So, in praying and asking God to deliver you from the oppression of demons, addictions, family, curses, what would be the role of Christ blood in this, and eventually leading to your freedom from oppression of demons and these other curses?

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are
My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32​

Deliverance comes by gaining in the knowledge of sound doctrine.
It has to be accurate teaching in order for the Holy Spirit to honor the Word with His grace power.
The Holy Spirit can not make to one with inaccurate teachings.

Pray to the Father in Jesus name for Bible doctrine for every area of your life.
To guide you to teachers who are able to teach soundly, and to give you wisdom needed to keep yourself away from false teachers.
It all boils down to getting the Word and understanding!

“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.”

Get sound teaching!


And, while you are searching. This will be the major problem today we must face when on the quest for good teaching.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great
number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Tim 4:3​

Grace and truth, brings grace and peace....

I learned exegetically from him too and then from the seminary he directed some of us to.

The English definite article is enough of an issue that as I recall Daniel Wallace who wrote the advanced Greek grammar we used in seminary wrote his dissertation on it. So there's more to it than what you mention although that can be a part of the consideration.

Overall, it's at minimum an issue of the article and the prepositional phrasing normally used in the verses re: baptism and the Spirit.

I had a heart-to-heart discussion with our Greek professor in seminary re: pneumatology when we were working through several translational issues. His opinion matched mine - it could still use some work.

I fully understand those who don't want to hear such thinking.


Of course. For it nullifies understanding anything.

Left with nothing.
 
Yes, English and a tiny bit of Spanish, and can somewhat understand English, Spanish, Polish, and Slavish


1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Was that a typo?
Gaining knowledge and doctrine? No. At least not completely. If you would’ve said it takes God’s spirit and hearing God then you would’ve been correct. You love fancy words more than anything else. The Bible says knowledge puffs up.

Isaiah 55:8-9


“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God thoughts are not our thoughts!
His ways can be contrary to our own.

We stop resisting God when we know sound doctrine.
Thinking straight with God allows us to get out of the way and allow God to work through us.
Lest we be controlled by their own human reasoning and emotions, as many are today.
