BORN AGAIN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

John 3:3-6
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

22 "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins."
Eph 5:11-17
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light."
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
1 Pet 5:10-11
10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 Cor 15:1-3
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-- unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Rom 6:8-10
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
2 Cor 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Heb 5:12-14
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Heb 5:8-9
8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
John 16:21-22
21 "A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
22 "Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
Matt 8:11-12
11 "And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 "But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
James 1:22-25
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

xxxTo crucify the flesh(emotions & feelings) is to resist until they leave you. Some you might have to resist for awhile, but others could take a few years.And you do it with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. The outer person consists of your feelings and emotions(unclean spirits). The inner man consists of affections from your soul. Your inner man is your spirit and soul. Your spirit is the mind of your inner man, your soul is the body of your inner man where your affections are. When you replace the emotions and feelings with the Word of God. Then the Word becomes the controller of the flesh.

1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest," although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";
5 and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,
7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

"Pole-sitter" - Stylite - a type of Christian ascetic who live on pillars, preaching, fasting and praying. Stylites believe that the mortification of their flesh would help ensure the salvation of their souls.
Stylites were common in the early days of the Byzantine Empire. The first known stylite was Simeon Stylites the Elder who climbed a pillar in Syria in 423 and remained there until his death 37 years later.

I read part of it but lost interest. What was your point in posting this?

Anyone who is born again has to demonstrate the Spirit. No one can demonstrate the Spirit until they belong to Christ. No one belongs to Christ UNTIL they have crucified all their emotions.

Gal 5:24-25
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

To be born again one must crucify all their emotions.

I read through every single one of that extremely long and unrelenting 4 consecutive posts of scriptures just to be certain. And in NONE of them say you have to crucify your EMOTIONS! Having emotions is part of what makes us human! We are made in the image of GOD and just as GOD has shown emotion through the OT and NT, we also are equipped with incredibly beautiful ability to FEEL and have emotions. God shows all kinds of emotions in scripture, Jesus also showed many emotions including sadness, worry and lament. Having emotions is a gift it gives us empathy for others to help them burden their pain. We have joy and joy is am emotion. We feel sadness just as Jesus did and just as Ecclesiastes tells us there is a time for joy and a time for sadness there is a time for everyrhing under the sun.
You have mistaken the word "flesh" for emotions which is incorrect. the word "flex" in the Bible comes from the Greek word "sarx." sarx has many meanings but none are emotions. Emotions are a gift and they are to be celebrated.
I agree we are to crucify certain feelings like anger but remember that nothing ends at crucifixion. Just as Jesus was crucified He was also risen from the dead. He was resurrected. this is the central focus of the reason we have faith in Christ! Everyone dies but only Jesus had the ability to lay down His life AND take it up again. We do not leave anything crucified. The things of the flesh we crucify also must be raised to a new life in a new world order in a new creation. So we crucify feelings of anger and ask God to bring to life empty and patience. We crucify our own desires after earthly this gs and God will raise to life desires and feelings that move us to desire the things that please God. Jesus changed everything and all who die to themselves and want to will be raised in Jesus and be a new creation both on this earth in this life and in the life to come!
But as I have demonstrated above, we are not to crucify all our emotions. The Bible never says that emotions are bad in any way. Only when they are emotions that harm us or others are they to be crucified and replaced with emotions and feelings that bring glory to GOD and love to all.

Your problem is obvious. You don't know the difference between emotions and affections. I have posted revelations on both. You really need to read them. Because you are now justifying sin.

Matt 12:34-37
34 "Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
(NKJ)

How am I justifying sin!? having emotions is not a sin! Jesus and God both had emotions and we are made in His image. The Bible says angels will sing with joy! Joy is an emotion. So how is being joyful sinning? I think that you may be mis-definong "emotion". There is absolutely nothing g wrong with having emotions in face they are what makes us human and enjoy life and weep with sadness. There is no sin in sadness even. We just bring it to God and to others to help bear it. Maybe you are talking about something other than emotion and calling it emotion. But if you are going to make broad sweeping statements like "you must get rid of all emotion" then you should probably define what you mean by emotion or else you may lead people astray by making them think there is something sinful about being happy or sad. So if you are going to use the word emotion to mean something other than what the English dictionary (which is the language we are speaking) then make sure you define what you mean by emotion or else you may lead new Christians astray and be responsible for their turning away from God because it's your words that led them there

I posted the revelations on emotions and affections for you to read. Emotions are unclean spirits. Affections are what your calling emotions.

35 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
