8/14/2019 Put Christ Back Into Christianity

1/3

Put Christ Jesus back into Christianity! The active belief in God through hisgreat grace will saves us all. Mental assent alone or the famed "I believe"without resulting acts is not enough according to Jesus, Paul, and James. John6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believeon him whom he hath sent. 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteousshall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, noridolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall

inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but yeare sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by theSpirit of our God. James 2:19-20 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doestwell: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, thatfaith without works is dead? If your house caught on fire you would run out of it.And spiritually speaking, you better get saved by God's way of salvation (ViaJesus. John 10:9 He's the door to Almighty God) and reject the other Gospel thatis outside of his word and will. Many denominations take away from his word whichis forbidden. Revelations 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth thewords of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Godshall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shalltake away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away hispart out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which

are written in this book. They do so by using a father, son, and spirit in theirbaptism formula instead of the only saving name both used by all the Apostles andcommanded by them. In fact, they believe the words of Ulrich Zwingli (1484 -1531.He was clearly the first to espouse the view that baptism had nothing to do withsalvation) and others (Such as Billy Sunday/Graham) than those of Christ's. Jesussaid, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth notshall be damned." (Mark 16:16) Also the following statements. John 3:5: Jesusanswered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and ofthe Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 24:46-47 And said untothem, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise fromthe dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should bepreached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. The Apostles allwere at Jerusalem and after receiving the Gift of The Holy Ghost with the evidence

shown by speaking in unknown or other tongues, then began to witness to othersthere. And upon their conviction said the following words. Acts 2:37-38, 41 Nowwhen they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and tothe rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said untothem, Repent, (Turn completely from your ways to God) and be baptized every one ofyou in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receivethe gift of the Holy Ghost. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Nowherewere they told to pray a sinful "Sinner's Prayer"or told to "Just Believe." Theywere told instead to repent and then by belief be baptized (From the Greek word ofBaptizo. Meaning to: Immerse, dip, or wash) into the name of Jesus Christ for theforgiveness, pardon, or remission of sins. Paul later himself became an Apostleand washed away his sins in the name of the Lord. Jesus is Lord of all says Acts

10:36. Therefore he was baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. Wrote that weshould do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:17: Andwhatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, givingthanks to God and the Father by him. Baptism is a deed with a word spoken over it.If it is not done in the name of Jesus by this verse alone, then it is sin andunbelief. James 4:17: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,to him it is sin. Romans 14:23: And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, becausehe eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Hebrews 3:19 So wesee that they could not enter in because of unbelief. You will not enter in thePromised Land if you o baptism man's way instead of the right and Godly way.Mathew 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the

kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that workiniquity. There are many ministries who apply Jesus name in all things exceptwhere it counts the most, in baptism. We read in Colossians 2:8-12 the followingwords. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after thetradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in

him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him,which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcisedwith the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins ofthe flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein alsoye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raisedhim from the dead. Paul said that we have put on Christ Jesus by our belief and byour baptism in his name. Galatians 3:26-28: For ye are all the children of God byfaith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ haveput on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. By faith inChrist Jesus we are baptized into one body of believers. Not by baptism into atriad or by means of a father, son, and spirit. These do not have any authoritynor power said Matthew himself. Matthew 28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them,

saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew himself waswith Peter on the day of Pentecost (50th day). He would of spoke up if the trinitywas needed in baptism. Yet, Jesus name is the family name of the Godhead.Ephesians 3:14-15: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord JesusChrist, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. Jesus came in hisfather's name. John 5:43: I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: ifanother shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. He was called o namedJesus. Matthew 1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his nameJESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. And the Holy Ghost/Spiritsent in his name. John 14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom theFather will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all thingsto your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. In fact, there is only oneway to God. John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the

life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There is only one baptism thatsaves you. Ephesians 4:5: One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Jesus and Paul bothspeak against division. Matthew 12:25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and saidunto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; andevery city or house divided against itself shall not stand. 1 Corinthians 1:10-24Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye allspeak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hathbeen declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house ofChloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of yousaith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christdivided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? Ithank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say

that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household ofStephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent menot to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the crossof Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to themthat perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. Forit is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothingthe understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where isthe disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleasedGod by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jewsrequire a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified,

unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto themwhich are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom ofGod. Paul baptized others into the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Lydia in Acts16:15, Jailer in Acts16:33, the Corinthians 18:8 and John's former followers inActs 19:1-5). Yet he was called to preach first and foremost. This means though hebaptized others in Jesus name he used his Deacons or helpers to perform thebaptism's in the only saving name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12). And evenformer President Abraham Lincoln spoke out against division as a weakening factor

of nations and peoples in his 1861 speech aptly named "The House Divided Speech."An except from his speech: In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shallhave been reached, and passed., "A house divided against itself cannot stand.", Ibelieve this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free., I donot expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but Ido expect it will cease to be divided., It will become all one thing or all theother. Until the churches return to the God of their youth and the faith oncegiven to the early believers, then this divided house will be weakened. All canclearly see that there is growing discontent with the power lacking forms ofreligions out there. 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying thepower thereof: from such turn away. People want life saving power. And that isonly available in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or Yeshuah. We are saved themoment we come up out of the watery grave. Romans 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many

of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Thereforewe are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised upfrom the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newnessof life. If we unify under the name of Jesus Christ then we will be safely savedfrom the wrath to come upon an unrepentant world. Here is a true record of ascriptural baptism. The following is a true record of a Baptism which took placein Rome A.D. 100 and was reproduced in TIME magazine, December 5, 1955. Thedeacon raised his hand, and Publius Decius stepped through the baptistry door.Standing waist-deep in the pool was Marcus Vasca the woodseller. He was smiling asPublius waded into the pool beside him. Credis? he asked. Credo, respondedPublius. I believe that my salvation comes from Jesus the Christ, Who wascrucified under Pontius Pilate. With Him I died that with Him I may have EternalLife. Then he felt strong arms supporting him as he let himself fall backward

into the pool, and heard Marcus voice in his ear - I baptize you in the Name ofthe Lord Jesus - as the cold water closed over him. By our faith in the onetrue God and unified under his name, we can defeat the oncoming onslaught ofMuslims under the banner of their God named Allah. If not, then expect to fall.United we stand but divided we fall. The choice is ours.
