But the Son as the Man Christ Jesus is also God the Son.

So, again, what do you mean by "He was begotten at the resurrection"? Are you saying that He ceased to dwell in human flesh?

I believe in three distinct Persons within the Godhead; neither dividing the substance nor confounding the Persons.

It simply means that Christian doctrine will be being discussed in the non-Christian section of the forums; since my only recourse is to post in those sections and the majority of what I have to say pertains to Christian doctrine. I think that you should also make an exception for those who...

What does it mean that Jesus was "born of" God at the resurrection? Please expound on this idea and include everything that you can think of that describes this notion.

So, when He was born of God the Father, He acquired Sonship, is what you are saying. Clearly, Jesus is the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16); after the Cross, He is the firstbegotten (Hebrews 1:6). You keep contradicting yourself, friend. On the one hand you say that the Son was never...

I am bothered by the contention that I do not accept the Trinity and the Nicene creed. I do accept the Trinity (I believe that there are three distinct Persons within the Godhead)... I just don't accept a few of the tenets (that I find to be unbiblical) that are laid out in the Nicene creed...

It may be that the following: 1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. is John using hyperbole (exaggeration to make a point). If so, what point is he trying to make? It is that when we come to Christ...

However, I would suggest that you read and heed Hebrews 3:7-8, 3:15, and 4:7.

And again, you are ignoring the scripture involved. Act 2:40, And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Although, in this scripture, you are commanded to save yourselves, it does not mean that Jesus isn't the Saviour or that we...

Compare it to Acts 2:38 and you find that it refers to the baptismal formula in that verse. If you understand that baptism has the power to save (1 Peter 3:20-21, Ezekiel 36:25-27, Romans 6:3-5, Colossians 2:12, Luke 7:29-30, etc.), then you should understand from Acts 4:10-12 that it is only...

So, in baptizing them in Jesus' Name, was he being obedient or disobedient?

Since Jesus shed His blood for me I would say that Jesus is the Saviour. However, I must appropriate that blood through faith. Romans 5:2 says that we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. Clearly, in Hosea 14:2, Romans 10:9-13, and in Acts 2:38-39, there is something for us...

No, it is not heresy; but you judged it to be heresy without even looking up the Bible verse. Here it is. Act 2:40, And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Here, you are speaking of the inability of the non-believer to receive Christ on His own. I do not dispute that. But I say that this inability is overcome when the Father draws a man to Christ (John 6:44); Not to the extent that He cannot but come to Christ; But to the extent that He becomes...

Eph 5:14, Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. I believe that this verse suffices; since the fact that God gives a command means that the person is able to obey the command. If they were not able to obey it before, then they...

So, you appear to be believing that there are two Persons that can be identified as "the Son".

What does it mean that Jesus was begotten in the resurrection, if it does not mean that He became the Son of God? Does not "begotten" mean "born of"? If He is born of the Father does that not make Him the Son?

Rom 1:3, Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
