Hi Carol. Leviticus chapter 13 is a chapter that fully describes the disease of leprosy & its aftermath.

Beware of anyone in this thread trying to minimize the importance of baptism or try to make it mean something other than what the Bible says. Motives are in question. Verses like this are very clear to understand: John 3:5

This site has a page about it with many verses: Link

God bless...

I don't understand what doing works is

Hi Dgjot,

Even though it seems hard to believe, according to stats only 50% of the world uses the internet and only 65% have access to it. I live in the US and people assume everyone is connected here, but that's not the case even here. Many rural areas where you can't even get a cell signal either. Many who didn't grow up with it aren't interested in using it. There's even groups in the US that intentionally live without power and without TV. And this is much more so in other countries. Consider North Sentinel Island, where there are people living there who have zero contact with the outside world.

If you've heard of Ray Comfort he does lots of street evangelism in urban areas like Los Angeles and even there, a % of the people don't know who Jesus is. Sounds hard to believe, but you may have to see it for yourself.

So, with these considerations, I do not believe everyone knows who Jesus is. I would say even of those who have heard something about Him, I would estimate that most may have distorted or inaccurate info.

I have heard missionaries say that it is far easier to tell people about Jesus in other regions, like in Africa, in comparison to developed nations that have misinformation already planted. But that doesn't mean we should give up. I personally think showing you care is step one, and if they are interested in you a door might open where they are willing to hear your views. Also, people in need seem to be more open as well, such as homeless. They need God where as others who are more established often assume they don't. There is a lot of information online with memes and it seems like memes, video clips, music, books, and arts seem to be the most influential in my opinion. So, I think spreading the gospel is still a valid pursuit and may take different forms depending on the audience.

OK Rick thanks for your input.GBU

Baptism is simply but its hidden from the wise and prudent,But revealed unto BABES and SUCKLINGS WHICH are the H.G.

The ChildREN of PROMISE....When he was yet on the cross he was calling for Elijah to come and turn the hearts of the

Fathers to the Children....Which are his Children that are gonna be born in us via his seed the words of the new covenant.

Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....The Kingdom does not come till

the woman gives birth to the Children which is a baby Christ in us. The Son of Man, The man child that is gonna rule all

nations. Which is the H.G....Jesus said when he the spirit of truth is come ( the manchild the H.G. ) he will reprove

the whole world of sin and righteousness and judgement ....k

Alex N. Peter was not saying that the blood isn't pure, look at his thinking hearing about John the Baptist

from Jesus Christ himself and raised in the Judean law my mind would be saying got to have water and

circumcision. In the book of Acts God Had to show Him a Vision to Go to the gentiles house for them to be

born again because the Judeans considered them basically pigs. So your dealing with a transition period in

understanding but not in Heart. I believe and see the same thing today people believe god in their hearts but

need help in understanding.

Jesus knew that all of his disciples had been water baptised , but he warns them if i wash thee not you will

have no part with me....Just think of that he tells his own disciples if i wash thee not you will have NO part with me

And they had all been water baptised previously.....Which speaks volumes of a greater baptism of the H.G. the new

covenant is a blood covenant .The bood of the lamb is what initiates the new covenant not water....There has to be a birth

of Christ in US thats y he always refers to himself as the SON OF MAN....MANKIND HAS TO HAVE A BABY CHRIST

That great Promise was multiplication of his seed meaning he is gona be the father of the H.G. When he breathe

on them he was propagating very God in them thats y he says to whom the WORD CAME IT MADE THEM GODS....

Remember when God made that 2 nd Promise in Gen 22 : 15....God Almighty swore by him very self impling Gods

plural as the stars of heaven...Don'cha see that the baptism of Promise is the multiplication of very God. The H.G.

8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think these two verses have caused a lot of distress to believers. And what does "delivered thy soul" mean?

New "Christians" who aren't even grounded in the word or instructed on how to act, go out try to witness without even knowing enough to back up what they are talking about. This is the fault of the Church, who just sends them out half- cocked. You can tell someone about Jesus and salvation but you can't coerce, persuade, scold, bully, mock or beat someone into believing.

In this day and age, no one is looking for Jesus except those that already know Him. The Gospel is available in book form. (a.k.a. The Bible, and it's many watered down versions. I started out with a Living Bible and graduated to the KJV.) You can buy a KJV at Dollar Tree for a dollar. Then there's the T.V. and internet.

Jesus sent His disciples out to spread the Gospel, but He also gave them power to perform miracles to back up what they were saying. Today's believers don't have that kind of power. But, we do have an abundance of false preachers and snake oil salesmen, who do a good job deceiving people.

Trying to witness to today's unsaved reprobates is a complete waste of time. I'm not unwilling to witness. I'm afraid to, so I leave tracts lying around. (When I remember to stuff some in my pockets and take them out.)

Grace ambassador There's a major difference between what your stating and asking God what to do specifically.

I understand that to be Born Again Romans 10:9+10, but what I shared was no compromise, if God tells me to

walk into a forest with someone to get them peaceful in their hearts and mind to receive then that's what I'll do.

Sort of like marching around a certain wall called Jericho and blowing trumpets to knock down a fortress. It

worked because God told Him what to do and he told the people and they obeyed something that made no sense!

Gods Ways are not ours someday we'll believe this stuff. Prayerfully this explains it.

Daniel triana,

The name Cephas is from the Aramaic word kepha for rock or great boulder. The name Peter is from the Greek word petra, which also means rock. Peter is Aramaic Kepha for rock/stone. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus called Simon, Peter, and in John 1 and other New Testament books he is mentioned as Cephas. Simon's name in Hebrew meant listen or hearing, I would give the Greek meaning but that may start a debate. If you see Simon, Simon Peter, or Cephas it is the same man, one of the apostles of Jesus.

God bless,

Hi Micheline Human conscience is habit patterns either taught or picked up good or bad from the world around

us. Now when we're born again we have a perfect spiritual man in us but our minds are still dealing with corrupt

habit patterns that get changed as we read the word and do by continual practice of change our habits lives to

line up with Gods Word. If I a mature Christian walking in the Love of God am told by God to go to a bar and dance

is there any harm no. If God tells you to do that to speak his word to some specifically does that mean if they

offer you to drink a lot do you partake. NO The reason being is your there to speak the truth in Love, which means

bringing them up to your level never the opposite. That's where self control in all things comes into play. We bring

them up to our level that's the love without condemning them because there already lost and blind. That's was one

of my personal spiritual mistakes at first for me if you don't believe God your screwed up. That's a given if they don't

know the true God and His Sons love. We teach in meekness and humility.

When I became a believer not thinking anything about it I went to a friends house and as the habit

pattern was fire up some dope pas around and get ripped, well when they passed it around I said I don't want or need it anymore. Thinking that would be the end of it wrong, instantly are you a narc, stupid, crazy, which I replied no I just

decided that its not best to to it any more according to God. The fun began Jesus Freak etc. then I said all of you have

known me for years and because I choose to stop doing some thing that we all know isn't really good for us I,m

crazy, that is insane. So I said if that's actually how your thinking have a nice life, never spoke to any of them again.

Most of them are dead, but that's on them I spoke the truth and never condemned them how can

you when you were doing the same thing

Alcohol is a tool the devil uses too make people think drinking occasionally is ok ask any alcoholic if they started out intending on becoming an alcoholic things happen in life and if that is part of your life it's easy too get tangled in that web too ease your pain instead of turning too Jesus I went down that road for 19 years and was set free and delivered by Jesus Christ in 2003 have had no alcohol since Satan is a deceiver.

Thank you so much , I really needed to hear that very simple truth right now .

For years I have heard that if believers of Christ (the saved, the redeemed, the elect) don't tell the lost about Jesus and salvation through him, that we/they will be punished.

For hundreds/thousands of years missionaries and preachers have spread the gospel by mouth and on foot. Then came the printed word. Then came telegraphs, telephones, radio, television, dvd's and the internet. This is 2021. I don't think there's anyone in the entire world that hasn't heard of Jesus in some way, shape or form.

I'm worried about my neighbor. She's old and a (non-practicing)Catholic. I tried telling her about Jesus and she replied, "I'm Catholic". She's a very stubborn woman who, once she gets an idea in her head, she can't be persuaded otherwise.

We can warn people but we can't make them believe. Why do I feel so uneasy?

Precious friends, I Certainly 'apologize' for the " 1 Co 13 - 17" ERROR; 'should' be:

"God is Certainly 'NOT the author' 1 Corinthians 14:33 of all this "carnal DIVISION" which is 'similar' to what Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians 1:9-13 1 Corinthians 1:13-17 ('fixed'), Correct?

And (a 'Rick {'doing a blend'} addition' here?):

Again, our 'choice' = participate in this ('blended'?) 'Confusion' or believe God, Today, Under GRACE =

There is 'ONLY' ONE Baptism: Link

All the water in this world cannot remit our sins .Nothin but the blood can wash away our sins . the living word , Thats y he is saying you are made Clean by the WORD ( THE LIVING WORD ) That i have spoken unto you My WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE LIKE HIS BLOOD. And its no wonder simply b/c Jesus was the living word made flesh and blood....Unless ya eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you....The Ear tries words just like the mouth tastes meats.

Correction should have read Acts 11 : 16 Not John 11 : 16. Plz forgive

Peter was commanding water baptism even after that God had baptised them with the H.G. the only baptism that can make us clean .The only baptism of PROMISE ,Peter was in essence saying that the blood didn't make them Clean

he was impling they needed water baptism the blood was insufficiant which was a slap in the face of God and the lamb of God....Thats y the lord rebuked peter 3 times with that sheet with all the unclean animals which was the Church that made

Clean that was knit at the 4 corners as the blood of the lamb is knit with the 4 gospels .All the unclean animals in that sheet was The Church that was made clean by the blood of the lamb not water baptism that peter was commanding....But after that Peter understood the vision he says then remembered I the Words Of our lord ..John baptised you with water but i will baptise you with the H.G. AND FIRE.. John 11 : 16 KJV...When Peter was commanding water baptism he was impling they were not made clean by baptism of the .H.G. THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE CROSS, HIS BLOOD ETC

Thats y the lord was so upset with Peter,..Peter should have been preaching behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world not Johns water baptism .Even Paul was reluctant to preach water baptism saying it wd make the blood of no effect....And I understand that ....Even in the O.T. blood had to be applied to the doorpost not water, But the BLOOD IS NOW APPLIED TO THE DOORPOST OF OUR HEARTS. VIA HIS WORDS THE SEEDS OF THE SOWER THE LIVING WORDS OF GOD...As his words are the blood spritually speaking...Thats y he is saying you are made clean by the word

i have spoken unto you...As Jesus was the living word made flesh and BLOOD...Every day is communion under the new covenant. ...Thus every day is passover under the New Covenant....Behold i make all things New

I have been getting poor grades in school and my parents are mad at me I need gods help in giving me the power of knowledge amen

Hello Gloria,

I looked in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 for the two genealogies given for Jesus. The bible notes for Luke 3 say that some think that this genealogy is linked to Mary's.

David, thank you so much for your response concerning 1 Corinthians 10, 21, 30. I need deeper understanding. I understand it is not for our conscious but for other who is offering the food. Am I correct? Can you provide another example?

Thanks So Much Precious 'S Spencer' for your ENCOURAGING Reply

"Amen Grace,

Well spoken!

God bless."

Looking forward to seeing you in God's Great GloryLand! God Bless you RICHLY!!

God is Good, all the time. He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler. Do not put your trust in men/women. They will often let you down. Trust Him!

Where in the old testament does it talk of the priests evaluation blemishes on the skin.

Chris Just to clarify I never said not to do it I stated not necessary to receive power from on High by Being

born again of the Spirit. The reality is the book of acts is the Transition book from end of the Law period to Age

and there waa overlapping of practices until the apostle Paul by Gods Grace Believed and Jesu Christ showed

in practice the Spiritual walk in the age of grace. That being shared if some one wants baptized o.k. if not o.k.

whatever as long as they confess Romans 10:9+10 and believe and do the word. Just sharing some heart.

Please pray for myself, wife and children to do God's will
