1. Do you realize we are speaking in a thread that was not started by Blik? 2. In the time since you were spirit baptized, do you use it much? (Legitimate question, not just filler) 3. I was raised in a church that taught heavy reliance on the catch-all term "saved" as if it only has one...

Well, I was actually hoping to put some prayer into it to see if God would grant an answer that gets us past the 'pass' or 'fail-and-i-write-you-off' nature of your question, but I guess a sufficient answer might be "Because baptism began as, and remains, the mechanism established by God for...

FYI, there was a lot of prayer behind that posting. I took a trip yesterday and had little to do but pray in the spirit. That always pays off. Glory to God. Jude 1:20 KJV But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, ... Love in Jesus, Kelby

Wow. I didn't realize that those last two verses were also closely connected to vs 28, physically.

I really like this your post, probably because it's such a short and direct statement. But I somewhat disagree with the conclusion. This explanation will be heavy so please bear with me... The ark was irrelevant without the water. The water was the cleansing element to remove corruption...

Baptism was a basic part of becoming a disciple, both under John the baptist AND under Jesus. This is manifest not only at the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry...: John 4:1-2 KJV When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than...

This video from 1:19-1:55 is amazing! If you think about what he's saying, it proves that "God's will" wasn't the hindering factor in the failed prayer! Love in Jesus, Kelby

Since I've started rereading (and commenting), I might as well comment on one of my own. In the last paragraph I felt that something was missing in my recount of the situation... and it just dawned on me what it was. It was the word "snidely" (now added in bold) which is how the person who...

I just reread your post... and I still love it! :) Bold faith. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Also, John the Baptist died so you'd need to justify that in terms of your statement about Elijah never dying. I'm still liking the thread, even though I'm scutinizing it. Love in Jesus, Kelby

That's the thing I was saying could appear to justify your position. I'm pleased that you already know of it. But Jesus said John, not Elias, was the greatest. That puts John above Elias even though John was a fulfilling of the scripture about the reoccurance of Elias/Elijah. Do you know the...

I wasn't going to point out an earlier mistake or two because you have a lot of zeal and that is important to support. However, I think your zeal causes you to jump to conclusions and then try to justify them WITH scripture rather than learning FROM scripture. For example... saying that Elijah...

Even though I think that some differing conclusions can be reached, I'm glad that you are excited about the word of God and what it means in real life (at least that's what people call it). Personally I think the spiritual is the more real of the two because that will last much longer than our...

I was hoping you were referencing that particular story! (BTW, I agree with your explanation and use of axioms, and appreciate your efforts to make it clear). After having prayed about that story, I'll present the conclusions as best I can. God did not lie to the king. God found a spirit that...

For the record, I didn't say the container wasn't important. But I don't know why the physical body is important in heaven. And Jesus did indeed show up in physical form to his disciples after resurrection. But he also showed up in physical form to Mary weeping at the tomb and even though...

Well, in the Matthew 17:1-9 account, Jesus refers the to event as a "vision". No physical body necessary to show up in a vision. Personally I consider a person's body as simply the container in which the spirit of the person is generally stored. When the body is without the spirit, the body is...

KJV just says they disputed. Which to me means argued or debated about. And that doesn't require the body to be present. Also, if you feel Moses' body MUST be present for their dispute, it could mean that the dispute happened 1) before his burial...2) AT his burial site...or 3) after...

People who are recorded as having departed this natural life but not particularly by dying Enoch: Genesis 5:21-23 Elijah: 2 Kings 2:11-12 Jesus: Luke 24:49-52 & Acts 1:4-9 (Jesus didn't leave by death... he resurrected, then left by ascension) The two witnesses: Revelation 11:3, 8-12 (Like...

Not posting towards argument or debate. I just think this is one of the best analyses of Cain and Abel (which I thought you'd all like) and perhaps the best almost-accidental explanation as to why God didn't just kill Cain. It's by a psychologist, not a religious person. My apologies in that I...

I may tend towards over-analysis so please forgive my clarification(s) on my earlier reply. 1) I love the fact of noun vs. verb. 2) On the second part it's not that you have to demonstrate for anyone who says you have to... (otherwise Jesus would have needed to jump when Satan told him to...
