Ephesians 4:5 1 Corinthians 12:13

Precious Kristianna and Rose, yes, 'water' is, imho, the Most 'Divisive' tradition in denominational christendom, Today. Prayerful And Careful 'study' of God's Word Of TRUTH, Rightly Divided, Indeed shows us "God's Answer" of NO 'water ritual' for us, Today, Under HIS 'Amazing' GRACE, As He Plainly And Clearly 'Teaches' There is 'ONLY' ONE Baptism: Link

Part I

God's Wonderful 'Answer Thus Eliminates' ALL of the following Disagreements And 'Confusion'

1) believe AND be baptized {i.e. immersion to contact their Christ's blood}?

2) immersion with a symbolic interpretation?

3) immersion ONCE in the "name of Jesus?

4) immersion THRICE in the "name of the Triune Godhead?

5) immersion {whether once or thrice} for "membership" in their traditional assembly?

6) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into religion washing away their original sin?

To be continued...

God's ONE Baptism Ephesians 4:5 1 Corinthians 12:13

Part II

God's Wonderful 'Answer of NO water, Thus Eliminates' ALL of the following Disagreements And 'Confusion'

7) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into some covenant?

8) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into their parent's custody that they promise to raise them right? {into Mass Confusion?}

9) sprinkling water on babies, admitting that their ritual is UNscriptural, but "we do it anyway, because it is OUR tradition!"?

10) pouring water onto babies or adults for Whatever traditional reason religion "can come up with"?

11) immersion of young and middle-aged women 'similar' to worldly/ungodly 'wet t-shirt' contests?

12) immersion 'Discriminates' Against ALL "those who CANNOT 'obey' this ritual" ie: the hospitalized, the bedridden, the homebound, the invalids, the traumatized, etc.

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 1Co 13-17, Correct?

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

There is 'ONLY' ONE Baptism: Link

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

Reply to F on Galation 5

lasciviousness meaning looseness, lustfulness, lewd.

Ephesians 4:19 says Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ.

Hi Dean Ephesians 4:29, 5:4 James 3 whole Chapter dealing with power of words.

Brother Chris, man nor anything else can exist without LIFE and there is only one LIFE and that LIFE is Christ.

All creation has CHRIST IN YOU. They believe they have life of and in themselves, their deceived.

If Christ removed himself, man would cease to exist.

Creation's problem is they have no KNOWLEDGE, their void of TRUTH.

Christ came to destroy the works of the devil.

When Christ has put all thing under his feet, God will be ALL IN ALL.

Ephesians 4:6 There is one God and Father of all, and above all, and through all, and IN YOU ALL.

ALL CREATION, but they have no KNOWLEDGE.

Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come upon mount ZION to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the KNOWLEDGE of the Lord, as the ware covers the seas.

Brother Chris You and I and all the elect of God with our brother and Lord, Jesus Christ, are going to CAUSE this to happen when ALL MANKIND is resurrected back to their flesh, and JUDGED by the TRUTH of God's word. And God WILL BE ALL IN ALL.

Please read these:

Hopefully these fully answer your question about Jesus, GOD & The HOLY Spirit.

Sister Donna, may God grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

God is Spirit, spirit cannot be seen.

God wanted to be seen.

God created a BODY that can be seen, and he filled that body with himself. He called that first BODY; MAN, our LORD, Jesus Christ. (God in a body)

The MAN, Jesus Christ, through the POWER of the unseen Father in HIM, created all other things.

Jesus Christ, through the works of the cross, is now creating in each of us this KNOWLEDGE, that we are A BODY, just like he is a BODY, that is filled with HIMSELF, as he is ONE with the FATHER, we become ONE with HIM and the FATHER.

Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery... CHRIST IN YOU ....

Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that worketh IN YOU (HIS BODY) TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

Ephesians 4:4 One body, and ONE SPIRIT ...

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, and above all, and through you all, and IN YOU ALL.

Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the most high.

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

God Bless You.

Brother Bob:

God is SPIRIT, there is only ONE God and only ONE Spirit.

God alone is Holy, therefore God is the Holy Spirit.

Spirit cannot be seen, a ghost cannot be seen, therefore God is the Holy Ghost.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and ONE SPIRIT .......

Brother David, put the verses below together and mediate on them in the spirit.

We are here on earth and the kingdom is within us. Christ is the body that holds the fullness of the Father, Christ is ONE with the Father, a body with LIFE in that body, we are (ONE) the body and Christ is the LIFE in the body.

Colossians 1:27 ....this MYSTERY..... CHRIST IN YOU.....

Ephesians 4:4

Mark 8:35

Matthew 7:14

Christ is the SEED and the SEED, when planted, bears SEED exactly like the SEED planted. Look at the way God has made plants and animals to reproduce, after their LIKENESS. God reproduces no different than what he created reproduces. Jesus is the first (son of god), Jesus is the last (son of god).

Hi Pat In our day and time the goal is to speak the truth in Love Ephesians 4:14 being the [love of God Agapeo],

also Ephesians 4:29. Then Ephesians 5:1+2 this is the Age of Grace where our commission is 2 Corinthians 5 :17-20

we are witnesses of His goodness not to be condemning if they don't believe, that is on them the old saying is if they

want to go to hell that's their problem if they choose not to believe. John 3:16-18. Prayerfully this helps.

Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Sister GiGi:

Ephesians 4:5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism,

Is it water baptism, or Spirit baptism.

Water baptism is just the shadow of the TRUE BAPTISM.

One makes you wet, the other makes you clean.

Hi Jesse That's why I think in the Church Epistles Paul says many places the word let, let this mind be in you which was in Christ, let love be without dissimulation or division, Ephesians 4:26-32, and other places. You don't force push I'm

gonna work hard to do this b.y operating the faith I.E. walking by the spirit God Will work in You both to will and do of His good Pleasure because you have let go 5 senses and let God work. This is my understanding. God bless

Precious friends, thanks for your Valuable? input - did they help 'Solve the Confusion'?:

"the effect of religious not quite rightly divided thinking, communism started after Carl Marx read" Reading Carl Marx does not Solve the reigning 'Confusion' of water today...

"there's only 1 simple option: to be baptized acts 2:38 Isaiah 7:16"

Again, does not 'Solve the Confusion,' but assumes water is "God's ONE Baptism" which IS in effect today, OR: 'Assumes' "Christ baptizes WITH The Holy Ghost" as HIS 'ONE' baptism today? Assumptions don't 'Solve Confusion'...

"obedience and submission, two key words that are not often used these days" Again, another 'assumption' water is in effect, and 'implying obey it or else'... Again, Not 'Solved'...

"a story yesterday that people are flocking to be water baptized...We have the Holy Spirit to help us with the New Birth. Ask Him." Is a 'story' God's Sound Doctrine? Yes, TRUE, The Holy Spirit IS The Teacher, ask Him, 'And' Be Taught By "comparing Scriptural 'Evidence' With ALL SCRIPTURAL 'Evidence,' Correct? Or, just wait to 'hear an Audible Voice' for an answer???

"such an easy command of Christ and expected practice in the apostolic church times to obey. Perhaps many bristle at the thought of any sort of rite or formality in Christian practice." Again, assumptions and accusations bring us No Closer To God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Solving the Confusion' of 10 DIFFERENT 'traditions/rites/practices' of Confused christendom...

to be continued in Part II Conclusion...

Part II God's ONE Baptism Is NOT 'water,' But, IS 'Spiritual'

Conclusion, the question for "2/3 baptismS 'water' adherents" was Not 'answered,' but, God's 'Answer' From ALL Of HIS Scriptural 'Evidence' IS:

"There is 'ONE' Baptism" Ephesians 4:5 1 Corinthians 12:13 ('Spiritual' NOT water...): Link

Precious friends, Please Be 'Richly' Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, And EDIFIED In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And In HIS Word Of TRUTH, Rightly Divided ('Approved' Unto HIM!)

2 Timothy 2:15

Hi Mishael I'm convinced by scripture that what legally God purchased back for us through Jesus Christ when we are walking in fellowship is as it says in Ephesians 4:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly[over and above anything according to His Word] above all we ask or think according to the power [exercised authority dunamis]

that worketh in us. We are in a greater position than Adam because Adam blew it when he sinned, we sin not by purpose

can get forgiveness by confessing broken fellowship and get back on track no other time in History has that been made

possible by our Father God. By the way like you share in the name of Jesus Christ the enemy has been defeated!

Sunny, David penned the Psalms, but they were written by the Spirit Of the Lord (Christ).

2 Samuel 23:1 Now these be the last words of David .....

2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, an his words were in my tongue.

Revelation 19:10 .....I (Christ) am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

It will change the whole way you view God's word when you understand the WORDS in Psalms is CHRIST speaking, not David.

The Lord (Father) is my (Christ) shepherd, I (Christ) shall not want, etc., etc.

Christ is a MAN and dependant in every WAY ON THE FATHER, as we are dependant every way on CHRIST.

Christ said I of my self I can DO NOTHING, the Father does all thing FOR (or through me).

Christ is THE BODY that HOLDS (is filled with the FULLNESS OF HIS FATHER).

We can of our selves DO NOTHING, Christ does all thing FOR (or through us).

We are the BODY that HOLDS (is filled with the FULLNESS OF CHRIST).

A body is just a vessel, that HOLDS: GOD.

Christ HOLDS the FATHER in the (his) Body, we Hold, CHRIST in our body, therefore we are ONE, the temple, were God and the Son dwell WITH US.

Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE body (MAN), and ONE Spirit (GOD).

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of ALL (the body(s), who is above ALL (the body(s), and through ALL (the body(S), and in you ALL (the body(s).

The Father can not be seen, so he made a body that HOLDS SPIRIT that can be seen.

Man HAS to be GIVEN this KNOWLEDGE, grace is a GIFT (given) of God.

Ephesians 4:5 ...ONE Baptism... Precious friends, why is that God's 'Sound' Doctrine, Today, Under God's Amazing GRACE, is being 'Changed' Into TWO baptismS? I believe "God is Not the author of All of the following 'Confusion/Division'" 1 Corinthians 14:33 over water baptism - 10 'Different' kinds of 'traditions' in religious denominations - and the question for "TWO baptismS 'water' adherents" is, which of the following do you Sincerely believe is God's reason you should 'practice this tradition' today, Under GRACE?:

1) believe AND be baptized {i.e. immersion to contact their Christ's blood}?

2) immersion with a symbolic interpretation?

3) immersion ONCE in the "name of Jesus?

4) immersion THRICE in the "name of the Triune Godhead?

5) immersion {whether once or thrice} for "membership" in their traditional assembly?

6) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into religion washing away their original sin?

7) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into some covenant?

8) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into their parent's custody that they promise to raise them right? {into Mass Confusion?}

9) sprinkling water on babies, admitting that their ritual is UNscriptural, but "we do it anyway, because it is OUR tradition!"?

10) pouring water onto babies or adults for Whatever traditional reason religion "can come up with"?

Precious friends, to date no one has shown Plainly And Clearly, From Scriptures, which one

of these traditions God Commands for those of us who believe in The BLOOD And The Resurrection of The LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Would not this 'Confusion' be from the enemy, and "Not from God" 1 Corinthians 14:33 ?

Why are very few 'interested' in "studying This Issue Rightly Divided" in order to find The Real Truth From God's HOLY Word?

Thus, I believe and have spoken - I was once a 'proud denominationalist' but God Caused me to repent, When He Led me to HIS Truth.

ONE Baptism: Link

Hi Gigi Ephesians 4:4 There is one body one spirit, one hope one baptism one faith and one God this is in the Age of grace that we are living in. I myself am not against water baptism but in our Age Romans 10:9+10 is whats written to be

believed and get the job done internally. But if someone feels they gotta do both o.k.

Amen Ephesians 4:15

Timothy This is some heart, when I got born again all of my friends were dopers including guess who. Now all I knew is wow something happened and I didn't want the stuff any more, but I still considered these guys friends I knew them for years. Went to a friends house where they lit up passed it arouncame to me and I said don't need it or want it any more. The fun began why not, are you a narc now are you crazy, if you don't do this we are no longer friends. Then I said I because I was more hurt than anything, at one time none of us did this and we were friends and now that I say I don't want to smoke anymore we're not friends that's insane. I walked out a little confused and hurt but my heart said its O.K.

I did get to witness eventually to all them but of course they considered me nuts.

One of the things to help with deliverance is completely new associations which God can and will provide trust me he did it for me and I'm a nobody. Some additional verses for the mind Ephesians 4:23-32, Philippians 4:6-9, Colossians 3:1-17. I leave you with this, Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His Wonderful Face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace. God Bless

Precious friend, Adam: Is water baptism for us today, Under GRACE? You say about us who 'found an answer of NO,' According To The Scriptures:

"Finally, there's always someone trying to discredit baptism as if they have a force telling them its bad or as if they're afraid of it, or have some kind of personal animosity against it, or fear of public embarrassment? I think this reaction to a direct instruction from Jesus is a noteworthy reaction in itself.

Acts 2:38 - this verse is all I need to see in the Bible. People can use lots of words, can twist things, can use unlimited anecdotes, but none of it matters, because I read Acts 2:38

and I know exactly what it says and since I'm serious about following Jesus I was baptized."

Kind of an unfair statement, is it not, about those of us saved by GRACE Through faith?

1) Which rule of hermeneutics says to build God's Sound Doctrine on 'ONLY one verse'?

2) I believe Scripture says The Holy Spirit is our Blessed Teacher, not 'some force telling us it bad'.

3) We are not 'afraid of it, or have any animosity toward it' IF God Commands it to be practiced today, Under GRACE.

4) IF we studied ALL THIRTEEN Bible baptisms, prayerfully and Carefully, According To all of God's Bible "study" Rules: Link

how is it that we 'Cannot Conclude' That God ONLY 'Has ONE (Spiritual) Baptism' Today, Under GRACE, as per Ephesians 4:5, or should we 'practice Bad Math' and ADD water, men saying TWO, When God Says 'ONE'?

IF This ONE 'Spiritual' Baptism 1 Corinthians 12:13 Is God's OPERATION, THEN why is it not

Scriptural To 'believe' "God Says There is 'NO' water baptism" Today, Under HIS Pure GRACE?

We have Several More Questions for water adherents today, IF they wish to lovingly dialogue with us...

Please, Precious friends, Be Richly Encouraged In God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15 = Ends All 'Confusion'?

Grace, Peace, Mercy, And Love...

Hi Jennifer Gods knows your need better than anyone else, also he knows your heart, these are for the mind to heal, He sent His Word and healed them. Romans 5:1+2 Peace with God, greatest cargoes of life come in over quiet seas.

Romans 8:28-39 more than a conqueror and nothing [think about that] can separate us from the Love of God which was in Christ Jesus our lord. You and God are not at odds anymore he is your Father and fathers meet the need of all His Children.

1 John 3:1+2 Beloved now are we the Sons of God, also 3:20-22 he's there to answer prayer and needs during confusion quilt, condemnation, because he knows we will deal with this stuff.

2 Timothy 1:7 Anything opposite of these three is not of God.



Change your mind change your heart

Put on in the mind Colossians 3:15-17 also Colossians 1:11-14 and Ephesians 3:14-20 notice how many times Christ is mentioned. We were saved by confessing Romans 10:9+10 and at that time we received the spiritual power that raised Him from the dead that why Paul wrote Christ in us the hope of Glory

Ephesians 4:23-32 Putting on the new man in the mind that's why I said change your mind change your heart. Proverbs as a man thinketh in His heart so is he.

Philippians 4:6-9 Be careful for nothing means anxious in verse 6, now verse 13 notice through Christ again that's the power that works in us.

Colossians 1:11-13 we are strengthen with might and we have been made partakers of the saints in light its incredible.

We have been made more that conquerors through Him that loved and loves us and those scripture are part of that. There are over 400 promises in Gods word to us who believe we can only do whar we know and act on.

Prayerfully this helps.

So many comments on the website about false apostles and prophets but how is that possible when some believe the only ministries in the church left are evangelists pastors and teachers, when the word says in ephesians 4:10-16 that all apostles prophets evangelists pastors and teachers notice 5 which biblically stands for grace have been given to the church in the age of grace which has not ended to build up the body of christ which is still being built. Thats an example of picking what we choose to believe instead of letting God speak for Himself.

The disagreement will be that's what makes them false because they should not exist, but that doesn't dictate that there are not in operation correctly just because there are false ones that statement I can make concerning all 5 ministries in the church. Again they are known by their fruits.

Brother David, in the fullness of times, GOD will be ALL IN ALL ( 1 Corinthians 15:28).

Jesus came to visibly show what it means for God to be ALL in ALL, Christ was the first.

Christ is the body ( Ephesians 4:4)(a vessel) that holds ALL GOD IS; therefore Christ did nothing of himself, because a BODY can DO NOTHING of itself, It's the LIFE in the BODY that does the work. ( John 5:19)( John 5:30)( John 8:28).

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (the LIFE) which worketh in you (in the body, the vessel, even in Christ) TO WILL and TO DO his (the Father's) good pleasure.

We are going to be CONFORMED to the likeness of Christ. We are the pot (the body, the vessel) he is the potter.

He is bring his BODY (you and I) to TRUTH. WE do NOTHING OURSELVES ( John 15:5).

When you are BORN of TRUTH, ALL that you are doing is not you THE BODY doing it, but God THE LIFE in you doing the work.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God (TRUTH) doth not COMMIT SIN: for his SEED (CHRIST IN YOU)( Colossians 1:27) remaineth in him (you ARE DEAD (in trespasses) he GAVE you HIS LIFE, you are now the body that HOLDS ALL GOD IS): and he (the one who died to TRUTH), cannot sin, because he is born of TRUTH.

And the TRUTH is:

Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (THE LIFE) which worketh in you (HIS BODY) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

God grace us with eyes to see, God bless you.

Some believe that while Jesus' body was in the tomb, His spirit was in hell.Scripture doesn't support that position when it is taken in context and we look at the meaning of the word "hell." In the Old Testament, the place of the dead or the place of departed souls was called "SHEOL." It was to this place that all souls of the dead went to await resurrection.

In the New Testament, we find the story of Lazarus and the rich man who both died and went to Hades ( Luke 16:19-31). The KJV translates the Greek word "hades" as hell but most other translations use the Greek word. HADES had two separated parts: Those who died in faith believing in God's promise waited for the resurrection in Abraham's Bosom. Those who died spiritually separated from God wait in torment for the resurrection unto death, eternal separation from God. The rich man was on the torment side and Lazarus was in ABRAHAMS BOSOM which was called "PARADISE" by the LORD Jesus Christ himself when He addressed the thief who found faith the day Jesus was crucified ( Luke 23:42-43)

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" ( 2 Peter 2:4). The word translated "HELL" is not the Greek word "HADES" but is the Greek word "TARTARUS" meaning ABYSS or the lowest regions. This could very well be the "gulf" that was fixed between the PLACE OF TORMENT and Abraham's Bosom ( Luke 16:26).

Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fulfill all things" ( Ephesians 4:8-10). Leading captivity captive seems to refer to Jesus taking all those that waited in Paradise to heaven to be with Him. The descending into the "lower parts" then refers to Jesus mission of declaring Victory
