Reader lets look at an issue that we all face or faced.....

We were all sinners........lost, and Hell bound.
Why?
Becasue there is nothing a sinner can do, of themselves, to have their sins forgiven. And if your sins are not forgiven before you die, then you "shall die in them" Jesus said........and you wont be going to heaven in that state of UNFORGIVEN SIN.
Understand?
Its pretty simple.
So..........God understands this unforgiven sin issue we all face or faced..., and offers us the only eternal solution to this problem.

Q.) How can Holy God, accept a SINNER?

A.) = God wrapped Himself in Human flesh, born of a virgin to Offer His own BLOOD AND DEATH as the only WAY a sinner can be eternally forgiven and restored to God, as a born again Son-Daughter of God.

John 14:6

Listen,
God cannot accept sin, therefore God cannot accept a SINNER, in their unforgiven condition........so, HE HIMSELF became the remedy, as Jesus on THE Cross who DIED for ALL our SIN, so that God can eternally restore us unto Himself, as born again, forgiven, justified, and eternally secure.

So. if this has never happened to you , if you have never been forgiven all your sin through JESUS on THE Cross........if you are just water baptized and trying to be good (religious) because some unholy liar in a Pulpit, or on a Forum, on in a YOUTUBE VIDEO has led you to falsely believe that you can """do righteousness""" and get God to accept you, ("when there is NONE Righteous, no not one"")....of themselves........then you are not just deceived, you are on your way to Hell.
Hellbound is what you are........and this can only be changed by GOD = through Christ who offers you FORGIVENESS and Eternal Life as "the Gift of Salvation".

Reader,
God will NOT accept anyone's self effort as a means to save them or keep them.
God rejects your works and your self righteous deceived mind that foolishly believes you can "do righteousness" and find eternal redemption.
It can't be done.
Listen,
God has offered the only WAY back to Himself, John 14:6....as The Cross of Christ and Justification by faith = without works<<.
So, when you find some incredible heretic teaching that you can earn, or work for, or "do good" or any other type of self effort and God will save you, based on YOUR EFFORTS..... then this heretic is leading you away from God's Salvation, because they are doing their father's work.
See, reader....The Devil Himself is well pleased when someone deceives you with the LIE that YOU have the capacity, of yourself, to cause God to accept you.......when in fact, if that was true, then Jesus never had to come here and be tortured for YOUR SIN on The Cross.

Now, maybe you are the person im talking to......= .you simply dont know if you are saved.
You want to be......You want to go to Heaven when you die, but when you look at your past, you dont have that moment in your history when you came to Jesus, understanding you needed to be forgiven.........you needed to be saved.
You just dont have this moment of New Spiritual Birth, in your past History.. .All you have is a water baptism, and a lot of Church Sunday's when you showed up........if you even have those.

So, ive got good news for you. = God wants you to come Home to HIM right now....as He is our HOME....>He is our Etermal LIFE.....>He is our Eternal Salvation...........and this is offered to you as a FREE GIFT.....>"the GIFT of Salvation".
All God wants from you is for you to understand your need of forgiveness of your sin, and come to Him trusting in Christ to be forgiven.
If you will do that, if you will take Christ as your Savior, then God will take you as His eternal Son-Daughter.

Will you come?
Will you Trust in Christ right now so that God can Forgive you, and give you His Eternal Life and His JOY and Peace?

"All who call on the Name of Jesus, shall be saved".

"To as many as believe in Jesus, God gives to them the POWER TO BECOME a Son-Daughter of God".

Dont wait.
Trust in Christ Today, and get your eternity solved, once and for all.

God bless you to do it, today.

Hell is filled with water baptized religious people.

Heaven is reserved for the Born again.


Water is just water.......it cant wash away sin , and if you believe it did, then you are as lost as any other hell bound unbeliever.

See, you have to understand that God's SALVATION is very SPECIFIC..... JOHN 14:6

= God's Salvation is only given to those who come to God by and through Faith in Christ.

NOW......Once you have given God your faith in Christ, .......God will save you.......and now BEING SAVED... you are free to go and do all those works and get in that water baptism........because ALL THAT is signifying your Faith in Christ that you have already given God..

Water baptism is a symbolic situation........and nothing more.

Born again by “Faith & baptism”!

“Baptismal regeneration” is the initiation into the new covenant!
Jn 3:5 cannot enter!
2 pet 1:11 an entrance shall be ministered unto you!

A sacrament is the fruit of the sacrifice of Christ, an outward (visible) sign that signifies what it accomplishes inward spirituality. (invisible) grace washing away sin by the merits of the blood of Christ!

we cannot have the inward action of grace without the outward sacrament of baptism!

Washing ez 36:25-27 zech 13:1 acts 22:16 titus 3:5

Christian baptism is an outward sign of the inward action of grace, or merits of Christ’s passion, blood, and death applied to our souls!

We cannot see the inward action of grace purifying the soul, so God gave us the outward “sign” of water washing the body to indicate the inward action of grace and connected the two.

The sacraments are signs of God’s grace! The sacraments signify what they accomplish!

The grace of justification in the power of the spirit is manifested by the sign of baptism! Jn 3:5 titus 3:5 water and the Spirit!

Jesus Christ is the sign and the sacrament!

*****

The Christian sacrament* of baptismal regeneration is required for the new covenant and salvation!

*this promise acts 2:38-39 is a sacred oath from God ez 36:25-27 and a sacred oath is a sacrament!

Initiation!!!


Faith & Baptism is the initiation of the new and eternal covenant!

You cannot enter on you’re own or by “faith alone”!

You cannot receive Christ or grace by “faith alone”!

“Accept Christ as you’re personal lord and savior” is fundamentalist tradition not found scripture!

Jn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

2 pet 1: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Baptismal regeneration a new creation in Christ! 2 Cor 5:17

A sacrament is an oath! A sacred promise from God! Ez 36:25-27
Acts 2:38-39 (this promise)

No baptism no grace!
No union with God and His saints thru Christ the mediator!

A sacrament is an outward sign for all men including infants And a gift from God to help us see what he does inwardly and invisibly by his grace!

As grace Washes our souls in the merits of Jesus blood from original and personal sin, so the outward action of washing is visible!

without the outward action the inward action cannot take place!

Jn 3:5 Titus 3:5 water and washing
acts 22:16 wash away your sin!

Jn 3:5 Born again BY water and the spirit! Not by “faith alone”!

They did not go to Jerusalem and preach “accept Christ as you’re personal Lord and savior “

They went to the river (water) and they baptized! Jn 3:22

A covenant requires an outward sign of the inward action of grace!

Ez 36:25 I will sprinkle you with clean water and you shall be made white as snow.

Acts 22:16 washing away your sins.

Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism.

1 pet 3:21 baptism saves you.

You cannot enter on you’re own or by faith alone! Jn 3:5

2 pet 1: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,


Baptism!

God breathed life into Adam, gen 2:7 and we received this life from our fathers!

Christ breathed on the apostles our spiritual fathers, we receive the new covenant life of God’s grace from them thru faith & baptism! Jn 20:21-23 Mk 16:16 acts 8:36-38 eph 2

Born again! Born from above!

'The Father has set his seal' on Christ (John 6:27) and also seals us in him (cf. 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:23, 4:30). Because this seal indicates the indelible effect of the anointing with the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of Baptism,

Baptism indeed is the seal of eternal life." The faithful Christian who has "kept the seal" until the end, remaining faithful to the demands of his Baptism, will be able to depart this life "marked with the sign of faith," with his baptismal faith, in expectation of the blessed vision of God - the consummation of faith - and in the hope of resurrection.

St. Paul tells the faithful at Ephesus that they have been “sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.” This is in terms of an indelible character imprinted on the soul in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation. It is not as if this invisible mark is simply decorative. Rather, through it, we are enabled to participate in Christ’s mission and in his offices of priest, prophet, and king. Eph 1:13 and cannot be repeated

Sealed by God eph 1:13 sealed by God (ez 36:25-27) in the church (ark of salvation) by baptism just as Noah was sealed by God in the ark of the flood gen 7:16

1 Pet 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us!
(Ark of Noah a type of the church, member of Christ and his church and salvation by baptism!)
(Outside the ark of Noah none were saved, outside the church (the ark of salvation) none are saved!)

Sealed in the ark, sealed in the church the (ark of salvation) by God thru baptism!


Christ instituted the holy church to teach and sanctify all men unto eternal salvation. (repent and believe the gospel) with the institution of the sacraments to convey grace to sanctify souls by baptism!
Matt 28:19

Reader,
God will NOT accept anyone's self effort as a means to save them or keep them.
God rejects your works and your self righteous deceived mind that foolishly believes you can "do righteousness" and find eternal redemption.

You really are obsessed with OSAS. Nothing you say will ever take away the conditional nature of God’s grace; the condition being our uniting actions.
  • If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
  • If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left. Hebrews 10:26

Initiation!!!

No baptism no grace!

Reader lets look at an issue that we all face or faced.....

We were all sinners........lost, and Hell bound.
Why?
Becasue there is nothing a sinner can do, of themselves, to have their sins forgiven.

God has always been merciful.
And if your sins are not forgiven before you die, then you "shall die in them" Jesus said........and you wont be going to heaven in that state of UNFORGIVEN SIN.

This too is misleading. It's not like God loses His mercy on judgment day. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Your premise is false. Going to heaven? What does that mean? Heaven is for now. The next age is not in heaven but a new earth. And that5 earth will be populated by the those that God has shown mercy. Being a saint in the holy city is a whole other matter.
Understand?
Its pretty simple.
So..........God understands this unforgiven sin issue we all face or faced..., and offers us the only eternal solution to this problem.

A false religious scheme. There is no saved status whereby our ongoing sin is forgiven automatically. You have bought into a religious scheme that is not in the bible. Did you get it from the Mormons?
Q.) How can Holy God, accept a SINNER?

By mercy.

“Baptismal regeneration”


"Baptismal Regeneration" is a Cult teaching created by the Mary Cult.

The Mary Cult teaches in THEIR BIBLE, the Demonic Douay Rheims version, that you are : Born again = "BY water".

But you're not born again by water, you are born again by The Holy Spiirt, and there is no water required.

That you have Falsely labeled the FREE GIFT of Salvation who is JESUS ON THE CROSS as "conditional", is showing us that you are not familiar with God Grace which is the Shed Blood and Death of Jesus. @Wrangler.

Going to heaven? What does that mean? Heaven is for now

You pretend to be a teacher yet you just stated that you have no idea what "going to heaven means".
Im not surprized.

So, ill give yoiu this to consider and you see if you can connect the dots.

A.) Every born again Christian, is currently "seated in Heavenly Places" "in Christ".........so, the born are already there.
All that is left for them, is to receive their New Body that is designed to house their "new Creation in Christ".

Dude. A gift must be received to be a benefit.

No time for Hooker Discrussions today @Wrangler ?

Well, there is always your next post and Thread....


Listen, We are not talking about what you give to your dog or cat, as a treat.
Do you understand this "dude"?...little one?

WE are contemplating Jesus's BLOOD that HE Gave to God so that a sinner like you does not have to die and burn in a Devil's Hell.

That's The Gift., and you dont earn it, and you dont work for it, and trying to be water baptized while keeping commandments, hoping you dont lose it...... is a solid proof that you dont have it yet..........if im talking to you.

God's Gifts, are not like what we give.
God's Gifts have no STRINGS ATTACHED, as they are a part of God's Heart where His unconditional love lives.

Here is where you are totally wrong. Totally wrong. The “string attached” dude is not in the nature of the giver but the nature of receiving. Only the individual receiver has burden here.

And you’re denying our ongoing burden to work, to produce fruit or be thrown into the fire, etc.

Stupid Mary Cuit nonsense.

You dont even read your verses.......you just paste them like some brain dead Catholic Robot.

Listen, your verse, is talking about a very young woman, a widow, who is very young, and specifically about her.
Its not talking to you, unless you are a young woman, and a recent widow who is "off the chain".

@Behold, you say Grace is unconditional. Scripture say there are conditions to God’s Grace. I believe the Bible over what your OSAS obsession.
