Dear bdavidc, You said: The idea of needing both the “Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit” as some kind of two-stage spiritual awakening or requirement for understanding God’s Word is completely unfounded in Scripture. This interpretation is not only unbiblical—it’s dangerously misleading. The...

Dear bdavidc, Yes, the faith of babes will justify and sanctified them but they are not converted. If they were converted, they would never be deceived by Satan and fall from grace. After a believer is converted, their salvation is secure. Joe

Dear bdavidc, A person becomes a babe in Christ when they are given the Early Rain of the Spirit but it does not convert them. Peter was a believer and was justified by his faith when he walked with Christ but he was not converted until the Day of Pentecost: Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for...

Dear bdavidc, You said: I want to gently clarify that Scripture doesn't support the idea of "unconverted believers." According to the New Testament, all true believers in Christ are born again, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and have been converted (John 3:3, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17). While...

Dear talons, I will but it should be working now. The file backing up the conversion testimony link had been accidently deleted. I replaced it a few minutes ago and it is working for me now. FYI, I no longer attend any church so please don't think that I am a Pentecostal. Here it is...

Dear talons, I found the problem. It should work now. Joe

Dear talons, Did you click the link under my user name or did you type in the name greatmysteryofchrist.com on google search? It is working either way for me. Please let me know if you still can't get it to come up. Joe

Dear Talons, I just checked the webpage and it came up for me. However, it does take a little time to load. Please try again. Joe

Dear amigo de christo, That is not what God's Word teaches. Joe

Dear amigo de christo, Until Christ gives a person the Spirit of Truth, it is not possible for a person to know the truth. Everyone in this world is dependent upon Christ to heal their spiritual blindness. If He chooses not to heal their blindness, they will not be saved before they die...

Dear amigo de christo, If it is that simple, why are there around 2,000 different denominations/sects of Christianity in the world - all who belief and teach their own version of the truth? Joe

Dear bdavidc, Well said, but do you understand that only a converted believer has the ability to understand God's Word? An unconverted "babe" has no such ability. God's Word teaches that there are two types of believers: The first type of believer is a person who has been called to be a...

Dear soberxp, Christ only judges a person in this age for the purpose of conversion. There are two stages to that judgment. The first portion occurs just after an Elect person receives the Latter Rain of the Spirit and has their spiritual blindness healed. This scripture applies to that time...

Dear soberxp, Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with my website for the past 3 months and have just now had the time to come back to the forum. As for your comment, the words of Christ (spirit words, John 6:63) usually have two meanings". However, both of the meanings apply within a single...

Dear Cyd, The teachings of Christ under the New Covenant are 100% spiritual. They do not have physical fulfillments, too. Consider what Christ said below to Peter: Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with...

Dear NotTheRock, For the "lost" (non-chosen), they will be resurrected at the end of this age. They (goats) will then be separated from the sheep (Elect) and cast into the Lake of Fire where Christ will administer their judgment according to the Law. The penalty for sin according to the Law...

Dear NotTheRock, There is a pathway to salvation that Christ will cause all His Elect to travel to be converted. It is a very concealed plan even though it is frequently taught throughout scripture. Below is the pathway the Elect will travel to their moment of conversion/salvation. It was...

Dear Davy, You said: No, I am not. Nor do I wrongly... apply the idea of the disciple's question of Matthew 24:3 as meaning their 'era' or 'age' of time. They were asking Jesus about the sign of His FUTURE COMING, and the end of THIS PRESENT WORLD. So already, you have revealed to me a doctrine...

Dear NotTheRock, I completely agree with your post. Christ was sent by His Father to save the world and He came with a plan to do it. And since Christ is mankind's God, He cannot fail as the apostate church believes and teaches. In this age, Christ is only saving those who were chosen for...
