Glory to God!!! All those things happen to a person when they recieve Christ as Savior by faith they become born again... at the spiritual birth! And yet some teach that one who has been saved can be lost therefore lose what God has promised. By analogy with the human race, this is impossible. A person cannot become unborn physically nor can he become unborn spiritually. No provision is given in the Word of God for one to become unborn. "That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is spirit (John 3:6)."One only becomes born-again once. Nowhere does does the Bible say that you become born-again, then unborn, then born-again again, then unborn, and so on.That's Completely foolish.... Once you trust Christ and are born-again all those blessings are poured out into your life from that point on; If you could be unborn-again, all would have to be made void, but all of the above list are eternal they already took place!
Jesus promised the believer, "...I will in no wise cast you out (John 6:37)." Also, Jesus said of those that are saved, "...I should lose nothing, but should raise it (them) up again at the last day (John 6:39)." Jesus promised that he would never lose a person who was saved.
If one person were ever lost after having been born-again, then Jesus would be a liar. People, that can never happen........... ''in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago- Titus 1:2
The only way that God does anything for man is the gift of His Own Son. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE (John 3:16)." Not life until you sin, not life for 10 years then it stops but Eternal!!
