Water Baptism Does Not Save Install.2

Hello World:
The Lord spoke to me to add these scriptures in this series for clarity that salvation is in His Son Jesus Christ and believing in His Son Jesus Christ, not in something else.

1 John Chapter 5: Verse 4; "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

Verse 5; "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

Verse 6; "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

God wants me to mention that in that above scripture, when it says that Jesus Christ came by water and blood, it is saying the same thing that Jesus scientifically told Nicodemus, which I pointed out in installment 1 of this series. The scripture is saying that Jesus came in the flesh, like human beings are born.

Apostle John goes a step further as led by God to mention that Jesus had blood too. This is the witness by the Spirit of God, that Jesus had a body of flesh, and that He had blood and bled for us. Although Jesus was NOT an ordinary human being, He is still God and the Son of God come in the flesh at that time. So, do NOT confuse this with water baptism.

Moving to the other scriptures:

Verse 9; "If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son."

Verse 10; "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son."

Verse 11; "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son."

In other words in the above, God hath given to us eternal life in His Son and, again, not in water baptism. We have to believe in His Son and repent of our sins and confess our sins. I will go into confession later on in this series with the connecting scriptures.

Verse 12; "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."

So, verse 12 above is saying if you have not the Son of God you do not have eternal life. You may have something else, but that something else is not eternal life. Eternal life WITH God is too important to be without for everybody.

Verse 13; "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Water Baptism Does Not Save Install.1

Hello World:
This subject today is something I have not covered directly in past post. Let me start by saying that there are 3 TYPES of baptisms for BELIEVERS, which I plan to go into at a later time. In regards to getting saved, being born again or receiving salvation there is one baptism(Ephesians 4:5), AND IT IS NOT WATER BAPTISM.

Therefore, I need to clear up some things concerning water baptism, or a person being immersed or submersed in water. At the time I am starting this topic, there is another topic that is related to this; so I believe this is going to be a series of posts, and I just have to decide on how I want to title each posts coming up in relation.

There are several or a number of preachers, churches and people in general who teach and believe that a person can be born again or receive salvation through water baptism based on what Jesus said in St. John Chapter 3: Verse 5. However, that is the wrong interpretation of what Jesus is saying. NO, JESUS IS NOT SAYING A PERSON MUST BE WATER BAPTIZED TO BE BORN AGAIN OR RECEIVE SALVATION OR TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ABSOLUTELY, NO, NO, and NO!!!(emphasis with all the caps).

I am going to use a piece of email I sent to someone, earlier this year, to begin explaining about water baptism. What I am going to say came from God. Most preachers and ministers do not even know this. So, I am going to tell you as led of God.

In the Bible, in St. John Chapter 3, Nicodemus sets the stage for the revelation of being born again. It is Jesus, who is asked by Nicodemus, who gives the revelation. Nicodemus asked a very good question to Jesus as to how can a man be born again, by entering into his mother's womb a second time? That question is very important, and again, I am taking this from my email as a starting point for this topic.

Jesus follows his question by saying, "except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." What many people fail to realize is that Jesus not only knows about the things related to God, but He is also smart concerning earthly things and or science. So, I am going to explain, as I have been led by God, what Jesus ACTUALLY MEANT.

Jesus answered Nicodemus question in the first part, by describing the primary make-up and natural birth process of human beings. In other words, "a man be born of water" describes two things from a human physiological or scientific point. When a mother gives birth, her water breaks, and then the baby comes forth. Also, in conjunction with that, human beings are at birth up to 78 percent water, and adults are around 60 percent. That is the being born of water, that Jesus was talking about. That is the first process of a man or human being. The second part of the process is believing in Him, Jesus Christ, and repentance with the heart, which is the spirit part of the process that Jesus was saying.

So, Jesus was saying to Nicodemus being born from the mother's womb, ONCE, is part of the process that human beings take, but it is important to go further and believe and repent and accept God's Son to be able to enter the kingdom of God. It is a progression or sequence for human beings. I hope that makes sense in how I am explaining.

Jesus further confirms that is exactly what He is saying and meaning, above, when He says next, that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. He is comparing and contrasting the two, and showing how mankind or human beings have to go through both in that sequence, based on the question asked by Nicodemus. I will be back to continue this.

The One True God Pt.5

Hello World:
The One True God, as mentioned in St. John, gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to bring salvation to those who believe. The one true God and Jesus Christ are bonded together in relationship for eternity.

Jesus said, in St. John Chapter 10: Verse 30; "I and my Father are one."

Jesus goes on to say in Verse 36; "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

Verse 37; "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not."

Verse 38; " But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in Him."

St. John Chapter 1: Verse 1; "In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God."

Verse 2; "The same was in the beginning with God."

Verse 14; "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

Scripture Ref: 1 John Chapter 5: Verse 7; " For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Also I mentioned in previous posts back from scriptures from the book of 1 John, not St. John but just 1 John, where it talked about he who has the Son has the Father, and he who has not the Son has not the Father(paraphrase). The Son, being Jesus Christ and the the Father being God, the Father.

I also brought out, before, from the book of 1 John that God says he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ is antichrist. So that is very important in establishing who one is serving and who is the one true God. That is why Allah and Yahweh or Jehovah can Not be the same. In the Muslim or Islamic religion Jesus is only considered as a ordinary human being who was a prophet. I had several Muslims tell me that, which is not true.

What that means is based on the differences in how Jesus is viewed by Islam, and seperately how He is viewed by Christianity, someone is wrong and someone is right. Both Islam and Christianity can not be both right, because there is clear differences in regards to the fullness and deity of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, Yahshua, came in the flesh, but was more than just a ordinary man or prophet. He is extraordinary and greater than all the prophets. He is the only person who had the Spirit of God without measure. He is Lord and King, and His name is higher than any other name given among men.

Again, according to those above scriptures, the fullness of Jesus as the Christ and His deity with God stands TRUE, which I believe. Also, based upon my experiences with God, I know the One True God in relation to being linked to Jesus Christ is true. My relationship with God, which goes beyond any religion, bears witness to the one true God and the truth about Jesus Christ.

So, not only in Islam but any or all other religions with gods, if your God does NOT have an only begotten Son, named Jesus Christ, Yahshua, who was with God IN THE BEGINNING, and was God, just like all those scriptures said; and came in the flesh being born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles and healings, was crucified and died and rose from the dead, conquering death to save mankind from our sins, and who is now seated in Heaven and glorified on the right hand of God, the Father as Savior and Lord.

If your god in whatever religion you are in does not have all that, in the above paragraph in common with Jesus Christ, then your god is not the one true God, and is false and completely SEPERATE from the ONE TRUE GOD who, again, is heavily linked TOGETHER WITH JESUS CHRIST who is the TRUE SAVIOR AND LORD.

The One True God Pt.4

Hello World:
This is the other post I was led by God to add to this series on "The One True God". I finished this series awhile back and did not have the contents of this post included, until after reading some more scripture quotes from Jesus very recently. It was while reading those scriptures, the Lord told me He would like for me to add them in this series.

The scriptures I am referencing today come from the beginning of St. John Chapter 17. Please note that I am specifying the book of St. John, and not the other books with the title of John; as I from time to time, and in this series go back and forth with both books. However, note that St. John is a different book from the books of I, II and III John. They are all in the same Bible.

In St. John Chapter 17, Jesus Christ is praying to God the Father. The purpose of me presenting several of the scriptures from His prayer is to point out, from direct quotes from Jesus Christ, himself, who really is the one true God. Also, I want to make mention, that Jesus also confirms, by speaking of His relationship and link to the one true God, that what I have been saying is true about the one true God.

St. John Capter 17: Verse 1; "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:"

Verse 2; "As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given Him."

Verse 3; "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Verse 4; "I have glorifed thee on earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."

Verse 5; "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."

I want to point out something else, I believe I need to clarify in this series concerning the words true and false. In this age, if there is something true, then generally there is something that is false or opposite that which is true. So, when I say one true God, and Jesus says only true God, we are implying that there are false gods out there.

Generally speaking, being true means it is the real thing and can be or usually is the right thing, unless there is irony involved. In contrast, being false, means either not real and/or not right. It is a deception, and masquerades or disguises as being true. Just because something is false, does not mean it does not exist. It may not exist, as that can be one definition of false. However, something that is false can still exist, but be wrong.

What I mean by wrong means that it is bad for you, bad news, something that will cause major problems and something that can be deadly or lead to death; and not just physical death, but in VARIOUS OTHER WAYS. Remember again, being false is completely the opposite of being true. Again, being true is USUALLY right, but not always with some exceptions, but usually; and also again, but not always the case, something that is true could potentially be good and life giving.

From those above scriptures, we see Jesus Christ identifying God, in Heaven as the true God., Now, Jesus does not say one true God, but He does say Only True God. So, Jesus in essence is saying that this God is the only God that is true. In combination of saying that, Jesus says that God is in Heaven, and He has a Son whom He has to glorify; and that He, Jesus Himself who is saying all of that is God's Son.

Jesus in those five verses above, links the true God with being up in Heaven, having sent a Son named Jesus Christ(english), eternal life for those with Jesus Christ, and the fact that Jesus Christ is deity, in that He says He was with God before the world was.

I know that Jesus is a person who speaks the truth. So based upon Jesus' words, here, it can be seen that the One True God, Jehovah, Yahweh and Jesus Christ are literally related to each other. In other words, Jesus, by His existence, words and life validates the one true God that He is with. So, if we want to be with the one true God, and have everlasting life, we need to believe in and follow or be with Jesus Christ.
