     | 4,500 views

    Water Baptism

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,664 views

    But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not a substitute for Water Baptism. Neither is Water Baptism a substitute for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They are two separate but complementary provisions of God for every person who comes to faith in Jesus Christ.

    “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) We learn ...read more

    If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

    The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

    Surely as Blood washed Spirit filled Fire Baptized Christians we should be considered a threat to hell. When the devil looks at you, he should see a Dangerous Christian. Not just a believer trying to hold out till Jesus comes, but a true warrior, tearing the devils kingdom down.

    Mark 16:16-18 KJV... He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

    Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 419 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more
