It's through faith .. . the faith in God and of God through receiving the infilling of God's Spirit.1Co:12:13: 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 been all made to drink into one Spirit.. . . that's the infilling of the Spirit, speaking in tongues that Jesus united all his disciples (Jew and Gentile) with.Have you received that Whirlwind?And are you faithful to that as God's way of salvation?
Are you of the group that if you do not speak in tongues, you do not have the Holy Spirit, and thus are not saved, TallMan?How can there be a continual filling of the Spirit when we have a rest in Christ Jesus?Matthew 9: 17Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.John 6: 35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.How can you say you are not preaching another spirit other than the Spirit you had already received if you preach another baptism of the Holy Spirit?Don't you know there are other tongues in the world that is just gibberish? Tongues are a sign for the unbelievers.. not for the believers to know they have the Holy Spirit. Tongues were giving the wonderful works of God in foreign languages to unbelievers. To seek tongues as a sign that you are saved after you believed in Jesus, then that is alike committing spiritual adultery in seeking another filling of the "Spirit" to get this tongues which the world also gets by going after the spirits of the world.That is why all invitations points to Jesus. None to the Holy Spirit. It is by Jesus we receive the Spirit as promised.Ephesians 1:12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.Colossians 2: 5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:So this "need" for a continual filling of the "Spirit" is not the Gospel, but preaching another spirit and it is of the world as evident as the tongues of the world is gibberish, having no interpretor thus an unbiblical tongue.You need to strive ye to enter through that straight gate, TallMan. That straight gate is Jesus Christ. You need to get out of that false teaching and way of life because that is not preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified. That is exalting something else in His name for salvation and that is just as wrong as catholicism. Decide this day Whom you are going to serve, the Lord Jesus Christ... or something else in His name. Even I referred to the Lord Jesus Christ, but I still needed Him to help me do that for there is no power in that decision of man... only by the faith in Christ Jesus in trusting Him to be My Good Shepherd. I am where I am today because of Him, thanks be to Jesus!! AMEN! And you are so going to need Him to be able to take a step back and discern what you are actually saying in how that is NOT the simplicity of the Gospel AND you are going to need Him to withdraw from it also to rest in Jesus and His promises to us. Amen.Hebrews 4: 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.The purpose of the site is to expose false teachings. It doesn't matter about the British Israel/ the Christian Identity Connection because we are identified as His by faith WITHOUT anything else for it is by faith in His righteousness we are identified by.Romans 3: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. I don't see getting another filling of the Spirit with evidence of tongues as an act of man to obtain when we are to rest in Him by faith.Galatians 3: 14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.Hebrews 11: 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen....6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. So where is your faith in this saying?Romans 10: 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Ephesians 2:8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Kind of hard for you to claim this verse above if you say God's way of salvation is through the constant filling of the spirit with speaking in tongues.Have you not heard Whirlwind's confession of faith?Romans 10: 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.You need to depart from the practises that deny Him, TallMan. Call on Jesus for help today.
