Romans 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Jesus commanded Paul to be the apostle in this dispensation of grace (Romans 1:1 1 Timothy 1:1 Ephesians 3:2).

Paul preached to all nations. Peter and the disciples were commanded to go to all the nations in Luke 24:47 but, in Galatians 2:9 they abdicated this to Paul.

As seen below obedience to the faith would include obeying doctrine.

Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

The doctrine to be obeyed in this dispensation is found in the epistles of Paul (2 Timothy 1:11).

Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

The mystery given Paul is the gospel that by faith in Christ and his redemption and propitiation for our sins we can be justified freely by grace apart from Israel (Romans 3:21-25) and the formation of one new man, the church, the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27 Ephesians 2:15-16)

Paul preached Jesus according to the mystery and the scriptures of the prophets; the mystery was revealed to him by Christ (Ephesians 3:3). We are to acknowledge the mystery and make all see it in order to be obedient to the faith (Ephesians 3:9).

Outstanding! You get the importance of the "Mystery!" This is precisely what we need to be investigating. I love it.

Don't follow them that gives you baptism of fire, remember in old testament God forbid Moses to take out his sandals meaning was his foot step of his past sin (Exodus 2:11-14) of his life will be burned in this purification flames from guardian of tree of life (Exodus 3:2-5; Matthew 24:26), this fire circumcision was called as purgatory.
That's why God will rise those people who are in the lowest place and thrown down whosoever in the highest places (Luke 1:52-53), because those people in the high place were likely serving two masters both God and Mammon but not all of them. Every people who were in purgatory are vulnerable and could be susceptible bulls eye of the evil one temptation and torture (Exodus 3:7-21).

Thank you for writing, Yan! But I am so sorry . . . I must be having a terrible day, because I don't see what it is that you're seeing in these Scriptures. Again, I am so sorry that I am not understanding you. Keep trying, though. What you believe is important to me, in that I will do my best to understand.

Respectfully,

2TG
