water/spirit doctrine inconsistencies?
Isn't it true that the water/spirit new birth doctrine teaches the following inconsistencies?
Of the man who is born of water yet not born of the Spirit:
1. He is risen with Christ without having received the Spirit of Life.
2. He is justified of all things yet remains condemned until he speaks with tongues.
Of the man who is born of the Spirit yet not born of water:
1. He is in possession of the Spirit by which he cries Abba, Father yet he is not a child of God. Born of the Spirit of God yet not a child of God.
2. He possesses the Spirit of Life yet remains spiritually dead in unremitted sin until water baptized. Spiritually united with God while at the same time retaining the cause of spiritual separation from God.
Can these theological inconsistencies be reconciled?
