    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    Alan... I would like you to answer a few questions pertaining to Peter, Phillip, and Ananias' statements on remission of sins. Acts 2:38, 38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins ; and you will receive the gift...

    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    In Acts 10:43... Peter was explaining how we receive remission of sins. I thought I explained it well enough, but, maybe not. In order to understand what Peter is saying we must look @ other scriptures to have some clarity. Acts 2:38 says, 38 Peter said to them, " Repent, and each of you be...

    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    Let's not miss the point here and understand you are being baptised in Christ Jesus. That is what washes away your sin, "His Name". Acts 10:43 says, 43 "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins." We have to...

    Baptism in water vs Baptism in Holy Spirit

    Paul was speaking to the whole Corinth church in 1st Cor. 14. He was judging them for the way they were holding services, because he was the apostle (judge) of the gentile churches. They were getting up and speaking with tongues... because they had the Holy Ghost, but that doesn't mean you...

    Baptism in water vs Baptism in Holy Spirit

    I know I will not be accepted very well after commenting on the subject of water baptism. But to the ones that would like to know why I believe water baptism is very important, bear with me for a few minutes. I will start @ John 3:3-5. 3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born...

    Baptism in water vs Baptism in Holy Spirit

    Shy... I was a Baptist also and I had the same questions that you are asking. I had some wonderful friends in the Baptist Church and still do that tells me I already had the Holy Spirit. That was true to a certain extent, but I wanted more, so I ask God, and studied the scriptures to see if I...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    What does it mean? Most christians assume Jesus was saying if you don't overcome you will be tormented for eternity. But let's use scripture to try and understand what He is actually saying. Rev. 20:5-6 says, 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished ...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    In God's sovereignty, He blinded Israel for the purpose of saving the whole world. When a person is disobedient to the Law of God he has to pay for that crime by a judgment that comes from the Law that he broke. But what about God blinding Israel and making them His enemy. Was it their fault...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    I believe saying someone is saved would be a general statement. What I need to say is someone can be justified through faith. Justification is where you are imputed righteous in the eyes of God. In other words, you have been covered by the blood of the Lamb through your faith that God has...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    My question is... what did Paul mean when he said they were still saved although their works didn't please God. They went about doing their own thing, but Paul said they were still saved. When you believe on the Lord Jesus your spirit has been saved. God gives us the ability to recognize "His...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    No... but you can lose your reward. We get confused with God's judgments and as Christians we think God is telling us we have lost our salvation, but in reality, we have lost our BIRTHRIGHT. In essense, we have given up the Age to come, which is, "the Tabernacles Age", where the devil will be...

    Why would the Creature Await in Earnest Expectation?

    This is about our HOPE. The next great manifestation will be when the Sons put on immortality. We will have life and have it more abundantly. We haven't seen it yet, but by faith we know that it is going to come to pass. We can't take this lightly because God will be releasing the "Whole...

    Why would the Creature Await in Earnest Expectation?

    It will be a great advantage for the creation because the Sons will be used to restore the whole creation that Adam lost in the garden. Most christians don't understand the plan of of God. They think they will go to heaven and sit on a cloud for eternity. But God has other plans for them that He...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Exactly, the New Jerusalem is coming down to earth from God. A change is coming and what we do now will determine where God put's us in His Kingdom. As Jesus said, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. My point is, if we learn obedience in this life that we are living...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    I agree Verteran with what you are saying, but I am specfically talking about after the 2nd coming of Christ. There will be a Kingdom of God upon this earth that will not fail because Jesus Christ will be the Head and not man. We are living this life right now to qualify as a good servant so...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Veteran, we're always going to be under the authority of Jesus Christ. When we judge, Jesus will be judging through us, but we will be an extension of Jesus himself. But we will do the judging on behalf of Jesus, according to His Law, just as it was in Moses day. Ex. 18:18-23 says, 18 You...

    The Holy Trinity

    It has a lot to do with it when you understand that God has blinded all people for His Purpose. Eph. 4:17,18 says, 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk , in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened , being...

    The Holy Trinity

    And what are God's Promise to Abraham? In Acts 3:25, 26, 25 "It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, "AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED". 26 "For you first, God raised up His Servant...

    The Holy Trinity

    Who is a Jew? Paul's definition is found in (Romans 2:28-29). 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly , nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly ; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter ; and...

    The Holy Trinity

    Jesus walked on earth for 33 years and very few knew who he was. As the old man... you will never see Jesus as the ALMIGHTY... He will speak to us in parables for the purpose of hiding his true identity... so seeing we might not see and hearing we might not understand (Matthew 13:10-17). 10...
