I know that many want me to understand their view that water baptism is a requirement but I have already believed that and use to persuade others of that. But those attempt to persuade me I assure those its in vain. And when I try to teach them my view – they become an adversary and attack me and my understanding because it doesn't match there…[Read more]

While were on the subject – there is only one baptism.Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Paul

No trettep's preaching is about the word baptism meaning “submerged” every where the word is used just like most concordances interpret it. Whether its submerged into the Holy Spirit, Water, or Fire. It still means “submerged” or “to make fully whelmed” “immersed” etc..Paul

1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with Eph 5:11 And have…[Read more]

Its not me that is finding the word “water” in every word “baptism”. I find in every word “baptism” the word “immersed”.I read in Acts:Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Strongs has that word at…[Read more]

Quote (Cubes @ April 19 2005,23:51)So you believe that this change from water to spirit baptism occurred in Acts 10 (based on our previous discussions)?  If so, then another way to test your position is to see whether or not the mention of “water” (in water baptism) started and stopped at a certain point in time.  Do you think that would be a r…[Read more]

Quote (Cubes @ April 19 2005,22:34)Well, Trett, in Acts 19:5, I take it to mean they were water baptized by water, then the laying on of hands, and the second baptism by the holy spirit in Acts 19:6.How do you understand it?Read it like it says.  Water is not mentioned.5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6…[Read more]

Quote (Cubes @ April 19 2005,18:10)Hi Trettep:Scripture to Scripture as we try to understand and do the will of God. Please review Acts 18:24 – 19:8ACTS 18:24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent…[Read more]

In John 3:5 born of the water means to be born in the flesh.  Being born from the Spirit means to be born from the Spirit.  or just read the next verse:Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.And if John 3:5 doesnt mean what John 3:6 states then what does it mean? – be specific.Its hard fo…[Read more]

Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.Joh 3:6 has to do with Joh 3:5. Paul

I posted those two verses together as they are often not quoted together but were intended together because the message was that as its written. Everyone that is of the flesh is delivered of the water of the womb. But one must be born of the Spirit which is not everyone.Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall…[Read more]

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.Paul

There was one that told Eve that she would not surely die (saved). The doctrine of the devil is at work today as it was then. Its my hope that is none will be deceived by such a doctrine. When Christ comes – His sheep will receive their salvation:Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him…[Read more]

What is the purpose of the lampstands? http://webpages.charter.net/ptretter/seven.html If you can understand that – then you will know what it means to remove one.Paul

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Everyone is born of the water. Not all are born of the Spirit. The Father in Heaven is the author of reproduction. And human reproduction is a process of divine reproduction. As man we break forth…[Read more]

Gospel means “good message” Good has only one source. All others are perversion. We must seek out that one which is Good!Paul

The angels referred to there are interpreted as messengers and since messengers give messages then the content is not for the receiver of the message any more than a postal worker is responsible for the content of your mail.Paul

Baptism by fire is the trying of our faith. Its the second death – its by that fire what the wicked become ashes under the saints feet.Paul

There is no requirement for water baptism. Peter said who could forbid water. If someone doesn't get baptized with physical water and someone else says that physical baptism by water is necessary than the one that says it is necessary is forbidding that God can choose someone without the physical water baptism.Paul

I have confirmed (at least to myself) according to the Enoch calendar and the King James version of the bible that the evening of April 23rd will commence the Passover at sunset. On that day the daylight will be approximately 10 Sacred Calendar hours (10 x 80 minutes = 800 minutes) of daylight in Jerusalem. The only new moon that could have…[Read more]
