MAN CAN RESPOND TO THIS REVELATION SEVERAL WAYS
WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD
WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH BUT WE ARE REWARDED ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS
WHEN CHRIST COMES TO LIVE IN OUR HEARTS, WE ARE BORN AGAIN AND MADE RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S SIGHT
WHEN WE BECOME A CHRISTIAN, WE ARE REDEEMED FROM THE DEVIL
CHRIST'S ONCE AND FOR ALL SACRIFICE PAYS FOR ALL OUR WRONG DOINGS (SINS)
CHRIST'S DEATH REPLACES THE NEED FOR REPEATED ANIMAL SACRIFICES WHICH CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY SIN
WE CAN ONLY BECOME A CHRISTIAN IF WE LOVE GOD AND DECIDE NOT TO SIN ANY MORE
WE MUST REPENT OF OUR OLD WAYS
AFTER OUR CONVERSION, GOD BEGINS TO WORK ON OUR CHARACTER, HE TRANSFORMS US BIT BY BIT WHEN WE TURN TO HIM - THIS IS CALLED SANCTIFICATION
HE GIVES US THE STRENGTH NOT TO SIN
SOMETIMES AS CHRISTIANS, WE FAIL BECAUSE OF WEAKNESSES IN OUR PERSONALITY / CHARACTER THAT HAVE YET TO BE TRANSFORMED
BUT JESUS CAN WASH US CLEAN
WE CAN KNOW WHERE WE STAND WITH GOD
WE RECEIVE THE SPIRIT WHEN WE TRULY BELIEVE IN CHRIST AND WANT TO MAKE HIM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR
RECEIVING THE SPIRIT IS THE SAME AS BAPTISM WITH THE SPIRIT
WE ARE BAPTIZED ONCE BUT WE ARE FILLED MANY TIMES
PRAISING GOD IS A SIGN OF SPIRIT BAPTISM
FRUIT AND GIFTS & SIGNS ALSO RESULT FROM SPIRIT INFILLING
NOT EVERYBODY WHO IS BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL SPEAK IN TONGUES
IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED WITH THE SPIRIT
BORN AGAIN EQUALS BORN OF THE SPIRIT + BORN OF WATER
BAPTISM WITH THE SPIRIT MAKES US PART OF THE BODY
BAPTISM WITH THE SPIRIT BRINGS US INTO THE KINGDOM
BAPTISM WITH THE SPIRIT IS NOW CLOSELY LINKED WITH SALVATION
BAPTISM IS THE SYMBOL OF THE NEW COVENANT
CIRCUMCISION IS THE SYMBOL OF THE OLD COVENANT
CIRCUMCISION BY THE SPIRIT IS ANALOGOUS TO BAPTISM BY THE SPIRIT
THE JEWS BECAME UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT KEEP THE LAW
BAPTISM, LIKE CIRCUMCISION, HAS AN INWARD AND AN OUTWARD ASPECT
(FOR THE JEWS WHO ARE TRULY CIRCUMCISED IN SPIRIT, BAPTISM IS A POST CONVERSION EVENT)
BAPTISM IN WATER IS THE OUTWARD SIGN WHICH SYMBOLIZES CONVERSION
CIRCUMCISION BY THE SPIRIT AND BAPTISM BY THE SPIRIT BOTH RESULT IN REGENERATION
THE JEWISH DISCIPLES NEED TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS - JOHN'S BAPTISM WAS INSUFFICIENT
GENTILE BELIEVERS DO NOT NEED TO BE CIRCUMCISED IN THE FLESH
JEWS AND GENTILES SHOULD BE BAPTIZED BY EMERSION WHEN THEY BELIEVE
CHILDREN OF BELIEVERS ARE COVERED BY THEIR BELIEVING PARENTS
IF BAPTIZED AS INFANTS - THEY MUST CONTINUE IN THE FAITH AS ADULTS OR THEY WILL NOT BE SAVED
WE BECOME A CHILD OF ABRAHAM AND ARE CIRCUMCISED IN HEART BY CHRIST WHEN WE BECOME A CHRISTIAN
JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
IDOLATRY MEANS TO LOVE SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY MORE THAN GOD- THIS IS SPIRITUAL PROSTITUTION
THE SPIRIT SPEAKS TO US DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR OUR OWN SPIRIT (CONSCIENCE)
ANGELS ARE MINISTERING SPIRITS THAT BRING WORDS OF LIFE
DEMONS ARE DECEIVING SPIRITS THAT TRY TO ENSLAVE US WITH THEIR LIES
GOD GIVES OUR LIVES MEANING AND PURPOSE
SHOULD WE CALL GOD BY HIS OLD TESTAMENT NAME - JEHOVAH?
MAN HAS THREE PARTS : BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT
THE HEART IS THE DWELLING PLACE OF THE SPIRIT
MAN IS A TRINITY TOO. HE WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
THERE IS ONE BODY OF CHRIST (THE CHURCH) WHICH HAS MANY PARTS
WE MUST STAND FIRM UNTIL THE END
THERE WILL BE A TIME OF GREAT SUFFERING CALLED THE GREAT TRIBULATION PRIOR TO CHRIST'S RETURN
DURING THIS TIME THE BELIEVERS WILL BE REWARDED FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE BODY
SOME WILL REIGN OVER ONE CITY / OTHERS WILL REIGN OVER FIVE CITIES
(HERE, THE NATIONS ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE GOSPEL)
THE DEAD OUTSIDE OF CHRIST WILL NOT BE RAISED FOR JUDGMENT UNTIL AFTER THE MILLENNIUM
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DESCENDENTS OF ISHMAEL? WILL THEY GET A DIFFERENT INHERITANCE?
WE ARE IN THE END TIMES NOW
ARE YOU READY TO STAND BEFORE CHRIST?
