CALLED IN GREEK Strong's Number: g2564 Greek: kaleo

Rev 17:14 ASV - These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
The Lord says you seek his will in your life, but you seek with fleshly motives.
The lord says you say you want more of him ,but your words fall to the ground for the fruit of your tree (LIFE) is manifest
The prayer of a righteous saint brings great results
You seek me with your lips but not with your heart.
If I came to seek fruit from you, would I get sweet fruit or bitter fruit.
A tree is known by its fruit.
If this word is harsh,cold and blunt its according to his word that you would come to him with sorrow and trembling in your heart. Yes God is love, he laid down his life to prove it, He said no greater love hath any man. Why do I write this way I just set down and it comes out. The Lord said if you put the word in you ,than it will find a way to come out. Please hear me when now when I say that every thing I write in this letter is for myself first ,God shows me this word and requires me to live it, I feel so small and unqualified to say or write any thing to any one. But one thing I know with surety is JESUS is in me and that he loves me. with a love beyond my own understanding. He is before the Father daily presenting my case, the word says the devil stands before God daily as an accuser of me and you. But Jesus with his great love, says to the father lets dig around them some ,and prune them some, and fertilize them, so they will bear more fruit. I know that I am in great need of the fruit of the spirit, and my cry is that he will not let me go,hold me Jesus and use your word to cut this old flesh and that you put your will in me to do your will. That he would give me love for his word and cause me to be PATIENCE and wait on him. People some times run ahead of God, Abraham and Sarah could not wait on God and did their on thing. I am always reminded of the fork in the road from my days past.I would be holding the Lords hand and we would be walking along. We would come to a fork in the road , Jesus would start to the right and I would go to the left and it would seem as though it took years to get back to where I left him. But you know he was still there right where I left him, waiting for me to come back. He never left me , my own will and rebellion would drag me through terrible times, but the Lord never left me. Such love , even beyond words, I don't have words to explain his laying down of his life for me. And he cares the same for every one of his children. And if he needs to prune you back some, so that the new growth will produce more fruit, fall back in his arms and say Lord do what you will to me I trust you, my life is in your hands.A Daddy spanks his children because he loves them and wants the very best for them. So now lets look, are we good enough for this love, can we be found in any way worthy in anything we have done to receive mercy. The word says NO. Now I want to tell you of a dream I had 35 years ago, it has come to me as I write this. So I will share it. I was with my family and we were on a mountain top.( You know I have come to realize that when you have a dream or a vision or an encounter with the Holy Ghost and there is a mountain involved ,that's where God is).
You know most of Gods children take for granted his ability and power in their life, his protection his love for them,and that he is there all the time. All scripture relates to God being on a mountain.
Most of the time God worked with men on a mountain top, He is high and lifted up and his train fills the temple his love is ever lasting. Jesus went up on the mountains to pray. Revelation comes from God and he is high and lifted up. Zion its self is a place where God dwells and it is called a mountain. In this dream my family and I were walking along and we were on a dirt trail of some sort,and looking at the view around us .And we came upon a path way ,it had changed, it was a man made pathway of stone and concrete. When I first saw it I could not understand what I was seeing. We were on a mountain top and than this walk way, We began to walk this path and see where it would take us. When we rounded a bend we came upon a arch way of stone, massive stone. And it began to curve downward to what looked like an opening of a cave and on downward.At first I didn't know what to do ,go back with my family or continue on .I felt this pulling a feeling to investigate. So we went on. and it began to go at a steep rate, going downward, there was some light so we could see but I began to feel this apprehension come over me. But this compelling drive was pushing me to go deeper and we began to walk on a stair well of stone with moss, very old in appearance, steps of an ornate design but very old, they were man made of some sort of stone or fashioned of stone.Its important to see everything in the Holy Ghost as we go, to see with the eyes of the spirit. And than we reached the bottom of the stairs. And as I looked around I began to see a large opening a deep cavern, a place that I felt was full of evil .And than to my right I looked and there was a large pulpit, it represents mans spirit, a form of godliness very old, very ornate with an( air of importance that's in the world) about it made of men . A man made structure with many symbols and signs of every kind. I can not tell you what they meant, or what their purpose was. There was a feeling that they represented some thing evil. And all of a sudden behind the pulpit there stood a man at first he seemed like any other man. There was light on him, a strange light But when he begin to speak it was the voice of a devil. He spoke blasphemies towards God and towards me. He was very angry his face began to contort and look dark ominous. And for every word of insult he would throw at me I in turn would speak the written word of God at him. It seem to be as if the word would strike him the word would strike him hard and he would flinch. He rose up over the edge of this massive wood structure and scream at me and sent fear and accusations of death towards me. And I would point at him without fear and speak the word of God and I must say that I cant remember the words that were said ,I think it was a battle for the souls of men, he was after someone else other than myself and my family.He was angry that we were there.We were standing in his way. He became full of rage he turned dark in his face, he than took on the countenance of a demon. And than all of a sudden he disappeared, and the pulpit became black and dark the light was gone and he was gone .And I turned and looked to the very back of the cavern, a very large place. And in the very back of the place was ovens large ovens and they were being maintained by minions little imps .Smaller demons,they worn black robes with hoods and were busy with something around the ovens. And when I stopped and looked at them ,they looked up at me and I could see their eyes, red eyes. Then immediately they stop there work, and as if I had found them out they started running in every direction scurrying to hide .Deeper into the cave they went. Sneaking and hiding as they went. I then turned to my family that was with me, my family I speak of in this dream was my wife and my children. And I spoke to them that we must leave now , we must go quickly back the way we came. Back up the ornate stairs and to the top. I turned with my family and we began to go up quickly. And then something spoke to my spirit and said look over the side and see. I stopped and turned to look over the side and down at the bottom of the stairs was a great amount of people they were stop at the foot of the stairs and were confused at what they should do next. As if they were going to go back to where they came from. And I shouted with a loud voice, leaning over the edge .I said STOP! STOP! YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY, FOLLOW ME COME QUICKLY COME THIS WAY. And then we all started up and out of this place.I still recall the dream vividly, and now comes the understanding of all this.I have had plenty of time to understand and receive the interpretation of this with Gods grace. But you know as I was writing this I was getting more about this as I went. The mountain that I was on was being in Gods safety his protection .But he said he wanted me to see something, just like when Ezekiel was told to go to the house of God and see what his people were doing. Eze 8:5 NLT - Then the LORD said to me, "Son of man, look toward the north." So I looked, and there to the north, beside the entrance to the gate of the altar, stood the idol that had made the LORD so angry.
"Son of man," he said, "do you see what they are doing? Do you see the great sins the people of Israel are doing to drive me from my Temple? But come, and you will see even greater sins than these!"
Then he brought me to the door of the Temple courtyard, where I could see an opening in the wall.
He said to me, "Now, son of man, dig into the wall." So I dug into the wall and uncovered a door to a hidden room.
"Go in," he said, "and see the unspeakable wickedness going on in there!"
So I went in and saw the walls engraved with all kinds of snakes, lizards, and hideous creatures. I also saw the various idols worshiped by the people of Israel.I want to say right here that these are the symbols and signs I saw on this evil pulpit, Private organizations, lodges and clubs and they all say in the name of God , places where men meet secretly, buildings with no windows, working evil works thinking God does not see them. And this is all the way to the top of our government. You can also see it now in the so called revivals happening in America today. Demons in control of men and their life's and having their way,making fools of people. Evil spirits deceiving many all in the name of their god.
Seventy leaders of Israel were standing there with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan in the middle. Each of them held an incense burner, so there was a thick cloud of incense above their heads.
Then the LORD said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying, `The LORD doesn't see us; he has deserted our land!
every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up. Now these censers were a type and shadow of a mans heart before God, the censer was made of brass and brass is a type of our flesh. God said of the two hundred and fifty with KORAH THAT THE CENSORS WERE HOLY.NUM 16-38. And fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
Its our bodies before the Lord open and visible. Just like the serpent on the pole in the wilderness. the serpent was sin, the brass was his sacrifice for our sinful nature, and the pole was the cross for every man to bear, and the incense is a type of the sacrifice of Christ for us, a sweet sacrifice, a precious odour to God ,ROMANS 12:1-2 And we in turn offer ourselves on the altar of God spiritually and present ourselves a living sacrifice unto God.
Strong's Number: g3744 Odor:Greek Osme :
"a smell, an odor" (akin to ozo, "to smell"), is translated "odor" in Jhn 12:3, it is used metaphorically in Eph 5:2, RV, "an odor (of a sweet smell)," AV, "(a sweet smelling) savor," of the effects Godward of the Sacrifice of Christ; in Phl 4:18 of the effect of sacrifice, on the part of those in the church at Philippi, who sent material assistance to the Apostle in his imprisonment. The word is translated "savor" in 2Cr 2:14, 16 (twice) . Aarons sons offered up strange fire. Lev 10:1 ASV - And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them. This fire was from Gods altar ! its holy Fire! . Where the word says he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire, this Jesus this precious one.It is a type a shadow of Gods plan for his people in Christ. This fire is the same fire it is Gods holy fire his righteous fire. It was not in order of what God intended, looking way into the future, these men were priest selected by God for holy service, these men knew what they were doing, they just didn't consider the consequences, just as men today. God speaks of a church with out spot and wrinkle, its his Church he loves, his church his body of believers the elect of God. And in all of this God saw his son being desecrated, And he killed these men for this . What will happen to the men of today offering up strange fire and disgracing the blood and the body of Jesus Christ, making of no effect his Great word! in Hebrew = Strong's Number: g4442 Greek: pur
Fire:
(akin to which are No. 2, pura, and puretos, "a fever," Eng., "fire," etc.) is used (besides its ordinary natural significance):
(a) of the holiness of God, which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith, Hbr 10:27; 12:29; cp. Rev 1:14; 2:18; 10:1; 15:2; 19:12; similarly of the holy angels as His ministers, Hbr 1:7; in Rev 3:18 it is symbolic of that which tries the faith of saints, producing what will glorify the Lord;
Mat 3:11 KJV - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire: This fire is the same as in the Heb its God working in you his will to do of his good pleasure . Remember the hyssop in the passover dip in the blood of the lamb. God told Moses to strike the door post and when he did the blood splattered and the crush of the hyssop filled the air with this sweet odor of sacrifice. Jhn 12:3 ASV - Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.She wiped his feet which is the gospel through out the world,and her hair is her submission to this Gospel, the authority of this Gospel. Here is your heart at the altar, seeing his great sacrifice.And men perverse men are trying to pervert this great truth. standing in the way forbidding that any should come to the truth. Denying the truth of Gods word.
Jhn 12:4 ASV - But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,
Jhn 12:5 ASV - Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?
Jhn 12:6 ASV - Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief,Does this sound familiar,we need your money ! and having the bag took away what was put therein. Here is the real intent of these men in sheep's clothing making merchandise of you.
Jhn 12:7 ASV - Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. Here again is the hyssop brought in from the old to the new a sweet smelling sacrifice. No greater love hath any man, he laid down his life for us to set us free from sin and death. He was Gods perfect sacrifice,a sweet odor unto God Everything is inner twined in the word of God and it all points to Jesus,the corner stone. The rock of offense 1Pe 2:8 ASV - and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Then he added, "Come, and I will show you greater sins than these!"
He brought me to the north gate of the LORD's Temple, and some women were sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz. Tammuz is another Jesus another gospel than what Paul preached. Tammuz was Nimrod reincarnate just like the son of God and born of a devils seed.
Look at the holidays you celebrate and find the real meaning of these holidays and see Tammuz in and around them all ,false Gods you are worshiping false GODS. Everything has its origin of birth its origin of conception. Bleach turns everything white just like the precious word of God and the word says he is full of light, no shadow in his turning . You can eat of this worlds flesh until it runs out of your nose and die in it, or you can eat the manna from heaven angles food and live for ever. Jhn 6:35 ASV - Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:48 ASV - I am the bread of life.
"Have you seen this?" he asked. "But I will show you even greater sins than these!"
Then he brought me into the inner courtyard of the LORD's Temple. At the entrance, between the foyer and the bronze altar, about twenty-five men were standing with their backs to the Lord's Temple. They were facing eastward, worshiping the sun! You are worshiping a sun god and don't know it, It started a long time ago back in history, just like the children in Egypt they brought the gods of the Egyptians with them, It is all pagan worship it came from a long time ago and it has been disguised so as to portray an innocent little holiday, the devil worshipers laugh at people that partake in them, they know what is at stake here. Its time to come into the light and let God show you what Iam saying .You do want to know dont you! Go to wickapedia search the history of these holidays. here is a site http://www.fillthevoid.org/Prophecy/HutchingsBabylontheHarlot.html this is a site you might want to look at, it is very reveling.
"Have you seen this, son of man?" he asked. "Is it nothing to the people of Judah, that they commit these terrible sins, leading the whole nation into violence, thumbing their noses at me, and rousing my fury against them? Now we move forward to today and realize that all the word in the old testament were types and shadows of better things to come ,what was done than was in the flesh , now we move and walk and talk in Gods spirit, now we walk by the spirit. Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. we are now opened up to a whole new walk. We walk in the spirit of CHRIST JESUS. Act 17:27 ASV - that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:
Act 17:28 ASV - for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. The mountain was the intended Church of God, the true church just as the temple in the verse above ,it said there was an idol in the gate some interpretations say a spirit of jealously was in the gate of the altar. And the altar is a place of sacrifice Gods true sacrifices. And men have come to pervert the church of God his people the body of Christ, arrogance and pride run rampant in Gods house they stand in the way and forbid people to come unto the Lord to come with broken hearts to the true altar of God.Its through their doctrines their teachings concerning the word of God they do not preach the truth and scoff at those that do.They are what Paul wrote about, they are preaching another Jesus,go read the word yourself and see its your responsibility to know the word of truth 2Pe 2:1 ASV - But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,
suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;
having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing; Greed is their way and they make merchandise of Gods people. 1Jo 2:15 KJV - Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 KJV - For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 KJV - And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. The evil man I saw at that altar was these men he was a type of all these men they dont know God and they dont Love him. They think they can hide from God and do their sins They say God dont see us or more than that they don't even believe God. The church is full of adultery and sins of the flesh and God has come to RENDER and remove everything that is standing in the way, in the gate of his altar.
Everything in this dream that emplIes something of old, it is that these apostate doctrines started just after the Church began and the devil has subverted the truth ever since. 2Ti 3:5 ASV - holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away. Look at some of the churches in America today and see how they love to spend money on these places, God dwells in the hearts of men not IN STONE BUILDINGS. This same spirit is the spirit that took forty years to build their temple lots of man made effort went into that place THE ARM OF THE FLESH BUILT BABEL TOO, and God was angry. Men are building monuments to themselves and God is not pleased, he is not there. My mind boggles at the so called churches in Rome and around Europe,and if you notice they don't call them churches they are called cathedrals a man made structure for a man made religion. Its beyond belief what is spent on something that is going to burn. And they committed child abuse and many other atrociousness acts behind their altars. How will the word speak against this in the days to come, the book the word, opened with the other books in Revelations at the great white throne judgment, and let it be known by all that Gods word says Rev 3:5 ASV - He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.Lets look at the word BLOT in that verse
Strong's Number: g1813 Greek: exaleipho
Blot Out:
from ek, "out," used intensively, and aleipho, "to wipe," signifies "to wash, or to smear completely." Hence, metaphorically, in the sense of removal, "to wipe away, wipe off, obliterate;" Act 3:19, of sins; Col 2:14, of writing; Rev 3:5, of a name in a book; Rev 7:17; 21:4, of tears.
There is a truth that all men must face in this word, I found this verse in Rev that denies the fact that sinners go to heaven,yes a man or woman can lose their salvation.But I have never found the one that says ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. Do you think that the ones blotted out in this verse is also the ones that Jesus said depart from me you workers of iniquity for I NEVER KNEW YOU !
People start out like the parable of the sower of the seed ,wanting to do what is right in the word but because of stubborn hearts and not having a repentant heart,letting Godly sorrow work in them,not worldly sorrow, the key here is to Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: its something we must do every day Go look in that mirror again,is the fruit of Jesus taking control of our life's, we will be known by our fruit. God is not coming back for your flesh, the tree ,he is coming back for sons the fruit of his spirit , Christ like people, children of God. 1Th 4:15 ASV - For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.
1Th 4:16 ASV - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
1Th 4:17 ASV - then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Cr 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Cr 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cr 15:54 ASV - But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cr 13:12 ASV - For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.
2Cr 3:18 ASV - But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect* the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more. That veil is our flesh being removed daily,becoming more and more like Jesus, and some day soon there will be no shadow in our turning.The old man is going away and the new man is coming into view. The moon is a dead star no light in its self,but when the son shines upon it, it becomes light too. 1Cr 15:37 ASV - and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
1Cr 15:38 ASV - but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
1Cr 15:39 ASV - All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
1Cr 15:40 ASV - There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
1Cr 15:41 ASV - There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
1Cr 15:42 ASV - So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Cr 15:43 ASV - it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Cr 15:44 ASV - it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body]. Luk 8:11 ASV - Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luk 8:15 ASV - And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luk 8:16 ASV - And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.
The dream in a nut shell is this that God is comeing soon and he is bringing the revelation of his word in great truth, and he is calling people out of this world to serve him with their whole heart and everything else is going to fall away. Many are called but few are chosen, chosen for service Aarons sons were called for service but they fell away, Many in the last days will fall away and trust in their flesh and not have faith to over come. There is only one way to enter the Kingdom of God its through the fire, Gods righteous fire. Your altar is ready, its your cross and we all have a cross.
Rev 17:14
Together they will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord over all lords and King over all kings, and his people are the called and chosen and faithful ones."
For every lack in your life ask ,believe its GODS grace that gives us the power to over come, he does the work,just submit to the word of reconciliation and fall on the rock and be broken.
God Bless You All

Splitting hairs with the sword of Gods word
When we placed our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we were born again. We were made new in Christ. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). We received a new spiritual heart, as promised of old. "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you" (Ezekiel 36:26).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is part of a recent teaching I read on line today, and I take exception to this. It is leaven ! to believe that we have faith of our own. Now you might say this goes with out saying, he means the same thing he is just saying it different. NO this is not the gospel Peter preached and Paul wrote about, this is not the word in truth. This is whats wrong with the church today. This is another gospel being preached. We have no faith to give God, Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Eph 2:8 ASV - for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; God did not tell Nicodemus just believe and you will be saved. Read it again ! He said you must be born again Jhn 3:5 ASV - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! What is being born again. The water is being borne again by the word of God, and the Spirit is recieving the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Rom 8:11 ASV - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Some people ask Peter how they could be saved and he replied with Act 2:37 ASV - Now when they heard [this,] they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. There are three things that Peter spoke here to these people, He did not say to except the Lord as your personal savior, He did not say just believe and you will be saved, there is a commandment here Coming from God through Peter to us all. There is only one way to be saved its not only here its all through the book. Jesus is the door and we must go through that door to be saved. It is the fulfilling of a promise from God. God killed Aarons sons for making strange fire Lev 10:1 ASV - And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.
Lev 10:2 ASV - And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.
Lev 10:3 ASV - Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD meant when he said, `I will show myself holy among those who are near me. I will be glorified before all the people.' " And Aaron was silent. Jesus said God is seeking such as Jhn 4:23 ASV - But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
Jhn 4:24 ASV - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
There is Grace from God now that there may be some come to repenteance, but the day is coming when God will consume all those that make strange fire. Yes it is very important to obey the whole word.
Act 2:39 ASV - For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
Mar 8:15 ASV - And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. Leaven in the greek
the unleavened bread, insipid in taste, reminding them, too, of their afflictions, and of the need of self-judgment, is called "the bread of affliction." "Leaven" was forbidden in all offerings to the Lord by fire, Lev 2:11; 6:17. Being bred of corruption and spreading through the mass of that in which it is mixed, and therefore symbolizing the pervasive character of evil, "leaven" was utterly inconsistent in offerings which typified the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ. (a) metaphorically
(1) of corrupt doctrine, Mat 13:33; Luk 13:21, of error as mixed with the truth (there is no valid reason for regarding the symbol here differently from its application elsewhere in the NT); Mat 16:6, 11; Mar 8:15
Traditions of men will not save you, God is after your heart its your heart he is seeing, Mat 15:18 ASV - But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 ASV - For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
Rom 10:10 ASV - for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. They that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
The spirit is Christ in you and the truth is the whole word of God alive in you, being made manifest in you. Bringing forth fruit unto repenteance. Jhn 15:8 ASV - Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples.
Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire: Johns baptism was a baptism of repenteance. John had to come first to prepare the way for Christ. Mat 3:11 ASV - I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Mat 3:12 ASV - whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14 ASV - But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15 ASV - But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. John was baptizing unto repentance and Jesus said it will fulfill all righteousness. And what is the meaning of baptism What does going down in the water represent, Strong's Number: g907 Greek: baptizo
Baptism, Baptist, Baptize: It is used in the NT in Luk 11:38 of washing oneself (as in 2Ki 5:14, "dipped himself," Sept.); see also Isa 21:4, lit., "lawlessness overwhelms me." In the early chapters of the four Gospels and in Act 1:5; 11:16; 19:4, it is used of the rite performed by John the Baptist who called upon the people to repent that they might receive remission of sins. Those who obeyed came "confessing their sins," thus acknowledging their unfitness to be in the Messiah's coming Kingdom. Distinct from this is the "baptism" enjoined by Christ, Mat 28:19, a "baptism" to be undergone by believers, thus witnessing to their identification with Him in death, burial and resurrection, e.g., Act 19:5; Rom 6:3, 4; 1Cr 1:13-17; 12:13; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12. The phrase in Mat 28:19, "baptizing them into the Name" (RV; cp. Act 8:16, RV), would indicate that the "baptized" person was closely bound to, or became the property of, the one into whose name he was "baptized." Eph 5:25 ASV - Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
Eph 5:26 ASV - that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
HE SANCTIFYS HIS CHURCH WITH HIS WORD,
Eph 5:27 ASV - that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Mat 3:11 ASV - I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Mar 1:4 ASV - John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.
Luk 3:3 ASV - And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Luk 5:32 ASV - I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Luk 24:47 ASV - and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Act 5:31 ASV - Him did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Act 19:4 ASV - And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus.
2Cr 7:10 ASV - For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For God can use sorrow in our lives to help us turn away from sin and seek salvation. We will never regret that kind of sorrow. But sorrow without repentance is the kind that results in death. Jhn 10:9 ASV - I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. You might say what are you trying to say Psa 119:160 ASV - The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever. Its the whole word that will save us, when you open a safe and the combination is 4-5-8- you must use the correct numbers to open the safe not 4-5-4. It will never open up to you. They say every head bowed and every eye closed and come and except Jesus as your personal savior . Jesus is not our personal savior!! he is the lamb that takes away the sin of the world. This is Apostate this is where their is no repentance, and they are not sorry for their sins! they want to hide and sneak in , But sorrow without repentance is the kind that results in death. This is that worldly sorrow that's for a moment than death comes. No man can come unto GOD except through Christ Jesus, He is the stone that the builders rejected, The chief corner stone. Mat 21:44 ASV - And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
Rev 20:11 ASV - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 ASV - And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. IT SAYS BOOKS AND A BOOK WAS OPENED,THE SINGLE BOOK IS THE BOOK OF LIFE, You think this may be the word of God we read right now, This word is going to judge us in that day.IT is the word of life, And the word was made flesh. The word says in that day we shall see him as he really is, for we shall be like him 1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. Christ is the word and if this word is manifest in us, made alive in us we shall also be a son of God. There is only one Gospel the gospel of Christ. Its not my words it is the word of God. Its in the book all we have to do is read it.
Mar 7:13 ASV - making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
Pro 30:5 ASV - Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
2Ti 2:25 ASV - in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
2Pe 3:9 ASV - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
"I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." (Ezekiel 36:27)
Christ in the greek strong's Number: g5547 Greek: christos anointed
It is added as an appellative to the proper name "Jesus," e.g., Jhn 17:3, the only time when the Lord so spoke of Himself; Act 9:34; 1Cr 3:11; 1Jo 5:6. It is distinctly a proper name in many passages, whether with the article, e.g., Mat 1:17; 11:2; Rom 7:4; 9:5; 15:19; 1Cr 1:6, or without the article, Mar 9:41; Rom 6:4; 8:9, 17; 1Cr 1:12; Gal 2:16. The single title Christos is sometimes used without the article to signify the One who by His Holy Spirit and power indwells believers and molds their character in conformity to His likeness, Rom 8:10; Gal 2:20; 4:19; Eph 3:17. As to the use or absence of the article, the title with the article specifies the Lord Jesus as "the Christ;" the title without the article stresses His character and His relationship with believers. Again, speaking generally, when the title is the subject of a sentence it has the article; when it forms part of the predicate the article is absent. See also JESUS.
2Cr 5:15 ASV - and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.
2Cr 5:16 ASV - Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.
2Cr 5:17 ASV - Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
2Cr 5:18 ASV - But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; He paid the ransom for us who believe he took our place.
God bless you all
