Baptisms in the Bible 1. Noah’s type baptism Peter mentions that eight people were saved by water in an ark as a type of a future baptism. (Gen 6:13; 1 Peter 3:20-21) Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 2. Baptism unto Moses Paul presents Israel’s baptism unto Moses “in the cloud and in the sea”. (1 Cor 10:1-2; Exo 14:29) 1 Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1 Corinthians 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3. Israel’s ceremonial cleansings These cleansing rituals were required under the Mosaic Law for the cleansing of the people. (Num 19:13; Lev 11:25; Exo 19:14; Exo 30:17-21; Heb 9:10) Numbers 19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. Leviticus 11:25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. Exodus 19:14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. Exodus 30:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Exodus 30:18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. Exodus 30:19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: Exodus 30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD: Exodus 30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 4. Levitical priesthood baptisms These washings were required in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses. (Exo 29:4; Lev 8:6; Num 8:7) 5. Traditional Jewish baptisms These baptisms were not mandated under the Law but were part of Jewish tradition. (Mt 15:1-2; Mk 7:1-9; Lk 11:38) 6. John’s baptism John came to Israel baptizing with water for the remission of sins so that they could enter the promised kingdom. (Mt 3:5-6; Mk 1:4; Lk 3:3; Jn 1:31; Lk 7:29; Acts 10:37) 7. Jesus’ baptism by John Jesus, who knew no sin, was baptized by John to fulfill all righteousness. (Mat 3:13-17; Mk 1:9-10) 8. Baptism with fire Jesus would baptize the nation with fire as they went through the tribulation. This trial baptism would damn the unfaithful to hell. (Isa 4:4; Mal 3:2-3; Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16) 9. Jesus’ baptism unto death Jesus’ second baptism which he accomplished at the cross where he was identified with the sins of Israel and the world. (Mt 20:22-23; Mk 10:38-39; Luke 12:50) 10. Pentecostal water baptism Peter’s presentation of water baptism for the remission of sins in the name of Jesus. (Acts 2:38; Mk 16:16; Mt 28:19; Acts 22:16; Eze 36:25) 11. Pentecostal Spirit baptism This is the baptism with the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ from heaven poured out upon the believing remnant of Israel with signs and powers following. (Isa 44:3; Mt 3:11; Mk 1:8; Lk 24:49; Acts 2:17-18, 38; Acts 8:15-17; Acts 11:16) 12. Gentile baptism of Cornelius Cornelius was baptized with the Holy Spirit as a sign to Peter. Peter subsequently baptizes Cornelius and the other Spirit-filled Gentiles with water. (Acts 10:45-48) 13. Baptism for the dead This baptism is debated heavily and is most likely synonymous with one of the other baptisms. This baptism would be in vain if the dead do not rise (1 Cor 15:29) 14. Baptism into Christ The only baptism taught by Paul which identifies the believer with Christ, his death, and resurrection. This baptism is performed by the Spirit and does not include water. (1 Cor 12:13; Eph 4:5; Col 2:12; Gal 3:27; Rom 6:3-4) 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Careful brothers and sisters in the Lord! Deception and Deceivers are everywhere and the enemy of our souls is in fact behind the pulpits of Religion preaching another Gospel,another Jesus,another Spirit! This is what Paul wrote : Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:8 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. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. If a preacher does not preach The Lord Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the Mystery,then you know that he/she is in fact a servant of Satan. Paul declares that this is what we preach: Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Please note,not Christ according to the RED LETTERS,but according to the REVELATION of THE MYSTERY! SATAN has transformed himself! 2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. DON'T BE DECEIVED! STUDY THE WORD OF TRUTH RIGHTLY DIVIDED! “Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.” 1 Corinthians 14:19 I was a tongue talker Pentecostal believer and preacher. For 40 years I was hooked in that sect,the tongue talking Spirit filled church goers,BUT I did NOT know what Paul teaches concerning The Revelation of The Mystery. I admit it,I was ignorant of the word of Truth rightly divided and sadly very much into visions,mystical experiences,and I thought I had it all figured out. I would pray in tongues,sing in tongues,worship in tongues and I was DECEIVED. What I thought and believed were tongues supernaturally given by The Holy Ghost of God ,were in fact a creation of my fantasy,and looking back at my Pentecostal past,I am so very grateful that studying the word rightly divided has helped me to see the errors and five years into the sound Pauline doctrine has truly changed my total understanding of what Te Holy Ghost of God is doing in this Dispensation of Grace,and "tongues" are NOT a gift neither a manifestation of God,but surely a work of the flesh and are in fact anything but tongues,but vain babblings. I do not want offend those who still are hooked in The Tongues Movement, but as an ambassador FOR Christ I preach the Gospel of Grace,so I would encourage anyone to abandon Religion and receive believing it the Glorious Gospel of Grace that saves us now and TRUST what God revealed in His word. 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Our Apostle,Paul teaches the will of God for the Body of Christ in this DISPENSATION OF GRACE.
In his letters,you will NEVER find any verse or commandment concerning TITHING,TITHES ! This what he writes concerning GIVING: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7 rather: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” – Galatians 3:13 (preaching Malachi 3 for you today diminishes Christ’s work) Justin Johnson of www.graceambassadors .com compiled this list: Reasons You Should Stop Tithing Among pastors there is a terrible abuse of using law tithing to place the church back under the condemnation of the law. This must be stopped. Jesus taught the church of Paul’s dispensation a better way of giving without the law. Below are some reasons you should stop law tithing. 1. We are not under the law of tithing Tithing was part of the law. We are no longer under it. (Rom 6:14) 2. The law of tithing is weak A required tithe does not change the heart or the action. (Mat 23:23, Gal 4:9, Rom 8:3) 3. The law tithe is beggarly Law tithing always requests more. It is not a gift. It is merely fulfilling an obligation (Gal 4:9) 4. The church is not God’s covenant people The old and new covenants were made with Israel and Judah and so the requirements were never intended for Gentiles (Heb 8:8). Gentiles could be blessed by honoring Israel, and worshipping Israel’s God. 5. There is no Levitical priesthood today The most popular tithe today is the tithe that went to the Levitical priesthood (Num 18:21). There is no Levitical priesthood today. 6. The pastor does not replace the priest Preachers and teachers in the body of Christ church are not priests. Christ is the only mediator (1 Tim 2:5). 7. We do not inherit Israel’s land The tithe given to the Levites was because they had no land inheritance (Numbers 18:21). 8. There are no more temple sacrifices Since Christ paid it all there is no need to pay (tithe) someone else to do this service. 9. The local church does not replace the temple Know ye not that you are the temple of God not your building! ( 1 Cor 3:16) 10. The church does not observe required feast day celebrations It was three times a year in Deut 16:16. At certain feast days is where the tithes would be offered. One tithe even allowed you to stay home and spend it on what you desired (Deut 14:26). 11. Law tithing requirements were greater than 10 percent Deut 14:28 is one example of the tithe on the increase every 3 years that was above the regular Levitical tithe. There are other required offerings also according to Mal 3:9. 12. Physical blessings are no longer granted The law tithe taught physical blessings to Israel from God for tithing (Mal 3:10). Without a covenant with God, a priesthood, a promise, or a temple tithing for profit will not work. 13. Christ has given the church all spiritual blessings Those blessings are in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3) 14. God provides all our needs without tithing Phil 4:19 says your needs are supplied according to his riches in glory in Christ. What you need is not physical it is spiritual. 15. Law tithing obligates the doer to the entire law – Gal 5:3, James 2:10 16. Peace with God is attained without tithing - Romans 5:1 17. We work to provide for our needs in this dispensation Paul makes it clear that if we don’t work we don’t eat (2 Thess 3:10). Mat 6:11 and Mal 3:10 are not effective today. If we do not provide for our own today we are “worse than an infidel (1 Tim 5:8) 18. The tithe was required Giving today is not “of necessity” (2 Cor 9:7). This is an important distinction between generosity and obligation. 19. The law tithe places you under a curse If you do not continue tithing then you can be cursed (Gal 3:10) 20. Christ has redeemed you from the law of tithing Law tithing represents ignorance or negligence of Christ’s cross. (Gal 3:13, 1 Cor 1:17, Gal 2:21) “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. ” – Gal 2:21 Editor’s Note: This resource is not intended to dissuade giving generously to the Lord’s causes. God loves generosity as a reflection of your thanksgiving to Him. While this resource explains why Paul’s doctrine teaches you to stop law tithing, God does not teach lesser generosity. “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” – 2 Cor 9:7 DO NOT LET DENOMINATIONS FOOL YOU. STUDY THE WORD OF TRUTH RIGHTLY DIVIDED. 2 Tim 2:15 KJV YES! The same GOD Who created the Heaven and the Earth is The ONE Who Died for our sins,was Buried and was Risen for our Justification! Can I prove it? YES,with the Preserved,Infallible,Inspired God Breathed word of GOD aka the King James Bible 1611-1769. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Have YOU believed the Gospel that saves us NOW? If not yet,BELIEVE NOW and BE SAVED and SEALED by GRACE through FAITH. It is a GIFT! 1 Timothy 2: 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. SAVED AND SEALED BY GRACE
2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Are we SAVED and SEALED by GRACE or by WORKS? What SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? Let us examine the King James Holy Bible. First we must identify THE WILL OF GOD in this DISPENSATION OF GRACE: 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Yes,GOD will have ALL MEN TO BE SAVED...... Do we need TO BE SAVED? We read that:Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; and :Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.... ......thanks be to GOD the second part of those verses read: Romans:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. All mankind needs to receive THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain . 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: In fact,SALVATION is THE FREE GIFT of GOD to undeserving sinners. Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. The moment you understand that you are LOST and that you cannot save yourself and BELIEVE and RECEIVE the GOSPEL of GRACE,GOD SAVES YOU AND SEALS YOU ...BY GRACE! Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, and this SEAL is FOR EVER! Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Truly our GOD is a GOD of GRACE! Philemon 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Apostle Paul Prayers from the King James Bible
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Ephesians 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. PRAYERS IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. Romans 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Romans 1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; Romans 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. PRAYERS IN THE BOOK OF CORINTHIANS 1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 1 Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 1 Corinthians 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 1 Corinthians 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 2 Corinthians 2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 2 Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. PRAYERS IN EPHESIANS Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1:7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. SAVED AND SEALED BY GRACE 2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Are we SAVED and SEALED by GRACE or by WORKS? What SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? Let us examine the King James Holy Bible. First we must identify THE WILL OF GOD in this DISPENSATION OF GRACE: 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Yes,GOD will have ALL MEN TO BE SAVED...... Do we need TO BE SAVED? We read that:Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; and :Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.... ......thanks be to GOD the second part of those verses read: Romans:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. All mankind needs to receive THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: In fact,SALVATION is THE FREE GIFT of GOD to undeserving sinners. Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. The moment you understand that you are LOST and that you cannot save yourself and BELIEVE and RECEIVE the GOSPEL of GRACE, GOD SAVES YOU AND SEALS YOU ...BY GRACE! Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, and this SEAL is FOR EVER! Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Truly our GOD is a GOD of GRACE! Philemon 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Paul’s words

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

About my Faith
I believe in and use the King James Holy Bible 1611-1769. I believe it is the perfect,inerrant,preserved word of God. I believe that the Godhead is composed by The Father,The Son,The Holy Ghost. I believe that the salvation of the soul is the work of God. Anyone that truly believes and receives by faith the Gospel of Grace that only the Apostle Paul preaches,get saved and sealed eternally,by grace through faith,no human works required. Some Scriptures validating my faith : Concerning the word of God. Psalms 12:7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalms 12:6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Romans 10:17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 2 Corinthians 2:17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. Ephesians 6:17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 1 Thessalonians 2:13For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. Concerning the TRI-UNITY of the Godhead 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; Concerning the Gospel that SAVES us and SEALS us ETERNALLY Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL IS THE WORK OF GOD, CHRIST PAID FOR IT WITH HIS BLOOD. YOUR PART IS IN BELIEVING AND RECEIVING THE GOSPEL OF GRACE. Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Matthew 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. Matthew 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. DID JESUS INSULT THE WOMAN calling her a DOG? Who are THE CHILDREN to whom the BREAD ( HEALING) was RESERVED TO? .......what about the fact that because she BLESSED ISRAEL (Genesis 12:3King James Version (KJV) 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.) she received her petition even though she was a GENTILE DOG? What does PAUL teach here:Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; ..............Fact is the 4 Gospels,also called RED LETTERS are OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS.....Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth................CHRIST DIES at the end of the 4 Gospels...Paul tells us:Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:......................Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,...................PROPHECY and MYSTERY are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE......it is TRAGIC that MILLIONS MISS THE GOSPEL OF GRACE and RELY on their "REPENTANCE,CONFESSION OF SINS,WATER BAPTISM,TITHING etc etc " and MISS THE GOSPEL OF GRACE that ONLY PAUL PREACHES and TEACHES.....think about it.....Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ROMANS – PHILEMON
• These 13 books are all of Paul’s letters. • Paul was given a message distinct from any other plan God has instituted with mankind. He calls that program the “Dispensation of Grace” (Eph 3:2) and the “Mystery” (Eph 3:3). • For the first time we learn of God’s plan for HEAVEN through Paul’s letters. Remember, God created 2 places: Heaven & Earth. The entire Bible, until Paul, has described God’s plan for the EARTH, BUT NOW God reveals His plan for HEAVEN. Israel’s promised domain is the promised Kingdom on EARTH, whereas the Body of Christ will occupy HEAVEN (1 Thes 4:17, Phi 3:20, 1 Cor 15:51-52, Col 3:1-4, Eph 1:3 & 2:6, Col 1:5). • Paul was given instructions straight from God to be the pattern for all believers in the Body of Christ (1 Tim 1:16). • The information Paul received from Christ for the church today is different from information given to Israel. Peter says the information given to Israel has been KNOWN since the world began (Acts 3:19-21), but Paul says the information given to the Body of Christ through him had been kept SECRET since the world began (Rom 16:25). • Instructions for the church today, then, are found in Paul’s letters, and God expects us to heed them ( 1 Cor 11:1 & 4:16, Phi 3:17 & 4:9, 2 Thes 2:15). • There are many aspects of the Mystery program as given to Paul, but the most prominent is that anyone can be saved by the blood of Christ apart from earning it or proving it with their works, but solely by the belief that Jesus paid the full price for their sins (Eph 2:8-9, Rom 4:5, Titus 3:5-7, Eph 1:7 & 13, Rom 3:24-25, 1 Cor 15:1-4). • The end of the Dispensation of Grace is marked by the receiving of the Body of Christ into Heaven (1 Thes 4:13-18). Then God will resume His promised earthly program with Israel (Rom 11:11, 15, & 25-27). ( from graceambassadors.com) The Three in One God a. The Biblical doctrine of God: He is one; He exists in three persons - 1 John 5:7 b. Wrong views of the Godhead i. Modalism (Oneness) = One God wearing three masks ii. Arianism = Jesus is created by God and is a lesser god (JW’s) iii. Partialism = The three persons are part of God, but not fully God iv. Unitarianism = There is one God and one person. (Jesus is not it) 4. Jesus’ Divine Nature a. Jesus was a man, he was also God. We know this by his divine attributes. b. Eternal: John 8:58; Immutable: Heb 13:8; Omniscient : Rev 1:8; John 21:17, Mat 18:20 c. Life: John 1:4, 11:25; Truth 14:6; Holy - Luke 1:23, Heb 7:26; Love 1 John 3:16 d.

Why Jesus Needed to Be God a. Without being God is death was no greater than the greatest man. b. His resurrection could not happen without deity: John 10:17-18, John 20:27 c. His atonement is not eternal without the eternal quality of God – Heb 7:23-27 d. His payment was not the quality needed if he was not God: 2 Cor 5:19, Rom 5:9 e. To be exalted above all things and worshipped – Phil 2:9-10, Col 2:10 f. To fill up all in all, and for all things to be in Him – Eph 1:10, 20-23 g.

Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. WHAT DOES PAUL SAY ABOUT OUR ETERNAL SALVATION? ONCE SAVED,CAN WE LOSE OUR SALVATION? Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. * God Chose Us Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. ( see Eph 1:4 ) Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The strategy of Satan in the Dispensation of Grace is different than in other dispensations . Knowing that many oppose themselves when they hear the word "dispensation",I must note that I do not care of the denominational opinions of men,rather I get my doctrine from the King James Bible 1769 and specifically from Paul's 13 letters,Romans through Philemon,according to the principle of Right Division 2 Tim 2:15 and in this letters I find the word "dispensation" four times. 1 Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; SATAN'S STRATEGY is not what everybody thinks... IT IS DOCTRINAL...with CORRUPT DOCTRINE he sends souls to HELL! 2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. Present Evil World a. We live in a present evil world, made by sin and the devil - 1. Galatians 1:4 ( CHRIST) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 2. b. People scoff at the devil, then they do his work. Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 3. 1 Tim 4:1-31 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. c. There is a war: not with guns, and not on Christmas 2 Thess 2:7, Eph 6:12 d. We ought to know the opposition 2 Cor 2:11, Eph 6:11 2. Knowing the Opposition a. Satan's image is surrounded in deceit 2 Cor 11:13-15, John 8:44, Rev 12:9 b. He was beautiful, powerful, and reputable, until.... Eze 28:11-19 c. His sin was that of pride: he thought his life was his own Isa 14:12-14 d. He is the father of lies and works to corrupt and blind 2 Cor 4:2-4 3. Satan's Opposition a. The course of this world means you are fighting uphill Eph 2:1-3, Rom 5:12 b. God sanctifies the woman's seed Gen 3:15 Satan tries to corrupt it Gen 6:2 c. God forms a nation Satan has nations to corrupt it 1 Samuel 8:5-8 d. God sends prophets 1 Kings 18:21-22 Satan has prophets 1 Kings 18:19 e. God sends angels Dan 10:4-6 Satan has devils to stop them Dan 10:12-13 f. God puts on humanity John 1:14 the Devil enters into Judas Luke 22:3 g. Wolf in sheep clothing? John 10:12 Israel was called to be sheep - John 10:27-28 YOUR BEST DEFENCE AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL IS IN GETTING GROUNDED,ROOTED,BUILD UP,ESTABLISHED IN THE SOUND DOCTRINE THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FROM HEAVEN REVEALED TO THE APOSTLE PAUL,PREACHER and TEACHER OF THE GENTILES and is WRITTEN in the 13 LETTERS ROMANS through PHILEMON Colossians 1:25
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: So,you want to follow Jesus according to the flesh? The works required under the Gospel of the Kingdom were these: The Baptism of Repentance, which was repenting/confessing/baptism (Matt. 3:1-11, Mark 1:4-5, Luke 3:3, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16). Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Matthew 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, Matthew 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 3:11 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: Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Mark 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. Luke 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Selling all that you had (Matt. 6:19-34, Matt. 8:20, Matt. 10:8-10, Matt. 13:44-46, Matt. 19:16-24, Mark 6:7-9, Mark 10:17-23, Luke 3:8-11, Luke 9:1-4, Luke 12:15-34, Acts 2:44-45, Acts 3:1-6, Acts 4:32-37, Acts 5:1-11). Forgiving others of their sins against you (Matt. 6:12-15, Matt. 18:21-35, Mark 11:25-26, Luke 6:37, Luke 11:4). Maintain good works (Matt. 5:20, Matt. 5:48, Matt. 16:27, Matt. 19:16-19, John 5:29). This included very seemingly "little" sins, such as not calling someone a fool (Matt. 5:22). Doing works meet for repentance (Matt. 3:7-10, Luke 3:8-11). Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. You must do this to be a child of God (Matt. 5:43-45). Bring forth fruit to abide in God's love or be cast into the fire (Matt. 7:15-20, John 15:1-10). Do the will of God keeping His words (Matt. 7:21-27). Endure to the end of the Tribulation until Christ comes without denying the Lord (Matt. 10:22, Matt. 10:32-33, Matt. 24:13-14, Luke 12:8-9, Mark 13:13, Rev. 2:7, Rev. 2:11, Rev. 2:17, Rev. 2:26, Rev. 3:5, Rev. 3:12, Rev. 3:21, Rev. 21:7, Heb. 3:6-14, Heb. 4:1, Heb. 4:11, Heb. 6:4-8, Heb. 8:8-13, Heb. 10:16-17, Heb. 10:38 Heb. 11:31). Do not take the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:15-18, Rev. 14:9-11). Do not try and save your physical life by denying Christ in the midst of persecution, you will lose your soul if you do (Matt. 10:38-39, 16:25-26, Mark 8:35-36, Luke 9:24-25, Luke 17:33). Do not blaspheme the Holy Ghost (Matt. 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29, Luke 12:10, 1 John 5:16). Watch for Christ's Second Coming to the earth and be a faithful servant (Matt. 24:42-51, Mark 13:32-37, Luke 21:34-36). Do not hate your brethren (1 John 3:14-15). Take care of the Jews and believers in the Tribulation (Matt. 25:30-46). DO YOU STILL THINK IT IS A POSSIBLE THING TO DO ? ARE YOU NOT AWARE THAT CHRIST IS RISEN AND SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD ? YOU DO BETTER IF YOU TRUST HIS DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION and GET SAVED BY GRACE through FAITH ! THE FREE GIFT OF GOD!! Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23 Romans 4:25 I Corinthians 15:1-4 Ephesians 2:8,9 FOLLOW PAUL TO FOLLOW CHRIST ! 2 Thessalonians 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 1 Corinthians 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF GRACE AND BE SAVED AND SEALED! Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Galatians 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Galatians 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: We do live in a PRESENT EVIL WORLD.Being in ADAM we are sinners by nature.No amount of RELIGION/S,even if it is "Christian Religion" will EVER be able to DELIVER us from this present curse,and we do not need anyone pretending that they can deliver us from this sad cursed condition.This present evil world is filled with PRETENDERS,true charlatans that "IN THE NAME of ANOTHER JESUS,and ANOTHER SPIRIT and ANOTHER GOSPEL,for the sake of "THEIR GOD,THE MIGHTY DOLLAR "( see the SCAM of THE TITHES that they require),will IMPOSE their hands and with various formulas will DECEIVE those who are NOT SAVED by GRACE,but are still in bondage to the massive deception of RELIGION. "THEY" cannot deliver us neither we can deliver ourselves with other "SYSTEMS" proposed by the New Age philosophy and other religions. Get SAVED by GRACE through FAITH Ephesians 2:8,9 BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF GRACE and YOU ARE SAVED,SEALED AND DELIVERED! 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. AMEN ,to GOD ALL THE GLORY! Paul wrote:
2 Corinthians Chapter 4 1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. GOD,the Mighty God of Israel, The Father,The Son,The Holy Ghost, The Lord Jesus Christ, THE HEAD of THE BODY, is surely THE GOD OF PEACE. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. CHRIST IS :
-The light John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. --In our heart Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. --Perfect 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. --Life John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. --Eternal Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. --Truth John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. --Magnified name Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: --Knows the heart Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. --Should be trembled at Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. --Satan tries to counterfeit 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. --We live by... Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. --Only works effectually in the lives of believers Galatians 5:1-4 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." --Liveth Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. --Is a spirit John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. SCRIPTURE IS : --A light Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. --In our heart Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. --Perfect Psalms 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. Psalms 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. --Life John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. --Eternal Psalms 119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. --Truth Psalms 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. --Magnified name Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. --Knows the heart Hebrews 4:12-13 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." --Should be trembled at Isaiah 66:2, 5 "For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word....Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed." Ezra 9:4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. --Satan tries to counterfeit 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. --We live by.... Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. --Only works effectually in the lives of believers 1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. --Lives Hebrews 4:12-13 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." 1 Peter 1:23-25 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." --Is spirit John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:5 “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24 Romans 4:5 is in stark contrast to James 2:24 ! Some people will cry that there are errors in the King James Bible,but we know better once we learn to rightly divide the word of truth 2 Tim 2:15 There are CONTRADICTIONS that get resolved when we understand that God has a program FOR ISRAEL and another FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST ! Grace Justification a. Grace and works don’t mix Romans 11:6 Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: b. Justified freely by his grace Romans 3:24 The Apostle James is writing to the 12 Tribes, not to The Body of Christ. See for yourself James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. The INSTRUCTIONS ( DOCTRINE) are different because the BODY of CHRIST is THE NEW CREATURE. We are UNDER GRACE,not under THE LAW. The faith of Paul a. Righteousness upon all that believe Rom 3:18-22 Romans 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: b. How? – Rom 3:25-26; Rom 4:22-25 Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. c. To him that worketh not – Rom 4:5 Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. d. Not justified by works Gal 2:16 Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. e. The law is a curse, it is not of faith Gal 3:10-12 Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. f. Vain faith Rom 4:19-21; 1 Cor 15: 1-2, 1 Cor 15: 14-17 Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. Romans 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Romans 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 1 Corinthians 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 1 Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. g. Christ dead in vain – Gal 2:21 Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. “… One Lord, one faith, one baptism, …” – Eph 4:5 There is only one baptism in operation today. It is our baptism into Christ by the Spirit. This is the only baptism taught by our Apostle Paul. (1 Cor 12:13; Rom 6:3; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12) In this Baptism there is NOT a drop of water.We are NOT Israel,neither "Spiritual Israel" as the denominations would like make us believe,but we are THE NEW CREATURE,aka THE BODY of CHRIST. There are various types of Baptisms in the King James Bible
