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!”
(2 Timothy 2:15 KJB!)

Great study. And very helpful .

Thank you, this will be helpful when I need it

Precious friend(s), is a joy to see it was helpful, and appreciate your encouragement;
see you In God's Great GloryLand!! ♫😇↑

Amen

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?

What website did you get this from?

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

Enjoy!

UPDATE {the First 18 are here - Distinctions }:

Prophecy/Law { earthly! }:
(19) "Sell everything/follow Jesus" = Commanded in Matthew_19 : 21,
Mark_10 : 21, and Luke_12 : 33, 18 : 22! The Twelve and Jewish
believers obeyed, In Acts_2 : 44-45 and 4 : 32!!

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2 : 15 KJB!) From Things That DIFFER!:

Mystery/GRACE { Heavenly! }!:
(19)
"...Work with your hands, to provide for your own/give to those in need..."
(Acts 20 : 35; Romans 12 : 11; 1 Corinthians 4 : 12; Ephesians 4 : 28;
2 Corinthians 12 : 14; 1 Thessalonians 4 : 11-12; 2 Thessalonians 3 : 7-12;
1 Timothy 5 : 8 KJB!)

Same {as before} 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!”
(2 Timothy 2 : 15 KJB!)

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."

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.

Amen.

* Note: disciples is found up until Acts 21, but not Once in
God's "Revelation Of The Mystery" (Romans - Philemon).

Hello Grace, the image of God mentioned in Revelation is also a mystery as the same image is expressed in Jesus Christ who is the image of the invisible God but prophecy is like Adam toiling hard and the serpent eating dirt and walking on its belly
