Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 08 2009,18:54)Hi LU,It was then that he began his ministry of power. The Spirit of God is of power and when the wind blows it is irrrespressible. You may choose to believe he had these powers from his birth and never used them but would God in him see misery and not respond for 30 years?Hi Nick,As I thought about how to…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ June 08 2009,10:45)Quote (Lightenup @ June 08 2009,16:39)Ok Nick,So He was filled with the Spirit even at birth or after the water baptism.  Either way, He did not need to be born again because He already was a child of GOD.  Only those that aren't children of GOD need to be born again so that they will be children of GOD.

Hi Nick,It is not written that He was baptized at the Jordan in the Spirit. The Spirit came and rested upon Him.LU

Thanks Irene for your encouragement. I hope you have a great day! K

Nick,There seems to be no record of Him being “born again.”LU

Ok Nick,So He was filled with the Spirit even at birth or after the water baptism. Either way, He did not need to be born again because He already was a child of GOD. Only those that aren't children of GOD need to be born again so that they will be children of GOD. Being born again makes one an adopted child of GOD. He did not become born…[Read more]

Ok Nick,So do you see that He was anointed by the time He was born and that the Holy Spirit was in Him at that time?LU

Ok Nick,Why did Simeon recognize Him then?LU

Nick,It was not time for miracles before the Jordan. He was the anointed one that the prophets were looking for and Simeon was looking for at birth.LU

Quote (Cindy @ June 07 2009,18:24)Nick  Since Christ has been preexisted, and was God's literal Son from before the World was, did He not be the anointed one from the beginning.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 07 2009,17:55)Hi LU,So you say but that anointing produces fruit. None till age 30Sorry Nick,I don't understand your comment. Would you like to rephrase that?LU

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 07 2009,16:58)Hi LU, Is this anointing recorded anywhere or just what you would imagine?Why did it not produce immediate fruit as when Paul anointed others with the Spirit?Nick,If He is the Christ then He IS the anointed one. That alone tells us that He was anointed in order to be the anointed one. When He was born in…[Read more]

Nick,You ask:Quote So all authority was given to him after he was raised?In whose authority did he heal and forgive sin before that time?He had some authority while on earth but not all the authority that He was to receive after the resurrection.Quote The King entered Jerusalem on a donkey as prophesised.The Spirit of Christ inspired the prophets…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 07 2009,15:46)Hi LU, So somewhere around his birth you will find this anointing written. Seems strange that this anointing did not manifest for 30 years given the instant evidence with others in Acts.What you quote from Jesus was just after the Jordan but his Father was with him guiding him always as such is the work of a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 06 2009,18:23)Hi LU, He was also born as king. When did his rule begin?Hi Nick…again,I believe that He began His rule when all authority was given to Him upon His resurrection after He had made purification of sins. It was then that He was given authority. LU
