No, Jesus did not lie in John 3:5 or in (John 4:10,14; 7:37-39; 15:3) You simply misinterpreted Jesus.
Not three God's but one God in essence/nature yet three distinct person's Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We pray to God the Father through Jesus Christ (who is our mediator) and in the Holy Spirit. Christians pray to God the Father directly, as Jesus taught, but also through Jesus, who acts as our high priest, providing access to God the Father. The Holy Spirit also helps in prayer by interceding on our behalf with "groaning too deep for words". So, while the focus is on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all involved in prayer. (Matthew 6:9-13; John 14:13-14; 16:23-24; 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 8:26-27; Jude 20)
I received the Holy Spirit when I placed my faith in Jesus Christ for salvation/believed the gospel. (Acts 11:17; 15:7-9; Ephesians 1:13) Now there is a difference between receiving the Holy Spirit/being indwelt by the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Indwelling is a one time event that is ongoing, while filling is a repeated state of being filled with the Holy Spirit's control. Every believer is indwelt, but not every believer is continuously filled with the Spirit.
This is being filled with the Holy Spirit followed by speaking in tongues, which is a fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Joel.
In this case but not in every case of being filled, as I previously showed you.
John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief and not on a lack of baptism. *NOWHERE does the Bible say, "baptized or condemned."
If water baptism is absolutely required for salvation, then we would expect Jesus to mention it in the following verses. (3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26) Yet what is the ONE requirement that Jesus mentions NINE different times in each of these complete statements *BELIEVES. *What happened to baptism? *Hermeneutics.
You left out pick up serpents, drink deadly poison and it will not harm them and lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. (vs. 18) Are those last three not a part of YOUR gospel?
Your EISEGESIS (salvation by water baptism using a rigid baptism formula of "in Jesus' name" only followed by speaking in tongues or else) is out of harmony with numerous passages of scripture. (Acts 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; 20:21; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:22-26; 4:5-6; 5:1; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). A blind man cannot see.
Oh, the irony.
Jesus doesn't need me to harmonize His word for Him because Jesus already full understands ALL of HIS word. Hermeneutics is for your sake because you do not properly understand.
I have the Son of God, (1 John 5:11-13) who is Jesus. As Peter stated in Matthew 16:16 - "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Many misconceptions about Jesus arise from a fundamental confusion surrounding his dual nature as fully God and fully man.
Thank you for your response.
Since you don't have the ability to see HIS word of what it says but put your person twist on things, we for sure will NEVER agree.
Dusting my feet.
Good luck.
