disciple: how were you saved? did The Father Tug on your Heart? was it by The Blood? It's True,many pastors and others say: just say this prayer or be baptized and your Saved. Many are on The Wide Road./ No one can be Saved without The Father's Call: John 6:44:a tug on your Heart. Without The Blood of Christ,there is no Salvation.The Change is Instantly! The next Day We will know by The Fruit.
This is an open invitation to everyone on this site, who believes they have a strong knowledge of the Bible: Where is it written, that we are to only accept Jesus as our personal Saviour, and ask Him to come into our lives? I say that this a false teaching, not based on the Glad Tidings preached by Jesus, the prophets or apostles; but one made up by modern impostors in the churches. Please answer!
I see a few comments I find a little confusing concerning baptism and salvation. One receives the Holy Spirit at the moment of conversion, not baptism. Also, simply "believing" in Jesus is not salvation. Remember that the devil and his angels believe! It is repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ..amen!
Jesus spoke of the Spirit concerning Laz. Therefore he let the death of the body occur. What! But he knew a demonstration of the power of God was necessary. It became a political tipping point as the High priests plotted his sacrifice to save their position in the Roman state
Jesus certainly knew his fate and also knew he the Father who would stage these events for the sake of all the doubters
V. 10 - is yet another prophesy of Acts 2:38 - the receiving of the 'light' (Holy Ghost, after being baptized using the NAME of Jesus); altho' it is common to receive His spirit before water baptism, but water baptism has to be in there.
I know that whosoever believes in Jesus and follows the pattern he has given, that is, repent of our sins, offer ourselves and be Baptised by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ and remain in the fear of God (process of sanctification), we shall receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and will be saved. This is the process of salvation laid down in the Bible for us to follow.
This means that only Jesus can save us. He gave His life on calvary to save a sinner like me and for sure once you accepted Him as your Personal Lord Saviour, definitely you will have an eternal life in Heaven. Thank you Lord for this promise.
The chief priests and Pharisees; " ..... and the Romans shall come ..... "; Matt. 6:33. They saw everything the ordinary Jews saw- who accepted Him. Money and power.
the only thing I know is that man was created on the sixth day so what I have bin looking at to try and understand this is that GOD rested on the seventh day and I believe this to pertray him who will sit at the right hand of jesus just as jesus sat at the right hand of GOD this is the day the serpent was talking about your eyes will be opened and man will be like one of Us. immortal I hope.!
This chapter has to be one of the most profound in all scriptures, revealing Christ's tender, merciful heart, and God given power over death. I love the Christ, and His atoning sacrifice for all mankind. I know that through Him and the gift of repentance that I have the hope to became even as He is. He has commanded us to "be ye therefore perfect even as I and your Father in Heaven is perfect"
"Jesus wept." John 11:35 "But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ." 1 Corinthians 8:12 "Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees." Isaiah 35:3 "Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend." 1 Corinthians 8:13 "Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert." Isaiah 35:6 "For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong." 2 Corinthians 12:13 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence he will come and save you." Isaiah 35:4 "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Romans 8:12-14
Jesus compared death to sleep in this chapter showing that he has the power to undo death by resurrecting someone just as easily as someone can be awoken from sleep.
The Word teaches there are some who are alive TODAY who will never die-see v26. Be blessed in Christ. Amen. 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Whosoever is me : I am alive and I believe in Jesus Christ that God raised Him from the dead : Therefore I shall never die. I am a Believer in the resurrection and yes I believe that Jesus is the resurrection and the way , the truth and the life. Totally : Totally : Awesome !!!!!
We are just pilgrims-- passing through -- this world is not our home. (If we believe in Jesus Christ) Jesus said in John 14:2-3, In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, ... that where I am, you will be also.
Some say our SAVIOUR will pour His wrath upon both the righteous and unrighteous which is a most-unrighteous belief in itself. Do not strive with these but rejoice in the truth of the Father's Word and preach the truth as you receive it from Him. We must love our enemies. In Christ, God bless you. Psalms 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. Psalms 119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Psalms 145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Heavenly Father, thank You LORD GOD for blessings innumerable and gifts unspeakable! In Christ Jesus we are saved! Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. John 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Jesus certainly knew his fate and also knew he the Father who would stage these events for the sake of all the doubters
