    Jesus Chooses Us

    Let's begin with this, "Your sins are forgiven, sin no more, or something worse shall happen to you." "Be ye perfect as your FATHER in Heaven is perfect." "Many are called but only a few are chosen." 'The path is narrow and the way is hard, for only a few will make it." To be 'chosen', one...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    'Doug', you seem to surprise me, that's the way to go about it, reasoning your points. i believe you're referring to how Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot, as to be called an Apostle of Jesus Christ. But this choice was made by Peter based on the 'wisdom', 'rank' and 'key to the...

    Revelation 20: 5&6

    5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of GOD and of Christ, and shall reign with Him...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    "To whom it may concern," The text plainly read 'church', universally and biblically there's only 'one body of Christ'. For the initial division between the Jews and Gentiles have been 'broken' by GOD's New Covenant. And now they are united in 'oneness' and 'togetherness' as 'a church' and...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Repeatedly by 'Doug', a 'false' and 'twisted' version of the scripture and doctrine of the Holy Bible. Matthew 15: 14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 'keithr', take advice from the word of the Lord as quoted...

    Was the Cross Always Understood?

    Is there scripture to support this theory of yours? 1 Corinthians 2: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. John 8: 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do, He was a murderer...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    There's no scripture to support that Jesus said, 'the Word is the water' nor 'the water is the Word'. Ephesians 5: 26. That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. This means, Jesus spoke proclaiming the 'word of GOD' drawing people unto repentance and...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    That happened after Jesus' death and resurrection, and commissioned His discipled Apostles, to proclaim the full Gospel unto salvation to all nations. As Jesus commissioned them. first to make disciple of all nations, and then only baptize them in the name of the FATHER, and of the Son, and of...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Acts 2: 38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Apostle Peter named the 'rock', on whom Christ's church will be built upon, proclaimed and 'bound' on earth...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Hey amigo and NJ, likewise enjoy in being wise in your own conceit wild charade. 'Water Baptism' is darn well in the production of the 'Second Birth'. In order for a man to 'see' the Kingdom of GOD first, he be born again/from above. (John 3:3) Next, in order for a man to 'enter' the Kingdom...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Old Testament is GOD's Old Covenant given and made with Israel. Jesus fulfilled the requirements of GOD's Old Covenant including the Law and the Prophets. Therefore the New Testament is GOD's New Covenant given and made with Israel and then Gentles. 'Water Baptism' is in GOD's New Covenant in...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Thank you for the reminder, it was just a brotherly correction, no offence taken. May GOD forgive and bless them with truth and eternal life. On their part, it is inappropriate to make a 'false' claim that 'water baptism' is of no significant value or purpose to the 'second birth'. The...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Readers, Besides these 'clowns' and their 'babblings', water baptism played a significant role, hand in hand with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and with fire, in the production of the second birth. Therefore John the Baptist baptized people for nothing, had all the time to play with water and...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    You are 'silly' and babbling so much, think you know something but you know nothing at all. The FATHER and Son have authority over the Holy Ghost, for their word is truth and eternal life, and the Holy Ghost serves the Word, and not Himself. Open your eyes and read what the Holy Ghost Himself...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Why do i say being born from above, is the intervention of GOD the FATHER in a person's life besides Jesus (John3:3)? This is because of the incident between Peter and Jesus, as Peter answered, "You are Christ, Son of the Living GOD." And Jesus responded by saying, "Simon son of Jonah, you did...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Jesus' point as to the Gospel in these last days is that a person 'must be born from above' first in order to 'see' the Kingdom of GOD. For one at the first stage of being born from above, is the intervention of GOD the FATHER personally in one's life initiating, so that the person is able to...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Excuse me, you too do not add that the born of water Jesus speaks about, to you is the natural water bag birth of a woman. There's no scripture to support your fantasy theory learned of man who posses a different Jesus and spirit. But the water by nature baptism is what Jesus is referring to...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    So to you, Jesus was addressing specifically to the natural water bag born men, that only they can be born again? And He was addressing so, because probably there were 'aliens' there and are exempted from this rebirth? Every man in Israel know of this natural human birth of the earth, and need...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Perhaps, like Nicodemus i suggest you become born again first, thank you.

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Yes, lawless ones who are not imitators of their Master Jesus tend to do so, thinking they can do a better job than Jesus. "My sheep hear my voice and they follow Me, .............................."
