My review of Rev. Paul C. Jong’s “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” (Book 1 in the series):
In an era where Christianity has degenerated into mere religion, this book preaches the gospel of water (Jesus’ baptism) and the Spirit as believed and proclaimed by the apostles and disciples of Jesus in the early church.
Just as a sacrifice without laying on of hands was invalid in the Old Testament, believing only in the blood of Jesus on the cross without His baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River as the Lamb of God who came in the New Testament is unlawful and an incomplete faith. Therefore, this book demands genuine faith in Jesus Christ, who is fundamentally God, who came in human flesh and saves everyone through His water baptism, the blood He shed on the cross, and the Spirit.
What sin is and the purpose of the Law.
The book begins by stating that all humans are born sinners destined for hell, with sin in their hearts from conception as descendants of Adam and Eve, even if they haven’t committed a single act of sin. It defines what sin is and the purpose of the Law. Furthermore, the book considers humans to be children of sinners because fundamentally we are born with sin in our hearts; as a result, it is these sins from within our hearts that defile us and those around us.
In this book ‘Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?’, the author Rev. Jong concludes by reminding us that with Jesus our Messiah, that is, our ‘true Savior,’ we are no longer in sin because of our weaknesses committed after being saved, and we should not be deceived by the Devil (John 13).
Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” <John 13:10>
The Original Gospel that the Apostles of the Early Church Believed In
Jesus received baptism (laying on of hands) and died shedding His blood on the cross to eliminate all the sins of us sinners.
I pray that you too will come to know and believe in this original gospel of water and blood that the apostles of the early church believed in, and be born again as sinless children of God.
