@Patrick,
I am sympathetic to your situation for I have recently lost my position in a hospital that I have been with for several years because of knee replacement and no longer am able to perform my position at the level that is expected.
1. A door closed by God cannot be opened by man and a door opened by God cannot be closed by man!
2. Others maybe dependent on us, but we must always trust in the lord and be always dependent on him ( Proverbs 3:5-8; Philippians 4:19);
3. As for judgment on the world ( John 16:8-11), we must first judge ourselves to check our standing with God ( 1 Corinthians 11:31,32);
4. God has already judged sinners at the cross;
5. God will judge the world, nations, and people according to his holy scriptures by his son Jesus Christ ( Romans 2:14-16);
6. The judgment seat of Christ for born again Christians ( Romans 14:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:13);
7. The white throne judgment for persons who have not been born again ( Revelation 20:11-15);
8. Born again by the holy spirit only without water baptism or any other works related deeds that some religions require.
Please let's read the 7th verse and the 13th with this clarity: Jesus is God, Father is God and the spirit is God, is that right? If yes, does that mean that it is expedient for you that God goes away: for if God goes not away, the God will not come unto you; but if God departs, God will send God unto you. And at the 13th says that God the spirit of truth will not speak of God self but God hears what God shall speak and God shall guide you in all truth!! Please explain this to me. Thanks in advance.
I think this is one of the Bible passages every believer must memorize every day. It is a faith saying word of God, you can imagine a jobless graduate wakes up every morning to confess that word when obviously he knows he has no job. To me it is one of the powerful word of God in the Bible, furthermore it says I will rejoice and be glad in it, honestly it takes a giant faith to confess this because it is the same Bible which says every day is filled with evil, so why rejoice and be glad? But if truly you are a child of God and a man of Faith you will recall that it is this same Bible that said in John 16:33 that be of good cheer I have overcome the world. This is a vital reason why we need to rejoice and be glad. It is an awesome word of God.

1) Forgiveness of �sins� is a free gift based on baptism in water after �repentance of �sin. ( Acts 2:38) �repent and be baptized are � conditions. Forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit are �gifts. (see John 5:24) Eternal life is based on repentance from nonbelief to belief.
2) Scripture �DOES not say repent from �sins, but repent from sin. (see John 16:8a,9)

Believers are not under the law, and they cannot commit sins.
(Rom.5:13) (Rom.6:14) Believers CAN NOT SIN ( 1 John 3:9)
It is not sin, it is �spiritual adultery. (Rom.7:1-5, 1 Cor.6:15-20)
Moses's comment about verse 9 on 7/09/2011, 9:22am...
Christ DID NOT forgive �sin ( John 16:8a,9) Sin is repented from.
He freely forgives �sins. ( Acts 2:38) after repentance and baptism.

In response to : Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2/04/2012, 9:46am 1 John 1
1) We do not have a relationship �with Christ but �in� Christ. ( John 14:20) (1 Cor.1:30)
2) We as human beings can never be holy, and Scripture does not ask us to. Scripture says we are holy �in� Christ. (1 Cor.1:30) I �in� Christ, before God, Christ �in� me, before the world. ( John 14:20)
3) Scripture NEVER claims the Holy Spirit �convicts� believers of SIN! John 16:8a, KJV is a mis-translation. Convict is not the proper word here, perhaps �confute is.(it DOES NOT SAY SINS.� This Scripture says �the world� not believers.
4) Forgiveness from �sins� is a free gift based on a condition. ( Acts 2:38) The condition for forgiveness is baptism in water. V.38 also states that eternal life is for believing in Christ. (The �un-belief is �repented from) � the condition) ( Acts 2:38)
EG: Repent AND be Baptized for the forgiveness of �sins� and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. The first two are conditions, the second two are gifts..
Note: (baptism DOES NOT and CANNOT cleanse from sins, it is a symbol of such cleansing)
5) Believers cannot sin (un-belief) ( John 16:9) and believers ARE NOT UNDER the Law (Rom.6:14) so they cannot commit �sins�
6) The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses the new believers �sins� (repentance is from sin to belief)
Note: One IS NOT a �sinner because they commit sins. One is a �sinner� because of Adam. (Rom.5:12) so one commits sins because they are a �sinner.
7) When Believers fail, it is S/spiritual adultery.(1 Cor.6:15-20) (Rom.7:1-4)
Note: 1 Cor.6.18 all sin (sins) is outside the body (covered by and under the blood) EXCEPT Sexual sin (spiritual adultery) is against (inside) the body and must be stopped!
Note. S/spiritual adultery does not come under the blood, IT MUST BE STOPPED!

Hi; the John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:13 John 14:26 = Jesus speaking said,
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. This clarifys the issue of the Trinity that some seem to be having trouble with. don't fall into the trap of splitting hairs. The Word became flesh, just do what He says. regards.N
Jesus is prepairing his diciples for his death and ressurection that why he said alittle while you will not see me and a little while you will see me. only Jesus was raised from the dead not mohummand
Yes,this is what i believe according to new testament's new commandements.SIN :-> is not wanting to believe the words,and the personne of the Lord and Glorious Savior, Jesus-Christ.
Therefore this is why i love to say with the Holy Spirit. He who practices SIN:-> is not wanting to believe the words,and the personne of the Lord and Glorious Savior, Jesus-Christ.

William Kelly :1 Jean 3:4.
"Whosoever doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness?" This is a very different rendering from that of the A.V.; ...
Sin is not breach of law but lawlessness.
-This is the true sense. No other rendering is possible legitimately. What has ruled here is an utter mistake,founded on making the law instead of Christ the rule of life for the Christian, as people do who understand not the scriptures .
-
Pg.176,New International Commentary on the New testament- The Epistles of John,according to
-Howard Marchal. 1John 3:4.There are reasons to doubt that lawbreaking is to be understood here because the word �law� is completely absent.It is the same word as used in 2 Thess.3,7 speaking about the,
- man of lawlessness- which is referring to the one opposed to Christ and standing in opposition to Christ.
-
J.N Darby : 1st. Epistle of John,3:4
He who commits sin (not transgresses the law ), but acts lawlessly...
-
The writings of Hamilton Smith: The Epistles of John.-The apostles...states that, �Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness� (N.Tn.).
Sin is not simply transgressing a known law, as the defective translation of the Authorised Version suggests. The principle of sin is lawlessness, or doing one's own will apart altogether from any law.
-
Finally so many say so ,its why so many has denied the right to Jesus that has USED the phrases�the practice of sin,iniquity and evilness)Ex.as in John 8:34 Math,7:23 and John 3:20.
The right for the Lord Jesus that has given his difinition of sin( John 16:9 AS IN jn.8:34 THRU THE WHOLE CONTEXT- OPPOSITION TO CHIST) tHE REGRETTABLE ERROR OF 1JN.3:4 as so many, many, many commentators say,Tells me that it has denied the Master's teaching of his usage of the word to who John was faithful to.Therefore a regrettable error has ruled,and error means falsehood.
Only those translations that are saying "remission" of sins are correct to the original Greek which is the word "Aphesis". Remission & forgiveness are not the same. But above all, The Name Of The Lord JESUS Christ must be spoken, & both the baptizer & the one receiving the baptism must be qualified for it. The one must be an apostolic minister or anyone who has already been baptized in the Name of the Lord, & the one who goes through the baptism, to be taught prior to it, the importance & the revelation of the Name, & have full faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Below is a good article:
THE BIG
MISTAKE
This message is no doubt one of the most important messages you will ever read. It concerns a
commandment that was given by our Lord Jesus Christ, which is being carried out incorrectly by
nearly every church that is professing Christianity. This statement is true, even though the
command is plain and easy to understand. I am referring to the clear teaching of water baptism.
The various religions of this world baptize people with water 635 different ways. In the realm of
nominal Christianity, people are baptized primarily one way; this way omits the use of any name
at all. Thus, Satan with his crafty devices has seen to it that almost everyone who has been
baptized has been baptized wrong!
In the denominations of nominal Christianity, the Scripture verse of Matthew 28:19 is misused in
a very clever way. Matthew 28:19 reads as follows: �Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.� We must bear
in mind that when this command was given, no actual baptism was happening at the time. A
command was given, and God intended that it be carried out, not just repeated. Countless
thousands of ministers repeat the exact words of the command without ever doing what the
command says to do. Jesus specifically ordered that we are to be baptized in the NAME
(singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost! In order to find out what that name
is, we simply look in the Bible at incidents of water baptism after Calvary as administered by the
apostles of Jesus Christ. We will find that there is not one incident ever where anyone was
actually baptized using the words, �Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.� It was always done in the
saving name of Jesus, which fulfills the command to use the singular name. When we say the
words, �I baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,� we are in full obedience of Matthew
28:19. Jesus said, �I am come in my Father�s name�.� ( John 5:43). The angel of the Lord said
to Joseph regarding Mary, �And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins� ( Matthew 1:21). In John 16:7, Jesus said He would
send the Holy Ghost. It all happens in the name of Jesus!
We will now look at actual events of baptism to see exactly how it was done by the Apostles of
Jesus Christ. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, we will begin with chapter 2 where many
people who were listening to Peter were convicted of their sins and were looking for the remedy
to the problem. In Acts 2:37-39 we read as follows: �Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as
the Lord our God shall call.� As we can see, the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not even
alluded to by Peter as he answered their question, because the Apostles understood full-well that
Jesus commanded his saving name to be used to fulfill Matthew 28:19. Were the Apostles
correct in this matter? In Acts 2:41 we read the following: �Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.�
Another example of an actual baptism is found in Acts 8:14-16 as follows: �Now when the
apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent
unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost: (for as yet he was fallen on none of them: only they were baptized in the
name of the Lord Jesus.)
Yet another example showing how the singular name of the Lord Jesus Christ was being used in
water baptism is found in Acts 10:47-48, which tells us, �Can any man forbid water, that these
should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded
them to be baptized in the name of the Lord�.� In this example, we must also note that water
baptism was not simply suggested, but it was commanded! This is consistent with the very words
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, when he commanded in Mark 16:15-16, ��.Go ye into all
the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.�
One question that frequently arises regarding water baptism is whether or not a person should be
rebaptized if they had not previously been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. In Acts 19:3-5
that question is answered, and the matter is settled. The Apostle Paul met with some people who
had been disciples of John the Baptist and were baptized by him. We know that when John
baptized, no name was used, but it was simply done unto repentance, opening the way for people
to receive Jesus, the Lamb of God. After Jesus shed his blood on the cross, the saving name was
required in baptism. Even those who had received the valid baptism of John needed to be
rebaptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. That is why we read of this in Acts 19:3-5 as follows:
�And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John�s baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that
they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they
heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.�
At this point I must also point out that the word baptize, comes from a Greek word that means to
make fully whelmed, which means to put completely under the water. It was the Roman Catholic
religion that started baptizing by sprinkling and pouring during the time of the building of St.
Peter�s Basilica. Because they charged money for baptizing, they began to baptize infants,
because they needed the money.
We must also remember that the Bible tells us that we are not to be baptized into a church, but
rather into Christ! Romans 6:3-4 tells us in no uncertain terms the following: �Know ye not, that
so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.�
When we consider the subject of water baptism, it is essential that we remember that it is in the
Gospel! In I Corinthians 15:1-4, the Gospel is clearly defined as the death, burial, and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Thus, our repentance is the death of our old sinful self; baptism
with water in the name of our Saviour, Jesus, is our burial; and receiving the Holy Ghost is our
first resurrection unto a new life. The resurrection of all people at Judgment Day is the final
resurrection from the earthly graves. We cannot ignore any part of the Gospel, or we have
ignored the whole Gospel.
So much more could be said about this subject, and we can learn so much by reading our Bibles
rather than reading catechisms and other church books, which contain doctrines of men. The
points we must remember are: 1. Baptism is commanded. 2. Baptism must be by immersion. 3.
Baptism must be done using the name of Jesus. 4. Baptism must be done once the Gospel is
understood. Babies are not to be baptized.
It is a sad fact that nearly everyone that has been baptized in these last days has accomplished
nothing more than getting wet. It is a problem that can be easily corrected. Acts 4:12 will meet
all of humanity on Judgment Day, and it should be heeded now, while there is still a little time.
That powerful verse still echoes down the corridor of time with these words, �Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.�
Pastor David J. Meyer
Last Trumpet Ministries International
The Spirit of God in some sense had come, before the death of Christ; he had appeared in the creation of all things out of nothing, as a joint Creator with the Father and Son; he was come as a spirit of prophecy upon the inspired writers, and others; the Old Testament saints had received him as a spirit of faith; he had been given to Christ as man, without measure, and the disciples had been partakers of his gifts and graces; but he was not come in so peculiar a manner as he afterwards did; as the promise of the Father, the glorifier of Christ, the comforter of his people, the spirit of truth, and the reprover of the world: there are reasons to be given, why the Spirit of God should not come in such a manner before, as after the death of Christ. The order of the three divine persons in the Trinity, and in the economy of man's salvation, required such a method to be observed; that the Father should first, and for a while, be more especially manifested; next the Son, and then the Spirit: besides, our Lord has given a reason himself, why the Spirit "was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified", Joh_7:39; And the coming of the Spirit as a comforter, and the spirit of truth, was to be through the intercession, and by the mission of Christ; and therefore it was proper he should go away first, in order to send him; add to all this, that if Christ had not gone away or died, there would have been nothing for the Spirit to have done; no blood to sprinkle; no righteousness to reveal and bring near; no salvation to apply; or any of the things of Christ, and blessings of grace, to have taken and shown; all which are owing to the death of Christ, and which show the expediency of it: the expediency of Christ's death for the mission of the Spirit to his disciples, is very conspicuous; for hereby they were comforted and supported under a variety of troubles; were led into all truth, and so furnished for their ministerial work; and were made abundantly successful in it, that being attended with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power. ...Matthew Henry Commentary
john talks about the holly spirit being with us
God loved the world he gave his only son, so however be leaves in him shall not perish but will have the internal life.
concerning in the 1611 edition in this verse signified by the "spirit"
while in the 1769 is "Spirit"
is this a part of standardizing?
i believe with out a doubt this is the Spirit of God that did signify and guide them into all the truth( john 16:13)some in the old testament like zechariah 4:6 is no doubt that it is the Holy Spirit...which in those times the person of the Holy Spirit is silent.
Ahmed or Muhammad meaning the one who praises or the praised one is almost the translation
of the rnGreek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word Comforter
is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind
friend rather than a comforter. rnParacletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh)
actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh)
who is a mercy for all creatures.rnSome Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these
prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that
only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that thernHoly Spirit
was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth,
and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
john 16:14 is explosive. That the hidden mysteries can be revealed to me through the Holy spirit is so exciting to me. That means i can know the true riches that Christ has for me, and i can enter my inheritance. A.T.Okupe-
Obviously, through the gift of the holy gohst, in prayer through the gosple of jesus christ, and faith on an answer, we can than learn or recieve personal revelation and guidance from our heavenly and loving father as to what he wills us to do in any sittuation wither wecan than bring ourselves and his other beloved children to eternal happiness with him and his first son
It is a wonderfull passage we are not orphans we have a DADY walking with us, and the way that HE teach us is through his BIBLE other wise why HE took so much time and so many people to wrote this book ? so I rather choose to be lead by the word of this book than voices of my head even more we need to be clean in order to discern wich voice is from GOD and wich is not. And the only thing the GOD use to clean us, is scripture his written word as JESUS said you are clean by the word that I spoke unto you. then we must keep reading what JESUS said in order to be clean.
The Spirit of Truth is of whom is stated that will be sent . Even the commentary is missing the obvious . The Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit must be co - joined, if you give the Spirit of Truth a new title ( Holy Spirit ) then where does truth go. Remember How Jesus warns of the dangers of being born of Spirit only (John -3- )
We gain great understanding of the Holy Ghost through this chapter (and the previous).
He is a Reprover; the Guide into all truth (via the Bible); and will glorify Jesus Christ, and not Himself. There are certain groups amongst Christendom that need to align their doctrine of Pneumatology to these truths.

C.H Mackintosh : The First Epistle of John. Submitted by William Lincoln on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 05:00
�Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law. There again is another very bad translation .
It should be��for sin is lawlessness.�

William Kelly :1 Jean 3:4.
"Whosoever doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness?" This is a very different rendering from that of the A.V.; ...
Sin is not breach of law but lawlessness.
-This is the true sense. No other rendering is possible legitimately. What has ruled here is an utter mistake,founded on making the law instead of Christ the rule of life for the Christian, as people do who understand not the scriptures .

Pg.176,New International Commentary on the New testament- The Epistles of John,according to
-Howard Marchal.
1John 3:4.There are reasons to doubt that lawbreaking is to be understood here because the word �law� is completely absent.It is the same word as used in 2 Thess.3,7 speaking about the,
- man of lawlessness- which is referring to the one opposed to Christ and standing in opposition to Christ.

J.N Darby : 1st. Epistle of John,3:4
He who commits sin (not transgresses the law ), but acts lawlessly...
-
The writings of Hamilton Smith: The Epistles of John.-The apostles...states that, �Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness� (N.Tn.).
Sin is not simply transgressing a known law, as the defective translation of the Authorised Version suggests. The principle of sin is lawlessness, or doing one's own will apart altogether from any law.

Finally so many say so ,its why so many has denied the right to Jesus that has USED the phrases�the practice of sin,iniquity and evilness)Ex.as in John 8:34 Math,7:23 and John 3:20.
The right for the Lord Jesus that has given his difinition of sin( John 16:9 AS IN jn.8:34 THRU THE WHOLE CONTEXT- OPPOSITION TO CHIST) tHE REGRETTABLE ERROR OF 1JN.3:4 as so many, many, many commentators say,Tells me that it has denied the Master's teaching of his usage of the word to who John was faithful to.Therefore a regrettable error has ruled,and error means falsehood.
THE BIG
MISTAKE
This message is no doubt one of the most important messages you will ever read. It concerns a
commandment that was given by our Lord Jesus Christ, which is being carried out incorrectly by
nearly every church that is professing Christianity. This statement is true, even though the
command is plain and easy to understand. I am referring to the clear teaching of water baptism.
The various religions of this world baptize people with water 635 different ways. In the realm of
nominal Christianity, people are baptized primarily one way; this way omits the use of any name
at all. Thus, Satan with his crafty devices has seen to it that almost everyone who has been
baptized has been baptized wrong!
In the denominations of nominal Christianity, the Scripture verse of Matthew 28:19 is misused in
a very clever way. Matthew 28:19 reads as follows: �Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.� We must bear
in mind that when this command was given, no actual baptism was happening at the time. A
command was given, and God intended that it be carried out, not just repeated. Countless
thousands of ministers repeat the exact words of the command without ever doing what the
command says to do. Jesus specifically ordered that we are to be baptized in the NAME
(singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost! In order to find out what that name
is, we simply look in the Bible at incidents of water baptism after Calvary as administered by the
apostles of Jesus Christ. We will find that there is not one incident ever where anyone was
actually baptized using the words, �Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.� It was always done in the
saving name of Jesus, which fulfills the command to use the singular name. When we say the
words, �I baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,� we are in full obedience of Matthew
28:19. Jesus said, �I am come in my Father�s name�.� ( John 5:43). The angel of the Lord said
to Joseph regarding Mary, �And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins� ( Matthew 1:21). In John 16:7, Jesus said He would
send the Holy Ghost. It all happens in the name of Jesus!
We will now look at actual events of baptism to see exactly how it was done by the Apostles of
Jesus Christ. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, we will begin with chapter 2 where many
people who were listening to Peter were convicted of their sins and were looking for the remedy
to the problem. In Acts 2:37-39 we read as follows: �Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as
the Lord our God shall call.� As we can see, the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not even
alluded to by Peter as he answered their question, because the Apostles understood full-well that
Jesus commanded his saving name to be used to fulfill Matthew 28:19. Were the Apostles
correct in this matter? In Acts 2:41 we read the following: �Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.�
Another example of an actual baptism is found in Acts 8:14-16 as follows: �Now when the
apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent
unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost: (for as yet he was fallen on none of them: only they were baptized in the
name of the Lord Jesus.)
Yet another example showing how the singular name of the Lord Jesus Christ was being used in
water baptism is found in Acts 10:47-48, which tells us, �Can any man forbid water, that these
should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded
them to be baptized in the name of the Lord�.� In this example, we must also note that water
baptism was not simply suggested, but it was commanded! This is consistent with the very words
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, when he commanded in Mark 16:15-16, ��.Go ye into all
the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.�
One question that frequently arises regarding water baptism is whether or not a person should be
rebaptized if they had not previously been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. In Acts 19:3-5
that question is answered, and the matter is settled. The Apostle Paul met with some people who
had been disciples of John the Baptist and were baptized by him. We know that when John
baptized, no name was used, but it was simply done unto repentance, opening the way for people
to receive Jesus, the Lamb of God. After Jesus shed his blood on the cross, the saving name was
required in baptism. Even those who had received the valid baptism of John needed to be
rebaptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. That is why we read of this in Acts 19:3-5 as follows:
�And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John�s baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that
they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they
heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.�
At this point I must also point out that the word baptize, comes from a Greek word that means to
make fully whelmed, which means to put completely under the water. It was the Roman Catholic
religion that started baptizing by sprinkling and pouring during the time of the building of St.
Peter�s Basilica. Because they charged money for baptizing, they began to baptize infants,
because they needed the money.
We must also remember that the Bible tells us that we are not to be baptized into a church, but
rather into Christ! Romans 6:3-4 tells us in no uncertain terms the following: �Know ye not, that
so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.�
When we consider the subject of water baptism, it is essential that we remember that it is in the
Gospel! In I Corinthians 15:1-4, the Gospel is clearly defined as the death, burial, and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Thus, our repentance is the death of our old sinful self; baptism
with water in the name of our Saviour, Jesus, is our burial; and receiving the Holy Ghost is our
first resurrection unto a new life. The resurrection of all people at Judgment Day is the final
resurrection from the earthly graves. We cannot ignore any part of the Gospel, or we have
ignored the whole Gospel.
So much more could be said about this subject, and we can learn so much by reading our Bibles
rather than reading catechisms and other church books, which contain doctrines of men. The
points we must remember are: 1. Baptism is commanded. 2. Baptism must be by immersion. 3.
Baptism must be done using the name of Jesus. 4. Baptism must be done once the Gospel is
understood. Babies are not to be baptized.
It is a sad fact that nearly everyone that has been baptized in these last days has accomplished
nothing more than getting wet. It is a problem that can be easily corrected. Acts 4:12 will meet
all of humanity on Judgment Day, and it should be heeded now, while there is still a little time.
That powerful verse still echoes down the corridor of time with these words, �Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.�

is this a part of standardizing?
i believe with out a doubt this is the Spirit of God that did signify and guide them into all the truth( john 16:13)some in the old testament like zechariah 4:6 is no doubt that it is the Holy Spirit...which in those times the person of the Holy Spirit is silent.
of the rnGreek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word Comforter
is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind
friend rather than a comforter. rnParacletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh)
actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh)
who is a mercy for all creatures.rnSome Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these
prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that
only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that thernHoly Spirit
was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth,
and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
