Divide and
conquer. That is Lucifer's favorite game
to play against mankind. Yeshua (Jesus)
said that in the last days and even before that households and families would
be divided for His word. "The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against
the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law" Luke
12:53 And Micah 7:6 essentially says the
same thing. "For the son
dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the
daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men
of his own house."
So who can
we trust in these end times if not even our own family? That is a hard question to answer. As the police state grows around us the FBI,
DHS, FEMA and other government agencies are paying people to spy on you and
me. They will be people who are in debt,
people who love money over God and family.
They will be told "spy for us and all your debt will be
forgiven" and it will be too much for many to resist. The only person or entity you can really
trust is Yahovah (God) and His son Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and the message they
send through the Holy Spirit. There may
even be spies and wolves in sheep's clothing in your churches, your study
groups, etc.
This is why
it is so important to get into your prayer closet everyday and seek Yahovah's
holy council. Pray for wisdom and
discernment, ask Him to point out to you those who would deceive you or betray
you. Remember as we head further into
these end times that Satan will pull out all the stops to ensnare you and trap
you. In the end those who appear too
smooth and too glib with their tongues will more than likely be the ones you
need to weed out. Be careful not to
falsely accuse anyone, but be careful about what you say or do around some
people. Even friends who you have known
for years may be corrupted by this world and the false promises it
provides. Make sure that you yourself
don't get caught in the trappings of the world.
Having a nice place to live and a reliable attractive car isn't a sin,
but putting them first is.
Remember
that gaining the whole world isn't worth your eternal soul. If anyone who is in hell right now could talk
to you they would tell you NOT to waste the precious gift of life that God has
given you. They would tell you to warn
those who you love and are still alive that they don't want to end up
there. So be wary of those who tell you
smooth things, those that tell you to "be at one with the cosmos",
etc. Don't believe the fairy tales of
mans own wisdom, but seek God's wisdom and discernment in all the things that
you do. Let Him guide your steps even if
it goes against the grain of what men tell you is logical.
I even saw a
man who I respected greatly (a "health guru") get way off track
today. Now he's following his own path,
believing the lie that we can be our own gods and not following God's word and
path for his life. Don't be led astray
by such people just because they're famous, wealthy or well known. Always test the spirits and remember "by
their fruits you shall know them".

WILL A NONBELIEVERS BAPTISM WASH AWAY SINS? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteDo nonbelievers receive forgiveness from sins when they are baptized in water?
If atheists and other nonbelievers are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit do they receive forgiveness from sins? Of course not.
John 8:24 Therefore, I said to you, Your will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.(TBVOTNT)
Water baptism alone does not wash away sins. Nonbelievers will die in their sins.
Mark 16:16 He who has believed, and has been immersed, will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.(TBVOTNT)
Nonbelievers will be condemned.
Acts 3:19 Repent, therefore, and turn again, in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come seasons of refreshment from the presence of the Lord; (TBVOTNT)
Water baptism that is not preceded by repentance is meaningless. There is no forgiveness without repentance. Repentance means to change from unbelief to belief. Repentance means to make a commitment to turn from sin and turn toward God.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Let each one of you repent and be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(TBVOTNT)
Atheists and other nonbelievers do not have their sins washed away by being immersed in water.
Newborn babies and small children do not have their sins washed away by being immersed in water. Why? First they have not committed any sins and they are not guilty of sin. Second, if they were guilty of sin they are incapable of believing in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Jesus did not know good from evil as a small child and neither do newborn children know right from wrong. Babies are not sinners, nor are they guilty of sin.
Isaiah 7:14-16"Therefore the Lord Himself will give a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 "Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 "For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.(NKJV)
There is an age of accountability.
THERE WERE NO UNBELIEVERS BAPTIZED ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST NOR DID THE APOSTLES EVER BAPTIZE UNBELIEVERS.
