Rom 8:14Â Â For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The Bible says that if you are led by God's Spirit you are a "son of God".
It also says that if you are not, then you do not belong to Him.
Rom 8:9Â Â But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
If you are a "son of God" then you are a child of Abraham, an heir, of the Kingdom
Gal 3:.26
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave* nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.29And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
If you are Abrahams offspring you are spiritual Israel.
Agreed?

All agreed?
All of Jesus' apostles were disciples, correct?
Not all of Jesus' disciples were apostles, correct?

Hi gogh.
Sometimes you are to criptic for me, my friend.:confused::questioning:
You'll have to explain it for me!
Thick noggin I geuss.
Let me say this:
Sin separates God and man. God wanted to indwell man, and have a Father/son relationship with us. Because of Adams sin God, because of His own standard, could not indwell us in a Father/son relationship manner.
AFTER Jesus accended and sprinkeled His blood on the alter in heaven, the atonement for sin was completed, making a legal way for God to indwell men. This happened at Pentecost, and has been going on since. No one was adopted as God's children BEFORE pentecost, for the sacrifice had not been completed until then.
After Petecost, all of the OT saint that had faith, were then justified, as Sons, although they were never indwelt by the H.S., in the same way Christians are since that time, while they were living, they now enjoy "sonship", as we do.
Judas was never an adopted son, for he died before pentecost, and never had a saving faith.
BTW, I love VVG. Probably my favorite painter.
It might take awhile to decipher it myself. :hyper: (does sound intriguing, though,eh?) :coolmusic:

All agreed iknowhim. If we are calling ourselves Christians, we better know we are God's children.
The apostle John says it this way:
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
