2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Jesus did experienced that...

Romans 6:4-5 can always be applied to the baptism with the Holy Ghost at our born again of the Spirit moment for when we believe in Jesus Christ at the calling of the gospel. Since Paul deferred from water baptism as not necessary for obtaining salvation, per 1 Corinthians 1:14-18,21 1...

Just saying it so without scripture citing that honor or kind of worship, does not make it so. The premise to honor, obey, and worship the Holy Spirit with the Father & the Son & to even worship the blessed "Trinity" is not found anywhere in scriptures. You do not see it in John 5:22-23 and...

Jesus said the Holy Spirit is sent to dwell in us to testify of the Son through us per John 15:26-27. And everything the Holy Spirit says and does, He defers all credit & glory to the Son per John 16:13-15 That means the Holy Spirit in us is not leading us to give Himself, the Holy Spirit, any...

For clarity in case someone should apply Ephesians 5:18 as if this is something a saved believer should continue to seek after for a continual filling of the Spirit, it is just a call to remain sober aka be filled with the Spirit as opposing getting drunk with wine. When Jesus made this...

We are indwelt with the Spirit of Christ as He is pointing us to keep our eyes on the Son in worship for by glorifying the son is how we are glorifying God the Father, There is no other way to glorify God the Father by per Philippians 2:5-11 Where does the glory of the Father rests upon? His...

Again, any reference to the Triune God or to the Three Witnesses within the One God does not validate ignoring the specific of His commandment to come to God the Father by His Son John 14:6 .... John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the...

Matthew 10:1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his...

Because it is pre ascension event and Jesus was still present with them, they were not receiving the Holy spirit as that Comforter yet. The condition for sending the Comforter was when Jesus was no longer with them thus sent by the Father. Jesus starts off talking about His going to the Father...

Then the way you "prevaricate", has you speaking out of both sides of your mouth. You claim you never said that and yet you proclaim it by referring to that filling of the Holy Spirit as some sign for preaching boldly the gospel for what you seem to base your calling into the ministry by...

@John of Japan The Battle of Principality Over Ephesians 5:18 Scripture cannot go against scripture and that is the only way to find the truth in His words with His help, in rightly dividing the word of truth.

Continued from post # 136 Initially, you did not present your interpretation as I was touching on it from which you had applied that I had just called you an apostate. If the shoe fits, you put that show on yourself, and rightly so. You have been deceived in seeking that phenomenon of a...

Present tense to stay sober, thus remaining filled with all the fruit of the Holy Spirit like temperance which is self control. Now you are adding to scriptures for what you say the "continual" filling of the Holy Spirit is for and not just presenting it as if it was a command for believers to...

But what exactly are you saying about the different views regarding the "role" of the baptism with the Holy Ghost? Let us consider the first incident of Jesus giving power , yes, the Holy Ghost, to His12 disciples, including Judas Iscariot, in Matthew 10th chapter and yet Judas Iscariot was...

@Van Explain this passage in scripture. Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the...

You say that at the expense of John 14:6 & John 5:22-23 as if Jesus did not really mean that. The scriptures cites the will of God the Father and that is to honor the Father by only honoring the Son. The latter part of verse 23 ,eaves no wiggle room for honoring the Holy Spirit by saying when...

Thank you for sharing the word and confirming the word that Ephesians 5:18 is in regards to our walk with Christ which is to be sober and not be drunk with wine.

You misunderstood me. That reference is for when Jesus has ascended to the Father per John 14:1-3 for when the Father and Jesus send the promise of the forever indwelling Holy Ghost per John 14:16-17 & John 14:25-26. The temporary indwelling of the Holy Ghost is referenced in Matthew 10th...

Since the role of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is performed by the Father & Jesus from Heaven for whenever anyone comes to & believe in Jesus Christ, there should be no four views on what that role is about the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The role of the Holy Spirit can have different...

More than likely, you are referring to false teachings by Pentecostals & Charismatics that apply certain events in the Book of Acts as if saved believers are receiving the Holy Spirit more than once and it has filtered its way into the Baptist churches. I am aware of the misapplication of...
