I don't see the point in your questions, so I did not take the time to answer them. I wrote what I thought was more relevant to conveying an understanding to you of my perspective of spiritual growth. I have no interest in comparing believers with me or with one another. The Scriptures say that this is not wise. John wrote: > (2) how is it that you are like Jesus at [His] > age 5? How is this possible with the Holy > Spirit teaching you propose.

When we are born again, we are not born at full maturity. Just like in the physical, we are born a baby, and then we learn and grow, so it is when we are born from above. We are spiritual infants at first, and we grow. This is the way that God does it. It does no good to try and argue why it is not done some other way. We can no more change God's order in this than we can have a child who is full grown at birth and skips childhood completely. Peace be with you.
