5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

So, if we take the example of Jesus appearing, if that is true, then it's just a matter of bringing the information into existence. That I have no idea directly how to do such, and is out of my realm of understanding.

But the baptisms that Jesus spoke of (water & fire) are supposed to happen to the followers while still in their earthly bodies.

Theres so much to your theory that just doesn't make sense.
Theres a book by F.J. Sheed titled Theology for beginners.
I think this would be a good place for you to start. Good luck

Another thing you forgot to mention,Queen, is "They did not recognize him." I have always found this rather bizarre. It implies to me that we look completely different in the spirit than we do in the physical.
i appreciate the information and the help but i really have never had any interest in studying GOD - talking with GOD is so much more educational - as well as FUN
The glorified body, the resurrected body, is NOT the same body, transformed; but rather a new body created from the elements of fire (Father GOD) and water (Mother GOD).
The holographic blueprint is determined by DNA, which is not only physical but ethereal, too. The means of connecting the material with the immaterial is through the chakra system which is the axis of the body, on all levels, such as the subtle body, etc. When the soul is within the realm of the Earth, its manifestations are naturally created from Earthly elements. When the soul is sojourning on Venus, for example, manifestation is determined by Venusian chemistry, and so forth. In other words, the recipe remains the same but the ingredients are adjusted according to the environment! Information is never lost, not even in a black hole. It is merely translated according to the environment with which it is interacting all throughout timespace.
Your soul is information.
It is uniquely yours and no one else's, just like your fingerprints!

I'm starting to suspect that Jesus is more special than I thought before. I always thought of us Earth creatures as appropriate to this planet only. If Jesus is universal and planetary, there may be some truth in the universal Christ idea after all. That's something to think about!

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12

It's still a process of learning, and I don't want to believe something before I believe it, if that makes any sense.

A well known and much maligned figure in history presented it well as an internal struggle between wanting to be away from the body and with the Lord or remain and fight on behalf of others. I don't know how many people even recognize this kind of struggle or the extent of the personal cost entailed.
To be or not to be, to fight or not to fight, that is the question.
