AMEN! Great Post! But I
humbly believe
This Should Be, Under The Current
GRACE Dispensation, Today, This ONE Baptism (Ephesians 4 : 5 KJB!
{Also ENDS ALL "water CONFUSION!" [
Previous post
5175 ...]}
:
"For BY ONE Spirit Are we all Baptized Into ONE Body, whether
we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;And have all
been Made to drink Into ONE Spirit!" (
1 Corinthians 12 : 13 KJB!)
{faith = "HeartFULLY Confessed Belief!!")
Not to Confused with,
But Rightly Divided (
2 Timothy 2 : 15 KJB!)
From,
The
Previous Dispensation's "Baptism WITH The Spirit FOR power, miracles,
signs, and wonders! {sight!}", Right?
Thus,
THIS would then Equate to:
"...we LIVE by FAITH, NOT by sight!..."
(
2 Corinthians 5 : 7 KJB!)
Thus Eliminating ALL "legalistic JUDGERS" of Everyone
Elses salvation! Amen? =============== "SHOW
ME your works" Correct?
Eternal THANKS Be To God, HE ALONE "Knows" my heart!
Be Blessed!
Agree.
Water Baptism, is for men to SEE "something".
Good Post!
As far as Salvation Given and Received ONCE and permanently;
Men have their opportunity, to Hear, Learn, Follow, Experience the benefits (taste) of Gods Knowledge and Blessings, Elect to Trust the Knowledge, Enjoy the Blessings, Believe it is Good Will from God, (or just dumb Luck), and instead Listen to and be Tempted by Evil Spirts and Wicked Schemes of men who Entice with false promises of deceptive gains.
The whole POINT of the "COMMANDMENTS", IS for the "ignorant and lawless". "Commandments" are not "suggestions".
"Commandments" Are Dictatorial "requirements" to Achieve A GOAL.
The "GOAL" of God, "IS" "PREPARATION".
The "Preparation" IS geared precisely TOWARD (and FOR), Gods created "mankind".
The "Preparation" Begins with what IS "familiar" to mankind...which IS "mankind".
- Mankind can hear, see, touch, feel, smell...
Mankind.
- Mankind can NOT, hear, see, touch, feel, smell God.
"Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Divorce" etc. IS Specifically, opportunity, for mankind to "practice" behaviors and relationships AMONG and BETWEEN MEN....
** "IN PREPARATION" for a Relationship "WITH God", (whom a naturally born man neither KNOWS, can hear, see, touch, feel, smell.
The "practicing"... of relationships of men among and between men;
Reveals to the individual, "positive results" and "negative results".
Men "CAN" lie, cheat, steal, divorce...and "when caught"...that individual suffers the burden of the "consequences".
The "HIGHLIGHT IS";
* LEARNING from and MATURING to KNOW "HOW TO" AVOID "mistakes and errors" of the "positive and negative" results of behaviors among and between men...
IS WISDOM.
* LEARNING...THERE IS: NO...NONE...ZIP...NADA...TOLERANCE, OF:
Having A "RELATIONSHIP" WITH GOD, that has one tiddle OF:
~Lying to God,
~Cheating God,
~Stealing from God,
~Divorcing God
* WISDOM IS KNOWING...
ANY man WHO is "thinking" about MAKING a COMMITMENT of a "having a relationship" "WITH GOD"; absolute assuredness IS required...
THERE IS NO TOLERANCE... of BACKING OUT. THERE IS NO TOLERANCE...for TRICKING God. (Maybe, sort of, kind of, commitment).
A commitment to God...IS ONCE, IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH, IS FOREVER.
* Obeying Gods "commands"... IS to OBEY, His Requirements that RESULT IN...
HAVING an ONCE Established EVERLASTING Relationship WITH HIM.
All the "preparation" OF a man...
Practicing relationship among and between men. Making mistakes, experiencing the result, Correcting mistakes, experiencing the result, Hearing, Learning, About God, Following Gods Word, Exeriencing results, ARE: ALL for the BIG PICTURE...
And HELLO...
RECEIVING Gods "promises",
RECEIVING Gods "forgiveness",
RECEIVING Gods "gift of "Faith-FULLNESS",
RECEIVING Gods "gift of SALVATION"...
RECEIVING Gods "Baptism OF HIS Holy Spirit, "WITH and IN" a man...
IS Precisely ONCE and FOREVER
Men preaching AGAINST;
Men rejecting Gods Word;
Men twisting that WHICH WHAT GOD "DOES" "IN" a man....IS REQUIRED TO BE "KEPT" (intact) by the power of the man...
IS utter Nonsense.
God Himself, Does the Changing...IN A MAN;
God Himself, Does the KEEPING and SECURING of that Change He MAKES IN A MAN.
Men receive the Lords Gift of Salvation...
ONCE and FOREVER.
Greater is He who is IN you, than he who is IN the World. Amen!
Glory to God,
Taken
