“Not I, but CHRIST – 101” …Blog.
***
(Galatians 2:20) I have been
crucified with Christ, and I live; yet
no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that
life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, Who loved
me and gave Himself on my behalf. [John
7:38-39]
*** (2Corinthians
4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans
8:9] in earthen [our human bodies] vessels; that the Excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and –> ‘NOT’ of us.
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and
to walk humbly ‘with’ your God?
*** (Isaiah 26:10) Let favor be shown to the
wicked; ‘Yet’ he will ‘NOT’ learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he
will deal ‘unjustly’, and ‘Will Not’
behold the majesty of Jehovah the LORD.
*** (Jeremiah 13:23) Can the
Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots? Then you also may do
good; who are ‘Accustomed’ to: Doing Evil!
Each day I
visit some… of the On Line Social Sites. Face Book, Twitter and a few others. Any
day of the year, there is someone saying “Something Other”… than the Holy Word
of God! The possibly largest topic is: “Water Baptism!” Many or Most churches
perform Water Baptism as part of their ministries. MOST do NOT know that WATER
cannot possible save “ANYONE!” This is especially true in the Baptist
denominations, where Church Membership is dependent on Water Baptism there or a
“Letter of Baptism!” from another Church. MANY miss the Scriptures: and go
right to that Churches “Denominational Teachings! This in MANY Cases disagrees
with Scriptures, the Holy Word of God. “ALL Denominations are “MAN MADE!” And
NO, I am NOT singling out the Baptists. Here in Florida, SOME Churches Baptize
at the ‘Beach!’ Since we are to be the… “Salt of the Earth” [Matthew
5:13] … why NOT in
Salt Water…? Oh Yes, in case you missed
that one, it is a Joke: as there is NO Command in Scripture to use “Salt Water!”
QUESTION…?
*** Ephesians 4:5 One LORD, One Faith,
One “BAPTISM”….!
… Is that One “BAPTISM”…? The Holy Spirit
Baptism, “1Corithains 12:13”… OR: is it ‘SIMPLY WATER’, which ONLY gets one,
Wet…?
Please Answer… with Scriptures…?
*** (1Corinthains 12:13) For also by one Spirit we
are all baptized [1Corinthians 12:13] into one body, whether Jews or
Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit. [John 7:38-39 & Acts 15:8-9]
*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of
righteousness which we
have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of
regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
*** (1Corinthains 1:17) For Christ did ‘NOT’ send me [Paul]
to Baptize; but
to Preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words; lest the cross of Christ should
be made of no effect.
*** (Romans 11:6) But if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of works, then it
is no more of grace; otherwise work
is no more work.
Water
Baptism and Salvation – 101 Blog.
Salvation, being “Born AGAIN” [from
Above] by the Holy Spirit of God…
is based on “Several Symbiotic Things!” The Finished Work of Redemption by
Christ Jesus, the Passover Lamb of God: “1Corinthians 5:7”…! And the “Grace,
Love & Mercy of God!” Many do NOT understand these “Scriptural Facts”! And
so, that they easily confuse their Church Teachings: with the Holy Word of God!
The Grace of GOD: is NOT based on “Any Human Effort!” What did You DO: to “EARN
your Birthday Present”…? Was it NOT: “A GIFT?” Our “Human Depravity” is
inherited from ‘Adam & Eve!’ Each one is “Born A Sinner”… and operates as
such. The Scriptures teach that there is NO INHERIT Good in any of US! A simple
‘reading & study’ of the ‘Book of Romans’, makes that quite clear. NONE of
us… “Comes to Christ Jesus”… on our OWN! He GOD… draws [Compels] us… with the convicting
“Holy Spirit Power & Conviction!” [2Timothy
2:25-26]
***
(Romans 3:10-11-12) as it is
written: "There is NONE righteous, NO, NOT ONE;
(Rom 3:11)
there is NONE that understands,
there is NONE that seeks after
God."
(Rom 3:12)
"They are ALL gone out of the
way, they have together become
unprofitable, there is NONE that does
good, NO, NOT ONE."
***
(John 6:44) No man can
come to Me [Jesus], except the
Father [God] which hath sent Me draw [Compel] him: and I [Jesus] will raise him up at the last day.
*** (John 6:37) All that the Father [God]
gives Me [Jesus]; shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me; I will
in NO way cast out. [John 10:16]
*** (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in Me
[Jesus], as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing
from his heart." [Romans 8:9]
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit, Whom
those who were believing in him were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was Not yet
present, because Jesus had Not yet been glorified. [Acts 2:1-5]
“Rivers
of Living Water – 101” …Blog.
…
*** (Galatians 2:16) Knowing that a man is “NOT Justified”: -> by works of the Law:
-> but through Faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ: -> that we might be Justified by the
faith in Christ: -> and ‘NOT’ by works of the Law. For ALL flesh -> will ‘NOT’ be justified: ->by
works of law.
*** (Galatians 3:11) Now it is obvious that NO ONE is justified in the sight of God by the law, because "The righteous will live by FAITH."
May I ask a Simple Question…? Can You take your Bible and… “Defend
your Faith”… with “Multiple Bible Chapters & Verses”…? IF: You Cannot…
THEN: You are simply Parroting: “What” You have learned from your ‘Church or Denomination!’
Have You ever had anyone remark, “You are judging ME”… after posting Bible
verses? That is simply the “Evidence of Holy Spirit Conviction”… which cannot
be brought about by any person. Many do NOT understand the Doctrine of the Holy
Spirit! And thus have a problem understanding “Salvation in Christ Jesus!”
Absolutely “NO HUMAN EFFORT” can bring about Salvation; it is ALL: “THE BLESSED
WORK of GOD”…! He Commands: “Repentance & Gives IT”…! [Acts 17:30-31 &
2Timothy 2:25-26] Your response is ONLY to His, “Grace & Mercy & Love”…!
***
(Ephesians 4:30) And do
Not grieve the Holy Spirit of God: by Whom you are “SEALED”… until the day of redemption.

*** (Acts 20:27) For I did ‘Not’ keep back; from
declaring to you; “ALL” the counsel of God.
*** (1Corinthains 16:22) If anyone does Not love the Lord Jesus
Christ; let him be Accursed [Damned]. The
Lord comes! [Again]
Holy
Spirit Conviction - 101
*** (Luke 16:30-31) And he said, No, father Abraham, but if
one should go to them from the
dead, they would repent.
(Luke 16:31)
And he said to him, If they do not hear
Moses and the Prophets; they will NOT be persuaded, even though one rose
from the dead.
…
*** (Galatians 2:16) Knowing that a man is “NOT Justified”:
-> by works of the Law: -> but through Faith in Jesus Christ; even we
believed in Jesus Christ: -> that we might be Justified by the faith in
Christ: -> and ‘NOT’ by works of the Law. For ALL flesh -> will ‘NOT’ be
justified: ->by works of law.
*** (Galatians 3:11) Now it is obvious that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because "The righteous will live by FAITH."
“MANY”… miss that the Holy Spirit... “John 7:38-39”... and the Spiritual Baptism...
“1Corinthians 12:13 & Ephesians 4:5”... is a “Divine Transaction”: Done by “GOD ALONE!” Did ‘You’
purposely miss.... “Acts 15:8-9”...
where GOD sees their “Hearts”... and HE ‘Only’... gives them: His Holy Spirit… “Ephesians
4:30 & Romans 8:9 & 2Corinthains 1:21-22”!

is ‘Salvation?’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (2Corintahins 5:10) For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
so that each one may receive the things done
through the body, according to that which he has done, whether good or bad.
*** (John 12:48) He who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not
receive My Words; has One who judges him; the Word that I have spoken; the same shall
‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.
*** (Acts 17:11) And
these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word = with all readiness of mind = and = searched the Scriptures =
“DAILY” = to see if those
things were so [or NOT?].
