Subject 1: Being born again of water and the Spirit

Why did the Son of God become a man?
Who Is Jesus?
What are the Laws established by God?
Do we have to believe in Jesus?
Can we Christians still be sinners?
Can prayers of repentance wash our sins away?
Romans 8:30 states, "Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified." Then, does this passage support the doctrine of incremental sanctification?
Can confessing our sins make them disappear?
What is the true gospel?
Why did Jesus sacrifice Himself on the Cross?
Who is John the Baptist who baptized Jesus?
What was the sacrifice of atonement for daily sins in the Old Testament?

What was the sacrifice for permanent atonement?
Is the remission of sins given all at once or gradually?
What is the wages of sin?

Why do we have to believe in Jesus?

Who is a heretic in the Bible?
Can you tell me what you teach about the relationship of our baptism to the baptism, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
How can I say I'm righteous when I am sinning everyday?
What is the baptism of repentance by John?
Don't you think that understanding the baptism of Jesus as the must for salvation would nullify His death on the Cross in the gospel?
Could you give me a belief explanation of the Gospel of water and the Spirit?
What scriptures give you evidence that "the Apostles laid great emphasis on the Baptism of Jesus?"
It is what I already believe and teach unless you are simply adding emphasis to the often-ignored baptism of Jesus. What then is so different about the gospel of the water and the Spirit?
Should I believe in His baptism along with His cross to be saved?
If your understanding of "water and the Spirit" were correct, then salvation would not have been possible for the thief on the cross. If the thief on the Cross were considered an exception to the rule, then God would not be just, because He broke His own rule for entrance into the Kingdom. How can you explain the salvation of the thief on the cross?
Since God is gracious and compassionate, wouldn't He consider us righteous although we have sin in our hearts if we believe in Jesus?
If we say that Jesus has already eliminated our sins of the past, the present and the future according to your assertion, how would the future of a person turn out if he continuously commits sin just thinking about the fact that he has already gotten his sins pardoned by believing in Jesus' baptism and the Cross?

Subject 2: The Holy Spirit

Is it really true that the Holy Spirit dwells within us only when we confess our actual sins and forgiven for them every time we sin?
Does the Holy Spirit dwell within a born again person all of the time if he or she believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, or does the Holy Spirit hover around them and come into them whenever they asks for help?
Does the Holy Spirit really come upon a person only if he is born again of water and the Spirit?
What is the difference between the Holy Spirit that strongly worked at the time of the early church and the One who performs miracles today? Is not God always the same yesterday, today and forever?
What does the Holy Spirit do at this time?
Isn't speaking in tongues proof of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Otherwise how can we know if He dwells in us?
Did Jesus' disciples receive the Holy Spirit by being delivered from their sins through the forgiveness of sin, or was it a separate experience without regard to the forgiveness of sin?
What does it mean to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
How does the Holy Spirit appear differently in the Old and New Testaments?
Can supernatural experience like healings and visions be the definite proof that one received the Holy Spirit?

Subject 3: Revelation

Is the number 144,000 in chapter 7 literally the number of the people of Israel who would be saved, or is it just a symbolic figure?
Who are the two witnesses that appear in chapter 11?
Who is the woman in chapter 12?
What is Babylon?
When will the Millennial Kingdom begin? (Is it pre-tribulation or post-tribulation Kingdom?)
What is the City of New Jerusalem?
What is the mark of the Beast?
Who or what are the four living creatures standing before the throne of God?
Which one is right: pre-tribulation rapture, or post-tribulation rapture? Would the saints still be on this earth during the Great Tribulation?
When you say that the rapture of the saints would come after the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, are you not contradicting what the Lord said, that no one knows the day and hour of the rapture, not even the Lord Himself?
You say that Jesus would return to rapture the saints, and that He would descend on this earth to wage the war of Armageddon as well. Are you then saying that the Lord would descend on this earth twice? What's the difference between these two?
Does the "great multitude which no one could number (Revelation 7:9)" refer to the raptured saints?
The two witnesses are resurrected and lifted up to heaven after completing their testimony. How is this different from the rapture of the saints with the second coming of Christ?
I believe that the saints would be raptured before the Great Tribulation. But the Bible makes frequent references to the saints who still remain on this earth during the time of the Great Tribulation. Are they the ones who compromised with the world, and whose faith turned lukewarm as a result?

Subject 4: FAQ from the Readers of Our Books

You wrote in your book that we could receive the remission of sin once and for all by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His bloodshed on the Cross. Then, how do you interpret the passage, "Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" in the Lord's Prayer?
You wrote, "We can become perfectly sinless when we believe the gospel of the water and the Spirit in our heart." But, the Bible says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us" (1 John 1:8-10).

How do you interpret this passage? Doesn't this passage mean that we are sinners until we die, and we should give the prayers of repentance to be forgiven of our sins everyday?
You assert that the baptism means "to pass the sins." Is there any biblical basis for that?
You said, Jesus really took all the sins of the world when He was baptized by John.

Then, it means that He became a sinner all the while during His public life, doesn't it?
Does one who is saved, is saved forever?
I know through your teachings that the baptism of Jesus is indispensable to our salvation. Then, how about the water baptism of the believers? Is it also a must to every saint? And furthermore, I have no idea whether there is any born-again minister, in my neighborhood, who can baptize me.
You use the unique terminology "the gospel of the water and the Spirit," which I have never heard before. From where did the phrase "the gospel of the water and the Spirit" come?
Does hell really exist?
Would you please interpret the first part of Hebrews chapter 6?
What dose it mean "if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth"? (Hebrews 10:26)
Don't you think it could make someone leave a carefree life and continue to live in sin because Jesus has already paid for it, the present, past and even the future sin?
How do you think of today's Christian miracles? Are they not the works of the Spirit? I think the Holy Spirit still works in God's church.
