[SIZE=10pt]GOOD NEWS for the strong hearted, hutzpah blessed, mind enriched, vigilant child of the Highest,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]sorry Ostriches.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]After faith in Jesus, GOD’s provided Savior, CORRECT BAPTISM is STEP #2.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]BAPTISM and NEW ENERGY, through the Spirit, was predicted.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.55[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] Ho, everyone who thirsts (for the ENERGIZING Spirit of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]come to the waters (of baptism calling on Jesus).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He who has no money (still) COME and buy and eat[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Yes, COME (to Jesus through Baptism).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Buy wine and milk >> without money and without price << (no TITHING no OFFERING)
[2] Why do you spend money for that which is not bread?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Why do you labor for that which do not satisfy?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Hearken >> diligently to me, (Jesus the BREAD of LIFE),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and eat that which is good (from GOD), and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
[3] Incline your ear and COME to me (Jesus).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Hear (OBEY) and your soul (BODY and Spirit) shall live; (NEW ENERGY after Baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I will make an Everlasting Covenant with you, (who baptized = the Apostles and converts were the first),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]even the sure (guaranteed) mercies of David.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus, immediately responds to the following Baptism, because it is the Word of GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD is generally viewed as a good Father who is guiding us[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and helping us and our children toward our own happy lives.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He is alternatively viewed as a Great King who must be obeyed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]or suffer the consequences of an enemy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Under Grace and Christ, GOD can safely be viewed as a good and completely helpful Father[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who understands our failings to become acceptable and blessed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]CHRIST, who is GOD’s Power and GOD’s Wisdom, is the perfect and key REMEDY for us.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The one who died on the cross was no simple angel or common being,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but the Great Temple God who created all things, including us.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD our Highest Father, who is gracious, has many fine qualities.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We want to remind the good brothers that GOD is >> particular.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Our Father does not accept everything and in every way.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He also teaches us to have some good standards.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD the Most High gave Moses a >> particular design for the Temple.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He also gave us simple but >> particular features,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for each single Child to know and to follow (Eph.4: 4-6)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD named a >> particular location for the Temple.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Offerings to him were made in >> particular and acceptable ways[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and only from a >> particular location.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]As we study we become more aware of this teaching that still exists under the 2nd Covenant.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The Apostles being Israelites, and who were under the First Covenant,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]were well aware of being particular.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Paul pointed out:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]“the Offering up of the Gentiles must be acceptable (because GOD is particular).”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Rom.15[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][15] Nevertheless, my good brothers,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]In some sort I have written more boldly to you, as caring for your welfare [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]because of the grace (GOD’s goodness) that is given to me by GOD,
[16] so that I could be the minister of Jesus Christ,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to (serve the precious Jesus Christ to) the Gentiles,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]serving the Gospel, (the good news about good Gifts from the good GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that the offering up of the Gentiles, being sanctified, (separated by faith in Christ),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]by the Spirit of the Father, might be >> acceptable (to GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Eph.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] To the praise of the glory (richness) of GOD’s graciousness,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]in where GOD has made us (Apostles and converts)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> accepted (acceptable) in his beloved (Son).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] You also, like lively (energetic) stones, (from the life giving Spirit that is in you after Baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]are built up by Jesus Christ (our Maker and Builder), into a Spiritual House (hold),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]a Holy (uncommon) Priesthood (of good men)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices (spontaneously, from within us)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that are >>acceptable to GOD (and happiness to GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Immediately after Baptism, calling on Jesus, the flow of all of the GOOD GIFTS,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from GOD through Christ, is started and happiness is the norm.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]At times the children of Israel did wrong and were exiled.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]When the innocent future generations returned home they had to rebuild.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD’s Ordinance of Baptism was destroyed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We also have to rebuild like the innocent returning Israelites had to.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Correct baptism satisfies a few necessary particulars[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like (1) respectfulness to GOD and the Apostles, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and >> especially respect and acceptance of the Highly Exalted Christ, who died like a big zero,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt](2) Submissiveness and (3) Orderliness….[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We were swerved away from Christ, the ONLY Savior[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and the ONLY mediator between GOD and man.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We ended up without GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The individuals who are correcting their Baptism are finding a TOTALLY different Christianity.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]This rediscovered Christianity solves the puzzles and meshes with what the Apostles wrote.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Baptism is the return to the Mighty God =Jesus + of the Remnant of Israel.[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (starting circa 30 A.D.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Scriptures below, help us Gentiles to understand the return, to GOD through Christ, of his children,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that started about 2000 years ago.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Luke .13[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][23] Then said one to him (Jesus):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]LORD, are there few (a remnant as per Isaiah),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who are saved (from error and destruction in 70 A.D.)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He said to them:
[24] Strive to enter in (the invisible kingdom),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]at the Strait >> (particular) Gate (that includes baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I (the God of Israel), say to you:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Many will seek to enter in (to the number of GOD’s children)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and shall not be able [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](Hindsight is on our side.[/SIZE])
[SIZE=10pt]Acts.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][38] Then Peter (who is an Israelite) said to the Israelites.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt](1)[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Repent (return. Come back to our God = the Mighty God = Jesus),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and (2) every single one of you be baptized in (from under the water, calling on),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the name of Jesus Christ (the incarnated Mighty God of Israel)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.31[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Turn (return) to him (Jesus, the righteous God of Israel[/SIZE]),
[SIZE=10pt]from whom the children/ nation of Israel,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]have deeply revolted[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (hated, rebelled, warred against...)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][21] The Remnant (of Israel) shall return (shall come back to Jesus + his Father),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]even the Remnant of Jacob (the Apostles and converts), [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall come back to the Mighty God[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (Jesus, the Son of GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.28[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] In that day, (of the Apostles preaching),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the LORD of hosts (Jesus the merciful God)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall be for (like) a crown of glory,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and for (like) a diadem of beauty,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to the residue of his people (the Apostles and converts)
[6] and for (as) a Spirit of Judgment, (righteous reasoning),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to him (the Apostle or elder),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who sits in judgment (using correct spiritual reasoning)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and for strength to them (the Apostles and converts)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who turn the battle[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to >> the (particular) GATE (= to Jesus and correct baptism,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]calling on Jesus. See Luke 13:24 above[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt])[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.55[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Seek the LORD (Jesus, through the Apostles) while he may be found.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Call upon him (Jesus) while he is near.
[7] Let the wicked (Israelite) forsake his (evil) way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and the unrighteous man forsake his thoughts[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and let him return to the LORD [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and Jesus will have mercy upon him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and to our GOD (the Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for he (GOD) will abundantly pardon (through baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][25] You (Israelites) were going astray like sheep[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but at present you have returned to (Jesus) the Shepherd (the God of Israel)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and Bishop (preserver) of your souls (Body and Spirit).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jer.31[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] Thus saith the LORD (Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Sing with gladness (happiness) for Jacob[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and shout (happily) among the chief of the Gentile nations.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Publish.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Praise and say:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]O LORD (our Father), save your people (through Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the remnant[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (the last remains) of Israel [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](the Apostles and..)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.30[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][29] You (Apostles and ..[/SIZE]) shall have a song,
[SIZE=10pt]like in the night when a Holy Solemnity is kept.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You shall have gladness of heart,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like when one goes with a pipe,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to come into[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] the Mountain of the LORD[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to the Mighty One[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]/ the God of Israel (= pre-incarnated Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jer.16[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][19] O LORD (Jesus), my Strength, my Fortress[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and my Refuge in the Day of Affliction:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> the worldwide Gentiles shall come[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt], (for the first time) to you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and shall say, (after baptism and illumination)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]‘Surely our (Gentile) fathers have inherited lies (trickery[/SIZE]), vanity (aimlessness),
[SIZE=10pt]and things (religion/ errors), in which there is no profit (but death and still we pay[/SIZE])
[SIZE=10pt]Pss.82[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] Arise, O God (Jesus the God of Israel).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Judge (teach) the earth[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for you (Jesus) shalt inherit (from the Most High), all Israelites and Gentiles.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus, at the moment, has inherited ‘all things on earth from his Father.’[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The Israelites, the children of the Prophets[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]returned to their 'known' God Jesus, though faith in him and in his Father.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He incarnated as the precious promised, by GOD, Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Calling on the name of the LORD is customary.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Acts.22[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][16] Now why do you tarry (Paul)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]calling on the name of the LORD [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](who incarnated as Jesus Christ)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Pss.116[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][13] I will take (happily accept) the Cup of Salvation (from the dishonored Son)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I will call upon the name of the LORD[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (Jesus, starting in baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Pss.99[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Moses and Aaron were among his Priests[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and Samuel was among those (Judges) of Israel,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who call upon his name[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]They called upon the LORD[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (Jesus[/SIZE]) and he answered them.

[SIZE=10pt]Jesus still, accepts us if we PERSONALLY baptize ourselves calling on him for forgiveness and help,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]as is the Israelite custom.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Pss.34[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] O >> taste (BAPTISM) and see that the LORD (Jesus) is good.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Happy is the man who trusts in him (Jesus.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]ALL were pleasantly surprised.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Rediscover TRUE Christianity without paying any money.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.52[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] For thus saith the LORD (the Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You (Christians) have sold yourselves for naught[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and you shall be redeemed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> WITHOUT MONEY<< (No Tithes and Offering BUT ENORMOUS thanks to GOD and Christ.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][18] Forasmuch as you (correctly baptized Apostles and converts) know,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, (TITHES and OFFERINGS),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from your vain conversation that you received by tradition from your fathers;
[19] But with the precious blood of Christ, (the Mighty God of former Israel),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like the blood of a (PERFECTLY good) lamb without blemish and without spot.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]After baptism[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] read and follow the Teachings of the Apostles,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]always asking Jesus and GOD, Our Father to enable you to obey all things…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][2] Like newly born babies (NEWLY BAPTIZED),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]desire the sincere milk of the Word (of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that you may grow by it (into the New HAPPY Man, with help from the Savior).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] If it is the case, that you have tasted (after Baptism calling on him),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that the LORD (Jesus = the incarnated God of Israel), is gracious.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Manifold Grace, from GOD and Christ but through Christ, is truly unspeakable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Enjoy the good, highly energized, blessed X2, joyful life starting NOW,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]after CORRECT non-heretical, Jesus and GOD, restored baptism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The best to everyone…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]sorry Ostriches.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]After faith in Jesus, GOD’s provided Savior, CORRECT BAPTISM is STEP #2.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]BAPTISM and NEW ENERGY, through the Spirit, was predicted.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.55[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] Ho, everyone who thirsts (for the ENERGIZING Spirit of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]come to the waters (of baptism calling on Jesus).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He who has no money (still) COME and buy and eat[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Yes, COME (to Jesus through Baptism).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Buy wine and milk >> without money and without price << (no TITHING no OFFERING)
[2] Why do you spend money for that which is not bread?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Why do you labor for that which do not satisfy?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Hearken >> diligently to me, (Jesus the BREAD of LIFE),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and eat that which is good (from GOD), and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
[3] Incline your ear and COME to me (Jesus).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Hear (OBEY) and your soul (BODY and Spirit) shall live; (NEW ENERGY after Baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I will make an Everlasting Covenant with you, (who baptized = the Apostles and converts were the first),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]even the sure (guaranteed) mercies of David.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus, immediately responds to the following Baptism, because it is the Word of GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD is generally viewed as a good Father who is guiding us[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and helping us and our children toward our own happy lives.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He is alternatively viewed as a Great King who must be obeyed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]or suffer the consequences of an enemy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Under Grace and Christ, GOD can safely be viewed as a good and completely helpful Father[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who understands our failings to become acceptable and blessed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]CHRIST, who is GOD’s Power and GOD’s Wisdom, is the perfect and key REMEDY for us.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The one who died on the cross was no simple angel or common being,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but the Great Temple God who created all things, including us.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD our Highest Father, who is gracious, has many fine qualities.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We want to remind the good brothers that GOD is >> particular.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Our Father does not accept everything and in every way.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He also teaches us to have some good standards.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD the Most High gave Moses a >> particular design for the Temple.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He also gave us simple but >> particular features,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for each single Child to know and to follow (Eph.4: 4-6)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD named a >> particular location for the Temple.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Offerings to him were made in >> particular and acceptable ways[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and only from a >> particular location.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]As we study we become more aware of this teaching that still exists under the 2nd Covenant.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The Apostles being Israelites, and who were under the First Covenant,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]were well aware of being particular.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Paul pointed out:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]“the Offering up of the Gentiles must be acceptable (because GOD is particular).”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Rom.15[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][15] Nevertheless, my good brothers,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]In some sort I have written more boldly to you, as caring for your welfare [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]because of the grace (GOD’s goodness) that is given to me by GOD,
[16] so that I could be the minister of Jesus Christ,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to (serve the precious Jesus Christ to) the Gentiles,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]serving the Gospel, (the good news about good Gifts from the good GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that the offering up of the Gentiles, being sanctified, (separated by faith in Christ),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]by the Spirit of the Father, might be >> acceptable (to GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Eph.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] To the praise of the glory (richness) of GOD’s graciousness,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]in where GOD has made us (Apostles and converts)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> accepted (acceptable) in his beloved (Son).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] You also, like lively (energetic) stones, (from the life giving Spirit that is in you after Baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]are built up by Jesus Christ (our Maker and Builder), into a Spiritual House (hold),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]a Holy (uncommon) Priesthood (of good men)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices (spontaneously, from within us)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that are >>acceptable to GOD (and happiness to GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Immediately after Baptism, calling on Jesus, the flow of all of the GOOD GIFTS,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from GOD through Christ, is started and happiness is the norm.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]At times the children of Israel did wrong and were exiled.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]When the innocent future generations returned home they had to rebuild.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD’s Ordinance of Baptism was destroyed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We also have to rebuild like the innocent returning Israelites had to.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Correct baptism satisfies a few necessary particulars[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like (1) respectfulness to GOD and the Apostles, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and >> especially respect and acceptance of the Highly Exalted Christ, who died like a big zero,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt](2) Submissiveness and (3) Orderliness….[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We were swerved away from Christ, the ONLY Savior[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and the ONLY mediator between GOD and man.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We ended up without GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The individuals who are correcting their Baptism are finding a TOTALLY different Christianity.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]This rediscovered Christianity solves the puzzles and meshes with what the Apostles wrote.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Baptism is the return to the Mighty God =Jesus + of the Remnant of Israel.[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (starting circa 30 A.D.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Scriptures below, help us Gentiles to understand the return, to GOD through Christ, of his children,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that started about 2000 years ago.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Luke .13[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][23] Then said one to him (Jesus):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]LORD, are there few (a remnant as per Isaiah),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who are saved (from error and destruction in 70 A.D.)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He said to them:
[24] Strive to enter in (the invisible kingdom),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]at the Strait >> (particular) Gate (that includes baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I (the God of Israel), say to you:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Many will seek to enter in (to the number of GOD’s children)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and shall not be able [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](Hindsight is on our side.[/SIZE])
[SIZE=10pt]Acts.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][38] Then Peter (who is an Israelite) said to the Israelites.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt](1)[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Repent (return. Come back to our God = the Mighty God = Jesus),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and (2) every single one of you be baptized in (from under the water, calling on),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the name of Jesus Christ (the incarnated Mighty God of Israel)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.31[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Turn (return) to him (Jesus, the righteous God of Israel[/SIZE]),
[SIZE=10pt]from whom the children/ nation of Israel,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]have deeply revolted[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (hated, rebelled, warred against...)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][21] The Remnant (of Israel) shall return (shall come back to Jesus + his Father),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]even the Remnant of Jacob (the Apostles and converts), [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall come back to the Mighty God[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] (Jesus, the Son of GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.28[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] In that day, (of the Apostles preaching),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the LORD of hosts (Jesus the merciful God)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall be for (like) a crown of glory,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and for (like) a diadem of beauty,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to the residue of his people (the Apostles and converts)
[6] and for (as) a Spirit of Judgment, (righteous reasoning),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to him (the Apostle or elder),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who sits in judgment (using correct spiritual reasoning)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and for strength to them (the Apostles and converts)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who turn the battle[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to >> the (particular) GATE (= to Jesus and correct baptism,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]calling on Jesus. See Luke 13:24 above[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt])[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.55[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Seek the LORD (Jesus, through the Apostles) while he may be found.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Call upon him (Jesus) while he is near.
[7] Let the wicked (Israelite) forsake his (evil) way[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and the unrighteous man forsake his thoughts[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and let him return to the LORD [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt](Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and Jesus will have mercy upon him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and to our GOD (the Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for he (GOD) will abundantly pardon (through baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][25] You (Israelites) were going astray like sheep[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but at present you have returned to (Jesus) the Shepherd (the God of Israel)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and Bishop (preserver) of your souls (Body and Spirit).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jer.31[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] Thus saith the LORD (Jesus)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Sing with gladness (happiness) for Jacob[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and shout (happily) among the chief of the Gentile nations.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]You shall have gladness of heart,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]He incarnated as the precious promised, by GOD, Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Calling on the name of the LORD is customary.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt][16] Now why do you tarry (Paul)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Eph. 4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] ONE LORD (Jesus),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]ONE Faith, (in BOTH, the good Son and the good Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> ONE (acceptable) baptism, (calling on Jesus from under the water that is easily proven)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]More research is available.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Grace is great, various and ongoing…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Everyone gets very happy and LOVES it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus still, accepts us if we PERSONALLY baptize ourselves calling on him for forgiveness and help,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]as is the Israelite custom.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Pss.34[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] O >> taste (BAPTISM) and see that the LORD (Jesus) is good.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Happy is the man who trusts in him (Jesus.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]ALL were pleasantly surprised.
[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Rediscover TRUE Christianity without paying any money.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Isa.52[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] For thus saith the LORD (the Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You (Christians) have sold yourselves for naught[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and you shall be redeemed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> WITHOUT MONEY<< (No Tithes and Offering BUT ENORMOUS thanks to GOD and Christ.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1 Pet.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][18] Forasmuch as you (correctly baptized Apostles and converts) know,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, (TITHES and OFFERINGS),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from your vain conversation that you received by tradition from your fathers;
[19] But with the precious blood of Christ, (the Mighty God of former Israel),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like the blood of a (PERFECTLY good) lamb without blemish and without spot.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]After baptism[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] read and follow the Teachings of the Apostles,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]always asking Jesus and GOD, Our Father to enable you to obey all things…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][2] Like newly born babies (NEWLY BAPTIZED),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]desire the sincere milk of the Word (of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that you may grow by it (into the New HAPPY Man, with help from the Savior).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] If it is the case, that you have tasted (after Baptism calling on him),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that the LORD (Jesus = the incarnated God of Israel), is gracious.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Manifold Grace, from GOD and Christ but through Christ, is truly unspeakable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Enjoy the good, highly energized, blessed X2, joyful life starting NOW,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]after CORRECT non-heretical, Jesus and GOD, restored baptism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The best to everyone…[/SIZE]
