Acts 16. 30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
I Jhon 3. 20. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
I belive you know what too do. If not cry out our Lord Jesus Christ name. He will release you. He Loves you with unconditional Love.
And welcome to the site,
Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in a viewpoint and we abandon the spirit and walk in the flesh, It's very easy to end up on the wrong side of the work of God,
The Lord didn't tell us to go out and Preach our viewpoints, He told us to abide in him and to teach and preach the Gospel that saves lives. The Holyspirit reveals truth, Believing or disbelieving in the rapture don't give you the Holyspirit, Salvation Does!! Let's help them with that then their eyes may become open to see whether there's a rapture or not. Apart from the spirit we can't reach NO ONE. The natural man know not the things of God, Let's sow the seed and let God give the increase. Then they will be able to Hear. If you hold the truth that is the way you got it.
God bless you.
There is a phrase used in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and it is the phrase "caught up." The Greek word got that phrase is HARPADZO which is the same as caught up. It means to be snatched away or seized by force. It does not mean that we "fly away."
In fact, this "caught up" is going to happen so fast that we're not even going to know what happened.
The word rapture comes from the Latin word Raptus. But it all means the same thing.
When this happens it is now referred to as grace. Grace found in the same words our Fathers before us had! This is the salvation we have in the hope of our savior Jesus Christ. Much more now we are now sanctified and cleansed, cleansed in his holy blood! This being the requirement of the creator. There can be no forgiveness without the shedding of blood! Christ heals us, makes us holy and perfect before the Father, clothed in White, able to stand before him!
Let's take it from verse 10,
And I will share what I believe verse 12 means.
In verses 10 and 11 Here Jesus says he's in the Father and the Father is in him, And Jesus contribute the work to the Father,
In verse 12 The work that Jesus does and the greater here mentioned here is not greater in quality, It's greater in volume.
That's why Jesus said
BECAUSE I GO UNTO MY FATHER.
Jesus had to go to the Father before he sent the Holyspirit to dwell in them.
Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, UNTIL YE BE ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH.
That power was the Holyspirit and the Apostles ministered with that Power on display to the World.
John 14:10-12. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH THE WORKS.
11: Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO; and GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO; BECAUSE I GO UNTO MY FATHER.
God bless.
No wars , an no " I know more than you " intentions. It scares me on how many good Christian people, believe in Easter , rapture, an of course the apple. My first time here , an my intention was to see if there's an agenda, or a wizard of oz behind the curtain. I truly wish to share , an warn of false teachings, an try to help, share , an show anyone that is willing to dig deep , into truth.
Sincerely
Glenn
Thank you for that revelation!
I went to the scriptures and as you said I seen the italics you mentioned in a few pivotal verses.
Thanks
God bless.
Thanks but no thanks Glenn, but you want find anything here that it seems you already heard.
You presented that question like an invitation to War.
I pray I'm wrong.
God. bless.
Thank you
Glenn
But I think many people are being misled by thinking that God gives them all sorts of different "gifts" when in fact the only gift we are actually given is the gift of the Holy Spirit ( Acts 2:38).
But in our English bibles, we see the word gift or gifts and we associate the word gift with something that is given to us because that's what the English word means.
However, we need to look at those various places in scripture where we see the word gift or gifts where we think it is a gift that's given to us.
First of all, if the word gift is in italics, that means the word gift is not in the original language. The places where it's not in italics, we must look to the original language to see what the word truly is and what it means. Does it mean a gift that is given?
Most often, the word gift will be the word CHARISMA which comes from CHARIS which means expression of grace.
If it is the word DIDOMI, or DOREA, that means a gift that is given. We often see or hear people say God gave them a gift or gifts, but it cannot be backed up with scripture because when they show you in the Bible where it say God gives us these gifts, it is not the word gift as in something given to us.
The only gift given to us is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Everything else is just an expression of God's grace. So if someone says they have a certain gift, it must be backed up with scripture. What word is being used where gift or gifts is pointed out. And if it's in italics, that falls short altogether.
