Peter baptize the Jews believer as no to go back and participate in the temple rituals, to follow the new direction, the same for the idolaters not to go back to what they new before they believe. To day people baptize the catholics not to go back and practices of the RCC, to find their freedom from rituals and see Jesus only, Not mix paganism and Jesus .

I am water baptize my self, even many times, every church that I went , they want to be the ones to baptize you, I accept Jesus instruction, speaking to retualistic nation, not just for that. Jesus said, after you beleive, separate your selfs from the the rest of the world, follow me, you are my nation, a holy nation, save your selfs, not from Hell, that's my blood for it, but from the coraption of the world, I did not say no, only not to use it to judge faith in Jesus , the blood of the Attoment. Not to scare the children of the blood of Jesus that they are going to Hell. Free them from the fear of Hell.

But if you go to a church, and they want the people to be water baptize, Then you are face with the question? Do you want them to love you and wellcome you, and look at you as a clean believer , and make you to be an usher, the you have to be water baptize, that's their way, If not they are going to see you as polluted, do you thing they can see the intention of your hart without the outwardly rituals and your confession? Judge for your self. That's why they need the rituals together with your faith. But you know not Jesus Christ.

When someone believes Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins, he is under the blood, he is under the attonment of Jesus without any RITUALS, Who is going to put fear in the children who are under the blood? Go ahead find a way, tell his people who have obey God and have believe in his Christ , that Jesus will sent them to hell, put the fear in them, use some argeements, make them see themselves in Hell , so they run to be Baptize in water to be saved from Hell, Go ahead use water Baptism, say Jesus did not did all, say something all the time to judge them, use fear to guide them to heavens , to save them, That's why Paul spoke agains water Baptism, because of the abuse on believers. But I am not against if someone see it as a detication to a new life's direction, to leave behind the old lifestyle seeking a new one ahead of him, But you can do that by renewing your understanding , and taking a stand for it. Now if you were an idolater and you need a sing for others, re: don't invite me to partake in the idolatric retuals , for prosperity , fertility, ......... now I have Jesus for those blessings, I have renownce these powers from my life, I want the holy spirit to guide me, that ok, be water baptize, BUT DON'T JUDGE THE BLOOD OF JESUS You having bought by the blood of Jesus Christ before you were water baptize, You don't need the water Baptism to belong to God, only the blood of the LAMB.

posters are frequently speaking up for themselves. some have not accepted any correction, and some have. the great majority of multitudes of people on earth never accept God's help (they never acknowledge that God helps them, if He does/ sending rain or sunshine or other needs as He graciously does) , and don't even want to ask for it. i.e. they never accept correction, so they die in their sin. Brother , this is one most bewtifull things to say God sents the rain and and the help we need, but we don't accept it all the times, (I will be huble, it happens to me too), that was a very good statement , we ofen act like we are the truth. God Bless.

Why he does not speak for he self , perhaps he has not accept the correction

Be carefull, what you suggesting, And the way you taulking about the people Jesus loves very much. Jesus loves you too, not because you are without any strange ideas, then whom he is going to love? I see you are inviting an examination, I sure hope so. Please I. D. The issues and the relevant information, for an orderly go at it. Who said and when, and to whom, " my GOD and your GOD" Do you see this as an offence to Jesus? Remember, Jesus said many things, about himself, what do you thing, I am the life, and the light if this World, I am the resuraction, you must not like it when he said, "I am the son of Man" My Father whom you don't know is in heavens, and I am he who sent to be the Christ, I am his SON, not the Father in the heavens, I wiil die for the forgiveness of sins, God raise Jesus from the dead and gave him .... I am the Door to the heavenly Father, he is our peace with the Father. I come from the BOSSOM of the Father the one who has never spoke to no one only to me.

Thank you for responding, in my understanding I will leave some things to God, trying to concetrate in my walk in the will of God. God bless.

Can you please, tell us more about the literal Kingtom on earth? I can not see a picture of it in my mind. Are the people going to eat during that time? Are we going to have transportation ? Manufacturing? Are we going to have garbage colaction and disposal? Are we going to have animals?

Are you judging faith in Jesus Christ? Means, been under the blood of Jesus Christ. and the free gift of righteousness, been born from above? When someone believes is he not in the Kingtom of God? Jesus Christ, has diferent kinds of children, not only the self righteous and the joyous, and the peaceful, those who have judge themselves as holy. Jesus said: I will wipe away your tears, and he is taulking to his sad children. Jesus says: to his children, let me help you with your anger, and hatred, and sadness, and your afflictions. Do you get the message?

I pray that Jesus Christ open the eyes of the Jews and forget, something, and remember that they are the children of Agar, and Esau, and turn their eyes to the one who despise been the Lord God of the Jews, for what benefit, they were separated during their life time and when they died someone else comes and takes them away. (read your scriptures). He said enough is enough , I will come in the flesh, I will be EMMANUEL , CHRIST the SAVIOR and died for the whole world. Enough praying, the lazy job, learn something and tell someone about your faith. Learn new tehnics , have smart conversations, stop making Jesus that he is not doing anything , stop accusing him, he gave the task to the good stuiards and stop stealing the work, efford and fruit of the workers on the field as your own credit . Jesus does not need you, needs workers. Everything is possible if he has workers and only workers, cause the workers can pray also.

You have a lot of insecurities and if that's how you are right now, you must learn to accept yourself as you are, and don't beat up yourself for ever about that, you must be an intelligent person, resist your moods, develop a reactive attitude, taulking to your self, like you are taulking to someone else, give some new life to you, what are you gone cry over it or alcohol or .....cuddly that too , go to worship meetings and sing songs participate in singing over and over uplift your self and you will develop and establish in new thoughts. And Jesus looks at you and he knows how to help you, through the holy spirit, don't make him responsible he works with you as you work with your self, he is watching over you. He wants you to fight back and don't surrendered your self in your moods.

The question is " The Lord Jesus Christ", As a beleiver that's how I see it. a) I belong to his family, because of the blood of the new covenant, adopted in his blood.And his spirit. b) independent from my obedience I have a heavenly place waiting for me, c) He has all authority in heaven and earth. In my life, he is my savior, and i want him also to guide me and to make his specific will know to me. And he save me from the power of sin, not that I don't sin, but because the Devil can not use sin as a reason to take me to Hell. The Devil had no authority to make this decision. That authority belongs to Jesus. I am free from the condemnation of sin, the power of sin to give death. Jesus became sin for us, so we can live our life's Free from the fear of sin.

This is addressing the leaders and mature believers, who think God gave them, other believers as servants, shame to them, they make the children of God servants to them, shame to them one more time. Instant of lifting them up, they abuse them, because they were abuse like that from other leaders in the past, and they think the can do this to others, now that they are leaders, resist them, go to some other church who respect people, if you see they have someone to wipe their swet and someone to hold the water glass or the bible, for them , you get the idea. Lift up your self, and keep distance when you are with them. God bless, help your self, and Jesus is with you to make you strong, dont buther your consience .

. Paul's mind is clear, he does not exaggerate to impress or to make Jesus suffering the worst than anybody's else's. Paul is sober in evaluations he says what he means, at least this time. Jesus did not go to jail but I am gone to jail. If you want to see something, you may say: Jesus went to the spiritual Hades (jail) for me, AND I AM IN THE EARTHY JAIL, where he did not go. (John the Baptis went to both). He says jail was missing from Jesus, but it is part of the believers, if it comes to that. Jesus detention is not within the meaning of jail.

You are emotionally confuse , you need a cooling of period. And don't just dig in your heels, and defend your ground, I did not say that for you to see me as an enemy and so you see the need to defend. You must first learn to discern your own spirit and the afflictions of your own soul, and understan the spirits of others who try to influence you, and you mistake them as the Holly Spirit, learn to tell the diference. Learn something. First you find your soul with afflictions, then you may be adding, weight on, and you believe all this is God and the idealist making you a hero and you feel excelrated . ........ Good script for a movie. You led people lead you, and you manipulate them to find ( you think so) peace and propose....... Give your self cooling time, sometime it takes up to two years. Be careful

That should state "Jesus shall reign (future tense) over the kings of the earth, and those kings who remain will be redemeed and under the authority of Christ. At present, God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ are allowing Satan to be the "god of this world", since a time will come in the very near future when Satan will be given complete authority over all the rulers and nations of the earth (Rev 13). Please note carefully how great will be the control of Satan for 42 months (3 1/2 years), and take specific note of verses 5,7, and 8: 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. In view of this, we cannot possibly postulate that Jesus is presently reigning over the kings of the earth. That would require that Satan and all his evil spirits and demons are presently confined to the Bottomless Pit, and that is really not true. It is one thing to be deceived by Satan. It is another thing to be self-deceived. Ezra that is not what Revelation 1:5 says. It says Jesus is reigning over the kings of the earth right now. "Shall" does not need to refer to a future time period Shall also has the sense of what one must be doing,or even must have done. A parent trying to get their rebellious child to go to bed may say, for emphasis "You SHALL go to bed right this instant!" or "You shall clean your room right now", It is clear the parent is speaking of the present moment, right now. "Shall" does not have to refer to a future event. If "shall" must always be understood as referring to something in the future, which does a grave injustice to the various ways in which the word may be, and is, actually used other than to indicate a future event, then it must mean "shall humble himself" "He that shall humble himself shall be exalted"(Mt23:12). is something that is future to when Jesus said those words, and no one had ever in the history of the world humbled themselves before. That would be a nonsensical interpretation since those who have already died are not going to be humbling themselves in the future, they either already have done so or haven't. And so "shall" is not strictly referring to a future event, but the act of humbling oneself in regards to all people who have ever existed, even many thousands of years ago. You are a very wise person

Death and Hades have been disarm. Lost authority over rights to mankind. Now Jesus has the keys of death and Hades. You are not speaking like Paul or Jonh or Peter, how about if you were together with them and lived that time? Jesus said let the dead bury the dead that's the meaning I give, they are spiritually the same as the fallen one. They much, they are one with him. Paul was teaching that dead has been abolish, before the open statement of Jesus " I have the keys of Death and Hades. Paul said that Jesus made a parade in heavenly places of the powers of the devil, like in Roman times, the victor will parade the enemies he defeated bount and in chains in front of the king and all the people. And when the meet the king they now down. The devil was defeated he Lost a lot what is it? Jesus is the one who has the keys of Hades he opens the door and he closes the door he is the one to judge, not the devil like before. That's what I say to people from eastern backgrounds, when they say , I understan the Gospel, but I don't , want to believe because I want to be with my ancestors. I say to them, your ancestors who they did not hear the Gospel, or it was not explained to them in a way to make them accountable , they are not lost, only Christ has the power to take them and in place in a heavenly realm so they can hear the Gospel out of the body and decide. Whether they believe or not. Now they are ready to appear before Jesus Christ now they know who he is, and have no complains if they had denied him. PS when Jesus said. If you don't believe he was taulking to people who have heard the Gospel. Definitely not to those who did not here. PS many people can not tell the difference, between the meaning of heavens and the Kingtom of God. And one more thing, stick with first disciples, don't use words the did not use sugesting things the can not explain. Suggesting that the Devil and his evil spirit they are two persons in one and add to that the Antichrist, to be three persons in one. The evil trinity, Speak like Paul , always like Paul and Jesus as he prayed in the Garden, and Stephan's vision. And David's visions.

.......and he wii bruise your head, I may say, you have read this in Genesis. Have the seed of the woman bruise the serpent's head, or not? How do make the examination? Sould we use a direct approach, as to what "bruise your head means"or examine the contex and the relevant issues? Let's us examine "death and life". Spiritual, not physical. Let's take two clean people. What kind of seed do they have and what kind fruit are they going to bring fourth? Does the people with the life, give birth to an offspring with death in it? If there is still spiritual captivity; does that mean Jesus has to go down in Hades to set the captives free. Is that possible? Does he have to go through that all over again, and again?

Heavens is the inheritance of Jesus and his children, Jesus Christ is our peace with the heavenly Father. The rule is that everyone shall here the Gospel and be judge according to his faith or denial of Gods Christ. That's in the bible, The question is, for those who did not here the Gospel, while in the body, are they going to here the Gospel out of the body?, and where?, and how?, and by whom?. Paul never suggested faith in God and a good consience , gives the life of Jesus Christ, to those who died without hearing the Gospel. And to hear the Gospel is not that all. Someone must correctly explain it, and give the opportunity to the hearer to think about it and understand and to be able to make a responsible decision. Whether to believe or to denied . And if denied faith in Christ, there is always the repentance of faith as long as they are still in the body.

Death, or spiritual separation from God is not anymore the default on mankind. No one is born with spiritual death in them. When someone denies faith in Jesus, the Christ of God, he is in spiritual death, but he can always repent and believe to be in spiritual life, or with the life of God. The spiritual captivity upon mankind has been abolish at the same time death was abolish.

They don't have death, and they don't have life. Defiantly they don't go to Hell.

This is a trouth story. I had a very provocative friend,who would ask people in the church, this question: Who can I go to hell? This is the list of the answers. Don't repent, don't read the bible, don't go to church, don't take communion, don't be Baptise, don't pay tithes, unconfess sins, divorce, don't love Jesus, and so on...,,,,, another one commit suicide and most of those churches proffers "saved by faith, without works" I said, why don't you ask me? He said, not you, they sat you are lost. That's right, I am lost to them, but not to Christ, he said you need a reference letter from them, Jesus will ask them if you were a good Christian and if they say NO, he will sent you to HELL. I said to him, because you are a believer, the only way for you to go to HELL is to denied your faith.

The OP was a personal testimony which every Christian can agree to. But to address your question let's break this down a little: 1. All humanity is on the road to Hell. 2. No sinner can save himself from either physical death or eternal Hell. 3. While God's righteousness and justice demand that sinners pay the full penalty for their sins, God grace offers every sinner salvation from Hell (and much more besides). 4. This salvation is only possible because of who Christ is and what He accomplished in His death, burial, and resurrection. 5. When Jesus went to the Cross voluntarily and willingly, that too was God's grace in action. 6. When a sinner turns to the Savior for salvation, God gives him the gift of eternal life purely because of His grace. 7. Thus we are all saved by grace and kept by the power of God. Let's examine 2nd Timothy chapter one and verse ten, What does it mean Jesus has "abolish death"? And Jesus statement " I have the keys of Hades and death" Something I did not have before, but now I do, I open (what does he open) and nobody can close(what is he taulking about) and I close and nobody can open. O' death where is thy sting. What is the sting of death? WHAT IS THE ORIGIN ? Now I am something I was not before. THE JUDGE OF ALL . Every body gives account to me? Why not before?

What simplejeff is saying is that except a man be born again, he cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God. That is definitely in Scripture (Jn 3:1-12). The person who is born again knows Christ experientially, and is also known of Him. The one who is a "Christian" in name only (no inner reality) will hear the awful words "I never knew you". Scripture says "The Lord knoweth them that are His" (2 Tim 2:19). Jonh the disciple of Jesus, has made clear and simple just like Jesus himself. If any one believes that Jesus is the son of God is born from above. Paul made even more melodramatic, the in Christ is not like the life the first Adam had, and even if someone is disobidient like the first Adam, the life remains in him, obedient or disobedient someone is still in Jesus Christ.
