Hi TC,

The book of Acts is replete with examples of water baptisms for new converts

and the apparent urgent need to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ.

Hands were laid on to receive the Spirit baptism too, but often at a later time.

Men do not rate the priorities of God however, though nothing has changed.

Hi TC,

Do you seriously believe that having been given the Spirit of life by which God did all the miracles through him,

he lost it when he died and then he was given it again later?

Our faithful God is not a God of confusion but of peace. He never leaves or forsakes His children

The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom 11.29

Hi TC,

What does scripture say?

Jn 3.5

Truly , truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

1 peter 3.21

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh,

but an appeal to God for a good conscience- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Hi TC,

MUST HAVE BEEN?

Logic is not for grasping what is spiritual.

Gen 3.22

Then the Lord God said

’ Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil;

and now he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever’

To be alive in the Spirit of life is to live forever.

Death is a sham.

Hi Gene,

So you have to get past fleshly thinking. It is possible to die in the flesh and yet live in the Spirit.

What happened to Jesus is your hope too so the sooner you understand the better.

Hi Gene,

1 Peter 3.18

For Christ also died for sins, once for all, having been put to death in the flesh,

but made alive in the Spirit; in which also he went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the time of Noah,

during the construction of the ark, in which a…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Lk 20.38

Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him.

Another witness.

Real life is eternal life ZOE2222.

It begins before death with the anointing baptism in the Spirit.

Hi Gene,

Matt 22.31

But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:

‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Do you deny that these men are LIVING to God?

Hi Gene,

Mark 12.26

‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’..

He is not the God of the dead but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.

Understand how God sees His anointed ones.

Hi TC,

The SPIRITS IN PRISON are specified as being from the time of Noah and the Ark.

1 Peter 3.20

Hi Gene,

There is no COMMON GRAVE for mankind.

Such is of the imaginations of men running away from the Hades shown in Lk 16.

Hi TC,

Christ’s Soul is his body?

Matt 10.28 shows they are different.

Hi TC,

Baptism in scripture refers to the TYPE of water baptism unless it specifies otherwise.

God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

Hi TC,

The Sons f Gd have yet to be REVEALED.

But we know that the anointed men Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are alive to God.

Hi TC,

From James we know that a body without a spirit is dead.

No scripture says that Jesus was conceived differently without a human spirit.(dead)

Hi TC,

To see scriptural truth as ABSURD is normal for natural men.

You must be born again from above to see the kingdom.

Hi TC,

You say that Mary had half her chromosomes from David??

All the sons of Adam inherit sin and death.

Davd was not a perfect man was he?

Hi TC,

You say that John received the Spirit after he was born?

Lk 1.15 says differently.

Hi TC,

So you think the death of Jesus was when he gave the Holy Spirit back to the Father.

Sorry but you do not understand that he was a man like you and I and his human spirit left him at death.

Ecc12.

The Faithful Spirit NEVER leaves the anointed ones even in death.

Remember the sign of Jonah.

Hi Gene,

MORTAL does not mean DEAD.

Your foundations are of confusion.
