Re: born of water
Here is something more about invoking the name.
When the soldiers came to get Jesus in the Garden, they asked if He was JESUS, and He said "I AM HE." And they fell down. Sort of like Dagon falling down before the Ark.
On time a stoned man walked into our meetings. No small guy, either. I walked down the aisle and said, "In the name of Jesus!" And he fell down. He stood up again and I repeated it, and he fell again.
I prayed for a woman who'd never been in a church meeting before. As I prayed as soon as I invoked the name of Jesus, she crumpled to the floor. It was no show like you see in so many charismatic meetings with the people standing behind to catch those who fall, and saints just falling to look spiritual. She knew nothing of this. And went down when Jesus' name was spoken!
There is power in invoking His name in faith!
