Deborah-Leigh:

For me, The Elect are the Little ones OF Christ. They are HIS Children begotten of HIS Spirit are they not?

Christ is the First Preeminent ONE Son of the Father God. All Christ's Elect who are given to HIM by HIS FATHER and Chosen by Jesus Christ, are little next to HIM. Non are greater than Christ who is preeminent.

Lovely post Kat.

Peace be to you

That is exactly correct, Arcturus.  Those begotten in the Spirit.  There are those inside and outside the churchian system that have been begotten of The Spirit.  These people are evidenced by bearing fruits of the Spirit, as mentioned in Galatians 5.  Obviously, the cheering crowd in my analogy were not "one of these little ones" as characterized by there hatred of "sinners", but the others may have been - we don't know who God is calling and electing, so that is why we need to be careful in painting a broad brush.  There are those who are God's elect still in the churchian system.  I was in the churchian system for 27 years, and I've seen it all - the good, the bad, the ugly, and believe me, the Holy Spirit was there working in peoples lives, despite all the hypocrisy.  Some of those people showed evidence of being begotten by God, others did not.  The mark of a Christain is a changed life and bearing fruit - being an overcomer.  I'm not going to call anybody a "Babylonian hell monger", unless their heart is revealed, like that crowd at the Benny Hinn "Revival".

His Peace,

Joe

Matt:
Amen! 
I have learned a lot the past few days, I am glad that I was able to get in on a good one from the begining.  Because of the time difference, everything is usually finished by the time I wake.

Thanks everyone!

Matt
