    Understanding God’s election

    Isaiah 63:9-10 describes the Holy Spirit as the "angel of His presence". Angel because the Holy Spirit can be sent, and where the Holy Spirit is, the Father is. God the Father is the invisible God that has all of those Godly attributes because our reality is in His mind. Time occurs in a...

    What mistake do most Christian make that widens the road to damnation?

    Ezek 3: 18-19 When I say unto the wicked, Thou salt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he...

    What mistake do most Christian make that widens the road to damnation?

    Romans 3: 10-12 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God: They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no not one. This verse clearly explains that...

    What mistake do most Christian make that widens the road to damnation?

    The road to salvation is narrow and few are those that find it. There are so many Christian churches and denominations in the USA which tells me that because the road to damnation is wide they must have a common error in their thinking. John 6: 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the...

    John's baptism was spiritual cleansing with water (a Jewish tradition). Read John 4: 2. When Jesus baptized, he baptized by preaching. In Matt 28: 19-20 (the great commission) Jesus says, " Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, (and in the process) baptizing them in the name of the Father...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    John 3: 5-6 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. The two different kinds of birth are of water and of the Spirit. "born of water" is explained in verse 6. That which is born of the flesh is...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    We get baptized in the name of the Father when He chooses you to receive His Holy Spirit by granting the repentance necessary for you to turn to Him for forgiveness. You get baptized in the name of the Son, when through preaching, you put your faith and trust on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    What many are not realizing is that salvation is a state of being produced by the Father and Son when the Son baptizes with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, according to Isaiah 63: 9-10, is the angel of His presence. In otherwords, where the Holy Spirit is, the Father is. So the Holy Spirit is...

    Understanding God’s election

    I'm trying to understand and at the same time trying to use common sense. Could you possibly tell me, in the Trinity, Father and Son have different wills. Which one commands? Which one obeys? Which one is sent by the other? Which one is the God of the Son? Did the Father exist before the Son...

Father God was referring to Jesus when He said: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father. … I will be his Father, and...

    Understanding God’s election

    The Son always agrees with the Father's will because the Son obeys the Father, but the Father's will does not always agree with the Son's will. Luke 22: 42 Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
