A New Beginning
From Author and Pastor Debra Jack, “A New Beginning” is a tool [anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose] for every new believer in Jesus Christ to start developing a strong foundation of Christianity.
Introduction to Discipleship
Discipleship may seem like a complicated word, but it’s really not. Discipleship involves the process of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christand that takes spiritual growth. A disciple is a follower of Christ—one who embraces Jesus as Lord and Savior and His teachings (doctrines).Later, we will look closer at the term disciple. Specific to Christianity, discipleship has a two-fold objective: 1) Become [learn how to be] a “disciple”—a follower of Jesus Christ and His teachings (and what that entails) and then 2) Assist in helping to make disciples of others.
The New Birth
The New Birth—the born-again experience is a necessity to being saved(1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15). Through the born-again experience we come into the right relationship to God. Being born-again is necessary before we can claim any of the benefits of the Bible.
The New Birth is not: confirmation, water baptism, church membership, receiving Communion, observing religious duties, an intellectual reception of Christianity, orthodoxy of faith, going to church, saying prayers, reading the Bible, living a moral life, being cultured or refined, doing good deeds, doing your best or any of the many other things that some are trusting in to save them.

It is easy enough to distinguish between the body and the other two. But is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the spirit and the soul. Nothing but the Bible can do that. Misunderstanding on this subject abounds. Much error has been taught, even from the pulpit. From Rhema
