Do the two witnesses drink from the same cup
and are baptized by the same baptism that Jesus was? I think yes
-
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me,
except it were given unto him of my Father.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
- Gods prohpets they would have to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in them.
-that there is a way to salvation
We are reconciled to God by the death of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:10).
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
-by his goodness the Father brings us to and grants us repentance (Romans 2:4).
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
-After repentance, we are to be baptized. (Acts 2:38).
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
-It is the Spirit that actually begets us as sons of God (Romans 8:9, 14, 16-17).
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
-the begetting agent that comes from God, the Holy Spirit is the earnest or
down payment, of our salvation (Ephesians 1:14; Romans 8:16).
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of
the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
-We are baptized into the truth by God’s power (Matthew 3:11; John 1:33).
3I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh 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:
-the Holy Spirit Is the Power of God , given to who he wants.
15He hath made the earth (by his power), he hath established the world by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
5I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, (by my great power)
and by my outstretched arm, (and have given it) (unto whom it seemed meet unto me).
-Jesus had Gods power with no measure, given even from conception.
15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
and shall drink neither (wine) nor strong drink;
and he shall be (filled with) the Holy Ghost, (even from his mother's womb).
34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
(for God giveth) (not the Spirit by measure unto him).
14And Jesus returned in (the power) of the Spirit into Galilee (Luk 4:14)
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; (mine elect), in whom my soul delighteth;
I have put (my spirit) upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Act 1:8)
“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding..
the holy spirit would come upon them , then they would witness
-Now if the Holy spirit was one of the witnesses? the Holy spirit would
have to be indwelled with the holy spirit, this does not make much sence.
