Matthew 3:10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the FIRE.

Matthew 3:11 I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and FIRE.

Matthew 3:12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable FIRE.

If the above "fire" is the fire of judgment then why do some preachers in church shout fire, fire, fire and as they do the people fall backwards??
See cronjecj there is more than one thing we agree on. I would think if you got past your first impression and heard what I really believe you would see we have a great deal in common, including our stance on salvation, sanctification, and justification.

I do not want to know nor have I any interest in knowing your doctrine, the same way that I have no interest in another Christ or another gospel or another Spirit. I want God's fruit and not the kind that you and others perpetrate about Israel and the church and the future kingdom. You are strange to me in this and I have no fellowship with you in it. I don't have to have fellowship to be a friend to you at all times, remember that. You and others can accuse me of hating you all you want, I know the love that is in my heart. I do hate your doctrine of 'amillennialism' with a passion and will fight those that continually influence and deceive others with it.
you're not FIGHTING anything with scripture! if its was true you would!

BUT ITS LIES AND YOU CAN NOT DEFEND IT.

you're on your own then....you and all the others who push that OTHER GOSPEL which is leading to another christ.

anything i post is for people who care about TRUTH over their own "ministries" and are willing to face they were deceived by dispensationalist deceivers.

people who "don't want to know" are NOT overcomers. they are APOSTATES.

If you had happen in you what happend in Jesus, you would understand what it is to be in His fire. Until it happens in you then it only happend in someone else. The refiners fire is Gods SPirit in you, same as He came to Jesus and opend heaven to that man as well. And only then did his life change and went about doing the things he did, same with any of who recieve from God, His FIRE, His Holy SPirit, Christ in me, He in me and I in Hm as one. You get that in you for yourself from God Himself, then you will be ignited and walk in that same light as He does. Until then, you are only striking a wet match.
I don't think you understand that scripture correctly. i say this because there is no 'fire' in that particular scripture. If someone can convince me otherwise please post up what you might think is the truth.

God is a consuming fire yes, He consume His enemies with His fire so God's fire is not something you wane mess with.

No one can convence you, only Gods Spirit in you can light that fire. And yes that fire is someting that you definatly recieve in you if you recieve His SPirit in you. Why on earth would you say it is someting you dont want to deal with? Are you saying that you dont what His fire in you?

Take into consideration the burning bush, to Moses.
Yes, the bush was burning yet it was not consumed because God wanted Moses attention.. God the great 'I AM' He is Jesus Christ too.

Psalms 104:4
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: (Angels ministers to Jesus Christ)
Yes His angels is ministers to Him, they are like flaming warriors that 'devours' God's enemies.

Hebrew 1
7Regarding the angels, he says,
“He sends his angels like the winds,
his servants like flames of fire.”
The same as above...

hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.
Yes God is a consuming fire, He devours His enemies. He is also the Lion of Judah in fact God has 365 Names in the scripture.

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
Yea i wouldn't mess with that fire.

God said there would be a remnant. I have seen many believers get twisted right out of the truth and enter into a kind of apostacy that stays religious with the scriptures but has no fruit into God.

What on the earth? i most surely don't want God's 'anger' 'wrath' 'judgment' 'consuming' 'burning' 'destroying' 'devouring'

Did you read the whole thread?

John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

These are two different things.

It easy to take them and put them together and form a question form something from it.

The fire Jesus is refers to is the fire of hell in matthew 3:10. But the fire of the Holy Spirit is not the fire of hell. It is as we read that every man's works will be tried by fire, and that which is good will remain but that which cannot withstand the fire will be burned up.

Now, we heard that there are many vessels that the potter has formed, some to honor and some to dishonor. Even as gold and silver are purified by the fire, so is one who is baptized with this baptism.

No one is baptized by hell (If I understood the question correctly.)

May Jesus bless you.

And I believe this people that dont believe in the holy fire are post tribber if I am not mistaken...
They say they have the truth, but they dont...

They think because the word fire is used for bad, it cannot be use for good

For example water
Water is good to drink
but it also bad because people can drown

and what about the word spirit
We know the word spirit is for demons, but it is also use for angels and God.

and what about angels... We know angels are the angel of God, but also they are demons...

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Find the truth my friends..... It will set you FREE

Well, I don't know anything about these things.

Jesus showed me very clearly that I am not to learn from people about him. And I was very saddened when he showed me the mess that was going on. I could not believe how many people believed the numerous phony gospels and messages, that came from prominent pulpits. But most of those pulpits will lead many to the pit.

So I don't know what ''holy fire'' is. I don't count on my weak brain to understand it, but if the Lord said he will baptize me with the Holy Spirit and with Fire, I say, ''LORD, GIVE ME YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, AND YOUR FIRE!!''

And if the Lord says, that bad trees get cut down and thrown into the fire, I say, ''LORD DELIVER ME FROM THE FIRE!!!''

May Jesus bless you.

Ramon, sorry but this is not solid proof enough that Jesus baptize us with fire as 'purification'........Still i am convinced that the fire of Jesus ain't a good thing. Did you read the whole thread? Jesus purify us by His blood not fire.

The truth is because of what Jesus Christ has done for us and that He is 'I AM' those who believe will inherit eternal life.

Amen, his blood washes away sins.

We can make this a discussion with nothing in-between, as I love to discuss these things. I am not trying to prove anything. Not at all.

There are many things that I would LOVE to discuss, but I cannot, until I see if someone is there to discuss with.

So, let's discuss this, and make this a good thread.

What I said was that the fire tries the DEEDS of the man. So that any deeds that don't hold up, will be worthless to him. This is the trying by fire.

But what this requires is a solid understanding of baptism. The Lord has not made it 100% clear about this baptism to me yet, so I cannot assume any knowledge about it, neither will I accept any until the Lord shows me.

But he has shown me a LITTLE about the fire as purification. Now, if fire gets onto wood, it will burn, or hay, it will burn, or stubble, it will burn. But silver and gold are purified by fire, not burned. They do not consume away, though they do melt.

So, with this small mind, I cannot assume anything. If it is good to be gold and silver, I desire to be gold and silver (speaking of spiritual things), and if it is bad to be gold and silver, I desire to be wood and stubble. But I want my deeds to stand the fire, so I am sure gold and silver is best.

Because after the smith purifies the gold and silver of its natural elements, he can then beat it and shape it into a tool that he could use to carry out his work. But it has to be purified first.

Many things the Lord gives to reveal to us our old natures and the natures of himself, and the nature of those who abide in him.

May Jesus bless you.
