"And ye shall know the TRUTH and |
The TRUTH shall make you FREE" |
Free of what? Free of every other ideology, doctrine, dogma, or opinions of men! Jesus did not say the truth will 'set' you free. He said the truth will 'make' you free. The truth will make you free whether you want it or not. That is why David said in the Psalms, "....he maketh me to lie down in green pastures...." Once TRUTH is revealed to you, you must accept it or reject it... the decision and the choice is yours and yours alone...

Baptism Burial
"...only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 8:16 "And he (Peter) commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord." Acts 10:48 "When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 19:5 Note: Without exception the New Testament church baptized by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Church fathers early in church history changed the formula for baptism from in the Name of Jesus Christ to a triune formula developed by the traditions of men rather than the Word of God. ______________________________________

Am I a Christian? I have to know -- not the traditions of men, nor the writings of Historical Apologists, but the message preached by the first Christians -- namely the Apostles of God who were eye witnesses, and understood His Words of teaching, that is what I must have! To miss the Rapture is the greatest tragedy of a human life... "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26 |
