Brother David, I said God uses man (kind) to do his work or will, is not the witch mankind.

You may have remembered Psalm 122:1

Yes me too. Vs 17 strikes home then 18. So how many people actually know the Spirit Of Truth? Who knows in there heart,

that your thought life, is your prayer life. How many people know to keep there thoughts on how to declare the good news about Jesus Christ reconciling us back to Our Heavenly Father Grace. We are the children of the Living God. Jesus said let this mind be in you. The same mind that is Christ. Well what was on Jesus's mind ? What did he DECLARE? That he is the way the truth and the life. So the new creature that we are in Christ is focusing are thoughts on the Lord always. This is are spiritual LIFE! We will resist are carnal minds and forsake the Old ways of thought ,and put on Christ! Paul said I think God I die daily. He was referring to his old ways. Bringing every thought into captivity. Let this mind be in YOU! Sing to Jesus sing aloud a new song. My conscience has witness in the Holy Ghost. The love of God is shed abroad my heart by the Holy Ghost that is given unto us! His spirit bears witness with my spirit that I am his child. Ephesians 1 vs 17, 18 Also be as I am because iam as you should be. Meditate day and night pray without stopping. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. Do the Deeds that modify the body, that is prayer and fasting. Walk the walk and talk the talk. Teach and preach the Good news every where you GO! Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at your hand so it must be within your reach, yes reach out to Jesus , know that he is reaching out to you. And God will make his aboade with you, we are the temple of the Lord, so keep his comments, fight against the devil and he will flee,, put on thee whole body of armor,, tell you evil thought to stop. When they will not stop. Make your drive to Jesus and star preaching Roman's 5,6,7 8-12 . We are vessels of mercy preaching the Truth about Jesus Christ giving his life to die on a cross for you to reconcile us into God's Grace FOREVER God's Property. Love ya

2 Samuel 12:21-23, Matthew 10:28-31, Psalm 139:1-18, hopefully these are encouraging.

Praise the Lord!

Congratulations! You've made the best decision of your life. Your walk with Jesus starts today. If you haven't already seen it, this is a good resource on this site, suggesting further steps after you choose to follow Jesus. God bless you!

Shirley, the bible doesn't provide an exact number of levels of hell. But it does say that some will suffer more than others.

Mark 1:1-14, Mark 1:15, Ephesians 6:15, 2 Timothy 2:8, Mark 1:14, Luke 9:6, Galatians 3:8, It's Good news. Redemption by JESUS for reconciliation to GOD ALMIGHTY. John 3:16,

Hi Tim The commandment are the commandments given by God to Israel that's why in verse 12 the law and commandment are holy and just and still summed up in Mathew to Love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. We are now above the law because walking by the spirit is walking above the law by the spirit of God which fulfills the royal law in mathew.

John 12:1-6, John 13:1-30, Psalm 41:9 (prophecy), John 17:1-12, hopefully these are also helpful in your study.

That is true when God comes and gather all his people (the believers) there will be no one left but the none believers.

Lol, totally!! I was so shocked to see my 94 year old Aunt's Bible from someone that was a copy of this version I was in a lot of prayer & even fear. Some time later after shock wore off I started studying this version. You should read the photocopy pages on the right side column 1611 version by clicking on it!! :) text messages show us how quickly language & spelling can change.

Thanks for the humor it brought a smile

Judas betrayed Jesus for money, because he was a sinner. He had a choice, he made the wrong choice.

We are all born sinners, but we don't have to continue to sin, because sin is the wrong choice.

Romans 5:12

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

Once we hear the gospel of Jesus Christ we now have the same choice - as Judas, we can choose Jesus, or the world. The world consists of money, power, material things, and many ways to sin.

Matthew 6:24

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

I choose God, and hope and pray that you will do the same. Stay close to your bible.

God Bless.

Thank you Brother Earl for sharing your heart and life.

Very interesting, I've never really noticed that, as soon as I thought about what you said: scripture came to mind instantly.

Matthew 25:31-46, I really didn't notice it before so I didn't note if HE always did. I will be more aware of it now.

I'm wondering if HE did that because unlike others HE was the Son of GOD & man; born of woman. Maybe even to emphasize the power HE had, was, is & is to come. If HE had simply said "when I come back._._." then people might have argued more with HIM about impossibilities, instead of listening to HIM, also they may have thought of HIM only as fleshly being. Just a thought

Thank you Brother Carleton, now I understand what you are asking or saying.

Where do we as bearers of light start. We can not TRULY start anywhere until we ourselves know TRUTH.

Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two fold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Mark 8:15 And he charged them saying, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Our churches send out men that have no spiritual knowledge and make converts like themselves, converts with no spiritual knowledge.

We as light bearers are to start with those God places in our path. If someone ask you for money give it to them, with no expectations. If they are hunger fed them, with no expectations, if they steal you coat give them also your cloak, with no expectations, if they physically abuse you lift not your hand, if they verbally abuse you lift not your voice.

People see more than they hear.

Doing these things on a day to day basis will cause them to ASK concerning your actions, now you can plant a SEED, and that may be all you ever do, but God will CAUSE that seed to be watered by someone else.

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the FULNESS OF TIMES (more than the lifespan we live) he might gather together IN ONE all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, IN HIM.

My two grandmothers were exact opposites of each other, one PREACHED heaven and hell to me on a daily basis, the other never said a word but live a visible life of Christ, guess who impacted my life the most.

Nothing in this world is worth turning our back on Jesus Nothing!

Whatever worldly material things we can see and touch mean nothing. Everything came out of this earth. Cars, houses, gold/silver diamonds, steak dinner, swimming pools everything. Whatever came from the earth can and will go back into the earth. All of us will also die and go back to the earth. Everything goes back to the earth! God said he will destroy this earth and create a new one.

This life and everything in it is futile. We think we have things, but we really don't. It's all a mirage.

Remember when the devil tried in vain to tempt Jesus:

Matthew 4:8-10

8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

I too choose to worship God, and pray that the Holy Spirit will help me and others to put this world in the right perspective.

God Bless.

Bro Dan

I find it remarkable you are so on fire for God and so full of errors too , how can that be ?

Precious friend, Louie, we are "born from the Spirit Above" upon "hearing The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of GRACE, and "believing It With All of our heart!" Immediately!!

In verses 7-13 the commandment is referred to. What commandment is this?

Cessationism is a false doctrine, please read Matthew 13:31-32 Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven

To Say everything closed at the end of the apostolic age would mean that salvation is also closed

Your statement has is not in harmony

Number 23:19 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

3 layers of truth ?

He needs to study his bible more , God is unsearchable . And his ways past finding out .

Leave it to man to limit God to their own standards .

Brother Jesse,

You state: "I don't believe there's any special formula for salvation other than surrendering to Christ and receiving His Spirit."

Respectfully, I think there is more to it than you expressed, and I believe Jesus does have "a special formula", and it is outlined throughout the bible. I say this so others will not take lightly their salvation, and hopefully they will study the scriptures on their own, to satisfy themselves that they are really following God's requirements "per the bible scripture."

John 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."

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

1 John 5:3

"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

John 14:21

"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

Jesus tells us that he will be our Judge, and he tells us what he will be looking for in us in order to enter into the Kingdom: Revelation 22:12-14

God Bless.

Brother Earl, The thought that I wish to convey since we know that the Bread of Life which came from Heaven, can we as commanded teachers of the Gospel say to the hungry go and be fed (fulfilled) or should the teacher help turn the hungry to the ingredients by the needed recipe to be fed?

For the thought of an example lets say the hungry in a particular case may be a 14 year old boy in Haiti. What ingredients of the recipe might we supply to this youth or would we just say Jesus is the Bread of Life, You must know Him and go our own way?

What is the order in earth for the one who knows Jesus Christ to teach?

There is no way in the order of this earth meaning my flesh for me to end up with a finished product without preparation and following the instructions and the sweat of the brow.



In meditation...

Part I

1Co 12:13 Is there Only 'ONE' ( Eph 4:5 ) Baptism, Today, Under God's Pure GRACE?

Precious friends, 'water' seems to be Getting More 'Confusing' by the day; ie:

One asks "why does most of the Christian world ignore Acts 2:38?" Answer?: Most Do Not 'ignore' it, But Do take it Out of Context, Change it, and Misinterpret it, and Misapply it, causing 'Confusion.'



Another to an noncommited saint: "I was baptized twice. No one ever said you can't be baptized more than once and continually recommit yourself to being a follower of Jesus Christ. Some people do this in marriage as well and I see value in it.

It's possible you have already done this, but since you didn't mention it, and since you said this has bothered you for 48 years, if you have still doubts and regret about your past actions why not recommit today and be baptized again?"

It's ok for babes In CHRIST to have this 'Confusion' as I have been there, being 'watered' THREE times. Further, IF we 'backslide,' there is No 'recommitment' with a second 'washing,'

{since water is not for us in Part II}, But, in Committing Anew Daily by "presenting our bodies a living sacrifice" to The LORD! Amen? Rom 12:1-2

Further, As CHRIST Only "Died On The Cross 'Once,' when we 'believe Once,' we are "Forgiven All sins 'Once,' And, By The 'ONE' Baptism By The Spirit Is Only Done "Once,"

Placing/Inducting/Transferring us Into The Body Of CHRIST, For Eternity!! Amen?

See More "ONE"s For God's "Revelation Of HIS Mystery" as we, hopefully, all "Endeavour to keep the Unity Of The Spirit In The Bond Of Peace!" in Eph 4:3-6

Sad to say that this Unity/Peace is Not Found In the division and strife in "traditions of denominations" today, Correct? Is not JESUS "Also sad" about this? 1Co 1:9-10

Praise God For HIS Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2Ti 2:15, Which Cancelled All of my 'Confusion' about "water, tongues, healings, miracles, end times, etc." Amen?

to be continued in Part II

Brother Louie,

Based on scripture spoken by Jesus, it happens when you accept and believe that Jesus is your Savior, receive water baptism, and then receive God's Holy Spirit. = Born Again. Please see scripture below:

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?

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.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Hope this helps you.

God Bless.

How many parts pf hell are they

Part II

1 Corinthians 12:13 God's ONE Baptism for The Body Of CHRIST, Under GRACE/Mystery:

Precious friends, Please Be Encouraged/Edified in This Important "study" of three baptisms:

God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:

1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve Were Sent to water baptize!

The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =

A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" if you wish...} Mat 3:5-6 Mrk 1:4 Luk 3:3 John 1:31 Luk 7:29-30 Acts 10:37 Mat 28:19

Mrk 16:16 Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Eze 36:25 John 18:35 Exo 19:6 +

B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! Isa 44:3 Mat 3:11 Mark 1:8 Mark 16:17-18 Luke 24:49 Acts 2:17-18 Acts 2:38 Acts 8:15-17 Acts 11:16

Prophecy/Law

Rightly Divided 2Ti 2:15 From Things That Differ!:

2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:

Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?:

Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In The ONE Body Of CHRIST!! Eph 4:5 Col 2:12 Gal 3:27 Rom 6:3-4

1Co 12:13

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

Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the sinner "believes in CHRIST, that He died and rose again, and God saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.

Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!

Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

Precious friends, Please be Richly Encouraged, enlightened, exhorted, and edified!"

2Ti 2:15 Rom 16:25 Eph 1:3-9 Eph 3:9 = Grace/Mystery 'fellowship,' for All to "See," today?

God's 'Simple' Will: Link

Amen Brother Jesse!

Hi louie If you confess with your heart innermost part of your being it is not mental accent its not like going to get a glass of water its more like digging the well to get to the water needed and you can't live anymore if you don't do this and really believe then you confess Romans 10:9+10 and then as you reach out the father works within and trust me you will know because he will make it known to you.

Brother Earl God did not communicate with the witch scriptural proof 1 Samuel 28:6 and when Saul inquired of the lord the lord answered him not neither by dreams nor nor by urim nor by prophets.
