Die to yourself, then resurrect with Him. He came to give life. His life. So in reality, all that Christ is becomes you. Because of Christ, you become sinless, righteous, just, perfect, holy and so much more. Not because of something you did. Go help the poor. Do it. But just keep this in your mind; Helping others isn't what saves you. Jesus is.

You're a child of the Devil. Why? Because of sin. But, you can become a child of God. How? Through Jesus. Don't just say you believe Him. Know Him, understand Him, trust Him, rely on Him, and have faith in Him. Because faith has no power on its own. But faith in Jesus however, has tremendous power.

I'm not saying this to condemn you. I was in your exact shoes. And I rebuked the fact that I used to be a child of the Devil. But ignoring it, won't change anything. I was condemned, lost, weary, broken, hurt, and loads more. But only because of Jesus, I became a child of God. And now, I can finally call God my Father.

The truth may hurt. But it's better than a sweet lie. And please don't take any of this out of context. I hope the Lord speaks to you.

God bless.

I've simplified her message. took out the insecurity and the anticipation of rejection by the kind and understanding CC bible discussion regulars.

why you see the need to attack and tear her apart, I don't understand at all. perhaps you saw her youth and decided it was a sign of weakness?

However, God's Spirit is stronger than our insecurities.
 
All I have to say to Elizabeth is: Thank you for obeying God. To Me, you did not come off as rude or anything like that. You know what God is talking about and that makes it obvious that the Holy Spirit is in you. Keep it in you. Burning like a Hot furnace fire.
I applaud your faith. Through it God has given you wisdom, courage, and more faith. I struggle in my faith, It shows. I get anxiety attacks when I talk about even the Gospel. I would probably be flopping on the floor if I wrote and posted the truth like you did. Even now I shake and have slight heart palpitations.
Keep the faith. Keep the Holy Ghost fire and keep in God's Word.
God Bless
 
[h=3]Acts 13
[/h]King James Version (KJV)

13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

[SUP]11 [/SUP]And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

1. she meant to say WERE.
2. The big bang thing is totally irrelevant to the Original post and her initial message.
3. she has stated again and again the baptism does not save JESUS does. would you like me to quote them for you?

No. You & I know what she said (or meant to). Thing is, will anyone else? When we talk, we mean to say one thing, & it looks like something else. Writing is no different, except we have the opportunity to proofread it before we post it. Will the simple understand? Her intended audience was sinners..... & have no discernment whatsoever. What will they see when they read it, if other christians in here didn't catch it?
 
People see my age, and they immediately criticize me. Weren't you my age before? "Don't judge another person just because they sin differently than you."
Sin, doesn't matter. But sin, is the only thing on your minds. Was on mine too. I'm not here to judge,ridicule, nor am I here to hurt your feelings. I'm simply speaking the truth. The Lord spoke the truth, and everyone despised Him. the Lord speaks through me, and that's just how it is. Whether you agree, or not is totally up to you. I'm not pointing a gun at you, asking you to believe every single word I say.

God bless,

That's what I'm saying. But even Christians need a reminder once in a while. I know I do. I don't know abou the rest of the people here. Because I need to remind myself, over and over again of who I was. Because I wasn't the one who saved my soul. Christ is. And this message, is a way for me to remind myself. People take it in as though I'm pointing my fingers at them. But, all I can say is, "If the shoe fits, wear it."

I want to know how Jesus took my sins during baptism...
Click to expand...

I do not see his water Baptism as he took away the world's sins in his Father's sight. Rather on his way fulfilling all the Law and Prophets from the first Testament about him. He was on his way to the cross to take away the sin of the world. He had to be water Baptized, as a fulfillment of Levitical Priesthood Law. John when Christ showed up said in John 1:29 behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
John did not want to water Baptize Christ, he would have rather of Christ baptize him, but Christ said to him that he (Christ) must do all that is right.
Okay and remember John had said that he only Baptized with water and the Christ Baptizes with Holy Spirit and with fire, that Christ is the one that comes after him.
Okay there was no water Baptism to the public before John the Baptist. There was water Baptism in the First Testament though and it was not to the public, it was for the Levite Priests only
John's water Baptism was the first in public and John was from the lineage of the Aaronic Priesthood, preparing the way for Christ to do all that was needed to be done in order to bring in the New Covenant. First by the death this new Covenant was brought in Hebrews 9:15-17, A new Priesthood Heb. 7:11 and new Laws of Love God's type that no flesh can do ever do Heb. 7:12
[h=3]Hebrews 7:11-12[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]11 [/SUP]If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Okay you see Christ even said that he came to fulfill the law not destroy it, fulfill it Matt. 5:17 and then as he was about to die, he yelled out it is finished , John 19:30, and gave up the Ghost.
So did he do as he came to do or not? did he die for your sins all of them? He did at least according to Col 1:22 you are made perfect by his death at the cross by his death he has cleansed us so we can go to Father and ask for the new life in him, being by Christ made Holy from Father's perspective and we enter in by Faith, walking as Christ walked listening and being led by God as Christ was while here on earth in flesh his flesh, perfect that is, born of the Virgin Mary. A life-giving Spirit
So by Faith we are dead to the flesh our flesh that we were born with and now made alive to God in Spirit by the resurrected Christ, his death is our death at the cross.
Hope this helps in your walk of truth that you are learning from God as you do not give up belief in God's amazing love for you and all

The doorway to the new life is through the death of Christ

[h=3]Philippians 3:10-11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]10 [/SUP]that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [SUP]11 [/SUP]if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
 
I don't know what sinners will take from her message. I believe they will react as the Pharisee and scribes did to Jesus message and wish to stone her.

I can't speak for other Christians.

What I see is a young Christian learning how to speak as God moves her. What I see is someone we should encourage instead of tear down when she tries to speak the Gospel to others.

What I wish to see more of is people following God's word and direction about the building up and encouraging of others who walk the path of Righteousness as God has encouraged us through His Holy Spirit.

Philippians 4
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [SUP]7 [/SUP]and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[SUP]8 [/SUP]Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. [SUP]9 [/SUP]The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

John 8:44 not 4:44. Made a mistake.
I don't need to explain, because I already did. Sinless in the spirit, but sin is still in the flesh. Because that's the only things the devil can feed off of. The entire Bible is to be read spiritually. And it's not meant for everyone. "Do not give a pearl to hogs"
Not my thoughts. It's not about me. It's all about Him. Everyone is talking about sin this, and sin that. Well sin, isn't the reason you go to Hell. Unbelief is. That's all I can say. That's all God wants me to say.

God bless.

I'm not against you. If you only knew how I wish there's a prophet around us so the false teachers and prophets can be exposed. But the thing is, you owe me this much to explain and to answer, if He speaks through you.

I think you are mistaken, her intended audience are not unregenerate sinners with no discernment but those who claim the name of Christ who have backslidden and herself.
 
In the end, it's the very people in the Christian faith that will bring this faith to the ground. A wolf in sheep's clothing. God already said this would all happen. So, don't be shocked. Cause I'm standing firm. I've fell too many times. I was ashamed of God. Now look at where I am. In the end, it's not how you start off your walk with God. It's how you finish it. Like Paul said; "I fought the fight, finished the race, and kept the faith"
Likewise, that's my purpose. Cause as long as God can save one soul, He's happy.
God bless

I can explain. But I don't want to, if you don't want to listen. If you do, I'd be more than happy to. Honestly.

Not your age, but the message. I can see a lot of applause here. It's a good thing - you spoke our heart. Is it a godly message? I think so. Is it from God? I'm iffy.

It's a message that God intends for us to hear. Because we are all only human. And we can all be stubborn. This message isn't to be read with a carnal mind. More of a spiritual one. Because God is a spirit. And we can never comprehend His spirit with a carnal mind. Not possible.
God bless.
