Not By Works

[NoNameMcgee]

It appears that YOU think "to fulfill all righteousness" mean the "righteousness of water baptism."

Did you look at the Scriptures given? Isn't that the "righteousness" Jesus was "fulfilling?"

John's water baptism of "Repentance; Believing that Jesus was coming" (Acts 19:4) had NOTHING to do with a LITERAL water baptism.

Did Jesus "need" John's baptism?

Did Jesus "need" to "Repent?"

Did Jesus "need" to "Believe that HE was coming?"

That was John's water baptism and Jesus didn't "need" it so it couldn't have been for as to follow as "an example." John's water baptism was ONLY "righteous" UNDER THE LAW "...saying unto the people, to Repent, and believe Jesus was coming" (Acts 19:4).

Why are you still believing on the ONLY water baptism authorized by GOD which was one of "Repentance; Believing that Jesus was coming" (Acts 19:4)?

Is that where you are TODAY - "Repenting; Believing that Jesus is coming?" If you believe in water baptism, that's where you are.

what?

Sorry! Is that better?

The question is not do you believe water baptism is necessary for salvation but do you believe in TWO baptisms one with water and another by the Holy Spirit?

i believe in Jesus Christ

a water baptism is like a cerimony

.... a work


something physical that represents what is spiritual


if i had a water baptism
and you did not

neither of us are above the other

what matters is being rooted in Christ
and the baptism of the Holy spirit is part of this


water baptism isnt part of this

just a cerimony that points to it

the same way water baptism doesnt clean one of sins or make them righteous


the animal sacrifices of the jews did not clean ones sins or make them righteous


it was just something that pointed to what was to come

Hi No name, I think incognito is asking if you are Pentecostal and believe in the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit", a secondary baptism, and proof of this baptism is speaking in tongues. I personally am not pentecostal in my biblical belief's.

ohhhhhhhh


the bible is clear in my opinion

not everyone has that gift even after recieving the Holy spirit


i have met people i truely do believe to be brothers and sisters mention speaking in tongues is something they have done

(even if i was or am sometimes skeptical... i will not reject the fact God has blessed some of His children with this gift)

but i have never personally experienced this

and i have also heard many lie and try to teach things like you can learn to speak in tongues when it clearly was a gift...

not a skill you can just learn to do


1 Corinthians
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

 

[TruthTalk]

Hi NoName, my cousin grew up in the pentecostal Church and I'm with you that they are our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is a gift like you say, "not a skill you can just learn to do", someone told me once to go home and pray to Jesus for the gift and He will give it to you. I did and it didn't work. Then He said go home and say, Jesus Jesus Jesus, over and over again and that should work, it did not....

[Seohce]

I have believed in the One whom the HEAVENLY FATHER hath sent!!

dcon says;

BLAH BLAH BLAH more working for pseudo salvation.....My bible teaches salvation is a present CURRENT possession.....

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy HAS HE SAVED US <--PAST TENSE

YES..JESUS did become SIN for us....<--Only a deceiver would reject this truth as well....

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

JESUS was BORN of a WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW and “was CURSED” when he hung on a TREE....<--Only deceivers would reject the word of God which states as much....

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "

FOLKS any and all who deny the above truths have proven they are not of GOD....DO NOT BELIEVE POST 59510..HE DENIES these truths and supplants them with HALF truths and deceit just like the garden when the serpent removed and then added his own words to the bible.......

Seohce

...”JESUS was BORN of a WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW and “was CURSED” when he hung on a TREE....<--Only deceivers would reject the word of God which states as much....”

THIS IS A CLEAR DECLARATION BY DCON THAT JESUS WAS “CURSED”.

I DECLARE THAT OUR LORD JESUS IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, PURE, HOLY AND UNDEFILED. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AND THE WORD THAT BECAME FLESH.

SINCE WHEN HAS THE GOSPEL CHANGED? WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT JESUS “WAS CURSED”?


... THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH “JESUS IS LORD” …...AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. (rom 10:9)

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is THE SAME yesterday and today and forever.(heb 13:5-8)

John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

Isaiah 5:20-24 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for THEY HAVE REJECTED THE LAW OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY and SPURNED THE WORD OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.

WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL JESUS “CURSED".

YOU HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT FOR THE FF;
I
FOR REJECTING THE LAW OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY
FOR HAVING SPURNED THE WORD OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
FOR CALLING JESUS “CURSED".

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

It appears that YOU think "to fulfill all righteousness" mean the "righteousness of water baptism."

IMO John's baptism of John was the fulfillment of the type and shadow of the commissioning of the high priest, who was washed with water at the door of the tabernacle. Moses washed and anointed Aaron the high priest.

And thou [Moses] shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water. And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest. Exodus 40:12-13 ​

John was a Levite greater than Moses. He washed Jesus with water at the door of heaven, and the holy spirit anointed him and clothed him with holiness and righteousness. This is when the priesthood transferred from the order of Levi to the order of Melchizedek.

Now [after he] was baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And behold, [there was] a voice from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17​

NO, I seriously think you MISUNDERSTOOD HIM.

Here is the Baptism, it REFERS TO, the spiritual Baptism that the Holy Spirit IMMERSES us into the Spiritual Body of Christ:


1 Corinthians 12:13 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

Colossians 1:18-19 (HCSB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] He is also the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] For God was pleased ⌊to have⌋ all His fullness dwell in Him,

Believing in a water baptism that was "fulfilled" by JESUS (Acts 1:5) and done UNDER THE LAW (James 2:10) is NOT being IN CHRIST. We have to become "a member of the body of Christ" (I Corinthians 12:13) by Holy Spirit baptism which is the "one baptism" mentioned in Ephesians 4:5!

If you don't "come in at THE DOOR" (John 10:1) which means THE WAY Jesus said, you are like "a thief and a robber" to HIM!

Jesus said you would have "SIGNS FOLLOWING" (Mark 16:16-20) which are MIRACULOUS "Signs" and that we would receive "POWER" after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:8) with "CONFORMATION!" Now that's "coming in at THE DOOR!"

Anyone who doesn't display what Jesus said we should have or try to enter "some other way" or LOST no matter what they believe!

It's not a matter of "being above the other" because we are ALL "One Spirit" what matter is doing it the way Jesus said

amen

i agree

What are these "signs" that must follow to avoid being labelled as "lost"?

YES! But we "MUST" become "SAVED" like JESUS SAID without "ADDING" or "TAKING AWAY"

Water baptism ADDS!

Doing a communion ADDS!

Not having "SIGNS FOLLOWING" TAKES AWAY!

Not receiving "POWER" TAKES AWAY!

i will repeat the question ariel asks

which signs are you speaking of?


and i will follow with this verse



___________________

john 6
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day

 

[Ariel82]

Is speaking in "tongues" one of those signs?

What kind of Power are you referring to?

Do you let poisonous snakes bite you to "prove" you have the Holy spirit?

I know some folks do, so I was just wondering.

 

[Incognito]

What are these "signs" that must follow to avoid being labelled as "lost"?

Mark 16:16-18 "He that believeth and is [Holy Spirit] baptized shall be SAVED. He that believeth not shall be DAMNED. AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW them that believe; In MY NAME they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents (Acts 28:3); and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

They're trying desperately to remove verses 9-20 from Mark Chapter 16 because they don't want people to know the TRUTH but I Corinthians 12:8-10 lists some of the same "Spiritual gifts" as in Mark 16:17-18.

In verse 20 Jesus said that we would have "CONFORMATION" of the "SIGNS THAT FOLLOWS" as Jesus said in Acts 1:8 when HE said "But ye shall receive *POWER* after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..." which enables us to perform the "SIGNS THAT FOLLOW" and in Acts 1:8 Jesus said that from the "POWER" we would be "WITNESSES UNTO HIM" that we could perform the "SIGNS THAT FOLLOW!"

Now this is where "We know them be their fruit" REALLY APPLIES! This is how Jesus says we should be able to CONFIRM that we are "IN" Christ!

Satan doesn't want anyone to know this! Why do you think all on here are against me?

The Vicegerent is working the Bible trying to remove "Spiritual gifts" and the "popes, priests, preachers and pastors" are working the people giving THEIR interpretation which was received from the Vicegerent and passed to these theological seminaries leading them down the path to destruction!

IT'S A MESS and all in preparation of the "One World Religion" under the "New World Order!"

Read "UN DIVIDES THE WORLD INTO 10 REGIONAL GROUPINGS" fulfilling the prophecy at Daniel 7:24 and to see that the POPE (aka Vicegerent) is the ANTICHRIST!
