John the Baptist never experienced the NewBirth in his lifetime. Those who enter the KingdomOfHeaven have been born of the Word and HolySpirit and have become citizens of heaven. They are seated with Christ in HeavenlyPlaces. John died, went to paradise and received the testimony of Jesus there.<p>The KingdomOfHeaven is motivated by the HolySpirit who issues from the SpiritRealm into the PhysicalRealm.
