Semmy, as far as obeying, that comes only by allowing Christ to work in us. That is being obedient. If we try to do our will, and not allow him to do his, we are being disobedient. So how do we do this? And this is for those who are saved.First we must understand that the only good in us is our faith in his Son. Second, we must allow our will to…[Read more]

Nick, if you abided in the word you would know I abide in the Word.

Dear Cubes,I have said the same in previous posts. If you have Christ in your heart, you will want to fulfull all righteousness and that means you will want to be baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit. That is why I posted the study on the 3 baptisms. Men have corrupted the way they were to be done and because of this, it has created a church…[Read more]

As far as I know, the apostles would make sure that once a person was saved, born again, they received water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Now, it was common practice in the early church that all who were born again were immediately taken and given water baptism. As for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, it did often happen until an…[Read more]

Would anyone be interested in a Poetry Thread?

And as I said so many, many times on this forum, follow know man. Seek the face of God. Love God with all your heart, mind and soul. Love your brother as yourself.I know I have been tough and with good reason. I came to this forum as I said by the prayer of a saint in need. What interested me was the stand here of men who stood on the belief the…[Read more]

Dear Kenrch and 942767,You brothers are right on track. It is by the grace we are saved and that comes by faith.As for faith without works, that is a true statement, but you must first have faith. And when it says faith without works is dead, you must ask yourself, if you do not have the love of Christ in your heart, is not faith dead? Is not…[Read more]

Wolves are the ones who will try their hardest to convince you they are not Wolves, even after the wool has been removed from off them.

That is what it is all about.

As for bad fruit, the purpose of me coming here was to shake the bad fruit from off this tree by exposing those lurking in the shadows and their webs of deception. This I have down with the help form the Lord. It in not I who am getting angry and lashing out and making jokes of others posts. If you remember, the first thing you did to me when…[Read more]

T8, all that matters is that you ask for a fresh covering of the blood of Christ for your sins and mean it with all of your heart. So many today repetitiously ask for forgivness, but they don't truly mean it in their hearts. We have to really mean it when we ask for forgivness.Think of it this way, in the OT days, all Jews were required to do…[Read more]

Dear Cubes,I am not sure I understand your post. Are you asking if it would be alright to not get the water baptism and only the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Sis, you have to understand what exactly the water baptism is the symbolism of and what we are doing when we receive it. When we get saved, our hearts are cleansed by the blood of the lamb. We…[Read more]

As for you Nick, it is good that you agree that it is by grace we are saved.

Beware of Wolves in Sheeps Clothing who may come to the forum posting as someone other then who they normally are.

Dear Jahman,In your post you wrote this line.I would also dare say, that the struggle Jesus went through, was a division between his soul and spirit. He commend his spirit back to the Father, but his soul went down the other way. Do you believe that there is a difference between the soul and the spirit within a man?

All that I have posted came by Godly rebuke. Your posts Nick are filled with hatred. Proof of this are the little things you do, such as reposting my testimony and attempting to make a joke of it. I don't believe my Father in heaven thought it was funny. And this is something a man who has hatred in his heart would do, not a man of God. The same…[Read more]

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the…[Read more]

His seducing spirit and it is on it's last leg. For I will cast it out. He doubts me, but he won't.

T8, I started going though the messages and there are many. So here is what I will do. Instead of saying that you look upon Nick as a spiritual leader, which I believe I can back up, I will say that your backing him is more out of friendship and a loving brother then that as one who is mesmorized by the enticing words of a spiritual guru. If you…[Read more]
