Featured Why do people think that Baptists came from AnaBaptists?

Why do ______?

"Baptists".

What "Baptists"?

BINO "Baptists" that adopt the name and precious little or nothing more than the name to go with it that is Biblical, Organizationally, Doctrinally, & Practically?

Or why do "those children of God CALLED-OUT, to ASSEMBLE, and not forsake assembling" ,.... Get It?

The 'get it' is for the Bible definition of The Lord's churches from the time He Founded them, called by many names, with 'Baptist' being significant because of their Authority to Baptise.

".... There are 6,7,8, distinguishing characteristics of The Lord's churches Taught in The Bible."

The definition of 'church' as used in the Bible is where Saved souls should start.

With the proper definition of words, as God Expresses them, doesn't leave room for Satan's false lies about 'churches', beginning with Roman Catholic Civil Union Counterfeit they called "The Church".

That has NOTHING to do with God.

...
That said, lost souls have reason to turn from their sins and toward Jesus.

There is no reason for a lost person to be interested in figuring out The Lord's churches.

Anti- Baptists are concerned, as "Baptists" in name only to oppose "Baptists with The Authority of God to Baptise".

So, when you want a NAME to define the ones who may claim to come from, and/or, have Ana-Baptist Teachings, and wonder why they would think they did, or do: "Ana-Baptists" did not honor pseudo-baptism, alien baptism, mam-made 'baptism of any kind.

They got called' ana' for 're'.

Biblically speaking they Baptised all converts by The Authority of God and those convert HAD NOT BIBLICALLY been 'baptised', SCRIPTURALLY, before.

No matter who TAUGHT they baptised them.
...

Your name, then, is:

Baptists that are "Baptists with The Authority of God to Baptise",

will certainly claim to come from, and/or, claim similar Teachings as Ana-Baptists that were, or are, "Baptists with The Authority of God to Baptise".

 

Regarding a 'candlestick' being to an individual, it would need a verse.

The Shikina Glory as The Presence of God in The Third Person of The Godhead that was Another Comfortor Promised by Jesus, Who Superintends The Lord's churches WOULD BE REMOVED, whether they continued to play church, or not.

1 Samuel 4:21-22 – “Then she named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”

Baptist History Notebook, By Berlin Hisel

 

Matthew 21:25
"The immersion of John — where did it come from? From Heaven or from a human source?”

This question was never answered.

 

Lost people aren't into verifying what they believe to be The Authority of John's Baptism, as a man Sent from God The Father, to Baptiste.

U?

 

No one needs to verify baptism as an authority. Nor done in authority. That is the point. The act of Baptism is being obedient, but there is nothing significant nor of authority in the act itself. Baptism can only remove dirt, because it is just washing of water.

John the Baptist had a ministry of repentance and preparation of the coming of Christ. Baptizing in the Jordan seems to be the only thing he was remembered for.

 

Yes, the position these Lost religious people took in The Bible, who weren't into verifying what they believe to be The Authority of John's Baptism, as a man Sent from God The Father, to Baptise, is the denial of God The Father, God The Son, & The Holy Spirit who Saved, Sent, Gave, and Superintended The Authority to Baptise, in Matthew 21:25 "The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? "who Saved, Sent, Gave, and Superintended The Authority to Baptise that John possessed then, and that has Followed All of The churches that Jesus Built, since that Time.

Authority in Baptism is the Ultimate Hallmark of All of The Biblically Organized churches that Have Come from The First One Jesus Divinely Founded, Planted, and Promised to Be with until The End of The Age.

In addition to a denial of God The Father, God The Son, & The Holy Spirit who Saved, Sent, Gave, and Superintended The Authority to Baptise that John possessed then, and that has Followed All of The churches that Jesus Built, since that Time, any current denial of The Authority of John's Baptism, as a man Sent from God The Father, to Baptise, is also a pure denial of The Bible, from the one quoted; Matthew 21:25 "The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?"

The Authority of John's Baptism, as a man Sent from God The Father, to Baptise, Matters to God The Father, God The Son, & The Holy Spirit.

The Bible Teaches in many places to Repent and be baptized. That is a Command. That Baptism is not any Baptism. It is The Baptism of John.

Everyone known to have been saved in the New Testament has a record of having been baptized by The Authority of God, in John's Baptism.

Jesus Walked 40 to 60 miles in order to be baptized by John.

In order to fashion false churches having nothing to do with The churches Jesus Built and Promised to Be with through the Indwelling Presence of The Holy Spirit and to forgo and be oblivious to what a church is, or what makes a New Testament church, or most all major Bible Doctrines, people say it doesn't matter.

Jesus Died for His churches, in the Special Spiritual Union Becoming Diety, to Bring Forth BABIES, in The Marriage relationship to Him.

Jesus Loved His church and Gave Himself for her.

With a proper, non-flippant-carnal-denial, and Scriptural understanding of The Bible, Satan's lies of what The Bible about churches will not hold up.

The children He Calls Out to be Scripturally Baptized Honor and Worship God, in and through His Churches.

Unto God be Glory, in the churches.

In Ephesians 1, GOD THE FATHER Placed JESUS CHRIST as The Head of The church:

19 "And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,

20 "Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 "Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age {world}, but also in that which is to come;

22 "And hath put all things under His feet,
and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 "Which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all."

In Ephesians 2 God Gives an Architectural Metephor of His Building in which He Dwells, i.e., His assemblies:

19 "Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and sojourners {foreigners}, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner Stone,

21 "In Whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord;

22 "In Whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

In Ephesians 3, God Says that is How and Where He is Worshipped;

20 "Now unto Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21 "Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."



Ephesians is about The Lord's churches, that are Scripturally Baptised, Saved Individuals, who Congregate as they are Commanded in The New Testament.


And The Harlot Daughters of The Great Whore DO NOT CARE.

 

Except the harlot kept John's Baptism front and center, giving it to infants, keeping the lie that water seals. Only the baptism of the Holy Spirit can do that. And God seals us in the womb at conception. Why do you think the modern versions changed the baptism of the Holy Spirit to immersion?
Explain how sprinkling is immersion? Not to take it lightly, but water baptism is not Holy Spirit water. John the Baptist understood what water immersion was. Philip in the desert with the Ethiopian knew what is was. Jesus did not baptize. He did allow his disciples to, because they all knew what it does. All disciples and apostles knew what it was. Only the Reformation did not know what it was, because they only knew what the church they were trying to reform taught them. Not many today know or accept the truth. Except perhaps the Baptist and those who hold to Baptist doctrine. Even Catholics can accept Baptist doctrine. They may not practice it.

 

It is a perfect example of my premise, "With a proper, non-flippant-carnal-denial, and Scriptural understanding of The Bible, Satan's lies of what The Bible about churches will not hold up", for you to state, "baptism of the Holy Spirit".

Perfect.

PERFECT.

Also: "the harlot kept John's Baptism"

Also: "John's Baptism front and center, giving it to infants"

...
This I do not know what it means: "And God seals us in the womb at conception".


...

Now, this seems almost Rock Solid ...
.....except.... when you are saying 'baptism' in this paragraph and saying that they knew "what it was" was___?

What? are you saying the baptism was?

...and what baptism 'does'?

re:

"Why do you think the modern versions changed the baptism of the Holy Spirit to immersion?"

"Explain how sprinkling is immersion?"

"Not to take it lightly, but water baptism is not Holy Spirit water."

"John the Baptist understood what water immersion was."

"Philip in the desert with the Ethiopian knew what is was."

"Jesus did not baptize".

"He did allow his disciples to because they all knew what it does."

"All disciples and apostles knew what it was."

...

Again, your thinking on 'what it was' is___?

"Only the Reformation did not know what it was, because they only knew what the church they were trying to reform taught them."

 

(I am going to be Loving this if you have a 'Teachable Spirit", and since you understand that Christianity did not begin in the 16th century, God Has you right in position to LEARN, from an OLD SAGE, hopefully.

If you can be taken from what you are saying to God's Proper Interpretation, you will flip out.

We'll see.

It takes God to Do It.

Ask Him, if you will.

"God, 'I don't know;

what does this guy think he knows...'

MAYBE N O T H I N G,

and tell Him, you just want to know the Truth,
and you and He Can Get it, to WORSHIP HIM.)

 

Knowing the Truth can only be God’s Will. Satan just wants us to know lies.

 

It is a perfect example of my premise, "With a proper, non-flippant-carnal-denial, and Scriptural understanding of The Bible, Satan's lies of what The Bible about churches will not hold up", for you to state, "baptism of the Holy Spirit".

Not to duke things out about various subjects, but to look for "With a proper, non-flippant-carnal-denial, and Scriptural understanding of The Bible, Satan's lies" don't hold up.

With that, I continue with the notion for you to consider that, "there is no such thing as Holy Spirit Baptism".

If that is true, then there won't be any actual Bible Teaching on it and once the Lord's Message is seen, then the passages and parts of them that appear to some as if they show "Baptism of The Holy Spirit" can be dismissed as Satanically influenced.

If that is not too hard for us, God Can Be Praised by His Revelation of what those passages say.

 

Only the Holy Spirit can reveal what the Holy Spirit Wills.
