First, permit me to share that Belief and Faith aren't synonymous contrary to popular teaching and belief. Scripture says even the demons "believe"(James 2:19). Scripture also says "anything not of faith is sin"(Rom 14:23). *Notice it doesn't say "anything not of belief". So this begs the question what is the difference between faith and belief from God's perspective/Truth? The answer is Faith is Christ literally flowing through the crucified soul of a True Believer. Meaning a soul can believe in Jesus, that He is God, that He died on The Cross, and that He can forgive their sins and grant them eternal life, etc...but if that soul hasn't been granted "true repentance" which is Christ flowing through his/her crucified soul, their "believing" is in vain. Scripture is clear "Many will say Lord, Lord...", but Jesus will say "He never knew them." Obviously, these "Many" believed in Jesus, but didn't have faith. Also, Important to note that without question all the Israelites that were delivered out of Egypt "believed in the God that delivered them", but only a few had faith. Again, Christ is Faith Personified. Faith doesn't come from man and when a soul has "true faith" he or she will not sow or reap in the Mammon System (the seen), but will rather by faith (Christ flowing...), sow and reap in New Jerusalem (the Unseen/Far Away Land that all True Believers long for, and by faith, live in while on earth...Heb 11 and the entire Bible support this...). ***Now it is important to note that an Infant Christian due to his or her doublemindedness will try to sow and reap in the Mammon System, but he or she will receive the discipline of God (by cooperating with the crucifixion process...) and through sanctification and transformation be transitioned out of sowing and reaping in the Mammmon System. ***It is also important to note that "To find your life is to lose it and to lose your life is to find it." (Matt 10:39) I cite this verse because if a soul sees no error in them sowing and reaping in the Mammon System (the seen world) he or she has found his or her life and isn't born again. A True Child of God will not be a tower builder in the name of Jesus and will not claim that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob sows or reaps in the Mammon System. ***The Parable of the Talents shows this clearly. The Wicked Servant buried his talent in the ground. The ground represents the Mammon System and it is VERY IMPORTANT to note that the Wicked Servant called God a Hard God because he knew that God didn't sow or reap in the Mammon System. Rom 10 and 2Tim 3 also identify these "Apostate Souls" as souls that have a zeal 4 God, but deny the power there of. So in conclusion, sad to say, as Scripture says "many are called, but few are chosen", and this paints a bleak, but a scripturally consistent picture that there are "many" that believe, but only a "few" that have faith.(Christ flowing producing "true works of repentance" Image of Vine and Body of Christ/True Church.) Now with respect to Baptism. Baptism is simply a physical symbolic act that represents what only the Holy Spirit does...The immersion into water of a "hopefully converted soul" reflects the truth that when we are in Christ, we are buried into "New Jerusalem Soil" and dead to "Mammon System Soil". It is Christ that produces "works of repentance" through our new creation souls. An unredeemed soul can't produce "works of repentance"; It is impossible. Now of course, sadly and deceptively, an unredeemed soul "can appear" to produce "good works", but they are a counterfeit if Christ isn't literally producing the fruit. And a "tell tale sign" that indeed Christ is flowing through a soul is that the world is becoming increasingly dim and that the soul has little to no interest in building and/or finding his/her life in the Mammon System(the seen world). ***The Delusion God sends, as mentioned in 2Thes 2:11, is that He does sow and reap in the Mammon System(also false miracles and healings). Apostates believe the lie and as a result make the Bible, Jesus, and The Cross into Idols to inspire them in their rebellion/tower building and sadly they do this in Jesus' name. Scripture is clear to love the world is to hate God. Let there be no confusion or twisting of Scripture in this regard. If a souls seeks and claims that God sows and reaps in the Mammon System (the world/the seen) he or she is "more than likely" not born again. The only hope would be that the soul is an Infant, but even an Infant will know, although it will not be totally clear that his or her God/Jesus doesn't sow or reap in the Mammon System. So for a soul to be baptized without Christ literally flowing through their crucified soul is just simply a soul getting wet. Their baptism was in vain...I say this with sorrow... There is much more Christ could share through me on this subject, but time and space will not permit... |

Greetings Lionheart, yes, you are correct, I should have made that more clear...although actually your point is exactly my point. Belief can be used in the context of "knowing something to be true/as a fact", and belief in this context isn't "true faith". Romans 1 makes it clear every soul knows there is a God and what is His Will (For HIM to come live in and through their crucified soul.) True faith, as The Holy Spirit has revealed to me, is Christ literally flowing through a born again and crucified soul(which is the "He is the Substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen/Heb 11). Many "Professing Christians" are under the false impression (deceived by their own hearts and the angel of light/Satan) that because they believe in Jesus and what He did on the Cross for them they are saved. This simply isn't true and furthermore the whole concept of the "sinner's prayer and asking Jesus into one's heart is not Scriptural. Romans 3 makes it clear "no one seeks God", and John 3 (also refer to Romans 9) shows how a soul is born again, and there is no mention of a prayer and it takes a quantum leap to try to rationalize the saying of a prayer is equivalent to what John 3 or Rom 9 say... Also, Jesus never led anyone in a "sinner's prayer" and never gave anyone the opportunity to "ask HIM into their heart." Scripture is clear that no one cometh unto The Father, but the Spirit draweth them (John 6:44, again no mention of a prayer). Also, "Professing Christians love to quote, "Jesus is the way...", however again just "believing" this wont save you...***Jesus was crucified, by the way... If a soul says they believe, but there is no "true repentance" which is what "true faith" is.. that soul hasn't "believed unto salvation/doesn't have saving faith". "The Works" James speaks of that proves one's faith are "works of repentance" which are done in the seen (the mammon system), BUT it is Christ, who is seated in the heavenlies, that literally produces these works of repentance (which are from above in New Jerusalem). Faith isn't finding one's life (Matt 10:39) and/or building in the mammon system/that which is seen (THIS IS REBELLION)...and this is the Delusion (2Thes 2:11) and Lie that is propagated in American Churches and Apostates Churches around the world...all Denominationalism Teachings are based on Scripture (which is the deception), however the "teachers and followers" of these "demon-nations" are guilty of Rom 10:2 and 2Tim 3:5...they have a zeal for God, but deny the power there of... The most common phrase in the Apostate Church today is that "I soooo appreciate what Jesus did on the Cross, and love God sooooooooo much, I want to live 4 HIM". A Holy God doesn't need evil man to "anything 4 HIM". Christ lives out the 5 Offices and 16 Gifts through crucified souls who have entered His Sabbath Rest and have ceased from "their works/doing things 4 God". (which is what true faith is...just "believing" in Jesus doesn't produce works of repentance which is all that the Father accepts. Abel gave the best of his herds, but Cain only gave "some" of his crops. Cain is the first "Earthly Apostate", but of course Lucifer was/is the Pioneer of Rebellion/Apostasy. True Belief, Faith, and Repentance are synonymous...they are Christ granting us repentance (which is an Image of us being granted land/foundation in New Jersualem)and when this happens He will turn us from everything of this world. If, we like Cain, only give "some" and think we can ask Jesus into our heart, we are deceived. By the way Cain, I am sure you would agree "believed in God" (He talked to HIM), but He didn't have faith because He refused to let Christ reign in His Soul and a result Cain was a restless wanderer as are "many professing Christians". I could say much more, but space won't permit. Thanks 4 your response and hope to hear from you again... |

Greetings Lionheart, What you say is true, however to the darkened mind there is no understanding of what "true faith and belief" are. True Repentance isn't going from the left(obvious sin) to right (human morality)as the Apostate Church teaches. Human morality is the height of evil and is the same error that lucifer was guilty of (trying to be like God/Jesus/Christ). True Repentance is being buried to "all" the deeds of the flesh, "good and bad". As Isaiah said, "our good works are dirty rags in God's sight." Only Jesus is Good as He explained to the Rich Young Ruler, and only He (Jesus) that fulfilled the Law, can obey the law, and only Jesus (the Living Word of God) can live the Word through our crucified souls. James also made the distinction between believing and faith. That is why He said "even the demons believe". He went on to say, "show me your faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." These people he was speaking to weren't slothful unemployed souls and I am confident all of them "believed" in God and "had faith" in what "they were doing" and in the god they were doing it for... He was making the distinction here, as is Christ through me, that if Christ, who is Faith Personified, isn't literally producing the "good works of repentance", then as far as God is concerned no matter "how seemingly good or how hard the person works even to the point of human morality, ethics, and values it counts for nothing. (The flesh counts for nothing/Phil 3, John 6 and John 15). Scripture is clear you can't serve God and Mammmon. God is New Jerusalem...now this may seem odd, but New Jerusalem is part of Heaven, right? ...and God is there, right? ...and Jesus is seated in Heaven, right? ...and "all good things" come from Heaven above, right? Furthermore, with respect to the mammon system, A satan is the prince of the air(mammon system), right? And the flesh is against the spirit and the spirit is against the flesh, right? The problem is Apostates sow and reap in the mammon system in which satan is the prince. Scripture says, "the just shall walk by faith, not by sight, right? Jesus said, "where your treasure is, your heart will be also", right? The Wicked Servant was a Servant, right? But his sin was that He buried his talent in the ground (the mammon system/the seen world). There is not one True Christian in Scripture that was a part of his/her culture, yet American Christians are not only part of it, but they are rulers in it. Jesus, nor the disciples, nor any of the 1st Century Churches were a part of the culture in which they lived. On the other hand, the Pharisees were, and you know the dialogue Jesus had with them (John). I sumbit to you that just as the Physical Jews claimed to know God and that Abraham was their Father...the Apostate Church is guilty of the exact same thing...they claim to know God and that Jesus is their Lord, but as Scripture says, they praise me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and they think they will be heard for their many words, and they give of their abundance... Just as were the Pharisees and Physical Jews liars, and story tellers, so are The False Teachers (Demonationalism and Cults) and Apostate Christians. The Physical Jews sought to obey the law in their own strength and the Apostate Christians seek to obey not only the Law, but to live the Word in their own strength. And again this is what Romans 10:2 and 2Tim 3 says. Apostate Christians are deceieved into thinking "well, we are Christians we have faith in Jesus, etc...we aren't anything like the Pharisees", etc...but they are self deceived because they are guilty of the exact same thing...only difference is they use the entire bible where as the Physical Jews just used and use the Old Testament. ...Continued on "Proceeding Note"... |

Final point: Sin is anything not of faith (Rom 14:23). Obvious sins such as fornication, adultery, lying, coveting, stealing, murder, lust, etc...are indeed sins, however the most egregious sin a soul can commit is to build in what is seen/the mammon system. To find your life is to lose it and to lose your life is to find it (Matt 10:39) Apostate Christians say, "well, God has given me these talents (as He did the wicked servant)and he has helped me get my education, career, etc...but again there is only one "foudational problem", the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob doesn't sow or reap in the mammon system. Apostate Christians reason, "Well, we may not live just like Jesus, the Disciples, or the First Century Church, but we are still doing good works." Oh, really? Woe to them that call good evil and evil good...It is obvious what the church is doing isn't "good" because they are using the same principles, methods,and means as the world, and they desire and claim God "blesses" them with the same things the world desires and calls blessings. Please read Colossians 2 to see the faithlessness of this... "Handle not, Taste not, and Touch not"...amen and amen One "Very Important Point" is that the Physical Jews were desring and "Earthly Messiah" to give them victory over their earthly enemies. Now, why would they want this? Well the answer is obvious...They wanted to rule politically, socially, academically, and have "heatlh and wealth prosperity just as the Apostate Church does today. A few more things to chew on: One, Solomon, who was the wisest man ever to live, declared everything of this world "meaningless". So, my question to "Professing Christians" today is, "Why are you trying to find "meaning in a meaningless world"? Jesus, Paul, and all other True Crucified Christians in the Bible came to the same conclusion. Also, Paul said that, "The Wisdom of this world is foolishness to God", yet "Professing Christians" are building their towers of academic accomplishments. Question is, why? Thanks again, for responding...and please understand I share boldly the truth in love because "Only the truth sets a soul free". Error enslaves and holds a soul captive to the seen world/the mammon system. I hope the truths Christ has shared through me are edifying... |

Greetings, with all due respect "Christ was not ranting and raving" through me...however, no worries, no offense taken. Christ speaks boldly truth in love through crucified souls. I only know and share what He teaches and speaks through me...(John 14:26)...amen and amen. With respect to the Apostate Church. The Apostate Church are those wicked servants who make a false claim to being in the Vine/Body. Again, please read Romans 10:2 and 2Tim 3:5 and I would suggest reading the entire chapters. The Apostate Church is "the many" that will fall away in the end because "they lived 4 God/Human Morality and Stood for Christian Principles/Values, etc..." rather than Christ living through them/True Christianity/Holiness. Jesus never said and no True Christian in Scripture ever "stood for Christian Values". Sadly, this is what the Pharisees were guilty of and of course were harshly rebuked for it by Jesus. Jesus said, "Sell all and follow HIM" which simply means allowing Christ to live through our souls without resitance/our flesh. When we do as He commanded our eyes are opened and we see that He is God and more than able to stand for and take care of His Law. We are called to simply live "a Repentant Life". Please read Luke 4 and Colossians 2... and remember only the truth sets a soul free. Thanks for your response. I look forward to hearing from you again... |

Greetings, I agree that Scripturally speaking belief and faith are synonymous, the problem is "many" who boast of "believing/trusting in Jesus aren't truly born again, and thus void of faith. If a soul truly believes(has faith) he/she will turn from everything of this world. (Luke 4/Col 2...you can't serve God and Mammon...to love the world is to hate God). My point is, it is possible to believe (even to the point of committing life to HIM/trusting in HIM,(Idolaters do this...) etc...(***Remember there are "many" that praise Him with their lips (singing), but their hearts are far from Him, and think they will be heard for their many words (prayer), and give out of their abundance (tithing), yet still as far as God is concerned be "an unbeliever" because Christ isn't literally living through their soul which is evident by the absence of "any true works of repentance".(They produce counterfeit works. ***Do some research on Tares and Wheat. Tares look like Wheat, but they have no grain and continue to stand erect(proud) whereas Wheat, by the weight of the grain, bows...) Again, I repeat the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob DOES NOT sow or reap in the mammon system/the seen world. If He did, Jesus, the Disciples and all True Christians, and especially those in Hebrews 11 were frauds and awful examples... In conclusion it is possible to Idolize the Bible, Jesus, and the Cross. Many will say, as did I, before God explained it to me, "This is impossible." Well all I can say is that Scripture is clear, "many are called, but few are chosen...the many (they believed, but were faithless) are those who Idolized the Bible, Jesus, and the Cross by using it to inspire them in their works of iniquity in the mammon system/the seen world. Again, "to find your life is to lose it and to lose your life is to find it" (Matt 10:39). The God of the Bible helps no one to find their life here on earth, to the contrary He says "lay it down and hate it" and He faithfully demonstrated this by living a crucified life that in the end He physically carried out... Thanks 4 your response, and I look forward to hearing from you again... |

Greetings, it is a pleasure to get your inquiry. Let me first say what "true repentance" isn't. True Repentance isn't going from the left to the right so to speak...going from obvious sin to human morality...Even Pagans attempt and many times succeed in this pursuit...as do Mormons, JW's, and Buddhists, etc.. "True Repentance" is being buried... (Image of seed being buried in the ground/mammon system (dead to the works of it) and being supernaturally resurrected to produce fruit in the Unseen City/New Jerusalem ***Of course Jesus was/is an Example of this)... in Him (Christ) and crucified to "all the works of the flesh/good and bad." ***Please read Hebrews 3 and 4 in regards to entering into God's Sabbath Rest and keep in mind "those who He said didnt enter into His Rest because of unbelief" knew of God and believed in Him, but they pursued righteousness in their own strength rather than by faith (Faith is Christ flowing through our crucified souls which is God granting us repentance/a foundation in New Jersualem). Please read Romans 10:2 and 2Tim 3:5 to see that it is not only possible to believe in God, and yet not be have faith (Christ living a truly repentant life through our crucified souls...), but it is quite common... ...and remember there is nothing new under the sun/The Son... Just as the Physical Jews claimed that Abraham was their Father, and that they knew and served God, so do Apostate Christians claim that Jesus is their Lord, and that they have a personal relationship with Him, but there are no "true works of repentance." They sow and reap in the mammon system which the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob doesn't do... Again, thanks 4 your inquiry, and I look forward to hearing from you again... |

Greetings Hank, I think I need to clarify what I have been trying to communicate so there is no more misunderstanding. Can I get an amen to that? Scripturally speaking belief and faith can be and usually are synonyms, however it is the misuse of the word(s), "belief/believe", that is the problem. Belief as it is used in Scripture is synonymous with faith, but again Scriptural belief and faith are dependent on a "foundation of true repentance", otherwise the soul that says "they believe", but there are no true works of repentance (faith) is just giving lip service and "doesn't truly believe" according to the Scriptural definition. "Many" confess Jesus as Lord with their mouth, but the heart is never changed because they refuse to "receive Christ" and be "granted true repentance" which would turn them from "everything of this world". However, again when James says that "even the demons believe", obviously this isn't referring to the use of believe that is synonymous with faith. That is why demons aren't born again and Apostate Christians and them have the same eternal destiny. I hope this clarified things, although I do tend to probably "overexplain" and therefore this may be as clear as mud...LOL |

Greetings, just a FYI, Jesus was crucified for what you call "raving/proclaiming truth" against the Jewish Apostasy too. The flesh (all mankind) is against the Spirit...God's ways aren't our ways...no one seeks God...Jesus spoke truth to those who said that Abraham was their Father, and He is also speaking truth to those who say Jesus is Lord (the Apostate Church), but both their works prove(d) they are liars and story tellers. By the way, God isn't interested in "edifying you". God wants to crucify you...the only souls that will be edified are those who have been crucified...amen and amen Thanks 4 your inquiry, and I share these truths boldly in love because only the truth can set a soul free..amen and amen... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings, thanks 4 your inquiry. Briefly and simply put, all Christ is communicatinig through me is that only He (Jesus Christ), who fulfilled the Law and is the Word of God can obey the Law and live the Word through our crucified souls. Man can't live 4 God and/or live out the 5 Offices (Eph 4) or 16 Gifts (Rom 12 and 1Cor 12). Now, I realize this and many things Christ communicates through me may sound foreign to most, however the reason it is foreign doesn't make it false (nor does it make it necessarily true/test the spirits), to the contrary...the condition of the church today exposes that there is a serious "Foundational Problem". "The Foundational Problem" is that man is trying to live 4 God. If you think about it "this could explain the condition of the church today and through out history, for that matter...", Don't you agree? Paul in Galatains made this perfectly clear (I suggest you read all of Galatains and in particular Gal 5 and 6). It only stands to reason that only the Holy Spirit, who is Christ, can live out the 5 Offices and 16 "Spiritual Gifts". Christ is the Mystery Revealed and is the "Missing Link" in most souls "zeal" (Rom 10:3 and 2Tim 3:5) and their pursuit of righteousness and the Kingdom of God. I suggest you do a "word search" of "Christ" and "Mystery" on this Website and you will see this clearly. I hope this helped... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings, thank you for your correspondence. Jesus is the Shepherd and His Sheep hear and know His voice (John 10:14)...the Holy Spirit teaches me all things and reminds me of all things (John 14:26)...Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rom 10:17)...and they shall be "all" taught by God (John 6:45) Many have ears, but dont hear and eyes , but don't see(Matt 13:15). We are deafened and blinded by our Idolatry and not until a soul sells all/is crucified can he/she hear from God clearly, see their world from God's perspective, and see/understand truth. Yes, "I have a private line", but God has "private lines" with all of His Children...Please don't be offended by my intimacy with the Lord...Sell all, and you can have the same. He is no respecter of persons, but we must cooperate with His Will. The truth shall set you free...amen and amen. Good to hear from you... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

However, again when James says that "even the demons believe", obviously this isn't referring to the use of believe that is synonymous with faith. That is why demons aren't born again and Apostate Christians and them have the same eternal destiny. I hope this clarified things, although I do tend to probably "overexplain" and therefore this may be as clear as mud...LOL |

16 | Can the Bible and Jesus be Idols? | NT general Archive 1 | NewCovenant7777 | 143638 | ||
Greetings CDBJ, I appreciate your humor and suggestions. With respect to your suggestion on copying and pasting Scripture, I agree, however I also believe that it is good for us to turn the pages of our Bibles. In addition, as you know I can be a little long winded (type a lot) and as result I don't have sufficient room to copy and paste every Scripture referenced. But again, I appreciate your suggestion, and I will try to do so, as space permits... I will research "metanoia", and get back with you on that as the Lord leads...I am confident it will confirm what the Lord has already revealed to me, and hopefully illuminate it all the more...amen and amen.If you could send me any info you have on it, I would appreciate it, thanks... Also, I did create a profile, albeit brief. I will add more later... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

17 | what is blasphemy against holy spirit | Mark 3:20 | NewCovenant7777 | 143644 | ||
****Spelling Corrections and a few additions... Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is simply attributing the works of the devil to God and vice versa. It is cursing the Holy Spirit that is trying to redeem one's soul. Read Mark 3:20-35 and you will see this played out. It is also calling good evil and evil good which was one of the "woes" in Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Furthermore, it is taking our talents, as the Wicked Servant did (Matt 25),and burying them in the ground(mammon system, building, finding life) while all along the Holy Spirit is saying, NO!!! Touch not, Taste not, Handle not! (Col 2:21/I suggest you read the entire chapter and it will confirm what the Lord is communicating through me.) ***Notice the Wicked Servant calls God a "Hard God", this is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. ***Notice why the Wicked Servant blasphemed God. When we aren't born again, we will sow and reap in the flesh/the mammon system/the seen world, and we will be angry with God for not participating in our rebellion. Only a born again soul can sow and reap where God does...in New Jerusalem...amen and amen. The Holy Spirit is saying repent/sell all/be crucified while the devil is saying (We agree with devil and call evil good) find your life and build. So when we curse the Holy Spirit (Calling truth/good evil), Who is wooing us, and this continues until our last breath... we are guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit which is unpardonable because as a result the soul remains unredeemed and therefore unforgiven... Hope this helps... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

18 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | NewCovenant7777 | 143608 | ||
Greetings Tim, no I haven't, the Lord just led me to the website on Sunday. It is good to hear that there "may" be someone else of faith out there...are you at liberty to share his/her name? I appreciate your correspondence. Feel free to IM me sometime at NewCovenant7777@aol.com |

19 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | NewCovenant7777 | 143627 | ||
Greetings Tim, thanks for the warm welcome, although not sure how often I will be on. The Lord is sending me out to proclaim and live truth around the US and World over the next 8 1/2 years, however I will be keeping my AOL account and going to colleges and libraires, and perhaps at some point get a laptop, to get my email and communicate with The Faithful. Who knows perhaps some day, we will cross paths... Crucified in Him, Luis |

Yes, the Law is put on our hearts...and NO, when they did sacrifices, that was NOT counted for righteousness...Please read Hebrews 9 and 10. With respect to Rom 2:15 and your question, please read Romans 1 for the answer. (Hint: We all know who God is and what is required...to be crucified/sell all/worship HIM and HIM alone,not creation...) Also, please understand as John 14:26 says, the Holy Spirit will teach you all things and remind you of all things, you need no man to teach you! Let HIM teach you as you read the above Scripture References and as you continue to read The Scriptures in general...amen and amen... John 6 says the same thing..."They will be taught by God". I suggest you read the entire chapter. Also, read Heb 8:11, where God says, "No longer will they teach their neighbors, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord', because they will "All KNOW ME" from the least of them to the greatest. Hope this helped... Crucified in HIM, Luis |
