The Holy Spirit In Us: What Does That Really Mean?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Dave Cogburn

As Christians we know and take for granted that, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become born again and the Holy Spirit comes to reside in us. But how many of us truly understand that it’s the most incredible thing God has ever done, and He’s done it to us. Before explaining, let’s look at the way it started.

God, being a Trinity God, IS a “Relationship” unto Himself. He does not need anyone or anything. However, since He Himself IS a Relationship, relationship is what brings Him His greatest pleasure. So what did He do? He Himself created each angel in heaven to have a relationship with Him and with each other in order to enjoy “relationships.”

Angels were created in heaven and created without sin; they received the BEST that God had to offer them in heaven. He loved them, and they loved Him back until Lucifer and one-third of the angels rebelled and sinned by rejecting what God offered; thus the first sin occurred. God then needed to create a place for them where He Himself does not dwell – in hell.

In eternity God is Light and Life; everything is good and pleasurable. Separated from God in hell means God is not there. Without God you get the opposite of Light, Life, good and pleasure.  You get darkness and death – a separation from God, death and not annihilation – and everything is bad and is torment.

One-third of God’s angels who were saved in heaven became lost in heaven due to using their free will to reject God and what He had to offer. Obviously, God was very disappointed that this occurred, even though He knew it would since He knows all things.

At this time there is no physical universe and no “time” which a physical universe creates. God is in eternal heaven with two-thirds of His angels enjoying their relationship with Him. But then something very different occurs. God creates a physical universe that has “time” in it. Why did He do that? Eternal God does not need “time.” Time is temporary; it has a beginning and an end.

It appears from what has occurred that God may have thought, ‘Since I have created sinless angels to live in my presence and one-third of them rejected Me and the best I have to offer in heaven, I will do something different.’ He decides He is going to create a totally different type of sentient being, a being called mankind that He will create in His image. BUT He already knows they will fall when Adam disobeys Him and that ALL of humanity, from that point forward, will be directly created by sinful man through procreation.

This will mean that every human being will be born with a sin nature. God will be separated from them and invisible to them, and they will have to live their lives receiving the best THEY have to offer in a sinful universe vs. what God has to offer in eternal heaven. It is easy to look now and say why in the world would God do such a thing? He obviously knew what would happen, and yet He did it anyway.

All of us human beings who have a human father are born lost and destined for hell. It just doesn’t make sense, it seems. BUT one thing we know for sure—God is our Creator—and everything He creates He creates for His pleasure. Even though we are lost and destined for hell, God does NOT want that. He wants every one of us to come to know Him and to enter into a personal relationship with Him in order to go from being lost forever to being saved forever.

As we know, God sent His Son, Jesus, to Earth to die a horrible death on a cross in order to pay the ultimate price for our sins. He did not do this so that everyone gets a get-out-of-hell-free card. He did it so that NOW, through Jesus, we can put our faith and trust in His sacrifice on the cross to take away all of our sins. He did this for us so that, when we enter eternity, we enter with no sin and spend eternity with God in heaven.

What truly happens when we put our faith and trust in Jesus for our salvation? What happens is WHY God created us in the first place. God the Holy Spirit comes to indwell INSIDE of us, and we become “connected” to God.

Jesus said, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (John 14:20).

We become a “part of God.” This is HUGE. This is far, far greater than the relationship the angels have with God. They are not “connected” to God through the Holy Spirit.

A good example I used in an earlier article is this: Think of God as Windows and the angels as Mac. Mac is not part of Windows. It is separate from Windows but serves Windows. We Christians are a Windows “upgrade” and are a “part” of Windows. Does that compute? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

So why did God do it this way? Why did He connect Himself to us? For one simple reason – we all have a sinful nature, and that does not go away once we accept Christ. However, God wants us NOW to have a new “Godly” nature to replace our old sinful nature. When the Holy Spirit enters us, we receive God’s new nature in us to battle against our old sinful nature.

Who is it that knows the things of God?  Only God Himself. And when God enters us through the Holy Spirit, He changes us. We become a new creature. We start understanding God’s direction and guidance, and even the Bible itself in a way we never did before. Why is that?  It is because God Himself is revealing the truths in the Bible for us to know and live our lives by.

I did not come to know the Lord until I was 34 years old. I had only been to church a very few times growing up and did not even know the Bible had prophecy in it at that time. I came to know the Lord after reading Hal Lindsey’s book, The Late Great PlanetEarth. And when I saw that approximately one-third of the Bible is prophecy—the future written in advance—I “instantly” understood the Bible; I knew that Jesus Christ and heaven and hell were TRUE. I did not want to go to hell, and invited the Lord into my life; it’s been a growing experience ever since.

A good example of how the Holy Spirit works is this: When I was in college I took a New Testament course because I heard it was an easy “A.” I needed an “A” at that time and took the course, read the New Testament, and made my “A.” But it meant nothing to me. Why? Because I did not have the Holy Spirit in me showing me the truths of God’s word. Once I started reading the Bible after being saved, the words almost jumped off the page in terms of me understanding them and seeing them in a way I never could have before.

This is why so many liberal theologians can study the Bible for 50 years and not believe in the virgin birth or the miracles in the Bible, because they don’t have the Holy Spirit to teach them and guide them. This is also why the Bible says that “the things of God are foolishness to the world.” Why is that? Because the world does not have God’s Holy Spirit to reveal their foolishness to them.

The good news is that God gives us His nature in order that we can enter into a personal relationship with Him now and forever, and to have Him guide and direct us in our journey here on Earth and to strengthen us to be able to please Him, serve Him, and have our new Godly nature overpower our old sin nature. It is also the reason God created a universe with TIME in it.

The main purpose of “time” is for each lost human being to have “time” to come to know God and enter into a relationship with Him.

Where we spend eternity is determined by where we are when we enter eternity, which is either in heaven when we enter with no sins through Christ, or in hell when we enter eternity with sins and without Christ. The fallen angels who fell from eternity stay lost in eternity and end up in hell. Being created in eternity, they do not have the benefit of time as we do.

Now is it becoming clearer why God created us?

It obviously is far easier for angels who are created saved in heaven and receiving God’s best –much easier for them to have a personal relationship with God than human beings. God and the angels enjoy their relationship. But it is a much bigger “deal” to God, if you will, when lost human beings who live in a sinful universe come to know Him through their faith and trust in Christ.

It is such a big deal that the Bible says the angels “rejoice” when anyone comes to know the Lord.

There is a lot of symmetry in the Bible. For example: When Moses came down the mountain and presented the LAW to the people, the Bible says 3,000 people died that day. And on the day of Pentecost when God presented GRACE and the Holy Spirit to the people, 3,000 were saved that day. As Paul says, the law kills and grace saves. Symmetry is in that example.

We know that one-third of the angels who were created saved ended up LOST, and so could it be that only one-third of mankind who are created lost will end up SAVED?

We do know that Jesus said the road to perdition is wide, and many go there. The road to salvation is narrow, and few go there. That seems to give some weight to the possibility of the one-third of angels lost compared to one-third of mankind saved; but only God knows for sure.

The absolute BEST PART of all of this is IN eternity. I used to be concerned about the possibility of me “goofing up” somehow in eternity and maybe committing some kind of sin like the angels did with their free will. We will still have free will; however, unlike the angels, it will be impossible for us to ever sin and fall, for one simple reason – we are a “part of God – connected to God.” As God would never sin, we will never sin. We will love like God loves.

I think our relationship with God and Jesus in eternity will be different from the angels’ relationship with God because of our connection to Him.

I used to wonder, with all of the billions of angels and saints in heaven in eternity, how in the world will we ever get to be with Jesus one on one? Do we have to make an appointment and wait our turn?

It just might be that because we are a part of God now, that – just as the Holy Spirit is everywhere and is invisible – maybe in eternity, if we want to be with Jesus, we just call on Him and He instantly appears to us. He could do the same with billions of saints at the same time through the Holy Spirit becoming visible as Jesus Himself.

Time will tell – OOPS, eternity will tell.

In the future when we look at God, it appears that (since we are a part of God) we will no longer say God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit but will say God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit and all His saints. THIS is what I was referring to when I said at the beginning that God has done the most incredible thing He has ever done, and He did it to us.

Because of everything we’ve gone through with our sinful nature, residing for our whole life in a sinful universe with an invisible God, God wants to reward us with becoming a part of Him.  This helps explain how the joy God receives from the few of us that come to know Him now and forever is far greater than the sadness He must feel for the many that do not come to know Him now and forever.

How exciting! How amazing! How incredible!

The Bible does not go into a lot of detail concerning what all this means inside eternity, but has told us enough to get us excited about being God’s child now and forever. Hopefully, this encourages us to live each day in a way that pleases Him and serves Him until Jesus comes to bring us Home.

Maranatha, Lord Jesus.

        Are you aware Paul states clearly we are able to understand the spiritual by the physical world?

        Just as it is the “seed” of a man that impregnates, it is same with our Father.

        The Father’s Holy Spirit is that “Seed”, that spiritual “DNA”, that is “impregnated” into a potential Son of God and that Spirit of the Father comes into that repentant person — only — by the laying on of Hands — after water baptism.

        1 Timothy 1: 6, 7

        6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, — which – is – in — thee—- by the putting on of my hands.

        7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.i.e. logical and balanced mind.

        Paul laid his hands on Timothy and Timothy received the Holy Spirit of the Father.

        At the first resurrection the sons of God will be born again – “quickened” to immortal spirit life — by that very same Holy – ONE – Spirit — as — was Jesus Christ. We shall all be of that ONE SPIRIT, that same Holy Seed.

        1 Peter 1

        23 Being born again #313 (impregnated) , not of corruptible “seed” #4701 (sperm), but of incorruptible (seed/sperm), by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

        #313. anagennaó: Short Definition: I beget again, beget into a new life
        #4701. spora: Short Definition: seed

        When God the Father “impregnates” a person with His Holy Spirit, (His Spirit ‘DNA’, His Holy Seed, His Very ‘Spirit Essence”, His very Divinity) that Spirit of the Father empowers and gives that physical man spiritual understand beyond the physical level. This now ‘new man’ can then begin to grasp the “Things of God”; God’s Righteous LAW for example.

        this is why He is our actual Father, HE impregnates those He calls with HIS Holy Seed.

        The false doctrine of a trinity is satanic.

        Jan if you did not receive the Spirit by the laying on of Hands — the spirit in you is not of God.

      • b4

        yeah,keep talking your worthless bullshit–it is exactly what i am talking about you devil worshiper–but dont worry,god does not care and is not listening to any of your nonsense–your nonsense is only for others like you,who will never grow up or “see the light” ,dumbass children…

        • Truthseeker

          b-4-what?

          folks like you are one reason why God is about to destroy America, England, Canada, Australia and other Hebrew nations.

          I am sick to death of living among evil morons like you that lie, steal, rape, murder and otherwise just make life miserable for everyone.

          You have zero intelligence and run your mouth to prove it.

          If you have nothing intelligent to offer, which is clearly evident, why do you bother others?

          Please do not bother to reply — I am done with you.

          • b4

            ha! you are done with me eh fool–your offended,i get it you immature little child—you know not a thing about me–you know not that i am one with god,jesus because you are the exact opposite of me you stupid jackass–it gives me comfort knowing you hate me devil worshiper–knowing you hate everything i say you agent of satan–hate hate hate is what you are all about–judge me you asshole–i know who you are,what you are,small minded agent of satan—your only offended and the hate rages in you(satans power) because i am talking about fools exactly like you–so go fuk yor self lieseeker, you maggot from hell…

            • b4

              and if god is going to destroy anything(he is not) it will be to flush fools like you down the sewer to hang out with the rest of the rats—-jackass

      Godly voice hearing is a fraud!!! Please be aware, you will hear a voice who claimed to be the God, however, this is not the voice of a True God. There’s a hidden satellite grid that is capable of stimulating human brains/ auditory cortex and make them to perceive hearing. This alleged voice who claimed to be the God told Mark Taylor that Trump will be the next president, therefore, this is not a mental illness either, it’s a technological fraud.

      This hearing is real, however, the voice who claimed to be the God is like an urban legion. He is acting in the most illiterate way, just like an uneducated person. Human issues are so complex, think of the way that this alleged voice who claimed to be the God is trying to address human issues? But this voice never forget to impress us with his abnormal knowledge such as who will be the next president. Can we invite this God to have a legitimate conversation with him? End times is another fraud. Today this technology is operating from Switzerland and they are working on a third world war and also trying to bring massive damage to human lives and properties. You would see this within next 10 years time, cause if not people will understand their deception. You may read below artiles to understand this crime further.

      2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE of the truth,… 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

      #1 “ANOTHER JESUS”:
      -“ONE” not triune: Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT….. (NOTE: And yes, the specific Greek and Hebrew words used also and only define one person contrary to the ridiculous obfuscation attempts of some!?!)
      PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (text book examples of prov 26:12)

      -PART 5 Ecjad Ecad ,y God God is Echad!….:The Greek word pros in Jn 1:1 does not inherently demand multiple different persons because:

      1. The definitions (without forced conclusions stuffed in) are just as equally valid as reference to parts of the same person (modalisim) Your head and your right arm have close relationship to each other; can be facing, towards, relating to, moving to, in the direction of, to, unto, looking to; even at home with, a living union, in the presence of, a common ground, closeness They are still both distinct and different from each other and yet they are of both the same person. Ironically the scriptures use the very same terms to describe father and son.

      2. Ironically and most hypocritically, the trinitarians are trying to appeal to the anthropomorphisms (they claim this passage implies) to demonstrate different persons while at the same time denying the very anthropomorphisms that God himself specifically in scriptures uses to define the son and the son’s relationship to the father. Apparently only the literal anthropomorphisms that trintiarins “see’ exist while the one’s that God himself uses should not be taken too literal or too anthropomorphic or seriously. Is the face anthropomorphic and or literal face or just some metaphor? Either way the problem for trinitarians still exist and simply does not cease with linguistic distractions. There are many different types of faces; face of a clock; face of a mirror; face of one’s palm. Further, the face of one’s palm would be totally consistent with the anthropomorphism that God uses when discussing his own right arm as the son! So either way, a literal and or anthropomorphic face or a metaphorical face in close relationship only leaves the trinitarinas peddling an empty argument hoping no one notices the fact that this argument is nothing more then delusional smoke and mirrors for “the faithful” and for everyone else, well, just “never mind that man behind the curtain”.

      3. You cant appeal to your own desired and or preconceived conclusions as evidence that your methodology in arriving at your conclusions are valid. [ie the use of Jn 1:18 et al as proof that Jn1:1 supports different persons in Jn1:18 et al or visa versa ] How difficult can they make these simple things? The God in heaven is a he but cannot be known except by the he who is the same God in flesh! So why can’t they be the same he again? It should not be difficult to understand since:

      A. The same God who is in heaven is on earth and the difference need only be of circumstance which at least we know that much to be factually true [spirit only v spirit in human flesh] There is no further need or demand for different individual persons since all the different he’s are in fact the same HE!. Trying to claim that God is multiple different “He(s)” who make up the one being either leaves your God to be a “it” that consist of different he(s) or a“God being” who is a he while simultaneously consisting of different individual he(s) [Father-he; Son=he; Holy Spirit=he].

      B. If you find no difficulty in accepting that God is a he that consist of father son and holy spirit also referred to each as a different he and yet all the same he then what is the point to claiming different persons again? How is the multitude of hes who are all the same he show or demand different persons rather than different circumstances of the same person who is in fact “HE”?

      In any case, the trinitarian inconsistency and or incoherence will never be resolved by simply chalking it all up to “how great thou art” unless you willingly and blindly “drink the cool aid” calling it “faith”. True faith is in the words of God (including the specific anthropomorphism God himself uses) not in wild created imaginations of three different persons with different minds, locations and instructions for each other that is somehow not a pantheon of three gods who are “one”!….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh! Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4

      -JOHN 14: 8-20 ….[Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father] ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
      Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”

      -The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural) Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense

      -Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5; TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…

      -This should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……Today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into the image of your vain imaginations!

      #2 “ANOTHER GOSPEL”:
      -If you ask most people what the Good news or Gospel is they will probably tell you about the virgin birth or Christ death burial and resurrection. This would be rather humorous if it was not so sad considering that for the three and half years of Christ ministry he does not mention hardly ever. However, Christ does spend a lot of time preaching out of the OT scriptures. Now imagine given a report or manual to read and understand, that makes reference to and even quotes other source material and then ignoring that source material when it comes to defining the context and meanings of words in the report or manual you are trying to make sense of. If that seems dysfunctional that is because it is. This is, however, what most people are doing when it comes to understanding sound NT doctrine and or even what the Gospel message of Jesus was. The mystery of the gospel was not the death, burial and resurrection although it is part of it. In fact, death, burial and resurrection was the sign, the only sign, that Jesus gave to validate that the gospel message he was preaching all that time was true……and yet most deny it!?!?!

      -The “2nd coming”… “I come quickly” so “Hold fast till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 years I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 (in their lifetime) are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the Lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES. The “idea”/ doctrine that Jesus has not yet returned but “soon any day now soon” does not just make God out a liar; it is not just ridiculous but makes Christianity a mockery, A pathetic “ship of fools”!?!
      -The following example excerpt from Bertrand Russell: sometimes quoted by atheist et al and from his published work “Why I Am Not A Christian”
      Defects in Christ’s Teaching
      Having granted the excellence of these maxims, I come to certain points in which I do not believe that one can grant either the superlative wisdom or the superlative goodness of Christ as depicted in the Gospels; …. I am concerned with Christ as He appears in the Gospels, taking the Gospel narrative as it stands, and there one does find some things that do not seem to be very wise. For one thing, he certainly thought that His second coming would occur in clouds of glory before the death of all the people who were living at that time. There are a great many texts that prove that. He says, for instance, “Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of Man be come.” Then he says, “There are some standing here which shall not taste death till the Son of Man comes into His kingdom”; and there are a lot of places where it is quite clear that He believed that His second coming would happen during the lifetime of many then living. That was the belief of His earlier followers, and it was the basis of a good deal of His moral teaching. When He said, “Take no thought for the morrow,” and things of that sort, it was very largely because He thought that the second coming was going to be very soon, and that all ordinary mundane affairs did not count. I have, as a matter of fact, known some Christians who did believe that the second coming was imminent. I knew a parson who frightened his congregation terribly by telling them that the second coming was very imminent indeed, but they were much consoled when they found that he was planting trees in his garden. The early Christians did really believe it, and they did abstain from such things as planting trees in their gardens, because they did accept from Christ the belief that the second coming was imminent. In that respect, clearly He was not so wise as some other people have been, and He was certainly not superlatively wise.

      #3 GOD LOVES EVERYONE; Jesus Died for “you”…… Just “come as you are”
      Does God love you?….”Probably” NOT!….and NO Jesus did not die for everyone!?!……There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups : A. The predestined damned B. the “many” called C. The “Few” Chosen
      Predestination….its true..its all true… God does NOT love everyone:
      Prov 8: 17. I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME …………
      1John 5:3. For THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, that we keep his commandments:
      (1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
      (2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
      (3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
      will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”
      PS: “The world” that God so loved was not the Roman world nor the world of the Maya nor the world you imagined in your head that God specifically told them NOT TO LOVE!?!

      THE THIEF-BAPTISM-GRACE& THE NAME-LORD & LT

      “whosoever shall call on THE NAME OF THE LORD shall be saved”
      ………So WHAT “NAME” did you “CALL UPON”?……
      Rev 19:13. .. and HIS NAME IS called THE WORD OF GOD
      Ps 138:2. praise THY NAME … for thou hast magnified THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME -
      NOTE: God placed His “THE WORD” ABOVE all of God’s various NAMEs – and Jesus NAME IS called “THE WORD” no other name saves. The MOST important name we should KNOW and CALL UPON is “THE WORD”; Not letters that spell “word” but the sayings/ doctrine/commands. It does NOT say “thy word is given a name above other names because here THY WORD is identified as the name that is placed above all other names.
      Isaiah 52:1. . 6. Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: ..What NAME do you “KNOW”.?
      1Jn 2:3. And HEREBY WE DO KNOW that we KNOW HIM, if we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS./ Titus 1: 16. They profess that THEY KNOW God; but IN WORKS THEY DENY him…
      “AT the name OF JESUS”…..Jesus has a name that belongs to Jesus…just like the name OF GOD means a name that belongs to GOD but it is ridiculous to suggest that the letters G-O-D is that name…likewise the name OF JESUS is NOT the letters J-E-S-U-S. Why would anyone think that you could pronounce THE HIGHEST NAME OF GOD letter by letter…. (ie Judges 13:18; 2Cor 12:4 but God’s name is not as great and or “unspeakable )
      Rev 3:8 kept MY WORD, and hast not DENIED MY NAME; …
      .Jn 17:6. I have MANIFESTED THY NAME And they have KEPT THY WORD.;
      THE WORD is THE NAME above every name that saves us 1Pt 3:21 The ONE baptism(Eph 4:5) is into THE WORD ( which is also baptism in the Holy spirit Jn 6:63the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit ) ..ALL the sayings doctrines and commands….what did THE WORD that became flesh command? (Mat 28:19)…..what did THE WORD exemplify? (Mat 3:15/ Jn 4:1)………among other things…..YES .water baptism is just as essential and necessary for much a part of salvation (1Pt 3:21) as is keeping one self away from works of the flesh (Gal 5:21)….In fact obedience to the command of water baptism is specifically identified as the act of calling on the name of the Lord (Col 2:12 “……though the operation[work] of God” CAN ANY MAN BE SAVED WITHOUT GOD WORKING ON HIM?) …..THE WORD OF GOD is the name of God that men call upon OR…OR ..they DENY with their disobedience
      The scriptures tell us almost nothing about the thief’s life. However, the scriptures tell us a great deal about Christ life……Jesus had been around for 3.5 years before the cross and was Baptizing (Jn 4:1-2 in fact He instructed his disciples to do so and did many more then John the Baptist ever did) …..Those who try to appeal to the thief on the cross assume the thief had never heard of Jesus preaching and had never ever been baptized….The burden of Proof is on those who say baptism is not essential! ………..You can’t claim a logically valid “non-essentiality” doctrinal argument on ANYTHING based on what the scriptures do not say and in spite of the things it clearly does state to the opposite effect!…That is like looking at the constitutional law and then basing a argument against a constitutional principle in law based on the fact that history did not record for us what some unknown cattle thief did or did not do a 150 years ago?!?! What??..Who cares?? We know what the constitution did say 150 years ago. I don’t know of any Law school that bases its teaching on constitutional law based on what history does not tell us about unknown cattle thieves!?! ..Jesus command, preached & practiced Baptism so did the apostles ….To build one’s theology on the fact that the scriptures do not tell us ANY detail(s) of the thief’s life before the cross (we know almost absolutely nothing about the thief!!) it is quite foolish and willfully ignorant of what the scriptures do say about baptism…….so those who try to use the thief are in effect building their house on the sand of what scriptures do not say about a thief in spite of what the scriptures do specifically tell us about baptism!?!… “Their damnation is just” comes to mind…
