I mean he is far past out understanding after all. And granted I am still learning but the depth of him that he continues to teach and reveal I wanted the truth the real truth the real deal and I refused to leave his feet until; he said yes and He was like finally, come on lets go. Jesus himself start with him, ask yourself why is he called the living word?
Baptism of the holy spirit born again and... born again again?

AMEN!!!!....
Also this song was on as I was writing that. This is basically what Father is saying to all of us. It is like I keep saying there is a spiritual wind on the horizon people will know why he is God and the prophecy I gave was why he sent me here.
Not that I am a prophet or anything I don't carry any title in any ministry I simply wait for him eagerly at the door and he sends me to work. It is true what they say if you love what you do you have never worked a day in your life.

I Love reading your posts..they are so up building and full of Love / Praise for the Lord....thank you for sharing.
It's only for the kingdom I made a promise to him that I was going after the kingdom and I was going to bring it here to this realm. If anyone doubts this one simple phrase And he said with faith anything is possible with God.I Love reading your posts..they are so up building and full of Love / Praise for the Lord....thank you for sharing.
I don't see this in this world do you? Where is this impossible? this commandingh mountains to fall how we would do greater things than him?
What is with all the confusion and division in the body with the scriptures? I thought there was only one truth. Is the fruits of the devil that hard to see? is not confusion divison and then conquor his favorite play?
And your telling me we actually know what we are talking about? Does nothing seem off to anyone here? Just somethings to think about.

Word games. The POPULAR TERM for the Acts 2:4 phenomenon is "Baptism in the Holy Spirit", which, since it's an EXTERNAL CLOTHING with the Holy Spirit (Jesus put it "Endued with power" - clothed with power), and since Baptism is also an external "whelming" the terminology is somewhat appropriate. BUT HEY!!! a rose by any other name - etc.
It's easier (if you care about people knowing what you're talking about) to use the popular terminology.

Yes, I know that what happened in Acts 2 was baptism in the Holy Spirit - that's what I call it as well. The point is that, now that all people groups have been added to the body of Christ, it happens when you are saved, not afterwards.
It's not only an endowment of power, but it is also a baptism into the body of Christ.

I'm sorry to hear that you reject what the Bible says about baptism in the Holy Spirit.
1 Cor. 12:12-14 (WEB)
12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit, is into the body of Christ. If you're not in the body of Christ, then you're not saved. It happens at salvation.
I apologize for the reply God has been very busy with me It started with him hinting something to me a vague feeling of something like I was going to be blessed finiancially and given a well stable life after all these horrible years of life beating me up and my health always on the rocksI Love reading your posts..they are so up building and full of Love / Praise for the Lord....thank you for sharing.
My first instaninct was to think about the propserity gospel you know those horrible abominations. But then I thought of something, doesn't the scriptures actually speak about him giving us all these things?
But then look at this horrible abaomination something didn't make sense.. But then vague feeling came back again of him blessing me and knowing me he knows that everything he blesses me me with I want to give to everyone else.
That is alo what I am doing here it wasn't even my intention to go on this crusade kind of thing I suppose I have just been on this journey wiith him and I have been growing because I have what is called a kingdom minded thing. I was dead serious when I gave my life to him I wasn't messing around when I said to him I love you I even went so far as to not just give my life to him but I made an oath on that day
I said to him I will go with you all the way no matter the trial the struggle the tests that may come if we are going to do this together I want the real thing. I even went so far and this sounds crazy but I said to him I will do all of this and make a covanent with you if I can have only one thing in return.
As insane as it sounds I said to him I want to know and have you and have a love and bond with you unlike anything anyone has ever had with you even anyone in all of scripture or even heaven itself at the end of all of this.
More than anyone else You are mine first I get first dibs. What happened on that day didn't just change me my friend I got a taste of the real thing he came right to me as I was laying in my bed in the dark talking with him making thia promise with him a covanent of the hearts I called it. And a small tiny drop just a single sprinkle of his love fell on me and my strength suddenly was gone but I was in his arms I was home.
His love was so warm so heavenly and soft so gentle and caring deeply moving and tender The beauty of his love is something that amazes you, how could such a love even exist? And for me? so much? so deeply? why? who am i to be loved like that? Oh but then there is of course how it is with you. It is as af you have known him somehow your heart somehow in that moment becomes an endearing child of how you want to snuggle him and bury your face in his arms even your body itself craves to embrace him badly you would give anything just to tackle him and hug him so strongly.
Believe me you will never want anything so badly in your life it is torture trust me LOL But then the father came and his love.... wow we are talking about some deep heavy stuff here my friend his love is not even in words I can't describe it for the life of me.
It is deep and thick so much so that the single sprinke I recieved was to much for my body to contain we weren't built to be able to contain this it isn't just abuntant it is deep waters my friend you get lost in it.
I mean what I say is not things I am just saying because I am some spiritual guru or fanatic. I mean like I said I was dead serious about this it wasn't just about faith or salvation for me I wanted to know the kingdom I wanted to know the real thing I wanted the truth and I found it.
He said it so simply guys he is the the way the truth and the life what was he talking about there really?
Is the truth just the gospel or is there more? what is this mystery of God that is spoken of? Isn't he the ultimate goal and reason for all of us? yesd we work for the kingdom we serve him and grow and learn we are supposed to be spreading the kingdom but at the end of the day don't forget this is all about him and this is all about us as well
We love him for a reason; I even had something happen in the shpower a bit ago that was amazing I learned so much but I already have ranted way to long I am so sorry everyone.

I don't. I reject your paradigmatic interpretation of what you THINK the Bible says about the subject.

Why did you omit, from your quote of my post, the scripture I quoted?
Here it is again, so that others can see what the Bible says about the subject, even if you don't want to.
1 Cor. 12:12-14 (WEB)
12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
This scripture has several layers that I would love to discuss further with people later but I first want to ask you about your take on why it is so important we are baptized in both water and spirit?
I don't bother much with the debates on water baptism it clearly says you have to be born of both water and spirit.
But just a thought do you think the water he spoke of being born again in wasn't talking about normal water but living water?
Whenever Jesus spoke of water I see him speak mainly of living water.

May I answer this question here..lol...if we aren’t birthed in the Spirit....then, we don’t belong to God, we are still in darkness and sin, alienated from God....therefore we must be Born Again to see the Kingdom of God....I’m not sure about the water baptism...I just know it doesn’t save us from eternal damnation.
I’m open for correction...and civilised ,respectful discussion, as I know you are also.
Living water speaks to me as well...as in the Living water of Jesus..which runs through my veins?
