is spiritually discerned, which the natural man (like yourself) is unable to understand ( 1 Cor. 2:14).

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

In His Service.

We are back to a spiritual birth in the back of a truck at a produce dock in San Francisco, CA. where a new man drove that truck away completely covered by the blood of Christ and in complete peace from the Holy Ghost just like many, many souls that were persecuted by the Roman Church for the same faith.

My confession of faith on Repentance is the same as written here:

"We believe in a true conversion, justification and new birth. In a true conversion there is sincere sorrow for sin and transgression, and condemnation thereof. The justification is obtained through conversion when believing upon the wrought- righteousness of Christ, becoming liberated from the debt of sin and judgement, whereby we are "born again" and renewed unto the image and nature of God through the renewing of the Holy Ghost."

Luke 24:27 ; John 1:28 ; John 3:3 ; Acts 20:28 ; Romans 1:27 ; Romans 5:1 ; Galatians 3:26

This can only be received by faith, this confession of faith is the confession of faith of God's True Church today, though it is recorded, it is not a book with aging papers, it is in the hearts of born again believers that answered the call: "Come".

There are members of this same True Church in Nova Scotia!
