Luke 15: 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is a joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth!
Amen!
There is a process created and put forth by God to recover his creation from the punishment of death imposed upon all men through the choices decided upon by Adam and Eve!
That process we Must complete to become God's Children, Spiritually! The successful completion of this process should be the ultimate goal of every man, (species) to become like our creator (parent)!
It is commonly taught "all you must do is believe" and have faith, and God will Love you and accept you into his family, just as you are, "Receive Salvation!"
Well, "just believing" doesn't work in any other aspect of life. Why would we allow anyone to convince us that it is the path to Living Forever with God!

...FAITH JUSTIFICATION DOCTRINE
Well, "just believing" doesn't work in any other aspect of life. Why would we allow anyone to convince us that it is the path to Living Forever with God!
Something doesn't smell right with that!
The same people tell us;
"The Old Testament is done away with!"
"You ain't got to keep them old laws!"
"Jesus nailed the Laws to the cross!"
Then after having effectively removed the roadmap and tools the Lord provided man to become just like himself, those same unlearned individuals turn around and state, "we gotta go out and save the sinners"! 🤔
The individuals and Pastors who teach such things are not only promoting confusion, (and we know who the author of Confusion is), many are also deliberately deceiving!
Deliberately or Accidently doesn't matter, the end result of teaching and following those beliefs is the SAME.....
ETERNAL DEATH!
Ya really gotta wonder where all this stuff comes from!
Well, that's a topic for another discussion!
The Entire Book Is A Law!
MORE OF AN AUTOCRACY!
NOT A QUEST FOR DEMOCRACY!

As I live, saith the Lord God , surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God . And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord .

NOT REFERENCING THIS TEMPORARY LIFE OR DEATH!

THE CHOICE THE LORD IS SPEAKING ABOUT,
WHY?
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
https://bible.com/bible/1/heb.9.27.KJV
THE CHOICE THE LORD IS SPEAKING ABOUT,
IS
ETERNAL LIFE!
ETERNAL LIFE!
OR
ETERNAL DEATH!
SO, LETS DISCUSS ETERNAL LIFE OR DEATH!
The BIBLICAL definition of sin is;
The Transgression of the Law!
The Transgression of the Law!
1 John 3:4
You can't have sin if there is no Law to Transgress!
SACRIFICIAL LAW:
The Sacrificial Law was added because of the Transgression of the Royal Law (sin)!
Galatians 3:19 19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
Galatians 3:19 19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
DON'T BE THE LAWLESS!
These are two, (2) SEPARATE LAWS!!
(Sacrificial law), was added because man broke the (Royal Law)!
(Read About The Sacrificial Law in Leviticus).
Believing or having faith is most certainly a very important part of salvation, but the question everyone should be asking is; "Believing in WHAT?"
Faith and belief are the same thing!!
If we believe in the Lord and have faith in what God tells us to do, then we'll do it!
Doing so is called (Works)!
You know, like what Moses, Father Abraham, or what any number of the Biblical Patriarchs did? They believed God then showed it by their works!
James 2: 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
FAITH JUSTIFICATION IS NOT OF GOD!
Here's another scripture most people quote all the time.
Romans 10: 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
But guess who else called on the name of the Lord and believes?
Mark 5: 2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
_______________
Satan also believes, and even calls on the name of Jesus! So there has got to be more to Romans 10: 13!
The title of this tutorial asked the question;
"Do We Need The Baptism to Receive Eternal Life?"
And the answer is an emphatic
YES!
The BAPTISM is symbolic of Christ Death and RESURRECTION! It is part of a process the Lord has to recover his creation, after man introduced death into it.
Because of God's LOVE, he created a process to cleanse us from our PAST sins and to salvage the Lord's plan to re-create himself.
Simply, when we are submerged under water (death - grave), we are sinners. All the sins we've ever committed go into the water with us.
Once we emerge (life - resurrection), all our (PAST) sins we went into the water with are now forgiven. We have now become New creatures walking in the Newness of life through Jesus Christ.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
LOOK!

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
By believing in God and doing what God requires of man to become Just Like Him!
Members of The Godhead!
*Any willful sins we commit from that point on, we are personally responsible for!
The Lord tells us there is NO man that doesn't sin right?
Ezekiel 7: 20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
According to the word of God it is the willful, intentional sin that we serve, that man will be held accountable for.
Even after the Baptism!
Hebrews 10: 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
THE ROYAL LAW!
The GRACE that people through error, twist, stomp and scream about and promote as a free pass to continue sinning, according to the Bible is the FREE GIFT FROM GOD, it is JESUS DEATH and RESURRECTION - HIS BLOOD!
Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
GRACE A FREE GIFT!
We did nothing to earn it, Nor Can We!! Can't buy it, God's Grace is Not for sale.
And it's certainly NOT a free pass to keep sinning thereby trodding under foot the blood of Christ by continuing to sin!
SO! HERE WE GO!
He that believeth and is Baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
We shouldn't want to die, or in anywise expect to get into the Kingdom of God in our sins. There is but ONE place sin will lead us!
ETERNAL DEATH!
By completing the process which began with Adam and Eve. That began by them doing the same thing that even today, mankind insist on doing.
DISOBEYING GOD!

IN VERSE 15., THOSE ARE ALL SINNERS! INCLUDING THE DOG! AND NOT THE FOUR LEGGED KIND.
TAKE THAT UP WITH THE LORD, WHEN YOU SEE HIM!
Brothers and sisters, John the Baptist, was called "the Baptist" because that's what he did. He Baptized people.
Like Dan "the Plumber", Or Burt the Mechanic!
(There certainly were no ancient Christian denominations.)
COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY!
Christian denominations, are a derivative of the Roman Catholic Church. Or (because of it), and have nothing to do with John Israel son of Zacharias, that Baptized people!
Matthew 3: 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
But the Baptism did not start with John. The one we know as Jesus had the nation of Israel Baptized after he had Moses bring us out of Egypt! Baptized in the Red Sea!
(Yes I Said Jesus)!
John 5: 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
1Corinthians 10: 1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all Baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
_________________
*That's right, Israel straight out of Egypt was Baptized unto Moses in the Red Sea!
Moses was the Intercessor between the nation of Israel and God!
THE ELOHIEM!
SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT JESUS DID OR DID NOT DO, LET US 1ST BE CLEAR ABOUT WHO JESUS IS, WAS AND WILL BE!
THE ELOHIEM!
WHAT IS THE GODHEAD?
But now Jesus, (One of two in the Godhead), who came from heaven to die for our sins) is our Intercessor, High Priest, and advocate for us to the Father.
Why an intercessor you ask?
Man (because of Sin), is way too filthy to approach the Father. Even by virtue of this dying, rotting, flesh that we inhabit.
But when Jesus came in the flesh, he was tempted on all points, was torched and suffered unto death. He indeed lived the life of man!
REMEMBER THEY BOTH WALKED THE EARTH AND TALKED WITH MAN IN THE BEGINNING!
As well Jesus actually walked among Israel (his Priesthood nation) inside their camp, before their wickedness ran him out!
https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.33.1-7.KJV
As well Jesus actually walked among Israel (his Priesthood nation) inside their camp, before their wickedness ran him out!
https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.33.1-7.KJV
So he knows everything we suffer, therefore he is able to plead our cause to the Father! Which is why he came in the Fathers name (Jesus), sent the Holy Spirit in the Fathers name (Jesus), we pray to the Father in his name (Jesus), and must be Baptized in the Father's name (Jesus)!
Hebrews 4: 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Jesus is our high Priests, advocate, (intercessor) to the father. And We Need Him To be!!
WHY?
James 1: 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
But!
Hebrew 9: 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
But when we sin against God something MUST die. Sin brings about death!!
Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Lord showed us this in Eden. When Adam (Eve) sinned what happened? Animals died!
But the blood of Bulls and Goats could never pay the penalty for the sins committed by man! Animals, including the ones that God killed to cover Adam and Eve didn't sin against God, the first (man) Adam did!
Including Eve!!
So the second (man) Adam, (Jesus), had to die and become a propitiation (payment) for sin! Hence Jesus / God, the Lord himself, coming as flesh and blood man to sacrifice himself, (The Ultimate Sacrifice!)
THE ANIMAL SACRIFICIAL LAW WAS THE ONLY LAW NAILED TO THE CROSS, (ENDED) WHEN CHRIST DIED!!
THE ANIMAL SACRIFICIAL LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO THE DEATH OF CHRIST!
ONLY!!
THE ANIMAL SACRIFICIAL LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO THE DEATH OF CHRIST!
Galations 3: 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 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.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Hebrews 10: 1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Because Israel broke the COVENANT!
Jesus did not change it!
If in fact he made it more difficult.
Yet simple!
It still exist, and we must enter into it!
Hebrews 10: 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21And having an high priest over the house of God; 22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
21And having an high priest over the house of God; 22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
The old and new Covenants are (BOTH) based on the COMMANDMENTS!
How important is the baptism? As flesh and blood man, Jesus himself had to be Baptized as well!
Matt 3: 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Yep Jesus was Baptized too!
On that same day, he became: The Christ! The Messiah! Anointed One!
By the Father!
The Baptism isn't something to just jump into. The Baptism is a one time proposition that needs to be done with understanding!
And PURPOSE!
You must first find out about the God of Israel and what he requires of you and REPENT from any behavior contrary to HIS WILL. This must be done BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE BAPTISM and enter into an Agreement, COVENANT with him!
God does not recognize you as his people unless your in a Covenant with him.
Amos 3:1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
He proved that when he recognized Abraham as having only one son, Isaac. Although Ishmael was the son of his flesh as well. But Ishmael was not the son of the Covenant!
Gen 21: 12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Gen 22: 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
12And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah;
Gen 17: 7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
_________________________
*Seed! (Singular) not plural! This is important to understand! The Covenant was not made with Ishmael or Isaacs oldest son Esau! But they too, as with all of mankind can enter into his Covenant by the same process.
_________________________
Gen 17: 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my Covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
*So God's Covenant was made with Abraham Isaac, and Jacob!
Gen 28: 1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. 5And Isaac sent away Jacob:
Gen 35: 9And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
*Paul wrote about God's Covenant with Jacob (Israel).
Romans 9: 1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenant, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
*Interestingly enough Apostle Paul is not talking just a physical seed!
*Paul is talking a Spiritual seed! That is why we must all be Adopted into the family of God (Israel)!
6 .......... For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
__________________
But we all know the story how the Lord Adopted Jacob and his seed and changed their name to Israel. When we adopt a child we give the adopted child our last name, indicating they are now our children. Well God was perhaps the first to do this.
(Notice how there are no last names with the children of Israel?) They all had, have the same last name, before their Captivity! And so does everyone who becomes spiritual Israel, (children of God).
But the Baptism is but one step towards the Kingdom. In addition to the Baptism, there is also the male Circumcision that leads to the Adoption!
This is an EVERLASTING COVENANT!
When the Lord says throughout your generations, he actually means;
Throughout Your GENERATIONS!
But back to the Baptism!
Matthew 28: 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost are not names.
THOSE ARE TITLES!
Every man that has ever had a son is a father. Every Man is a Son. And the Spirit comes in many forms i.e. thoughts of the mind, word of God, Angles (holy and unholy), Breath of Life, God is Spirit.
AGAIN!
It's NOT enough to just be Baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Those are NOT NAMES! Those are TITLES!
If we're Baptized in those (titles), ALL WE GOT IS WET!
We MUST be Baptized in:
The Fathers name! (JESUS)!!
The name Jehovah came in, (JESUS)!
The same name the Holy Spirit is sent in, (JESUS)!
The Fathers name! (JESUS)!!
The name Jehovah came in, (JESUS)!
The same name the Holy Spirit is sent in, (JESUS)!
That's the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
JESUS GOD OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT!
JESUS IS THE FATHER'S NAME!!!
Jehovah came in his name to die for the sins of man!
Right about now (the light should be coming on!) SMILE!
Acts 4: 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Philippians 2; 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
TO THE GLORY OF THE FATHER.
Acts 2: 22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Jesus himself told the disciples to teach and then Baptize. you must understand what your getting into when you enter into a covenant with God.
Mark 16: 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

1 John 4: 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The God of Israel will add the Increase!
Galatians 3: 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put 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.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HISTORY!
TEACH THEM THE FUTURE!
And to the Saints EVERYWHERE, throughout the world, Grace and Peace to you and your households now and in the days to come!
PEACE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!
