Born of God: An Overview

​Thoughts on Davidic Kingship.

Last week we reviewed the workings of the Spirit to guide us to all truth,  this week we will move onto our next section in becoming Sanctified - being Born of God. There are three primary topics we will consider in becoming Born of God: First, the Baptism of Fire; Second, the Baptism of the Spirit; and Third, the Promise of the Spirit.

The Process of Perfection
Our Process of Perfection looks like this:

                                                                     Individual Salvation
                                                                             Born Again
​                                                       (Redemption / Sanctification)
          Born of the Blood / Born of the Water > Keeps the Commandments > Born of God/Spirit

                                                                       Married Exaltation
                                                                     Going Onto Perfection
                           Becoming Perfect > Reaches the Full Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son

Born of God
Though some might consider being Born of God and Born Again refer to the same condition, here Born of God means that being Born Again has reached a state of completion, - having met all of the conditions of being Sanctified, a new creation of the Holy Spirit and the assurance that covenants are permanent.​

Born of God

The Baptism of Fire (Test of Loyalty/Trial of Faith)

The Baptism of the Spirit (Spirit Purges the Carnal Nature)

The Promise/Sealed by the Holy Spirit (Covenants of Sanctification are made Permanent and Unconditional)​

​Conditional  to  Unconditional
In a previous post under being Born of the Water, we introduced the concept of entering into a temporary and conditional covenant with God until we proved our diligence, loyalty and dedication to God.  Once we have proven ourselves and are Born of God, our covenants with God  become permanent and unconditional.​

Jacob/Israel  to  Zion/Jerusalem
Another concept we see by becoming Born of God is that we have ascended to a new category of blessedness set out in Isaiah's Hebrew Gospel.  Believers in the God of Israel - those whom Isaiah calls Jacob/Israel - who become Born of God now Isaiah calls Zion/Jerusalem.​

"People who repent of transgression and keep the law and word of Israel’s God—the terms of his covenant— and prove loyal through the time of testing qualify to ascend spiritually from the Jacob/Israel category to Zion/Jerusalem." Avraham Gileadi, PhD​

Realms of Heaven
Also in another post, we saw that Heaven is comprised of three realms - the Spirit, the Son and the Father, which correlate to the Apostle Paul's three heavens - 2 Cor. 12:2.  Those who become fully Born of God are Sanctified and inherit the Realm of the Son.
