7-14-2014-HOLY SPIRIT AT BAPTISM


ACTS 2: 38 = THEN PETER SAID TO THEM, REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. **(NOT THE GIFT OF LANGUAGES)


"REMARKS"

IT IS AMAZING ALL OF THE LIES AND DECEPTION FROM THE TRUTH YOU HEAR FROM TV EVANGELIST ESPECIALLY, OF WHICH IS THE SWAGGART MINISTRY WHERE I LISTEN, OR TRY TO INDULGE THE ANSWERS OF PEOPLES CRY FOR TRUTH ON A PANEL CALLED FRANCES AND FRIENDS. I AM PARTIAL TO CALL IN QUESTIONS AND THE RESPONSE TO THEM FROM WHOMEVER.

TODAY FOR EXAMPLE I HEARD THIS SCRIPTURE FROM EZEKIEL, WHICH FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, EVANGELIST JIMMY SWAGGART WAS FOUND TO HAVE COMMITTED SEXUAL SIN WITH A WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS WIFE YEARS AGO.

THE REASON I BRING THIS UP IS FOR THE SIMPLE PURPOSE OF EXPOSING THESE SELF RIGHTEOUS AND SELF EXALTING MINISTRIES TO NOT BE TRUTHFUL AND FOR THEM NOT LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AT THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF OTHERS SINS AND SHORTCOMINGS. THEIR DOMINANT DOCTRINE IS THE CROSS AND I HEAR AND SEE A LOT OF SENSUALITY IN SOME OF THEIR MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS, WITH EXTRA MUSIC THAT ADDS AN AIR OF SENSUALITY AND BOURBON STREET MUSICICAL STRAINS.

THE SCRIPTURE I WAS CONTENDING WITH THEM ON WAS THIS ONE WHICH INVOLVES JIMMY SWAGGART HIMSELF IN THE PAST.


EZEKIEL 3: 20 = WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOES TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND COMMIT INIQUITY AND I LAY A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE HIM, HE SHALL DIE; BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HAS DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND.


THIS SCRIPTURE FELL RIGHT INTO THE SWAGGART'S MINISTRY CONVICTION BUT WOULD THEY PUT JIMMY SWAGGART SIN IN TO THAT SCRIPTURE? NO THEY DIDN'T BRING IT UP AND MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T BUT WHEN THEY STRAIN A GNAT AND CHOKE ANOTHER PERSONS SIN, THEY SHOULD INCLUDE HIS DOWNFALL WITH IT AS AN EXAMPLE OF NOT WHAT TO DO.

WE ALL HAVE MESSED UP AND SINNED BEFORE WE WERE SAVED BUT NOT AFTERWARD WILLFULLY, MAYBE BY MISTAKE AND WE CONFESSED IT AND ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS.  IF THAT BE TRUE THEN EVEN ALL OF US WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF GOD, YAH'WEH, IF WE DIDN'T CONFESS AND REPENT.


HEBREWS 10: 26-27 =

(26) FOR IF WE SIN WILLFULLY AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS,

(27) BUT A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING FOR OF JUDGMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE ADVERSARY.


I BRING THIS SCRIPTURE IN BECAUSE IF ANY OF US THINK THEY ARE SAFE BECAUSE OF THEIR WORKS, THEY ARE BADLY MISTAKEN. WORKS DEFINE YOUR REWARDS, NOT YOUR SALVATION.

THIS I BROUGHT UP ONLY BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY ISSUES THEY DENY THAT THAT WAS ONE BUT THE OTHER UNREALISTIC DOCTRINE IS IF YOU DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES, YOU AREN'T SAVED AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT IN YOU.

THIS IS A LIE!

THE TRUTH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO ACCEPT JESUS, YAH'SHUA, AS THEIR SAVIOR AND CONFESS AND REPENT AND ARE BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE. THE SCRIPTURE DECLARES THIS IN ACTS 2: 38.

THAT SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY YOU RECEIVE THE GIFT OF TONGUES BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY. HERE IS ANOTHER WAY OF PUTTING IT.

IF WE LET GOD, YAH'WEH, DO HIS WILL IN OUR LIVES, AS WE YIELD TO HIS HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH HE GIVES TO THOSE REPENTANT CHRISTIANS UPON BAPTISM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO WAGE WAR AGAINST THE SIN IN OUR LIVES AND EXPERIENCE A FORETASTE OF THE COMING KINGDOM OF GOD.

I DON'T LIKE BRINGING UP NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF A PROFESSING CHRISTIANS LIFE BUT WHEN IT IS SOMEBODY WHO REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE SOMETHING SO DESTRUCTIVE TO HIS FAMILY AND THE CHURCH OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA, IT RIPPLES WITH LIES AND DECEITS AND HYPOCRITICAL ATTRIBUTES.

RESTORATION IS SOMETHING THAT IS RESOLUTE FOR US TO DO AND TREAT HIM AS A BROTHER BUT DON'T PUT SO MUCH GUILT ON HIM OR HER, THAT THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE SUICIDE BECAUSE OF THE GUILT AND PRESSURE TO MEASURE UP TO GODS, YAH'WEHS, STANDARDS.

TRUTH MUST SUPERCEDE  ANY PRIDEFUL ACTIONS OF ANY MINISTRY AND IF IT IS TRUE, THEN IT MUST BE DEALT WITH IN A GODLY FASHION.

FINALLY, BECAUSE THIS ARTICLE WAS INVOLVED IN 2 SUBJECTS, I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN THAT THE MAIN ISSUE I WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO REALIZE IS THAT THE SPEAKING IN TOUNGES IS A GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR BEING BORN AGAIN . DON'T LET THE LIES AND DECEITS OF MANY MINISTRIES DESTROY YOUR FAITH IN JESUS, YAH'SHUA.
