Assunto 1: Nascendo de Novo da água e do Espírito

1-7. Romans 8:30 tells us, “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Is this the word on the gradual sanctification?

This is not about gradual sanctification. Many theologians and false preachers have taught, “Those who believe in Jesus will change gradually and become completely sanctified in the flesh and the spirit,” and many have believed it. 
But as a matter of fact, people find themselves becoming more stubborn. And the sin in their hearts grows as they get older. How can our sanctification depend on time? The word ‘gradual sanctification’ is the one that God hates the most and the one the devil loves to use. 
We can only become righteous if we have nothing more to do with sin. Because Jesus washed away all their sins with His baptism and sacrificed Himself to pay for them Himself, we owe our righteousness solely to the baptism and blood of Jesus. We become righteous through belief in the fact that Jesus took all our sins on to Himself. 
The word ‘sanctification’ means ‘to become holy.’ Trying to become sanctified by oneself is not to believe in the truth, but to be persuaded by one’s own weak flesh. 
Gradual sanctification also comes from our own spiritual desire. All religions have a word for sanctification, but we who believe in Jesus should never place importance on the word itself. 
We do not become sanctified gradually by believing in Jesus; we become the righteous once for all by believing in the baptism and blood of Jesus, the gospel of spiritual salvation. The truly righteous are born of the faith in the gospel of the baptism and the blood of Jesus.
