I have been reading several testimonies at www.spiritlessons.com

I recommend the following articles to you. Make known to your Christian Friends as well.

I believe its an awakening for many Believers.

2.Video : - Miracle Jewels and Oil from Heaven to Church



Below is an extract of book 2 - Baptised by Blazing Fire

Jesus gently explained, "Bong Nyu, even though I wanted to help you, it was impossible. Once someone goes to hell, he/she can never leave. It is impossible for me to change that. You can only be saved when you are alive on earth. Once someone dies, there is no chance to repent. It is over. All I can do for you is to cry with you or take you to heaven. Your family members are in hell, I am not able to do anything, it is out of my hand. No one can ever help them." The Lord was very sorry for the situation

Or we could listen to Scripture. Not a big fan of these "revelations" when they don't match up.

I Peter 3:18-20
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

Now I realize these are spirits, but it's proof Christ can and did save them by His own word.

1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1Pe 3:19 By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him.

I like what Jamieson, Fausset & Brown say in their commentary:
"Quickened in Spirit,” that is, immediately on His release from the “flesh,” the energy of His undying spirit-life was “quickened” by God the Father, into new modes of action, namely, “in the Spirit He went down (as subsequently He went up to heaven, 1Pe 3:22, the same Greek verb) and heralded
[not salvation, as Alford, contrary to Scripture, which everywhere represents man’s state, whether saved or lost, after death irreversible. Nor is any mention made of the conversion of the spirits in prison. See on 1Pe 3:20. Nor is the phrase here ‘preached the Gospel’ (evangelizo), but ‘heralded’ (ekeruxe) or ‘preached’; but simply made the announcement of His finished work; so the same Greek in Mar 1:45, ‘publish,’ confirming Enoch and Noah’s testimony, and thereby declaring the virtual condemnation of their unbelief, and the salvation of Noah and believers; a sample of the similar opposite effects of the same work on all unbelievers, and believers, respectively; also a consolation to those whom Peter addresses, in their sufferings at the hands of unbelievers; specially selected for the sake of ‘baptism,’ its ‘antitype’ (1Pe 3:21), which, as a seal, marks believers as separated from the rest of the doomed world]
to the spirits (His Spirit speaking to the spirits) in prison (in Hades or Sheol, awaiting the judgment, 2Pe 2:4), which were of old disobedient when,” etc

Good post Hammer, and here's another scripture that supports your post.
1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Good post Hammer, and here's another scripture that supports your post.
1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
Let's look at the immediate context of 1 Peter 4:6

1 Peter 4:3-6 (KJV)
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.


The gospel was preached to my parents who are now dead. While alive they suffered judgement by unbelievers but lived according to God. Many Christians now dead have been condemned as evil-doers.

The context of 1 Peter 4:6 is explained in this comment:
It is a Christian's duty, not only to keep from gross wickedness, but also from things that lead to sin, or appear evil. The gospel had been preached to those since dead, who by the proud and carnal judgment of wicked men were condemned as evil-doers, some even suffering death. But being quickened to Divine life by the Holy Spirit, they lived to God as his devoted servants. Let not believers care, though the world scorns and reproaches them.—Matthew Henry Concise

People also speak evil of me because, having heard the Gospel and turned from dead works to faith in Jesus Christ, I do not run with them in their pagan, new age, profane and ungodly lifestyles.

Compare 1 Peter 2:3,4,12

That doesn't make sense!

This is just sad, the jewel video is clearly a hoax because anti-christ will be able to perform those exact same misleading miracles that deceive gods children. Matthew 24:24 and 2nd Thessalonians 2:9 is my documentation. Besides that christ even tells us himself that it is easer for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven.

God bless :)

Good post Stumpmaster and TheUnworthyServant ------- I am in your camp; the fire is warm and fellowship leaves a good feeling.

Accepted Christ 05 JAN 1972. Broke ice in N fort of Holston R shortly thereafter and I was baptized. Below is an old AnaBaptist hymn.

Jehovah Tsidkenu – The name of Christ our Lord

"The Lord Our Righteousness"

I once was a stranger to grace and to God,
I knew not my danger, and felt not my load;
Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ on the tree,
Jehovah Tsidkenu was nothing to me.

I oft read with pleasure, to soothe or engage,
Isaiah's wild measure and John's simple page;
But e'en when they pictured the blood-sprinkled tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu seemed nothing to me.

Like tears from the daughters of Zion that roll,
I wept when the waters went over His soul;
Yet thought not that my sins had nailed to the tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu- 'twas nothing to me.

When free grace awoke me, by light from on high,
Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die;
No refuge, no safety in self could I see-
Jehovah Tsidkenu my Savior must be.

My terrors all vanished before the sweet name;
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I came
To drink at the fountain, life-giving and free-
Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me.

Jehovah Tsidkenu! my treasure and boast,"
Jehovah Tsidkenu! I ne'er can be lost;
In thee I shall conquer by flood and by field-
My cable, my anchor, my breastplate and shield!

Even treading the valley, the shadow of death,
This "watchword" shall rally my faltering breath;
For while from life's journey my God sets me free,
Jehovah Tsidkenu my death-song shall be.

This was the song they sunk as many were put to death. Read it without tears......... you can't. My Lord paid it all.

The great orator RG Lee as an old man was asked, "now that you've lived long on the earth, what is the greatest thing you've ever known"

He said, Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.

Jesus Saves; Jesus Saves He alone can atone ---- for the land beyond and the valley between; can you cross over. Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior............ Accept Him, call some Christian, confess and proclaim Jesus as your savior and follow Him in baptism and His ordinances.
