I ASKED
HIM
TO PROVE IT TO ME
BEFORE
I WOULD EVER GO OUT AND ABOUT
AND
PREACH IT
This bothers me just a bit, friend. What about in the bible where it says not to test G-d?

Translation: I could care less about their doctrines. I just wanted to know enough to become aware for myself if someone ever tries to pull that crap on myself or any members of my church, to understand where they are coming from. This is called knowing your enemy.

I don't mean to be mean, friend. Not at all. But could you try not using caps so much and don't space out like that after every couple words? It makes reading your posts a lot easier.

THANK YOU
ILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION
BUT
THIS IS HOW I PREACH
WHEN GOD GIVES ME A MESSAGE
SO I AM USED TO DOING IT THIS WAY

ITS NOT A COMPLETE MESSAGE
BUT
RATHER THE HIGHLIGHTS
GOD FEELS APPROPIATE
FOR OTHERS TO HEAR

ITS NOT TEMPTING GOD
IT IS AFTER ALL
THE RIGHT WE HAVE BEING JOINT-HEIRS TO GOD
AND
YOU CAN FIND THIS EXAMPLE
ASKING GOD TO SHOW YOU
WHY YOU SHOULD BELIEVE A CERTAIN WAY
AND QUESTIONING GOD IS NOT WRONG
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE EXAMPLES WE HAVE
SPECIFICLY
IN THE BOOK OF JOB
EVEN
MOSES
QUESTIONED GOD
IN FACT
MANY HAVE
THAT WE BASED OUR EXAMPLES
OF HOW TO LIVE FOR GOD
HAVE QUESTIONED GOD
AND YOU KNOW WHY.......?
BECAUSE
WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
NOT A RELIGION
GOD IS MY GOD
AND MY FRIEND
SO
I SPEAK TO HIM
LIKE HE SPEAKS TO ME

THERE IS NO TRINITY

EVERYTHING
IS IN
JESUS
HE IS THE GODHEAD IN COMPLETE FORM

AND YES IT IS SCRIPTURE
WHEN YOU RECIEVE
THE HOLY GHOST
THE EVIDENCE
IS
SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES

AND MOST DEFINITELY
YOU GO ALL THE WAY UNDER THE WATER
SPRINKLING
IS NOT
SCRIPTURE
THAT IS JUST CATHOLICISM
AT ITS BEST
When you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, it is not always the case that you must speak in tongues as proof that you have been baptised in the Spirit, that is unbiblical.

Are all Apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all have the gift of healing? Do all speak in tongues? 1Cor12:29&30

In England there is Assemblies of God (AOG) Pentecostal and Elim Pentecostal.
AOG say when you are baptised in the Holy Spirit you must speak in tongues as evidence of this, Elim say you do not have to, Biiblically Elim is correct. I believe great damage is done to say we must speak in tongues as a sign we have been baptised in the Spirit.

I am truly glad you have turned back to God Joint Heir. I can empathise with what you have said about yourself. Thirty years ago I was very close to God and he wanted my whole life. Like you I went away for a long time from Him. It is only in the last year or so I have come back to Him.

Without going into detail here, there are pitfalls I have found when we try and pick up from where we left off with God before we turned away. We need to grow again, the world leaves its mark on us.

YOU THEN SPEAK
IN THE WILL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Well ok, but I'd appreciate it if you managed to speak in the Holy Spirit in such a way that I could actually read what you're saying.
Good English dictates that you should only press enter between paragraph breaks. Which you should have. But please not in the middle of sentances? Even an outline completes the thought before starting a new line. I don't mean to be rude or contentious, but I do find this style of writing extremely distracting and quite off-putting. It's very difficult to read, which tends to lead to me skipping over your posts. Obviously that's not desirable for anyone.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Two things from this verse: a) even though Jesus is in heaven, the Father is still present as well. In other words.. Jesus is not the Father...and Jesus speaks to the Father, even in heaven. Of course the Oneness believer would claim something like that this is Jesus's flesh talking to his spirit, which is nonsense. The Oneness believer thinks that Jesus became the Father when Jesus reached heaven, this is also disproven by these verses.

point b).. "his angels" -i.e. the Father's angels. Jesus does not own any angels, they belong to the Father. He did not say "my angels". Further proof that Jesus and the Father are two separate persons.

JESUS IS THE FUNCTIONING BODY OF THE SPIRIT GOD
SO EVERYTHING HE WILL DO IN THE FLESH
HE WILL REFER TO THE SPIRIT
AS HIS SUPPORT AND REASON FOR DOING IT

IN THIS SET OF SCRIPTURES
JESUS
IS CLEARLY
POINTING OUT
THE ANGELS ARE THE SPIRITUAL GODLY SIDE OF HIS FLESH
WHICH
DENOTES
OUR WALK IN GOD
IS NOT THRU OUR FLESH
BUT THRU OUR SPIRIT
INTWINED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

You think Jesus confesses His name before Himself in heaven? LOL.

You think Jesus confesses His name before Himself in heaven? LOL.

JESUS DOES NOT HAVE TO CONFESS ANYTHING
HE WAS SHOWING US
HOW TO BE
WHEN WE GO IN PRAYER OR SPIRITUAL WARFARE
AND REMEMBER
YOU HAVE NEVER CASTED OUT DEMONS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
ONLY
IN THE NAME OF
JESUS

The reason why I chose Revelation..is because it describes Jesus's relationship with the Father in heaven. Something you cannot argue against.. with your "Jesus on earth" verus in heaven theories.


AND REMEMBER
YOU HAVE NEVER CASTED OUT DEMONS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
ONLY
IN THE NAME OF
JESUS
That's true, because the Father exalted the name of Jesus... not because Jesus is the Father, or Jesus exalted Himself...


Philippians 2:9-10 (King James Version)



9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;


If Jesus is God..then how come it says God exalted Jesus?

Did Jesus exalt Himself? did Jesus give himself a name above every other name? No.. the name Jesus was chosen by God the Father and delivered to Mary via the angel.




But let me rephrase verse 9 in the way you would read it:

9Wherefore Jesus also hath highly exalted Himself, and given Himself a name which is above every name:

And so you are really adding to, or taking away from God's Word, albeit in your mind.

THERE IS A GOD THE FATHER WHO IS SPIRIT
WHEN A PORTION OF HIM BECOMES FLESH.......THE WORD
WHICH IS SPOKEN BY THE FATHER WHO IS SPIRIT
REPRESENTS
A REFLECTION OF THE SAME GOD IN 2 CAPACITIES
THEY ARE NOT SEPARATE PERSONS
BECAUSE
THE FATHER WHO IS SPIRIT
WHOSE
SPIRIT HIMSELF IS HOLY
IS STILL DWELLING IN THE FLESH
SPOKEN INTO EXISTENCE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF
OUR RECOGNITION AND DEATH FOR OUR SALVATION
IT IS THE SAME GOD
NEVER SEPARATED
BUT ONLY
REPRESENTED IN MANY FACETS

EXAMPLE
THE SAME SPIRIT OF THE FATHER AND SPOKEN WORD
WHICH ARE ONE AND THE SAME
IS THAT SAME SPIRIT THAT IS DWELLING IN US NOW
CALLED THE HOLY GHOST

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE THAT IS CLEARER TO MY DEFINITION
AS YOU READ THE WORDS I TYPE
IT IS THE WORDS I AM SPEAKING INTO LIFE SO YOU CAN READ
THESE WORDS REPRESENT ME
NOW
THE WORDS THAT YOU READ
AND THE MAN WHO IS TYPING THESE WORDS
FOR YOU TO READ
ARE NOT 2 SEPARATE PERSONS
WE ARE THE SAME
BUT
THIS IS HOW I CAN INTERACT WITH YOU
BUT STILL
MY WORDS AND MYSELF
ARE STILL ONE AND THE SAME

THIS IS HOW IT IS WITH GOD

it cannot be both, only in delusion and confusion can it be both i.e. 'mystery', mystery religions are not based on reason and truth, Bible is based on reason and truth.

There is only One God and His Name is Jesus Christ, there are no other beside Him, there is only Him, and that is it.
I TOTALLY AGREE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH I WAS RAISED IN AND THE PASTORS WOULD SAY IT IS A MYSTERY THAT WE SOMEDAY WOULD UNDERSTAND. I NEVER SAW IT AS A MYSTERY. FOR ME I UNDERSTOOD THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD IN THREE MANIFESTATIONS.

THE ONLY EXAMPLE I CAN THINK OF IS A MORTAL MAN CAN BE A FATHER, A SON, AN UNCLE, A HUSBAND, A GRANDFATHER, ETC. STILL JUST ONE MAN.

NOW REMEMBER TO LOOK AT IT THIS WAY
LETS SAY I AM GOD
THE WORDS I TYPE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ...WORD...WHICH IS JESUS
NOW
THAT WOULD MAKE
ME AS GOD AND MY WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO BE THE SAME PERSON
JUST ADD
THAT IF I AM GOD
I WOULD ALSO BE HOLY
THIS IS THE HOLY GHOST
SO
ME
MY WORDS
MY HOLY SPIRIT
WE ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON
WE JUST WORK IN DIFFERENT FORMS
THIS IS HOW THE FATHER - WORD - HOLY GHOST FUNCTION
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON
JUST WORK IN DIFFERENT FACETS
AND
THAT PERSON IS
JESUS CHRIST
