In Ephesians 2:20 the Apostle Paul, who received his Gospel directly from Jesus Christ through revelation (Gal. 1:12), tells us that the New Testament (Covenant) Church was founded on the teaching and writings of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS AND THE NEW TESTAMENT APOSTLES. In First Corinthians 10:11 Paul writes that the lessons recorded in the […]
Counterfeit Religion (Pt. 1)
Webster’s dictionary defines counterfeit as “to make a copy or imitation with the intent to defraud; to practice deception.” This perfectly describes Satan’s Catholic/Protestant Church System that has been in existence since the beginning of the second century. With the exception of a minutely few true believers (Mat. 7:13,14), this system, with Satan at its […]
The Template
A template is a pattern, an example to be followed in order to produce a perfect replica of an entity. For this posting we will use the word “example” when referring to the One we are to emulate (copy) in order to fulfill the Father’s will, and in so doing, qualify for eternal life. In […]
What Is Baptism? (Pt. 2)
In Matthew chapter three we find John the Baptist baptizing people in the Jordan River. He tells them to REPENT because the church age (Kingdom of Heaven) is about to begin. In verse seven he sees a group of Pharisees and Sadducees coming to be baptized. Knowing who and what they are, he stops them, […]
What Is Baptism? (Pt. 1)
All of my life I had heard the expression: “died in the wool,” meaning that something was so grounded, so rooted, so fixed in a certain condition that it could not be changed. For example, “He is a died in the wool democrat” or a “died in the wool ____________(name a church).” I knew what […]
What Is Conversion ?
“Many are called” to true conversion. Jesus warns that few will answer HIS CALL to partake of the marriage feast which will honor Him and His “bride” (His church) (Mat. 22:14). Like the five foolish virgins (Mat. 25), false converters will believe that they will be allowed in, but will be rejected. These are those […]
What Is Salvation?
The subject of this series has been greatly misunderstood by many people for many generations. Jesus said that few among the masses who would seek salvation would enter His strait (difficult) gate and walk His narrow (restricted) path leading to eternal life (Mat. 7:13,14). He also noted that, though many would be called to work […]
Are You Saved By Faith? (Pt. 3)
“All faith–no Law” is one of the “anything except Law” mind-sets that has characterized professing Christendom for almost 2000 years. A study of the writings of the New Testament apostles reveals the on-going war they were waging within the early church to establish and enforce God’s Law among the original believers. That same war continues […]
Are You Saved By Faith? (Pt. 2)
As I have stressed before on this website and in other venues, Scriptural study, which is commanded by the Almighty (Lord), must be carried out on a “here a little, there a little” basis as presented by the Prophet Isaiah in 28:9-13. Here God is speaking to “those to whom He can teach knowledge, whom […]
Are You Saved By Faith? (Pt. 1)
As is always the case relative to a spiritual (Biblical) statement, the WHOLE Truth involves a singular “headline” statement followed by several qualifying “fine print” statements, all spoken by God (Adonai/Jehovah) to the Word (Yeshua/Jesus), Who then spoke His Words to His prophets and apostles, who then preached them to physical Israel and recorded them […]
