Apostolic Contender — Wed, 01 May 2013 19:40:39 GMT

"Satan, Demons, and You!" is an eciting new Ebook available in Kindle!

This book on spiritual warfare will do a number of things for you. It will identify Satan and demons in a new light. The false images of the devil are exposed and with the Bible Satan, is revealed. A number of important topics are discussed: the spirit of homosexuaity, how demons enter, how spirits trasfer from one person to another, how a fetus can have a demon, why diseases such as cancer come back, how to get deliverance and maintain it, the devil's two main weapons against you, why some demons cannot be cast out and much more! I have no doubt that the beginner and the well studied believer will gain insight through the lessons taught here. This book will be a great gift idea for your pastor or church leaders. Satan wants to keep us ignorant about himself and his tactics. Uncover him today!

The Father Know but the Son does Not

Apostolic Contender — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:04:07 GMT

Mark 13:32

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

The Trinity teaches that that all three persons are co-equal. If this were true, how then does the Father know something the Son does not know? This verse seriously contradicts that teaching of three co-equal persons. If the Trinity were co-equal, that would mean they all know equal amounts of information. They would all know exactly the same thing. This verse destroys that false theory!

The truth is that the son came as a man. He did everything as a man. Every miracle he did was as a man.

Christ had two natures…(as we do)

1. Spirit nature

2. Human nature

In reference to his human nature he was limited in knowledge. He slept, ate, worked and prayed as a man. The human nature prayed to God, just as we do.

Remember, the Father is "Spirit" while the Son is "Flesh". The flesh died on the cross and does NOT know all things.

The Spirit is omnipresent and all knowing and cannot die.

Tongues?

Apostolic Contender — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:01:04 GMT

John 3:5-7
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
KJV

Must a person have the Spirit of God dwelling on the inside to go to Heaven? According to Jesus, yes!

That is really not an argument among Christians. The argument is about "how does it happen?" and "is there a sign or evidence that it did happen?"

With a sincere indepth study you will find that there is a sign and that there is evidence that the Holy Spirit has come in.

Let us first go to where it initially happened, in Acts.

Acts 2:1-4
2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
KJV
This is the first time in the Bible that the Spirit of God came inside someone to dwell. According to this passage, all of the recipients spoke in other tongues as the Holy Spirit prompted them.
Regardless of your reason "why" it happened, it happened.

Did this type of event ever happen again? Yes!

Acts 10:44-47
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
KJV
This even happened about ten years after the first event in Acts 2. We can see again that "tongues" accompanied the Spirit coming in to dwell. Peter makes a bold declaration of this by saying "For they heard them speak with tongues". Peter recognized that speaking in tongues is the initial sign/evidence that the Holy Ghost came in.

Acts 8:16-19
16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
KJV
In this passage, tongues are not mentioned. It does not say either way about them speaking in tongues. It just says they received the Holy Ghost. To me it is evident that they spoke in tongues for look at Simon, he is so excited about some phenomenon that he cannot explain and wants the power to make people do this.

Acts 19:1-7
19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
KJV

This outpouring happened about 20 years after Pentecost in Acts 2. Twenty years later people are still receivng this gift of the Holy Ghost evidence by tongues. Notice that there was no interpretation after the tongues as some say there should be. There is clear proof in this passage that tongues was the sign that these these 12 men received the Holy Ghost.

If your heart is not open to truth, you will fight it until death but if your heart is open you should be able to see this truth with these few passages. There are more passages, more evidence that I will leave until another time.

They Have Deceived Millions!

Apostolic Contender — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:51:29 GMT

The Church of Rome has deceived millions! Even if you are not part of that church you still may be holding onto traditions started by them!

The most popular "tradition" is water baptism. You may believe in immersion and they sprinkle in their baptism and that is good but what is said in the baptism may be incorrect?

When you read the account of water baptism in the New Testament (Acts and beyond) it was always done invoking the name of the savior. It was never done using the titles (Father, Son & Holy Ghost).

If we are going to do something should we not do it the Bible way?

By the way, baptism is not a tradition. It is a command.

In Acts chapter 19, Paul baptized 12 men in the name of Jesus. In Acts 22:16 we find the story of Paul's conversion. He was "baptized calling on the name of the Lord".

Why follow the spirit of Rome? The Trinity baptism was invented by the RCC long after the Apostles were dead and gone!

Acts 19:1-7
19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

7 And all the men were about twelve.
KJV

Acts 22:16
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

The Trinity Proves Two Spirits of God

Apostolic Contender — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 00:40:33 GMT

Would a trinitarian admit or agree that God is two Spirits? Probably not but there doctrine is that.

Their belief is that God is a Spirit and the Holy Spirit is a Spirit.

They believe that their are three seperate persons one from the other.

If this were true then we would have two Spirits of God!

We the oneness people teach that God is one Spirit. We teach that the Holy Spirit is a Spirit but is the self same Spirit as God.

God is Holy.
God is a Spirit thus making him the Holy Spirit.

God does NOT have to be three people to do what he does. He can do it as ONE. Ask any devout Jew!

1 Cor 12:13
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
KJV

Eph 4:4
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
KJV

John 4:24
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

BAPTISM- Email to me and my Response

Apostolic Contender — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:19:06 GMT

My response is in larger caps.

Would you please read my response and not just scan over it? Please?

Dear Pastor Charles,

Ones again i greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

I fully believe in what the Bible say or the scriptures says

Quot ion: Do you mean if any one baptized in the Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit is a sin? "in the name" The word name is singular, meaning one name. Those are not names but titles. How can you get one name out of three titles?

Show me one person in the Bible that was baptized in the words "father, son & Holy Ghost" and I WILL SENT YOU A CHECK FOR $1,000! It is disobedience. Would you want your name or titles on the check?

No is not a sin because Jesus Say it in (john 10-30) I and my Father are one, How many? Yes "one", not two and not three. Jesus is the one name.

why Jesus so?

Again do you no that there is water baptized and Spirit according to(John:3-5) Jesus says unless some one is born again of water and spirit . Of course I know that is why you cannot go to Heaven without the correct water baptism and Holy Ghost.

JESUS SAID TO BAPTIZE IN THE NAME… WHAT NAME?

Listing according

Act :19-5 Poul baptized them in the name of Jesus because they don't have Holy Spirit

This baptized is spirit.

That why Poul lay his hand on them, baptized them in the spirit.

They were baptized in the name of Jesus NOT F, S & HG. And they received the HG with tongues.

Read the act, from v. 1 to5 you understand it.

John:14-1- 2 )

According to Mathew: 28-19 that is command that go make the disciple,baptized them in name God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. IN THE NAME, IN THE NAME, IN THE NAME, IN THE NAME, IN THE NAME. Do you get it? NOT NAMES. He spoke this to his disciples. So how did they baptize? IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The ONE name under Heaven is Jesus not father , Son & Holy Ghost.

IF YOU WERE CASTING OUT A DEMON, WHAT NAME WOULD YOU USE??? WHEN YOU SAY GRACE OVER YOUR MEAL WHAT NAME DO YOU USE???

But when they go they do it in Jesus name us you are saying, because i thing they forgo rt, the command because they are also Human been

Do you not believe that Jesus was the greatest teacher that ever lived?

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (No, they did not misunderstand. Jesus made them understand.

KJV

He send them do the work for him,

No they did not forget. They understood that the one name under Heaven is Jesus.

Col 3:17

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord_______, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. PLEASE FILL IN THE BLANK

KJV

He will come back and judge every one according to his work.

But my understand is that if you baptized in Jesus name or Trinity all are one.(john :10-30)say they are all one like (Erg) we have the york ,Cort ,and cover. am looking for weld to hear from you.

It is not all one. The trinity baptism came from the Roman catholic church which is the Mother Harlot Church of Revelation. The catholic church started this baptism of trinity in 325ad. STUDY THE HISTORY. On your computer google "325ad baptism" and see what comes up.

Please are you on Skype so that we can thork or chart. my cot.+ THANK YOU FOR REPLY GOD BESS YOU

Rev. B

Have a nice day.

Religious Deception

Apostolic Contender — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 20:20:29 GMT

Why can simple truths be so hard to see?

Get your Strongs and do a subject study of water baptism. Get ALL the verses that refer to baptism and study them and see what you come up with.

Will you find the early church baptizing in the titles of father, son and Holy Ghost or will you find them using the name of Jesus?

Some may agrue that they used both.

There are some that fall under the truths of the verses below.

2 Tim 3:7
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Tim 3:13
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Trinity for the Jews?

Apostolic Contender — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:38:40 GMT

ANSWER ME THIS...

When did the Jewish people change their belief and teaching about God?

Today, the Jewish people's faith teahes them that God is ONE. They do not believe in three persons of God. To them this is heresy and wrong!

When in history did the Jews change their belief?

The trinitarians teach that all of the Bible characters including Jesus were trinitarian. If that being true when did the Jews STOP believing in a trinity?

Yes, God is still ONE, just as the Jews teach!

The Physical Body of God

Apostolic Contender — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:15:11 GMT

The only human body that God ever had was the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus was more than a man. He was both God and man. He was God revealed in human form.

1 Tim 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
KJV

"God was manifest in the flesh"

It was not someone else that came. It was God himself that came.

The Gift of the Holy Ghost

Apostolic Contender — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:39:48 GMT

After Jesus ascended the Holy Ghost was given. This happened on the day of Pentecost after his resurrection.

The gift of the Holy Ghost is always accompanied by "tongues" or the speaking with tongues.

Many are teaching that this is not for today. Do not believe these unbelievers for this gift is for all them that believe.

Acts 2:37-39
37 Now 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?

38 Then 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.

39 For 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.
KJV

Carefully read the book of Acts to see how God gives the Holy Spirit.
