Dear Berean, The second death is the spiritual death of mankind which occurs in the Lake of Fire. The Elect will experience the second death in the Lake of Fire in this age before they physically die (shown in Rev 19:11-20). During their judgment, they will not be harmed because they were...

Dear Berean, You said: The Apostle Paul emphasizes the largeness of this number when he says that Jesus gave himself a ransom for "all"—that is, for the entire human race. This does not mean, o course, that the entire human race will be eternally saved as result of the ransom, for it Is...

Dear Walter and Debbie, Here is what Christ came to do: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. To accomplish the salvation of the world, it requires TWO separate "works" from Christ. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to...

Dear KUWN, Is Jesus God? Here is what scripture says: John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 1Cor 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the...

Dear bdavidc, Yes, false teachers are everywhere. Because they are, a babe will choose the one that is most pleasing to them. The truth of Christ is not pleasing to carnally minded people and will always be rejected by them. They will always prefer the Old Wine. For that reason, Christ must...

Dear bdavidc, A babe is justified by faith but they will not remain faithful. You said that when a person "genuinely believes in Christ, they are born again, justified, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit". Scripture teaches that when a person genuinely believes in Christ, it is because Christ...

Dear bdavidc, Carnal mankind cannot understand and receive the truth of Christ. The Early Rain of the Spirit will give a person a measure of faith, but it will not heal their spiritual blindness or destroy their carnal mind. Because of this, a babe will prefer the Old Wine over the New Wine...

Dear bdavidc, You said: After reading your post, Joe, it comes across as though you believe you're the only one who truly knows God's truth. No, I know others online who have been converted and believe as I do - however, you will not find any of them in the churches of this world. Like me...

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
