You Believe? Have You Received?

It is not enough to merely confess belief in the message of Jesus. Demonic forces of darkness know the truth and believe it too. “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” James 2:19 The demons believe in the oneness of God too. However, they have not entered into the experience of salvation. You must be born again. It is not two different experiences to be born again and to be baptized in the Spirit of God. It is the same experience and it comes “after that ye believed”. Ephesians 1:13. So you believe in the message of God’s grace that if you confess with your lips the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead.

“Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38

Start with faith in the Lord Jesus and then obey this scripture; repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then God will do the rest, it is a promise, believe it.

You might say you have believed the message for 20 years or since you were a child and you were baptized when you were a kid, but yet you know you don’t have the Holy Ghost. Go be baptized again understanding what you are doing. You are entering in the water in the name above all names for the remission of your sins by the blood and it is a promise that you will receive the Holy Ghost. It is an experience between you and God. Each time in the book of Acts those who were there and received the Holy Ghost knew that they received it. It is not just an emotion for those fail, it is something that anchors deep in your heart. It came with tongues, prophesying and also in other ways. “(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given…” Acts 8:16-18 Here they received the Holy Spirit without any description of tongues or prophecy, but those standing by witnessed it. They could visibly see or hear that they received the Holy Ghost. Paul received it and he received his sight back, it says nothing of tongues. It’s an experience between you and God. He will give you the assurance.

When I received the Holy Ghost I heard a sound of a wind in my room. Each of us will have our own experience with God and it is sovereign. God will do it as he wills, but when you go to baptism, expect to receive the Spirit because its a promise to you.

The Godhead – Part 2 – One God, the Father

Mar 12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

This is part 2 of the controversial subject. Here we discuss 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3 and the historical development of the Trinity. The Bible is the FINAL AUTHORITY not man’s opinion or even the declarations of the church. One man, Martin Luther, took on the established church because his heart was convicted by the simple truth of scripture. I trust that though I am not one man who stands for this truth that you all will be convicted by it and decide to do your own search for the truth of the Godhead.

The Godhead – Part 1

The oneness of God is a highly controversial subject. Trinitarians will do their best to plant fear in anyone who seeks to understand God based upon a biblical framework rather than non-biblical terminology being thrust upon the Bible. My hope is that at least you’ll take a look at this, go back to the bible and search out what it says and that you will come to your own conclusion based upon the leadership of the Holy Spirit instead of running from this based upon some fear that man would place in your heart.
