    The gospel of the kingdom, the everlasting gospel, gospel of Christ, etc.

    Sorry, Gideon, but NO ONE was "born again" in the OT. It was impossible because being born again required the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the righteous became born again after Jesus preached to them in Abraham's bosom and then rose from the dead. He emptied that place in...

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    Some Greek Texts say "Day of the Lord." Others say "day of Christ." We don't have a consensus on which day. However, since Paul's theme in this passage is the gathering, or rapture, let's refer back to His first letter about the rapture or gathering. In his first letter, about the rapture, we...

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    There is no real problem. Without a doubt, I think we all believe Christ was the very first human to raise from the dead with a resurrection, flesh and bone body that can walk through walls and never die, hense: "firstfruits." Do the dead in Christ "belong to Him?" They are in heaven WITH...

    REVELATION STUDY

    There are more events here in chapter 5 that are strange. When the angel is searching for one worthy, this first search ended in failure! We know that because John wrote, "no man was found." Yet, it seems in a subsequent search, Jesus was found. This question must be asked: WHY was Jesus not...

    REVELATION STUDY

    There are some interesting things in chapter 4: WHERE IS JESUS? This is His book about HIM. John saw the Father on the throne, but Jesus seems ABSENT. Then another question: John saw the Holy Spirit there, but Jesus had said that as soon as He ascends He would send Him (The Holy Spirit) down...

    Are WOMEN Pastors Biblical??

    Major, did you ever read? Luk 4: 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised...

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    Speaking of what is in scripture: He came once, and was nailed to a cross. He will come the second time but only to the air as shown in 1 Thes. 4 and in 1 Cor. 15. He will come the third time to Armageddon as shown in Rev. 19. Yes, I am quite sure! ;-)

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    How do you know it isn't? Strong's definitions for each word in this compound word: The question is, CAN this word mean something else? It is a compound word - "apo" and "stasia." Here is what Strong's says about "apo: of separation... ...of local separation, ...after verbs of motion from...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    Perter spoke out as directed by the Holy Spirit. He was speaking by the Holy Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit telling the people that the prophecy of Joel was beginning. I would not try to argue against what is written.

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    You will have to argue with Peter when you get to heaven! Pentecost was the START of Joe's prophecy. Did you ever wonder how many people today are filled with the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues? I can assure you, it is all races and people groups. I don't think Joel meant every single human...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    All this is true. The sun will turn dark, and the moon into blood after the church is raptured. They are the signs for the start of the Day of the Lord and His wrath. We have no appointments with His wrath. 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    What did Peter say? 16... "this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young In a way you are right: That day of Pentecost...

    Holy Spirit baptism and eternal salvation

    Let's rehearse: what does it take for one to be born again, after Jesus rose from the dead? (no one could be born again until after He rose from the dead.) 1. We must believe Jesus rose from the dead. 2. We must confess Him as Lord. John 20: 9 Then the same day at evening, being the first day...

    Rev. 17 is the Anti-Christ BEAST & his 10 kings (European Union) killing off the Harlot Religions John sets the theme of chapter 17: Rev. 17: "I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication...

    Who is the beast that was and is not?

    It is THE END but it's not when Jesus Returns. The END of what? I cannot be dogmatic because it is not written, but I am convinced it is the end of Adam's 6000 year lease. And because the lease ends, Satan's reign as the spiritual leader of the planet will end with it. So it is the end of man's...

    Who is the beast that was and is not?

    So you are agreeing then that the man of sin will be a flesh and blood man - just as Judas was a flesh and blood man.
