Once anyone, decides to believe God, between God and them. Then the new begins in being born again by God not anyone else, including self
I see Accepted, Forgiven and sealed by God Father of risen Son for us all to be new in love and mercy too, thank you Father, PaPa, Dad, to all not a few. I am at the Altar, about to give a gift. Then I hear before leaving this gift, go and be reconciled to all those I have harmed in past eternity. I never could find all, I went and did as lead to do. And am still in process learning new daily too, standing in thanksgiving and praise all sin taken out of the way by Son for us all, as far as the east is form the west. Floors me daily Psalm 100:4, 103:12.Col 1 :21-23, Ezekiel 36:26
Trusting God for the maturity in humility given me to see clearly. Understanding I would rather be a blind man that sees over a seeing man that is blind. I saw a blind person say to a deaf person, I "See" as he picked up the hammer and saw. The deaf person heard by knowing trust to God alone.
To see and do is a gift from above, no need to be rewarded, since the reward is given us form God to love all in the same mercy and truth given us all first, by Son the One (Won) that Won for us to be new in trust it is finished John 19:30, the work(s) to get in as saved. Now is a gift by continued belief to God no matter what happens, thanks Pilgrims hope for the truth you posted
Amazing grace, thank you Father and Son as Won (One)
“Once anyone, decides to believe God, between God and them. Then the new begins in being born again
by God not anyone else, including self”
yes that’s why we should learn what he taught us about things because it’s all his way not our way .
God has given us this promise
“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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39 KJV
we can respond by rejecting it and saying “ God saves us we don’t save oureelves “ or we can accept what he’s done and partake of the promise in his word . The doctrine of the gospel is Gods salvation . It’s been given To all and will save anyone who accepts it
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
Non believers aren’t rushing to get baptized in his name is the thing but people who believe his word about Jesus dying for our sins and being raised for our justification and then hear the message about baptism in his name for remission of sins ……that belief leads them to get baptized willingly because they believe the message God sent to us about Jesus and his kk from
the point is that’s what
HE said about being saved . So we need to accept it if we’re saying o my he can save us or make us new . That stuff is what the gospel is all about
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
John 3:5
Notice when Jesus began to preach the gospel
this happened first and a voice came from heaven saying “ this is my son in who I am well pleased “
even as Jesus began his ministry he was
born of water and spirit.
“And it came to pass in those days, that
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and
was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway
coming up out of the water, ( born of water )
he saw
the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: ( born of spirit ) and there came a voice from heaven, saying,
Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”( the son of God is announced )
Mark 1:9-11 KJV
when we say “ God does something “ this isn’t a reason to reject how he said things are accomplished . It’s the reason to accept it so for instance
“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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.”
Acts 2:38-40 KJV
some of the people there accepted what Peter was saying so they got baptized in Jesus name believing the gospel . Others when they hear the exact same words reject what Peter is saying so these folks have no reason to ever get baptized in his name because they don’t believe the word pertaining to it.
there’s no reason to get baptized in Jesus name for remission of sins if we don’t believe what the word says about it
Does that make sense at all to you ?
bit of a person believes this part
“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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39 KJV
“
I came not
to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32 KJV
God made the promises we have to hear them and believe so that we will act. He’s already suffered and died for us and told us all we need to know but we can reject it and receive that reward or accept it and be saved
The only reason baptism means anything is because of the word telling us what it means to be baptized into Jesus
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
Romans 6:3-6
only belief matters if I believe what Paul’s telling the church I’m going to want to be baptized in his name for remission of my sins and be United with him in his death for me . If I don’t believe what Paul’s teaching the church there’s absolutely no reason for me to get baptized in Jesus name
“ I’m “already saved “my sins are “already forgiven “….has become the reason people reject Gods valuable doctrines that promise salvation if we believe his word …..
