Likewise, I wish I was born into a genuine Christian family. Then I would have a much better, peaceful, blessed life rather than being blinded and unwise with regrets and cursed being lost in the world or not a learned Christian, following worldly lies and doing wrong things, being without a...

The message should be about Jesus first, who is our Lord and Savior and believing/having faith in Him, that He died on the cross for our sins and raised up again on the 3rd day and conquered sin and death and now he's giving everyone a chance to be saved and get to heaven with Him; therefore, he...

Tell them if they sin it will hurt themself AND others, tell them everything, talk to them about the gospel.

I don't know understand. I thought my question was clear when I just asked you if you were baptized first prior to receiving the Holy Spirit. So you now answered it in your post saying you were baptized after you received the Holy Spirit which is scriptural too, thank you. Sometimes though, I...

Here you go @Bob Estey, Johann wanted me to send/give you these, even though I don't know why as he already tagged you. ~confused~ That was very kind @Johann.

My question wasn't answered. I did not mean that I don't want to follow everything EXCEPT the things I mentioned like: animal sacrifice and priesthood which is not what we do anymore because the focus is on Jesus in the NT now and, "feasts" too? I wasn't sure about feasts if we have to follow...

Oh I didn't read this until now. Congratulations @BarneyFife, @Taken and @Wynona. :)

I just don't agree that Jesus said to repent of our sins just so that we could stay out of trouble but that it's His will, an instruction, a command because sin is not love and God calls on us to love Him and everyone, even the least.

Thank you @Lambano and @amadeus, @Nancy. :) I edited my 1st post with another question. Thank you.

thanks so much for this post! Very helpful. So this shows that you can receive the Holy Spirit before you got baptized. @DJT_47 this is interesting too. Does everyone agree that if you receive the Holy Spirit prior to getting baptized that the Holy Spirit is just WITH you but that if you get...

What do you mean? You said you only refer to The Ten Commandments and then you said the two greatest commandments, but I said everything in the bible.

Matthew 25:40-45 New International Version 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared...

Which includes this so EVERYTHING:

If you love God Almighty with ALL you heart, soul and mind, you will do, obey, strive for EVERYTHING God wants, His will in the Bible, follow Him WHOLE-heartedly, do what pleases Him. If I say "I love you" to my loved ones but never did anything to show that love, never did anything that they...

Sure! Thank you.

Oh dear Johann, you misunderstood why I was laughing. I was laughing because you made it so simple while Taken explained it in a long way but it's ok. So it was a compliment on you. I hate it when this happens, when people misunderstand and take what I did or said in the wrong way.

Hi, you didn't answer whether you got baptized first before receiving the Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Yes! it's how you become "born again".

I got the right scripture now. It says the truth is that if you repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit! So everyone gets the Holy Spirit "after" this! Then they are "born again"! once they have the Holy Spirit in them. Acts 2:38...

.. does God mean that you have to follow everything that's in the bible for example, the instruction on wisdom for protection in Proverbs and all instructions in any form that just because it doesn't say it's a commandment that Jesus is talking about all these instructions on how you should live...
