Subject: Jesus' name baptism? |
Bible Note: dear everyone the Spirit of God really rises up in me having discovered this seemingly endless and in somecases perhaps mindless "discussion" of baptisms and the Godhead. i'm not going to share the understanding i have; by the Spirit of the Lord i think; but rather, as Jesus often did respond with a rebuke to the ones who tested His wisdom with questions intended to satisfy their need to know better than He did. for many of you appear to battle this war of words not out of a need to say the truth but of a need to be "right" or correct on the cyberspace streetcorner; matthew 23:5,6,7. the question is this: what since the hour of your rebirth have you IMMERSED your self in daily? is it the river of Life? or what else as outside of Christ is only death. so much talk about the HOLY name of Jesus. are you baptised as well in His LORDSHIP, that is in His BEING of Supreme Authority? are you also baptised in the name of Christ, that is in ha Machiach, the Messiah, THE Annointed Savior, first of the Jew THEN of the Gentile? what and whom have you immersed your self in? you might as well start with 1 cor 11:18,19 and James 3:1. also proverbs 10:19 and 18:21. also revelation 2:2 to 5,15. the shame of the church is that it often knows 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17, but is ignorant of 2 Peter 1:20 and 21. if we did we would also hear Hebrews 4:12 and fear. Job 28:28. if there is anyone who is unsure of baptismal doctrine, or that of the Godhead, and sincerely troubled in their soul on account of it, i would be happy to share my thoughts, reach me at jnthrsvntnathotmail.com |
