There are phases in life including becoming a Child of God. John 3:16 reveals the Phases clearly. Phase 1 is the Sinful one, where one needs a Saviour and this is defined by WHOSOEVER in John 3:16. This Phase can also be called the Dark ๐ Phase where everything and everyone dwells in DARKNESS. Phase II is the believing stage where one hears the Word of Truth and confesses Jesus as his/her Saviour. This Phase is indicated in John 3:16 in the expression 'believes in Him(Jesus)'. Phase III is where one becomes a child of God by having eternal life. This is the Phase of Light. It's to be noted that all the LETTERED people (LGBQT.....) are at Phase I. So no one can believe in Christ and still be LETTERED. Immediately, you get to Phase II, you give off the old life and get to Phase III where you are NUMBERED (not LETTERED) as a child of God. Be blessed inspired by the Holy Spirit (not the unholy spirit that dwells in the unsaved including the lettered -LGBTQ....)
