Interesting question Dessa.
Dessa
--- Quote ---Has the Holy Spirit led anyone to desire knowledge about how to talk to children about the truths we now know?
--- End quote ---
Alex, and I hope he is not in the Southern California fires....wrote a very insightful reminder about not having to defend the Truth with the sword by cutting of anyone's ears.
I believe we have to become His Word and Image in our daily interactions with the Word, We are called to obey and how this impacts on us is via self judgment. Through discernment of our own inner weaknesses failures and liabilities by contrast with Christs selfless strength, success and holiness, we might then be used to influence others in what we know through experience. It is however the Spirit of Christ that selects or does the choosing to touch and influence those around us or those who simply may only once cross our paths in life.
II am not talking AT you but simply sharing what I believe you already know. :)
Peace to you

Hello Dessa,
Yes as a matter of fact, My own children , As should we all teach these truths, to our children.
If anyone asks, i would tell of these truths, if it comes up in conversation then yes...But i am no teacher, and have no platform other than what is provided to me.
Peace
Chris R

Which is it for the Elect? Which, for the rest of humanity?
Physical birth > Spiritual Death > Physical death > Spiritual birth
Physical birth > Physical Death > Spiritual (second death) > Spiritual birth
First, the Physical, then the Spiritual?
"You must die before you are born in the Spirit" in either sequence. And, when we die to self "we are not the same person."
All in due time and order!

DuluthGA:
Just to follow up on my post from last night, here's Ray from LOF 16-D-4 Gehenna Fire Judgement:
REBIRTH/BORN AGAIN: "...that which is conceived [Gk: gennao] in her is of the Holy Spirit... Now when Jesus was born [Gk: gennao] in Bethlehem..." (Matt. 1:20 & 2:1). Notice that words "conceived" and "born" are both translated from the same one Greek word gennao. So what are we to do with this verse: "Except a man be born [Gk: gennao] again he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). Should this verse read: "born again," or "begotten anew?" I once believed this verse should be "begotten" rather than "born," seeing that no one is literally "born" again in this life, but I now believe that context forbids this translation. But how can Believers be literally born again in this life based on the context of Jesus' statement:
"That which is born of the flesh [that's all of us] IS FLESH [that too is all of us] and that which is born of the Spirit [are we now born of the Spirit? NO, and here's why...] ...that which is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT" (John 3:6). Is anyone human flesh and at the same time SPIRIT? No, I think not. Jesus adds more proof of what it is like to be "born of the Spirit" - "The wind [Gk: pneuma-'spirit'] blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence it comes, or whether it goes: so is everyone that is BORN of the Spirit" (Verse 8 ). Right there are three reasons why no one except Jesus has been born of the Spirit: [1] We are not composed of spirit, [2] We are not powerful like the wind, [3] Neither are we invisible like the wind.
And so, we as Believers as "conceived" by the Spirit of God and have the "earnest" of His Spirit (Eph. 1:14), but we will not be born again (or anew) until we are resurrected with "incorruptible, glorified, powerful, SPIRITUAL bodies" - like the WIND (I Cor. 15:42-44).

A valuable contribution Janice. Thank you!
Jer I believe that conception too is a process and not an eleven second sinners prayer. So if we ARE concieved by the Spirit then we will be raised into life with Christ. If we reject, refuse, grieve and resist the Holy Spirit then we will be resurrected to judgment.
Peace to you
