Who are you talking to? Me?What’s you’re point for God’s sake get to it!
the Jews are special! Is that it?
Whoever you are talking to....For one who preaches Baptism, Is that the way you should be speaking to someone?What’s you’re point for God’s sake get to it!
the Jews are special! Is that it?
Not true, The Church that belongs to Christ is the Seed of Abraham Gal 3:29only Jews?
Not going to nothing with it, what you going to do with it, you bought it up !What you going to do with the passage that states in Romans... that not all Israel is Israel? Israel is those who believe..
Lol, I had come to other thoughts after this....Not going to nothing with it, what you going to do with it, you bought it up !
But how did people get added to the church before they were not of the church?The Lord Jesus Christ did not die for all mankind without exception, for that is one of the biggest deceptions ever told. The scripture is very clear as to whom it is that He Loved and died for, for He Loved and died for His Church Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Paul here states exactly who Christ died for by inspiration. Its the World of His Church, or His Body which He is the Head of. He died for His Kingdom, for He is a King of which He must have a Kingdom; He died for the World consisting of His Bride, since He is the Bridegroom. Scripture teaches that God the Father picked the bride for the Bridegroom, Remember Issac and Rebekkah ?
The justified by faith in the Old Testament were not of the church, as I see it, which itself began at Pentecost, Acts 2.Not true, The Church that belongs to Christ is the Seed of Abraham Gal 3:29
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Both jew and gentile belong to Christ !
Another words did the church begin before His death? Could they be added to the church before His death and resurrection?But how did people get added to the church before they were not of the church?
Was the Spirit Given to those who are the church? And when was the Spirit promised?Another words did the church begin before His death? Could they be added to the church before His death and resurrection?
So is one saying Jesus's death and resurrection has nothing to do with the church?
The church are the body, members of Christ..those I would assume that do the work of Christ by the Spirit of God?...what do you think? But the Spirit is not given until After Christ arose...and shown after His ascension..correct?The justified by faith in the Old Testament were not of the church, as I see it, which itself began at Pentecost, Acts 2.
The Lord Jesus promised the coming of the Holy Spirit, and He indeed did come to indwell, from Pentecost onward, after the Lord Jesus' ascension.The church are the body, members of Christ..those I would assume that do the work of Christ by the Spirit of God?...what do you think? But the Spirit is not given until After Christ arose...and shown after His ascension..correct?
The LORD added to the church according to scriptures. And He did that through chosen individuals such as the apostles, and by the power and working of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of those appointed to eternal life.But how did people get added to the church before they were not of the church?
From this above...and I could be wrong...but it was in receiving the word that it seems they received the spirit. And the evidence was what flowed out of them...tongues. So correct me if I be wrong..I thought the ones who received the word
Were added to the church.
This also makes me think about this passage:
4Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7There were about twelve men in all.
Yes they were, else Christ didnt die for them. Christ died for the church exclusively ! The Church is the seed of abraham that belongs to Christ !The justified by faith in the Old Testament were not of the church, as I see it, which itself began at Pentecost, Acts 2.
