    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Part 2

    What does it mean to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? As was mentioned in our previous post the baptism of the holy spirit came upon the Church at Pentecost and as such has continued with us even unto this day. To be baptized in the holy spirit is to be baptized into Jesus Christ, and to be...

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Part 1

    We have put together the following in response to our friend Dave’s comment on our post in which we had stated: “The Scriptures make a distinction between the faithful of the past who were moved by the holy spirit, and those during the Gospel age who are begotten by the holy spirit. Both have...

    Who is this "she" you refer to?

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    If I am not mistaken, I believe Marks was being sarcastic.

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    No I don't speak for everyone here on this forum, as not all are joined to the body (fully consecrated), some are still in the "courtyard condition", and are still "counting the cost" of what is entailed in following in the Master's footsteps even as they were so admonished to do. I speak only...

    See Post # 100 Thus we speak in the plural form.

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    So you're suggesting that we should just make comments on someones elses post without actually reading it. Even as was stated in Post #72

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    It matters not whether or not he actually sacrificed (killed) an animal (which I believe as you he most likely did not) or that he simply "spoke" the coats of skin into existences, the point is in what it typifies, that it required the life of another to provide these coverings, even as it...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    One quick point here for clarification; the Great Day of Atonement was observed with fasting, mourning (for sin) and prayer, and was esteemed a time for reformation and good resolutions, and a desire for Divine favor for the year in advance. Its sacrifices and offerings were not in respect to...

    What has this to do with the subject?

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    Sorry, but from reading many of your posts thus far it is apparent that you are still in bondage to Babylon and the errors taught there, this along with your apparent lack of humility and meekness as evidenced by your prejudice and bigotry toward others leads me to believe that you my friend are...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    We are one body in Christ, there are no individuals. Just as wine is obtained at the expense of the life of the grapes, the grapes being crushed losing their individuality so too we in order to be joined to the body of Christ must be willing to sacrifice our lives and lose our individuality that...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    This is true, no one begotten of the holy spirit during the Gospel age is born of the holy spirit until they have experienced their resurrection change. First, if we are called we are begotten of the spirit, then comes the gestation period in which the "new creature" in us develops, but...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    The Scriptures make a distiction between the faithful of the past who were moved by the holy spirit, and those during the Gospel age who are begotten by the holy spirit. Both have the holy spirits presence and guidance, but only those begotten of the holy spirit are begotten to a new nature, a...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    Unfortunately the scriptures don't support this idea. They make it clear that no one was begotten of the holy spirit prior to Pentecost. Note we are not talking about those faithful of the of the past who were guided and moved by the holy spirit, we are talking about those who have been...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    You are correct there is not enough information, and this is only an assumption on our part nevertheless it is a possibility. Nothing in the account implies Cain’s offering was not the very best of his crops. Imagine yourself in his shoes; what type of sacrifice would you have given to the...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    If you had read our post you would have noted we never said that Abel offered the first animal sacrifice (it was God who sacrificed the first animal), we simply stated that Abel’s offering of a lamb as a sacrifice (in distinction with any other type of animal sacrifice) was the first sacrifice...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    You are on the right track my sister. “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.” (Heb 11:4 NKJV) “By faith Abel offered to God a more...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    None of these text quoted imply that Adam and Eve must come to Him through a sacrificial lamb. Understand I am not talking about the antitypical lamb Christ Jesus which we understand to be our only hope of approach, of atonement with God, no what I'm saying is there is nothing said to Adam and...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    "I was always taught,and encouraged to teach that Cain offering was not his best from what he had grown." This is just a question and is not meant to be taken as an affront to what you believe or teach. Where precisely does it say that the offering which Cain brought was not the best of his...
