It looks like T. Levis already shared scriptures about it.
The concept of 3 in 1 is challenging as we as humans lack examples in our world that is similar to that. I believe we have a hard time comprehending anything not in our earthly experience. But we trust what God's word says. Since it says "these three are one" in 1 John 5:7-8 we trust what it says. Some people nitpick and question "but HOW 'one' are they?" and some argue that they are more separate than one, or vice versa. I think as soon as people start reinterpreting the Bible to fit what they want to believe, they are being deceived and are deceiving others. It takes faith and trust to believe the Bible, so in 1 John 1:1 where it says the "Word was God" there is no question what that means, because in verse 14 it says the Word was Jesus. Jesus = God. But same with Father = God, and Holy Spirit = God. 3 are one. God the Father is most commonly referred to as 'God' and I believe this is part of the source of confusion, as well as Jesus is called 'Lord' and Lord also meaning God. Sometimes God is plural, like 'we' in Genesis 1:26.
To what extent are they 'one' and to what extent are they 'three'- we don't know that. It could be like 3 personalities of 1, or it could be like an orange where you have the skin, pulp, and seeds, but each is still an orange. I don't know the right analogy, but I trust what God says in the Bible to be true and do not trust humans who try to twist it into something else.
God bless...
John 1:1-5, John 10:14-17, John 10:28-30,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study for truth & understanding.
I was reading in Genesis, the Holy Spirit stops me on verse 1. He said the 4 things
TIME: in the beginning__God set TIME ticking
FORCE: The Godhead created. (Father, The Word ( John 1:1) and Holy Spirit
ACTION: and the Spirit of God MOVED over
MATTER: earth, waters, atoms
God purposed, Word spoke: Light Be, and there was Light. (Purpose Spoke Light)
Carbon dating proves earth is around 2-3 billion years. Satan was around but he's a created being himself. He cannot create dinosaurs, cavemen or anything. My personal theory is: Romans 1:19-20. God put the artifacts in earth for us to find; oil for our cars, coal to be warm, fresh water for us and salted water for creatures.
We have to pray for scientists to see the Book of Romans. It's an occupation, as is archaeology, bio science, medicine. We are without excuse if we refuse to acknowledge The Godhead.
They're going to flip out when they get to heaven and see it's lighted up by the Glory of Jesus (The Son) and not a sun.
Jesus wants us to know this stuff because THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR TEACHER. All we have to do is ask Him. It's not a secret.
I don't discuss the giants because angels do not marry. We will be as the angels in heaven, in that we will not marry or procreate. Survivors of the entire Tribulation who have received Jesus as savior and managed to survive alive without mass murder by Antichrist will be taken to heaven in human reproducing bodies for 1000 years. They'll have to resist satans deceptions when he gets a short parole to tempt the still human. :D then Satan goes to the lake of fire forever. O happy days!
These present troubles are just temporary. Let's spread the Word to the Harvest and get as many in as we can. We're going to be living with The God that purposed all of this!
This was my Bible Study time with my Teacher, Holy Spirit, ok? Save the emails.
Matthew 4:16 ) ( John 1:48 ) ( John 7:49 John 7:52 ) and is a true character of all the people of God before conversion, who are in a state of darkness, under the power of sin, shut up in unbelief; are in gross ignorance of themselves, and their condition; of sin, and the danger they are exposed to by it; of divine and spiritual things; of the grace of God; of the way of peace, life, and salvation by Christ; and of the work of the blessed Spirit; and of the truths of the Gospel; they are in the dark, and can see no objects in a spiritual sense; not to read the word, so as to understand it; or to work that which is good; and they "walk" on in darkness, not knowing where they are, and whither they are going; and yet of these it is said, they have seen a great light,
Christ himself, who conversed among the Galilaeans, preached unto them, and caused the light of his glorious Gospel to shine into many of their hearts; by which their darkness was removed, so that they not only saw Christ, this great light, with their bodily eyes, but with the eyes of their understanding; who may be called the "light", because he is the author and giver of all light, even of nature, grace, and glory; and a "great" one, because he is the sun, the greatest light, the sun of righteousness, the light of the world, both of Jews and Gentiles; he is the true light, in distinction from all typical ones, and in opposition to all false ones, and who in his person is God over all. They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death;
I'll post how to access this website commentary box separately, so look for it.
On GOOGLE: [type this way] your scripture, Bible commentaries
I like BibleRef, BibleHub
Here is scripture & thought on the matter for deeper questions that are taught on this issue.
Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:7,8,15,16,18,21,22,23,24, notice in Genesis 1:27-28, says male & female & have dominion over & subdue over the sea, air, and living thing that moveth on the earth. Then HE put 'the man" in garden. Was this a certain man & his wife seperated in a special garden? Notice in Genesis 1:29 all fruit from every tree was good for meat. However in the Garden that HE planted Genesis Genesis 2:8-9, he put the man he had formed & breathed life into him & he became a living soul. Genesis 2:7,
Genesis 4:15 presence of other people,
Hebrews 13:8, John 1:1-5, Leviticus 18, establishes GOD's law, James 1:13-16,
Luke 1:69, Psalms 89:24-27, Titus 2:11-12, Hebrews 5,
Genesis 4:25,26, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, one lineage from Adam to Seth to Jesus recorded lineage of redemption Matthew, we are adopted heirs through Christ, Ephesians 1:5
Many agree this lineage was significant to show fall of mankind & redemption
John 21:25
Hopefully this is helpful to your question.
,
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. [represents God wrapped in human flesh]
1 John 4:14
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
John 14:7 [Jesus speaking]
"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
As you stand for what you believe in I will do so as well. It's natural that We clash considering what we believe in!!
You and I went over your thoughts on scripture months ago. I pointed out an error in your interpretation of what seems to be your foundation verse, Which we have seen you do from time to time,
We also have to be visual and beware of methods from what the Bible calls enemies of the faith. Because of their Doctrine or practices They set traps.
These verses come to mind .
2 John 1:10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:.
Jude 1:3-4. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 8:11 The parable is this, THE SEED is the WORD of God.
John 1:14 And the WORD was made flesh...
Jesus is THE SEED
SEED always multiples ITSELF, if a single wheat seed is planted, it multiples into multiple SEEDS that are exactly like THE SEED planted.
Christ is THE SEED and being planted IN YOU, you become SEED exactly like THE SEED planted.
Christ is the HOLY GHOST.
Mary was impregnated by the HOLY GHOST (the seed), and the Holy Ghost (the seed) was born flesh (CHRIST).
We (the woman, Christ wife) are impregnated by the Holy Ghost (CHRIST) and we will DELIVER a CHILD (SEED) exactly like the SEED planted.
Isaiah 59:21 AS for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, or out of the mouth of THY SEED, nor out of the mouth of thy SEED'S SEED, from hencefoth and forever.
I AM the first (SEED) and the last (SEED).
Let US make MAN in our IMAGE.
Ephesians 2:10 We are his workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus......
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are CREATED: thou renewest the face of the earth.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God- the Word was God! The Word became flesh (Jesus Christ) and dwelt among us. Read John 1:1-14
The bottom line God said I am alpha and omega (first and last) it is natural for us not to understand how someone can be first and last but spiritually we are able to discern if someone is first and last all they are stating the are the only one.
Jesus was God manifest (clearly shown) in the flesh, there are three manifestation of God but there is only one God and his name is Jesus!
Some Christians follow God's morals only to the point where it conflicts with the world's morals, then proceed with the world's morals instead. The result is following the world ( 1 John 2:15).
Despite Acts 2:38 saying to be baptized, some say "don't" be baptized.
Despite John 14:6 saying to go to Jesus, some say to go through a 'prophet' or pope.
Despite James 4:17 saying to avoid sin, some claim it's bad and 'legalism' to avoid sin.
Despite Psalm 139:13 saying unborn babies are special, some claim killing them is ok.
Despite Ezra 7:13 saying people have freewill, some claim they "don't" have freewill.
Despite Matthew 7:13 saying most people will go to hell, some say most will "not" go to hell.
Despite Matthew 10:28 warning us about hell, some say "there is no hell."
Despite 1 Timothy 2:12 saying women shouldn't teach, some say they "should."
Despite Leviticus 20:13 saying homosexuality is a sin, some say it's "not" a sin.
Despite John 15:10 saying to obey, some say it's ok to "not" obey.
Despite John 1:1 saying Jesus (the Word) is God, some say Jesus is "not" God.
Despite 1 John 5:7 saying 3 are one, some say the 3 are "not" one.
The rationalizing pattern seems to be: "No, the Bible doesn't say [what it actually says], but says [something I'm more comfortable with]". This format seems awfully similar to Genesis 3:4 where satan says "Ye shall NOT surely die." Satan is called the father of lies for a reason and some Christians assume they are immune to it.
Rationalizing the world's morals over God's morals seems to require ignoring scripture. Does anyone agree?
So, should we follow God's Word or man's word (which might be satan's word)?
God bless...
Lord you said in Joel 2:25, 32
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath Eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:"
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[Ask the Lord to renew your faith as you read your Bible]
Your first reading assignment:
Satan tried to destroy Job's faith and trust in God. He took his home, animals, all his kids died in a wicked storm ( Job 1) Jobs health hit rock bottom; his friends accused him:
In the last chapter, God gave him back ten times more than what he lost.
Grow your faith consuming scripture. Keep coming back here for fellowship; till you find a church that teaches Bible.
While Peter was arguably the most impulsively outspoken disciple and unofficially considered a leader among the disciples, The LORD expressed this verse in such a way as to distinguish Peter from the Church's True and Actual HEAD, namely, LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF.
The proper name Peter translates from the Greek proper noun (transliterated "Petros"; pronounced "PET-ros"), meaning a stone or a small rock. Compare The LORD addressing Simon (Peter) as recorded in John 1:42: "When JESUS beheld him (Simon Peter), HE said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas {the Greek rendering of the Aramaic}, which is by interpretation, A stone {Grk. noun "petros"}." From that point on, Simon (the Greek rendering of the Hebrew proper name Simeon) was commonly addressed by the surname Peter (a stone or small rock).
By great contrast, when The LORD proclaimed, "upon This ROCK I will build MY Church", HE identified HIMSELF as the Church's ROCK. Here, the word "ROCK" translates from the Greek noun root (transliterated "petra"; pronounced "PET-ra"), meaning a rock of immense and formidable size which covers a massive geographical footprint (cp. Mt. 7:25-25; 27:60; Mk. 15:46; Lu. 6:48; 8:6 & 13). The reader may think of the Rock of Gibraltar in contrast to a pebble.
Additionally, "PETRA" never refers to Peter, but always identifies LORD JESUS CHRIST (cp. Rom. 9:33; 1Cor. 10:4; 1Pet. 2:8).
walk by the spirit 4hrs. a day that would be an accomplishment because that's saying you were at the right place at the right time where God wanted you to be and you said the right words with the right expression, with right compassion and the right tone that God wants and you did what he said to do at that moment the way He wanted it done. Now that is
walking with no sin, and if you can actually do that my hats off to you. That's why our sin nature was paid for by our Brother Jesus Christ to pay for the sins we will commit unintentionally after were born again. In the Gospel of John 1:29 it says behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, why doesn't it say sins because it was a complete
one time payment for past present and future for those who believe. Last but not least this is one of my favorite verses
Jude 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling and to present faultless before the presents of His Glory with exceeding joy,[ It was great joy for Jesus christ to pay for us to present us spiritually with no fault unbelievable but true] So bottom line you choose what you want to believe but i'm not living as if a make a false move I'm toast
God Bless
keeps His Promises and His word is true When we are[ born again spiritually] confess Romans 10:9+10 we are freely given holy spirit and all sin old
nature acts or actions are paid for in full. Committed renewed mind believers sin or break fellowship but not on purpose
we confess the broken fellowship and get back on track 1 John 1:8+9 The believers who for awhile stand then get caught up in the things of the world again and will eventually go back to their old man nature a dog wallowing in its own vomit
2 Peter 2:20-22 ways of the world. The guy who tricks people into that is satan by deception. We will all that are born again be rewarded for the time we stood on the word and all the other works will be burned up 1 Corinthians 3:12-15. That's what Jesus Christ paid for in this age of Grace of the Church, its like being given a full box of mechanics tools, some will put the gift to full use others will commit for a while others will commit a lifetime, God new that and still kept His promise. In the eyes of God we are saints his children period. P.S. I don't listen to her because there's a lot of stuff not kosher. God Bless
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Romans Chapter 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Philippians 3:2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
1 Timothy 6
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1 Timothy 1:9-10
1 John 1:6
1 Timothy 2:2-6
2 Peter 3:10
I am praying for you! I believe you will see a move of God in your life! This is what it takes, desperation. When we are so tired and disgusted with our sin and we cry out to God, He will help us! I am living proof of that.
But after God delivers you, you must fill your temple with things of God. That means going to a solid Bible only church, hearing The Word, reading The Word, memorizing The Word, living The Word. Jesus is The Word, John 1:1. Or those devils will come back seven fold.
Drinking and gambling are both strongholds of satan. And i pray right now that God The Father will break those strongholds from off of your life! I ask this in the name of The One who gave it "all", Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5 and Titus 1:9 and Matthew 7:15 suggests that we are to challenge false teachings.
This should be done in love and respect for others. It appears that some want to be able to post their various opinions to challenge others, but don't seem unwilling and perhaps not secure enough to have their ideas challenged. They seem to want to dominate with their falsehoods, but act offended and retreat in the slightest questioning of their assumptions. Some interpret even the most benign questions as argumentative or unloving, which seems to protect their narrative.
For example some don't believe John 1:1 is true. It's a strange distortion of the Word that seems only recently to have gained traction among fringe groups. We know that anyone contradicting scripture is not speaking Words from God, and if it's not from God, it should be obvious who its coming from. But many are so convinced in their own mind that all scripture viewed through that narrow lens offers confirmation bias, even though the belief itself is self-contradictory.
A Christian is a Christ follower who believes Jesus is Lord. Jesus is God. Not a separate God, not Father God, but God the Son, and He's part of the truine God. It says this clearly in John 1:1 and many other scriptures. But just because people have a hard time comprehending how He can be a Son and have a Father who is also God and also be 'one', doesn't mean people should invent human reasoning that departs from the scriptures to explain their worldview. That's where people start making up stuff and disregarding lots of scripture. Then if they don't believe in Jesus's divinity, and don't believe Jesus is Lord, then one might ask, are they then a Christian?
John 20:28 - if someone reads this and says Jesus isn't God and isn't Lord, are they being honest with themselves?
The Pharisees also didn't believe Jesus was who He said He was. They thought He was blaspheming by calling Himself God through "I AM" statements, and they wanted to kill Him.
We should pray for wisdom and understanding and stay in God's Word. God bless.
Part 6.
The Millennium will be the time when there will be the full manifestation of the glory, the power and the will of God over this earth. And all agree that this is not in evidence today. You'll not have hospitals, you'll not have graveyards, you'll not have the suffering nor broken hearts and lives when Christ is reigning on this earth. And it's an insult to my Lord to say that the Kingdom of Heaven is being built today and is in existence on this earth. When He is reigning you won't have the tragedy that presently exists throughout the world.
Millennium takes its label, is detailed in numerous passages including Revelation 20, Isaiah 65, and Ezekiel 40-48, among others. Ezekiel's detailed tour of the Millennial Temple virtually defies any skeptic's attempt to treat it allegorically.
1 John 2:27. Is not a verse we use to defy scripture. Any revelation from the Holyspirit should line up with Gods written word, and what Jesus taught.
John 14:26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
One can symbolize all the scripture and twist it to say what ever. This is Dangerously flawed!!
Jesus said MY sheep hear my voice, to follow another voice and turn from the call of the great shepherd then you're not his sheep.
Paul says Galatians 1:6-8. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
2 John 1:9-10.
Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
God bless.
Luke 24:9 Behold my hands and my feet, that it (glorified flesh) IS I MYSELF: handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
1 Corinthians 15:39-41 ALL FLESH is not the SAME FLESH .....one celestial and one terrestrial .....
This is hard to wrap our minds around, Christ has a body that can exist IN MAN, or stand in the presents of man.
It's even harder to wrap our minds around the fact that we ALSO are going to have this SAME BODY.
This is what the thousand year reign with Christ is all about. The thousand years are not LITERALLY ONE THOUSAND YEARS, but one day (DAY OF THE LORD which has been happening now for two thousand years) is as a thousand years and a thousand years as on day ( 2 Peter 3:8).
Matthew 20:1-16 Christ went out at the first of the day (of the Lord) to call workers to his vineyard.
This would apply to all those that were apostles and received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
When they departed their terrestrial bodies they were given celestial bodies and they are still working in God's vineyard ( Revelation 10:11)( John 1:51)( Genesis 28:12).
Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels ...
Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Luke 20:36 ...neither can the die anymore, for they are equal to the angels ...
For the last two thousand years (one day, God has been calling workers to work in God's vineyard vineyard; first in a terrestrial body and then in a celestial body.
You are a worker NOW in a terrestrial body; when you DEPART your terrestrial body, you will NEVER SEE DEATH, but CONTINUE being a worker in your CELESTIAL BODY. ( Revelation 20:6)
The ripple effects of the vacine, is nothing! Or one thing, if not you cant travel anymore.
Not take the vacsine, is alsow like nothing. It have nothing too do with belive. A scientist may belive on himself. Christian ppl belive in God. If we live or if we die that is nothing we are afraid for! I'll speak for my self, and saved ppl in Jesus Name. But i alsow belive that ppl who dont have give the whole heart to Jesus Christ is bonded with the devil. And can still feel fear. A person who have the Holy Ghost know the way too get out of all situations. God open a way for us too hit back the dark side, soo we can command darkness or the devil who try too raise, and distroy, back too the darkness, where they belong.
God is strong too give life or take life. Am happily too go home too heavens, ill longing for that all the time, all day and night. And pray, come soon Lord Jesus.
You questions sisters and brothers. I'll says too u. Belive in God in Jesus Holy Name and the Kingdom of Holy Ghost. And ask Him who is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
John 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
God bless in Jesus.
But when God planned at a specific time that One should lay down His Life for the sins of mankind, instead of giving another animal for sacrifice or creating another man for this purpose, God sent forth His Word (from within Himself), clothed it with flesh, so that the Word of God could now be seen & heard by His people ( John 1:1-14; Hebrews 1:1-6) & ultimately lay down His Life for us all ( John 10:14-18; 1 John 3:16). So the Word of God came into the world formed as a human babe & was called the Son of God ( Luke 1:35).
Yes, that's what it means. You cannot be held to a law if it does not exist. In Romans 5:13, it tells us that sin was not imputed before the law was given because nobody knew what sin was even though sin was still there. If there is no law saying you cannot steal, you cannot murder, could you still be arrested for those things? If there's no law, what can they arrest you for?
However, there was and still is a consequence for sin. The consequence was death. From Adam to Moses, before the law was given, people were still dying. Even though there was no law showing them their sin, there was still a consequence. It says that death reigned from Adam to Moses even though there was no law. Everybody from Adam to Moses died. That's a consequence of the sin. We physically die too because of that.
As far as judgment, everyone will be judged the same. No one will ever be able to stand before God with the excuse "I never knew." Romans 1:20 tells us that they will have no excuse. Psalm 19:1-4 says "The heavens declare the glory of God. And the firmament shows His handy work. Day unto day utters speech and night unto night shows knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard." So verse 3 tells us that there's no language or speech that God's creation cannot reach. Creation itself is a testimony that there is a God, a creator.
In John 1:9, he talks about Jesus Christ, that He was the true light which lighteth, or enlightens every man that cometh into the world. The word lighteth in that verse means to illuminate or to enlighten. He enlightens every single person that comes into this life. That doesn't mean that He puts understanding in their brain. It means that He manifests those attributes about Himself to our spirit, to the conscience, and man has a response. We might be totally oblivious to the response but we have one.
Precious friends, since God is "not the author of Confusion" 1 Corinthians 14:33, Would He not "Have The Biblical Answer" to all The denominational Confusion {I found 10 'Different water baptismal traditions' today...}? Please Be Encouraged And Edified!
Part 1
{Borrowed from 12 baptisms "study"} ONE of Israel's various {divers} washings! Greek: Baptismos = Hebrews 9:10:
4. Levitical priesthood baptism Exodus 29:4 Leviticus 8:6 Numbers 8:7. This washing was The Second Requirement { The First being: "NO blemish!" Leviticus 21:21 }, in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses! Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?:
9. "water" baptism of repentance that John preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!), to preach! Matthew 3:5-6 Mark 1:4 Luke 3:3 John 1:31 Luke 7:29-30 Acts 10:37 Matthew 28:19 Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Ezekiel 36:25.
a) Does this baptism "save" anyone Luke 7:29-30?
b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?
b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For them "to be a nation of priests unto God" Exodus 19:6?
b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction, Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.
b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve "heal" everyone in Israel who came to them, in order to meet "The FIRST Requirement" For the priesthood, that Of "NO blemish!"? Matthew 4:24 Acts 5:16 cp Leviticus 21:21
Semi - conclusion? God {has Not 10 baptismS Today, but ONLY} ONE Baptism = Confusion SOLVED! And "PEACE {Not Confusion} In ALL the churches!" 1 Corinthians 14:33 Amen? Link
More questions - to be continued in Part 2
