Grace And Peace, Precious friends. The following may or may not be helpful.
However, thanks for your Consideration, and, Please Be Very RICHLY Blessed in:

Basic {and more} Distinctions of Prophecy vs Mystery:

Basic Distinctions between Prophecy and the Mystery! (C.R. Stam)

----------------------------------------------------

I have further compiled More Distinctions In God's TWO Different Programs!:

Prophecy/Law:
(15) The TWO "Main" (of 12) baptismS =
A) water, For remission of sins!:
(Matthew 3:5-6; Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3; John 1:31; Luke 7:29-30; Acts 10:37)
(Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Ezekiel 36:25 KJB!)

+

B) "WITH" The Holy Spirit, Poured Out
By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah 44:3; Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8, 16:17-18; Luke 24:49;
Acts 2:17-18, 38; Acts 8:15-17; Acts 11:16 KJB!)
RDf

Mystery/GRACE!:
(15) Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION,
Spiritually "Identifying" members In (The Body Of) CHRIST!!
(Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3-4;
1 Corinthians 12:13 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law:
(16) Forgive others FIRST, THEN God Will Forgive!
(Matthew 6:14-15, 18:35; Mark 11:25-26; Luke 6:37 KJB!)
RDf

Mystery/GRACE!:
(16) Forgive others BECAUSE CHRIST Has Already FORGIVEN us!
(Ephesians 4:32 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law:
(17) Taught how/what to pray! (Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2 KJB!)
RDf

Mystery/GRACE!:
(17a) we Are Exhorted to "...Make our requests known Unto God!"
(Philippians 4:6 KJB!) While, At The Same Time, God "Teaches":

(17b) Concerning our infirmities, we "know Not" what to pray "as we ought,"
But "The Spirit Intercedeth FOR us, According To The Will Of God!..."
(Romans 8:26 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law { earthly! }:
18) "watchmen," { as CHRIST Told the Jews On the earth! }, looking for
The "wicked one, the deceiving man of SIN" And "signs" (Matthew 24 KJB!)
RDf

Mystery/GRACE { Heavenly! }!:
(18) ambassadors { As CHRIST Told Paul, From Heaven! }
LOOKING, WATCHING, And WAITING For! = The Holy One,
The LORD JESUS CHRIST {From Heaven! }
( Romans 8:18, 19, 23, 25; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Ephesians 6:12-18;
Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:2, 4:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:5-11;
2 Thessalonians 3:5; Titus 2:13 KJB! )
-----------------------------------------------------
probably more… But, sorry, for all the views of prophecy/Mystery =
only ONE gospel, and, Peter and Paul “preached” The SAME thing?:

Conclusion:

“things that are Different are just Not The SAME,” correct?
-----------------------------------
LORD JESUS, thank You For All Your Divine Help
in our understanding of Things That Differ!
-----------------------------------------------

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth!”

[GRACE_ambassador]

I see you have probably read chapter 2 of Cornelius R Stam book, "Things that differ"?

Yes, his "Baptism and The Bible" {poison book I "borrowed" for my baptist pastor} got me out of baptist "tradition" and, then "Things That Differ" got me correctly started on my 30-year Rightly Divided journey. Praise God for the previous warriors in "The Controversy," {another of his enlightening journals.} I pray I can "plant a few seeds"...

How about you?

Yes, along with Les Feldick, who is more of a TV minister, CR Stam's books have really changed the way I was taught how to interpret Scripture.

Berean Bible Society has a book: "Things That Differ":

paperback or e-book

I cannot understand your message. I got a warning not to use other people's blogs, but I can prove that they are my own and not others.

Also, my last copy did not promote another blog, or mine, as I never gave any other blog addresses. I first removed every single address of mine, so that my blog address did not appear in my message.

There was one very short email, where I may have accidentally gave my email address. I tried to remove the email address, from that message, by changing and deleting it, but I couldn't find a way to remove my old message.

Surely, that safety to you, should be okay now?

Precious friend, I am truly Sorry that you Misunderstand my message.
You do not have "to prove any safety to me."

In all kindness, the Title of this Bible Discussion Forum thread is:

"Basic Distinctions Between Prophecy And Mystery"?

And you are welcome to participate with Relevant questions about this
"topic." However, IF you persist in:

"going OFF - topic with what you want to post that IS NOT Relevant,"

you will "be reported yet Again" and probably be Banned by the "moderators" of Christian Chat.

As previously stated you may "start your own thread" with your material.
Pick the "appropriate" Forum and click on the following at the "top of
the page," on the right-hand side: Post thread

I hope you now understand. God Bless!

Update {the First 18 are here - Distinctions, #19 - here }:

Prophecy / Covenants / Law { earthly! }, the "kingdom gospel":

(20) Jesus and the twelve "healed everyone"

"When the even was come, they brought unto him many that​

were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with​

His word, and healed all that were sick"​

(Matthew 4:24, 8:16, 15:30-31; Mark 2:3-4, 6:54-56)​

+

"Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them​

power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And​

He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick...​

​

And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the​

[ kingdom ] gospel, and healing every where." (Luke 9:1-6 AV)​

+

"There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto​

Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with​

unclean spirits: and they were healed every one." (Acts 5:16 AV)​

Why?:

a) The nation of Israel is called, By God:​

​

"And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an​

holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak​

unto the children of Israel." (Exodus 19:6)​

​

b) The first "Requirement * to be a priest unto God":​

​

"No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the​

priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD​

made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh​

to offer the bread of his God." (Leviticus 21:21 AV)​

​

c) Thus all were healed in order to "meet God's first Requirement * ​

of no blemish for the priesthood."​

​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

Mystery / GRACE { Heavenly! }! Christ, to Paul, One apostle to the Gentiles:

(20) Today, Under The "Gospel Of Grace", According To God's Perfect Will,"

Not all are healed. Why Not?: No priesthood 'calling', but 'this' Is found​

in Romans - Philemon:​

"And He {Christ} Said Unto me, My Grace Is Sufficient For​

thee: For My Strength Is Made Perfect in weakness. Most​

gladly therefore will I rather glory {cp} in my infirmities [ #link# ] ,​

that The Power Of CHRIST May Rest Upon me!"
(2 Corinthians 12:9 cp 2 Corinthians 11:23-30 AV)​

​

Same {as before} Conclusion:

“things that are Different are just Not The Same,” correct?​

----------------------------------
* Note: the Other Two Requirements for Israel's priesthood were

"water [ washing by John and the twelve ) baptism, and anointing​

of oil [ Christ's Baptism with The Holy Spirit { at Pentecost } ]",​

​

Neither of which are For us Today, As God, Under Grace, Now Has Only:

ONE [ Spiritual ] Baptism!​

-----------------------------------

LORD JESUS, thank You For All Your Divine Help
in our understanding of Things That Differ! (online)

Amen.

 

[Yalanischel]

Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, because life's greatest lessons are learnt through pain.

Precious friends:

The first 18 'differences' of prophecy vs Mystery are here: Distinctions,
and Updates #19 is here, And # 20 is here:

...probably more… But, sorry, for all the views of prophecy/Mystery =
only one gospel, and, Peter and Paul “preached” The Exact Same thing?...

Update:

21) The Second prophesied Coming of The Son of man To earthly Israel

has a 'gathering' [ but not a 'rapture' ("catching up") ]:​

Christ "Sets Up His Throne Of His Glory" (Matthew 25:31), and with:​

​

Another trumpet ( After "the 7th angel trumpet” in heaven ), on​

the earth, angels Are 'Sent', By The KING, To: “gather the elect”...​

(Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:27 AV)​

​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

21) The Mystery Coming Of The Head Of The Heavenly Body Of Christ Has

A Gathering, "Catching Up Into the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 AV):​

CHRIST “Gathers His Body” To Himself, to Take them To Heaven...​

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:49; 2 Corinthians 12:2, 5:1-2;​

Ephesians 1:3, 20, 2:6; Philippians 3:20; 2 Timothy 4:18!)​

​

Further study: God's Great GRACE Departure! ( aka 'rapture' )

Amen.

Distinct from : . . . . . . . . [ Heavenly One Body ] persons.

Amen.
