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!)

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"...

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?

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.

Precious friends:

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

GRACE_ambassador said:

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...

newborn babes, little children, children of God, lively stones,
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation; people
of God; a peculiar people unto God, above all the nations that
are upon the earth; elect Of God, kings, priests, overcomers.

which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And

in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed."

Precious friends:

Please Be Very Richly Encouraged and Edified In God's Differences
and Distinctions, further Scriptural Evidence of God's Two Different
Programs for Different [ earthly twelve tribes ] people, who are
Distinct from : . . . . . . . . [ Heavenly One Body ] persons.

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

Precious friends:

The first 18 'differences' of prophecy vs Mystery are here: Distinctions,
and Updates of # 19, # 20, # 21, and # 22:

Update:

23) "Entering the kingdom"?:

prophecy / covenants / law for earthly Israel = faith + works to enter:

"show works meet for repentance" (Matthew 3:8), because,
+
"to the twelve tribes of Israel", "faith Without works is dead"

(James 1:1, 2:17,26)

+
"keep the commandments" to "enter life" (Matthew 19:17)
+
"one thing thou lackest...sell All / take up cross / follow Jesus"

(Mark 10:17-23)

+
"he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved"

(Matthew 24:13; Mark 13:13 AV)

Confirmed By:

Judgment of goats and sheep:

"When the Son of man shall come in His Glory, and all the holy

angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His Glory:

And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate

them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And He shall set the sheep on His Right Hand, but the goats on The Left.

Then shall the King say unto them on His Right Hand, Come, ye blessed

of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation

of the world:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave

Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Naked, and ye clothed

Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.

Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee

an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw

we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee?

Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren,

ye have done it unto Me." (Matthew 25:31-40 AV)

Prophecy / Covenants / Law, for earthly Israel

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

23) Mystery and Grace for The Heavenly Body Of Christ = "Grace Through

faith" to "be Translated Into The Kingdom":

"Even when we were dead in sins, Hath Quickened us together with Christ,

( By Grace ye Are Saved; )...For By Grace Are ye Saved Through Faith..."

(Ephesians 2: 5, 8 AV)

+

"Giving thanks unto The Father, Which Hath Made us meet

to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Who Hath Delivered us from the power of darkness, and

Hath Translated us into The Kingdom Of His Dear SON:

In Whom we Have Redemption Through His Blood, even

The Forgiveness Of sins" (Colossians 1:12-14 AV)

Further Confirmed By The Judgment Seat Of Christ:

"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every

man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,

ye are God's building.

According to The Grace of God Which Is Given Unto me, as a wise

masterbuilder, I have laid The Foundation, and another buildeth

Thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth Thereupon.

For other foundation can no man lay than That is laid, Which Is

Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon This Foundation gold,

silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for The [ Judgment ] Day

shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall

try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built Thereupon, he shall

receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer

loss: but he himself Shall Be Saved *; yet so as by fire."

(1 Corinthians 3:8-15 AV)

* By 'Grace Through faith', Having Already Been 'Translated Into

The Kingdom!'

Amen.
