161 | John the baptist and Elijah | Luke 1:17 | WalkingTalkingBible | 120503 | ||
Jesus said that John the Baptist "shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias (Elijah). . . Luke 1:17 (KJV)" Elijah was not reborn as John the Baptist. Luke 1:13-17 shows the Angel, Gabriel, telling Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, that he would have a son who would be the forerunner to the Messiah. Does this answer your question?

Matthew 3:11 says, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" The baptism of the Holy Ghost and the indwelling of the Holy Ghost appear to be two different events that a true believer experiences. Can anyone explain? (Please, no theological references, only respond with what the Holy Ghost, Himself, has revealed - John 14:26) Thanks in advance, WalkingTalkingBible |

Help me to understand your belief - "How does lack of repentence from sin in the life of a believer disqualify him from the inheritance that he has been promised by God in Christ?" Do you believe that unrepented sin of a believer is automatically forgiven, just as long as he believes? WalkingTalkingBible |

Eveready2004, I just want to encourage you to continue to participate in the forum. You have been given the truth to your good question. We are not all on the same faith level, so there are going to be all kinds of questions - it's up to God's people to be patient and to rightly divide the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15, 24-26). You seem to be seeking the truth and I don't want you to be discouraged from doing so. Please continue to visit the forum with your questions and concerns as you grow in God. There are all kinds of souls here in this forum just like in the world. Some know God and are filled with the Holy Ghost, enabling them to teach, some have theology and denominational backgrounds only, some are living in error and some may even teach what they think they know. We have to love them all. Remember, we are helpers one to another and just like our heavenly Father doesn't wish for any to perish, we have to be the same way. Continue to seek God for all of your needs and He will supply you. With the love of God, WalkingTalkingBible |

166 | Is remorse necessary for forgiveness? | Luke 17:3 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119794 | ||
Sorry, I didn't know that you were asking me if I believed that. . . Anyway, I stated that the O.T. people were believers by keeping the Law. I guess I could say that a little better: The believers in the O.T. were to keep the Law. I believe the O.T. people were saved by faith in God. Whatever He said, they believed Him, and that pleased Him. Paul's epistles to the Romans and the Galatians were explaining to them, in short, that the law could not save them (probably because there were Jews around, like the Pharisees, still trying to teach people the old way). When I read about Abraham, I believe he looked for the promise. But I truly believe, as the Holy Ghost leads me, that the O.T. believers were saved by faith (Hebrews 11:1-39). When I look at people like Moses, Joshua, and King David, just to name a few, they had tremendous faith in God. So, if I say that they had faith in the will of God, and the will of God is His Word, then I guess you can say they did have faith in Jesus, Who is the Word of God! Thanks! You've helped me see things clearer concerning the believers from the O.T. time! God bless you! WalkingTalkingBible |

You imply that "before the day of Pentecost there was no capacity for God to save people." In the Old Testament, the souls were under the law. The law didn't give them power over sin, the law showed how sinful man is and how much man needed a Savior (Galatians 3:24). They couldn't keep the law. But Jesus, fulfilled the law (Matthew 5:17). The Old Testament souls had to ". . .Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13 You're right, O.T. people were believers by keeping the Law. Salvation, or deliverance (from the bondage of sin and eternal separation from God), didn't come until Jesus gave His life and resurrected. A lot more is expected of us, who are saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. We have the Spirit of God dwelling in us guiding us to do so. God, only, has the power to forgive sins. We have the power to do what is right, which includes forgiving others who treat us wrongly. Not the same as forgiving sin. Look at some of the Old Testament laws concerning, killing, stealing, homosexuality, beastiality, incest, adultery, etc. They were told to kill these "offenders." Not very forgiving, huh? We have the same spirits dwelling in people today, but God says love them anyhow. We can forgive (pardon, excuse) because God is living in us. Does this help a little more? WalkingTalkingBible |

169 | Did Jesus go to Hell after the crucifixi | 1 Pet 3:18 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119753 | ||
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40) Some may think this was the grave, but Jonah didn't lay in a grave for three days and three nights. This is what Jonah had to say, "And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice." (Jonah 2:2) Jesus wasn't condemned to Hell, like someone who dies unsaved, He went to "fill all things" (Ephesians 4:10b). 1 Peter 3:19 is one verse that shows what Jesus did while He was there. Also, see Ephesians 4:8-10. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, CDBJ! You have to do a little more than forgive to be saved. . . Jesus died so that we can be reconciled back to God, for the remission of (or deliverance from) sin (Matthew 26:28). Jesus is the only one who was worthy to die for the sins of the world. Therefore, look at remission/forgiveness, in Jesus' case, as deliverance. You (or none of us) can forgive, or deliver, others from sin. We are not God, so the sin is not against us, even though we are affected by it, sin is against God. You are not saved because you forgive (pardon, excuse) someone who did you wrong, one is saved because of repentance, accepting Jesus as Savior and doing the will of God. How could we, being forgiven of sin not forgive others who do us wrong? See Jesus' answer to Peter's question about forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-35. You're right, God did not change, but how He deals with us did change. Before the Day of Pentecost, God did not live in man (with few exceptions like John the Baptist). So there was no power to forgive. But in our dispensation, those who are filled with the Spirit of God are empowered to bring themselves under the subjection to the will of God. Forgiveness and Salvation are not the same when comparing ourselves to God. Check your post again, I didn't use Romans 6:23. WalkingTalkingBible |

171 | Temple | John | WalkingTalkingBible | 119679 | ||
The temple (tabernacle in the O.T.) is a place of Holiness. God had the children of Israel to build Him a temple, which is where the ark of the Covenant was kept. The ark of the Covenant was a typical figure of the presence of God. The temple was built so that God could dwell among His people (Exodus 25:8). God is Holy and nothing unholy can even come near Him. Jesus says in Matthew 21:13, "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." The purpose of the temple (for us, church) is to praise and worship God, and His "house must be reverenced. In this dispensation, the Grace dispensation, our bodies are also the temples of God. We know that sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2), so that's why we have to die daily, repent, fast, and pray to keep ourselves worthy of the presence of God (Holy Ghost, anointing). God will not dwell in anyplace unworthy or unclean. 1 Corinthians 6:19; Romans 12:1 WalkingTalkingBible |

173 | Is remorse necessary for forgiveness? | Luke 17:3 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119662 | ||
For a Child of God, remorse is not necessary for forgiveness. Matthew 5:44 says, ". . . bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. . ." The perpetrator may be evil, but sin is sin. God let's us know that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)." Just as God saved us, He can save someone who is yet unsaved. When someone is unsaved, they are, of course, not of God and do things that are ungodly, there is no limit as to what evil to expect of them (nothing surprises me anymore). This is a soul that needs Jesus just like the rest of us and that's why God says we have to love them regardless of their unrighteousness (which is longsuffering). Forgiveness is a conditional promise: if you forgive, you will be forgiven; "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14-15)." Just as God had compassion on us, we are to have compassion on others. Jesus gave His life even when we were not remorseful. Forgive this person, for your sake, and pray for him/her. I hope this helps, WalkingTalkingBible |

174 | Is John Elijah? | Luke | WalkingTalkingBible | 119550 | ||
Jesus is saying that John the Baptist is come in the "spirit and power of Elijah." "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." (Luke 1:17) Luke 1:11-17 shows us that the angel, Gabriel, had given the message to Zacharias (John the Baptist's father) telling him that his son would be the forerunner to the Messiah.

178 | is dating right in gods eyes | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119258 | ||
My brother just got married on the 17th of this month to a beautiful woman of God. When he came to Christ a year ago, he came with a broken heart. He told me that he wanted a wife, a real woman to love him. I told him that since he was saved now that God would like for him to have a saved wife and to ask God for a wife (as opposed to searching in the world for one). Five months later, my brother says that God told him who his wife was. One of the young evangelist also became very interested in my brother and later she told me that God had spoken to her and said that this guy was her husband (she didn't even know that he was my brother). They began dating and in one year, they are now married. I think the most important thing is to wait on God. Also, as Rowdy advised, stick to Christians. God says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel (unbeliever)? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Since the Bible doesn't deal with dating directly, we have to know our God. He wants us to trust Him for everything and He wants to be first in our lives. If the motive for dating is to find a soul mate, then I would advise you to ask and wait on God because He wants you to be happy and He will prepare you for your mate and prepare your mate for you. If you are dating someone who God has sent you, then you're getting to know each other. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Proverbs 18:22 I hope this helps. WalkingTalkingBible |
