IS THERE AN(EXCEPTION CLAUSE IN THE BIBLE FOR(DIVORCE/REMARRIAGE)?
(MATT:5:32)(mATT:19:9)MEN OF TODAY ARE LIKE THE PHARISEES OF OLD,THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A LOOPHOLE IN GOD"S LAW TO GET A DIVORCE/REMARRAGE TO ANOTHER WOMAN THEY THINK IS BETTER THEN THE ONE THEY HAVE.
PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS LOOK AT THE WORD(EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION)AND THEY SEE(EXCEPT IT BE FOR ADULTERY)OR(EXCEPT IT BE FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY)
HERE IN(MATT:5:32)(mATT:19:9)ADULTERY IS SUBSTITUTED FOR FORNICATION.WHAT DOES THIS WORD FORNICATION REALY MEAN?IT IS THE(UNLAWFUL)SEXUAL CONNECTION BETWEEN UNMARRIED PERSONS.FORNICATION AND ADULTERY ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS AND TWO DIFFERENT SINS.PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERSES OF SCRIPTURE.(mATT:15:19)(mARK:7:21-22)(1:COR:6:9-10)(GAL:5:19-21)
ADULTERY IS COMMITTED BY A MARRIED WOMAN THAT HAS HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH A HUSBAN.FORNICATION IS COMMITTED BY A WOMAN THAT IS SINGLE AN UNMARRIED PERSON.(1:COR:5:1-11)
THIS EXCEPTION CLAUSE IS ONLY FOUND IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW AND IS NOT IN THE OTHER GOSPELS.WHY IS THIS?MATTHEW WROTE TO THE JEWS ON THIS MATTER OF ESPOUSAL OR BETHROTHEAL.THIS ESPOUSAL BETHROTHEAL IS NOT FOR US GENTILES. (MARK:10:1-12)(LUKE:16:18)THIS IS FOR US GENTILES THEN AND TODAY.
(MATT:5:32)(MATT:19:9)THESE VERSES COVER THE JEWISH BETHROTHAL OF A JEWISH WOMAN AND A JEWISH MAN THAT SEEKS TO BE MARRIED.TO SHOW YOU THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN A MARRIED WOMAN AND A ESPOUSED WOMAN LOOK AT(DEUT:22:22-23)IF YOU NOTICE THAT THESE SCRIPTURES MENTION TWO DIFFERENT WOMAN.ONE IS MARRIED TO A HUSBAND,THE OTHER WOMAN IS(BETHROTHED)TO A HUSBAND.
THE MARRIED WOMAN IS A WIFE WHO HAS HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HER HUSBAND.THE OTHER WOMAN IS A BETHROTHED WIFE A VIRGIN THAT HAS NEVER KNOW A MAN IN SEXUAL RELATIONS.A MARRIED WIFE HAS LIVE WITH HER HUSBAND.THE BETHROTHED WILL IS STILL A VIRGIN AND HAS NOT LIVED WITH A MAN.THE MARRIED CAN COMMIT ADULTERY.THE BETHROTHED WIFE COMMITTS FORNICATION.
(DEUT:20:7)NOTICE THE WORDS HERE,A BETHROTHED WIFE)(BUT HE HATH NOT TAKEN HER).ONCE A HUSBAND(TOOK UNTO HIM HIS WIFE)THEY WERE NO LONGER BETHROTHED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME(ONE FLESH)BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER.THE MAN AFTER THIS HE COULD NOT (DIVORCE)HIS WIFE.(DEUT:22:13-20)(MATT;19:6)
AS I SAID AN(ESPOUSAL) OR (BETHROTHAL)IS A PRIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE PURCHASE OF A WIFE BEFORE THE MARRIAGE.THATS WHAT ESPOUSAL OR BETHROTHAL MEANS.THE MAN PURCHASES HIS WIFE FROM THE WOMAN'S FATHER.THIS JOSEPH DID TO GET MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I HAVE IN MY WEAK WAY TRIED TO EXPLAIN UNTO YOU WHO MAY READ THIS SERMON.(MATT:1:1-25)WHEN ARY WAS(ESPOUSED) TO JOSEPH BEFORE THEY(CAME TOGETHER-SEXUAL RELATIONS)SHE WAS FOUND WITH CHILD.WHEN JOSEPH FOUNDOUT THAT MARY WAS WITH CHILD,(HE WAS MINDED TO PUT HER AWAY PRIVILY-DIOIRCE)
TO ALL APPEARENCES MARY WAS GUILTY OF FORNICATION IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD.JOSEPH HAD FULL INTENTIONS OF DIVORCING MARY.
TOO SHOW YOU THAT ADULTERY AND FORNICATION ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS LETS LOOK AT THE GREEK.IN THE GREEK ADULTERY IS(MOECHIA).IN THE GREEK FORNICATION IS(PORNEIA)
AGAIN I SAY,UNDER JEWISH LAW WHEN A JEWISH MAN DESIRED A JEWISH WOMAN,HE HAD TO PURCHSE HER FROM HER FATHER.ONE THE PUCHASE WAS MADE THEN UNDER JERISH LAW THEY BECOME HUSBAND AND WIFE,BUT THE PURCHASED WIFE REMAINED WITH HER FATHER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MAN REMAINED CHASTE AND THE WOMAN REMAINED CHASTE TO EACH OTHER.(GEN:29:18)
ALL OF THIS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY SAID,PICTURES HOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD BOUGHT HIS BAPTIST CHURCH BRIDE.(ACS:20:28).CHRIST HAS PURCHASED HIS CHURCH BRIDE AND THIS ESPOUSAL OR BETHROTHED PERIOD HAS LASTED FOR OVER 2,000 YEARS.BUT JESUS IS COMING FOR HIS CHURCH BRIDE TO BECOME HIS WIFE AT THE WEDDING IN HEAVEN.(1:COR:11:2)--(1:THESS:4:17)

I WANT TO ADD TO THIS MESSAGE (EXCUSES)THAT MAN HAS TRIED TO THINK UP SO THEY CAN DIVORCE/REMARRY.
(1:COR:7:15)THIS SPEAKS OF (DESERTION OR ABANDONMENT)WHICH MEN USE IN AN EXCUSE TO DIVORCE/REMARRY).IS THIS A LEGEMENT BIBLICAL GROUNDS TO DIVORCE/REMARRY?
LETS BACK UP A FEW VRSES IN THIS SAME CHAPTER TO VERSES(1:COR:7:10-11)AND SEE IF THIS IS PAUL'S ANSWER ON THIS SUBJECT.BEHOLD WE SEE THAT PAUL IS SPEAKING TO THE(MARRIED)AND NOT TO THE(BTHROTHED).PAUL SAYS TO THE(MARRIED).'LET NOT THE WIFE DEPART FROM HER HUSBAND."THEN PAUL SAYS TO THE MARRIED HUSBAND,"LET NOT THE HUSBAND PUT AWAY(DIVORCE) HIS WIFE." HERE PAUL GIVES ONLY TWO CHOICES IF A HUSBAND AND WIFE SEPERATES ONE FROM THE OTHER.FIRST CHOICE"REMAIN UNMARRIED."SECOND CHOICE,"BE RECNCILED."PAUL IS SAYING THAT REMARRIAGE IS NOT AN OPTION AS LONG AS A SPOUSE IS LIVING.(1:COR:7:39)
PAUL DOES NOT SAY"THE WIFE IS BOUND BY THE LAW AS LONG AS HER HUSBAND LIVETH AND DOES NOT COMMIT ADULTERY;BUT IF HER HUSBAND BE DEAD OR COMMIS ADLTERY,SHE IS AT LIBERTY TO BE MARRIED TO WHOM SHE WILL;ONLY INTHE LORD."THATS WHAT MEN WOULD LIKE FOR PAUL TO HAVE SAID. PAUL DID SAY"THE WIFE IS BOUND BY THE LAW AS LONG AS HER HUSBAND LIVETH."ADULTERY DOES NOT CHANGE THIS."IF HER HUSBAND BE DEAD,SHE IS AT LIBERTY TO BE MARRIED." ADULTERY DOES NOT GIVE HER THE LIBERTY TO MARRY.DEATH AND DEATH ALONE IS THE BIBLICAL GROUNDS FOR REMARRIAGE.
PAUL,NEVER EVER GAVE HIS PERMISSION FOR A BELIEVER TO REARRY AFTER HIS OR HER UNBELIEVING SPOUSE DEPARTS.BUT MEN WHO WANTS AN EXCUSE TO DIVORCE/REMARRY TRYS TO SAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND PAUL TO BESAYING,"IF THE UNBELIEVING DEPART,LET HM DEPART.A BROTHER OR SISTR IS FREE TO MARRY IN SUCH CASES."SO MEN SO-CALLED PREACHER LEAD ASTRAY THE IGNORANT TO BELIEVE THAT(DESERTION/ABANDONMENT) IS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE/REMARRIAGE.(RO:7:1-3) IF ANYONE WHO READS THIS WISHES TO CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS THIS SUBJECT PLEASE CALL 1-740-377-9216) OR E-MAIL ME AT GAMPPS49@WEBTV.NET GOD BLESS YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST CALVIN WALLER
DEARLY BELOVED,I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE MORE PIECE OF EVIDENCE AGAINST EXCUSES THAT PEOPLE GET IN A WRONG INTERPRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES.THIS MISUNDERSTOOD SCRIPTURE IS FOUND IN(1:COR:6:11).PEOPLE MISSUNDERSTAND THE WORDS IN THAT VERSE("AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU.")
("AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU.")WHAT IS THE REAL MEANING OF THESE WORDS?NOW GO BACK TO THE VERSES IN(1:COR:6:9-10)ALL OF THIS MESS WAS IN THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH.FORNICATORS,IDOLATERS,ADULTERERS,EFFEMINATE,ABUSERS,THIEVES,COVETOUS PEOPLE,DRUNKARDS,REVILERS,EXTORTIONERS.PAUL WARNED THESE PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED TO BE BORN AGAIN THAT IF THEY CONTINUED IN THE PATTERN OF SINNING THAT THEY SAID THEY HAD REPENTED OF THEY WOULD NOT (INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD).
I BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE SOME IN THE CHURCH OF CORINTH WHO NEEDED THIS WARNING FROM PAUL.IT WOULD SEEM THAT PAUL DOUGHTED THE COFESSION OF SOME OF THESE PEOPLE.
APPARENTLY NOT ALL OF THESE CONVERTS HAD CEASED FROM THEIR SINNING OF THE THINGS THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD REPENTED OF.THATS WHY I BELIEVE THAT PAUL GAVE THIS WARNING.PAUL EVEN WARNED THE FAITHFUL THAT COULD FALL FROM THEIR STEADFASTNESS.THOSE WHO ENDURE WILL BE THE SAVED ONES.ONLY THE ELECT WILL ENDURE.
THERE WERE SOME IN THE CHURCH OF CORINTH THAT HAD BEEN BORN AGAIN AND HAD CEASED AND STOPPED THEIR PATTERN OF SINNING.SOME HAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WERE MADE(NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST).THEY PROVED THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD MADE THEM NEW CREATURES AND STOPPED THEIR SINNING OF THE CHARGES THAT PAUL SAID THEY WERE QUILTY OF.THEY PROVED THAT THEY WERE WASHED,SANTIFIED,JUSTIFIED IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.
SOME SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT A PERSON CAN BE FORGIVEN FROM ADULTERY AND STILL LIVE IN THE STATE OF ADULTERY EVEN THOUGH THE WORD OF GOD SAYS,IF FORGIVEN THEN FORSAKE THAT SIN IN SEPERATION.(PROV:28:13)(JER:7:9-10)
PAUL WARNED THEM THAT THEY MUST STOP.SOME WEAK PREACHERS SAY THAT THESE TYPES OF CHRSTIANS ARE CARNAL CHRISTIANS THAT LIVE OR CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE STATE OF THE SIN OF ADULTERY.
I HAVE SAD NEWS FOR SUCH PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE CARNAL CHRISTIANS IN THE CHURCH.THERE IS NOT SUCH ANIMAL AS A CARNAL CHRISTIAN.THESE SO-CALLED CARNAL CHRISTIANS WERE NEVER GENUINE CHRISTIANS FROM THE VERY START.
MAY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE BLESS THOSE THAT MAY READ THIS WEBPAGE.ALL THAT IS EVER PUT ON THIS WEBPAGE IS FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF CHRIST.

HERE I ADD A NEW THING THAT I BELIEVE GOD'S PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASKING WHAT MUST TAKE PLACE AT REGENERATION OR THE NEW BIRTH.
BELOVED THE FOLLOWING MUST TAKE PLACE BEFORE A PERSON CAN BE REGENERATED OR BORN AGAIN.THE LORD MUST SEND HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO ONE OF HIS ELECT CHOSEN IN CHRIST PEOPLE.THE LORD OF GLORY DOES NOT END HIS HOLY SPIRIT JUST TO ANYONE,JUST HIS ELECT.(EPH:1:4)
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SENT TO QUICKEN AN ELECT PERSON'S SOUL AND WHEN HE GET INTO THE SOUL,HE(IMPLANTS SPIRITUAL LIFE WHICH IS CALLED A NEW CREATURE OR CLEANSED RISED FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH PERSON.(JOHN:3:3,5)(EPH:2:4-5)(1:JOHN:3:9)
THATS THE FIRST THING THAT MUST HAPPEN.NOW THE SECOND THING THAT MUST HAPPEN WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SENT INTO THE SOUL IS THIS.THE POWER OF SATAN OVER THE SOUL MUST BE BROKEN.(ROMANS:3:9-12)(ROMANS:6:1-14,17,18,22)
NOW THE THIRD THING THAT MUST HAPPEN IS THIS.THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST REMOVE THE NATURAL HATRED OF GOD FROM THE SOUL AND REPLACE IT WITH LOVE.(ROMANS:1:18)(ROMANS:8:7-8)
THE FOURTH THING THAT MUST TAKE PLACE IS THE RE-CREATION OF THE IMAGE OF GOD WITHIN THE SOUL.THE NEW MAN WITHIN THE FLESH IS RE-CREATED IN HOLENESS WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS.(EPH:4:22-24)(COL:3:9-10)
THE FIFTH HING THAT MUST TAKE PLACE BY THE QUICKENING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THIS.THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST REMOVE ALL SATANIC BLINDNESS AND REPLACE IT WITH SPIRITUAL SIGHT OR ISITE.(2:COR:4:3-7)
NONE OF THESE ELEMENTS MUST NOT BE MISSING,AND IF ANY OF THESE ELEMNTS ARE MISSING THEN NO REGENERATION OR NEW BIRTH HAS TAKEN PLACE.I HOPE THAT I BY GOD'S GRACE HAVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BELIEERS AND UNBELIEVERS IS,THAT BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO(UNION)WITH CHRIST IN HIS LIFE,DEATH AND RESURRECTION LIFE.(ROMANS:6:1-14)
UNBELIEVERS ONLY EXIST UNDER THE REIGNING POWER OF SATAN AND SIN.(ROMANS:3:9-18).BELIEVERS HAVE HAD THE REIGNING POWER OF SATAN AND SIN BROKEN Y VIRTUE OF THEIR (UNION) WITH JEUS CHRIST.(ROMAS:6:1-14,17-18,22)
BY THE CRUCIFIXION OF OUR OLD MAN(UNSAVED-SELF FLESH)AND BY THE SUSTAINIG GRACE OF GOD,BELIEVERS DO COMMIT ACTS OF SIN,BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER UNDER SINS REIGNING POWER.(ROMANS:6:15)(1:JOHN:2:1)
I PRAY THAT ALL WHO COME BY THESE PAGES,THAT THE LORD WILL NOT ONLY BLESS WHAT HAS BEN WRITTEN,BUT BLESS THOSE THAT READ THEM.
YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST--CALVIN WALLER
I THROW OUT A CHALLENGE TO ANYONE TO REFUTE THIS MESSAGE,FOR I BELIEVE IT IS UN-REFUTEABLE.
THERE IS A BIG DILEMMA AMONG CERTAIN PEOPLE ON THE MEANING OF THESE TWO WORDS(INDWELLING)&(ABIDING).PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED AS TO WHEN OR HOW TO USE THEM.
(INDWELLING OR INWARD).THE WORD(INWARD) MEANS THE SAME AS (INDWELLING).THE WORD(INWARD) MEANS IN THE GREEK(ES-0-THEN) WHICH MEANS FROM INSIDE,INWARDLY OR FROM WITHIN.BY PROUNCING THE WORD(INDWELLING),WE KNOW THAT IT MEANS SOMETHING DWELLING WITHIN.THIS DWELLING WITHIN TELLS US OF THE(HOLY SIRIT),THAT COMES FROM CHRIST TAKES UP HIS ABODE IN A PERSON'S INWARD PARTS OF THE ELECT OF GOD,AND INCIRCULES,AND FOREVER PROTECTS THE SOUL OF GOD'S ELECT CHILD AND PRESERVES IT FOR HEAVENLY PORTALS ABOVE.
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS WITHIN OUR INWARD PARTS(SOUL),IT MAKES OUR INWARD MAN CHRIST LIKE.OUR SOUL IS MADE HOLY A FIT PLACE FOR CHRIST TO WELL WITH IN US.THE WORD SAYS(WITHOUT HOLINESS NO MAN SHAL SEE GOD).THE INDWELLING O THE HOLY SPIRIT GUARENTESS THAT A QUICKENED CHILD OF GOD SHALL BE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST WHO BOUGHT THEM.
THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GUARENTESS US THAT WE SHALL BE CHANGED INTO THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST'S HOLY BODY.(1:JOHN:3:9)
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT QUICKENS A SOUL TO ETERNAL LIFE,HE INDWELLS THAT PERSON FOR EVER.WE CALL THIS SPIRITUAL LIFE.IF THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT INDWELL A PERSON THEN THAT PERSON IS NOT A CHILD OF GOD OR THE ELECT OF GOD.
HOW DO WE DETERMINE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS INDWELLING A PERSON?BY PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN THE HEARING OF THAT PERSON.THE GOSPEL WILL CAUSE CERTAIN THINGS TO HAPPEN IN THAT PERSON.THE GOSPEL WILL BRING TO LIGHT CERTAIN GIFTS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS LEFT THERE IN THE SOUL IF HE HAS BEEN THERE.(GAL:5:22-23).THE GOSPEL IS POWERLESS TO GIVE THESE GIFTS.THE GOSPEL ONLY GIVES LIGHT(TRUTH)THAT BRINGS TO LIGHT THE EVIDENCE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN THERE.THE GOSPEL IS POWERLESS TO PRODUCE ETERNAL LIFE.(2:COR:1:22)(EPH:1:13)
PREACHERS DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN(INDWELLING)OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE (ABIDING) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.PREACHERS MIX THEM TOGETHER AND THAT WILL NOT WORK.TO PUT (INDWELLING) & (ABIDING) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TOGETHER WILL ONLY BRING ABOUT(UNIVERSALISM).INDWELLING & ABIDING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE TWO DIFFERENT SUBJECTS ALTOGETHER.THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLS ALL WHOM HE QUICKENS.BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT ABIDE WITH THOSE HE QUICKENS,UNLESS THEY ARE IN A TRUE BAPTIST CHURCH.YOU MIGHT SAY HERE(HOW CAN THIS BE PREACHER?)
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE.THE HOLY SPIRIT MAY QUICKEN A(DRUNKARD)TO ETERNAL LIFE IN A BARROOM.BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT(ABIDE) THERE IN THAT (BARROOM).THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT LEAD BARROMS INTO ALL TRUTH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY ABIDES IN A TRUE BAPTIST CHURCH.THE ONLY LEADS ATRUE CHURCH IN TO ALL TRUTH FOR HIS NAME SAKE.THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT ABIDE WHERE THE TRUTH IS HATED LIKE (BRROOMS).
LETS TAKE(CORNELIOUS AND HIS HOUSE).THE HOLY SPIRIT ALREADY (INDWELT) CORNELIOUS AND SOME OF HIS HOUSE HOLD,SHOWING THAT THEY ALREADY HAD ETERNAL LIFE,BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT DID NOT (ABIDE) THERE AS THE COMFORTER AS HE DOES THE LORD'S CHURCH.
PETER WAS SENT TO CORNELIOUS HOUSE TO TELL HIM OF GOSPEL TRUTH.THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY (ABIDED) IN THAT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN JERUSALEM AND THE LORD HAD CHOSEN CORNELIOUS AND SOME OF HIS HOUSE HOLD TO BE BAPTISED INTO THAT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN JERUSALEM.CORNELIOUS ND HIS HOUSE HOLD WAS LED TO WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS (ABIDING) IN THE CHURCH.CORNELIOUS WAS AN(ITALAN)SHOWING PETER THAT SALVATION WAS NOT FOR JEWS ONLY BUT FOR GENTILES ALSO.(ACTS:10:1-48).
THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELT THE BLIND MAN IN(JOHN:9:1-7).BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT DID NOT ABIDE WTH THE BLIND MAN FOR IF HE HAD,HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN CHRIST RIHT OFF.BUT IT WAS LATER THAT THE BLIND MAN CAME TO CHRIST WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDED WITH CHRIST AND SHOWED THE BLIND MAN CHRIST AND HE WORSHIPPED HIM.THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY ABIDES IN A CHRIST FOUNDED TRUE CHURCH.(JOHN:9:35-38)
IF INDWELLING & ABIDING MEANS THE SAME THING,THEN WHY IS IT THAT THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST TO (ABIDE) IN THE CHURCH?DID NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT ALREADY(INDWELL) THE APOSTLES?THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD ALREADY(INDWELT) ALL OF THOSE GATHERED IN THE UPPER ROOM ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD NOT YET TAKEN UP HIS(ABODE) OR HIS(ABIDING) POSITION IN THE CHURCH AS THERE TEACHER,COMFORTER SENT FROM CHRIST.
BELOVED,IT IS THE (ABIDING) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT GIVES THELORD'S CHURCH ITS POWER,AND UNTIL THIS POWER CAME THEY WERE POWERLESS TO WITTNESS OR TO PERFORM MIRACLES EVEN THOUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT(INDWELT0 THEM ALL.(ACTS:1:8)(JOHN:14:16-26).
THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MEANS THAT A PERSON HAS A NEW NATURE AD HAS BECOME A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST SPIRITUALY,BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SHALL ABIDE WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS AT AS THE COMFORTER,OR THE GUIDE INTO ALL TRUTH FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT AS COMFORTER AND GUIDE INTO ALL TRUTH WAS SENT DOWN ONLY TO ABIDE IN THE LORD'S TRUE BAPTIST CHURCH.
SOME MEN SAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDES IN FALSE CHURCHES WHICH HE DOES NOT.THE HOLY SPIRIT MAY(INDWELL)SOME IN FALSE CHURCHES WHO HAVE BELIEVED ON CHRIST.BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT ABIDE THERE AND DOES NOT LEAD THEM INTO ALL TRUTH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT IN FALSE MAN MADE CHURCHES LEADING THEM AS THE COMFORTER.THE MEANING OF COMFORTER SOME DON'T KNOW.THE GREEK WORD FOR COMFORTER IS(PAR-AK-LAY-TOS)WHICH MEANS INTERCESSOR,A COUNSOLER,AN ADVACATE,ONE WHO COMFORTS IN TIME OF GRIEF.THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT(ABIDE) IN ANY OF THE OLD WHORES DAUGHTERS.
BELOVED,IF WE SAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT ABIDES IN ALL FALSE CHURCHES,THEN ARE WE NOT TEACHING(UNIVERSLISM?).
MAY GOD CAUSE PEOPLE TO COME AND READ WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN FOR HIS HONOR AND GLORY. WE WILL WRITE MORE ON THIS MATTER LORD WILLING. PASTOR---CALVIN WALLER
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING HERE THAT I BELIEVE THAT PREACHERS SHOULD AWAKE UP TOO.
HOW MANY OF YOU THAT READ THIS REALY BELIEVE WHAT THE LORD HAS SAID IN HIS HOLY WORD.(JOHN:10:4-5,27)SOME MEN TEACH THAT THERE ARE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD,PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE AND YET ARE NOT BAPTISED AND ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE LORD'S TRUE CHURCH.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF THEORY.I CANNOT AND WILL NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRIST WOULD BRING A SHEEP INTO THE WORLD AND ABANDON THAT SHEEP TO THE WILDNERNESS TO FEED ON BRUSH,WEEDS,AND TRASH AND WITHOUT A SHEEPFOLD FOR THEIR SHELTER.
(JOHN:10:5)HERE THE LORD SAYS PLAINLY THAT HIS SHEEP (WILL NOT FOLLOW STRANGERS-FALSE PROPHETS).NOW WHY HAVE PREACHERS GONE FORTH TELLING PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW FALSE POPHETS OR STRANGERS WHEN THE LORD SAID THEY WOULD NOT?IT NOT THIS A (CONTRADICTION) TO WHAT THE LORD SAID.IN OTHER WORDS SOME PREACHERS ARE SAYING THAT THE LORD'S SHEEP WILL GO AND GET ALLIEN OR FALSE BAPTISMS AND FALSE CHURCH MEMBERSHIPS,WHEN THE LORD SAID THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW HIM AND NO ONE ELSE.
SOME PREACHERS AND TEACHERS OF GOD'S WORD SAY,THAT THE LORD'S SHEEP WILL GO AND GET ALLIEN BAPTISMS AND FALSE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP AND STILL WILL BE BLESSED OF THE LORD.IF THESE PEOPLE DO EXIST,AND I BELIEVE THEY DON'T THEY DO NOT COME UNDER THE GRATE COMMISSION THAT THE LORD GAVE TO HIS CHURCH AND THEY ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE LORD'S BODY,HIS CHURCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN BAPTISED INTO CHRIST NOR HAVE THEY PUT ON CHRIST.
NOTICE WHAT THE LORD SAID IN(JOHN:10:27)THE LORD PLAINLY SAID IN A FORCEFUL WAY"THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW HIM."FOLLOW HIM HOW?IN BAPTISM AND TRUE CHURCH MEMBERHIP.SOME WEAK MEN SAY THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS MIXED UP IN FALSE BAPTISMS AND FALSE CHURCH MEMBERSHIPS.THE LORD WILL NOT LET ONE OF HIS SHEEP END UP IN THIS SHAPE.SOME HAVE SAID THAT NOT ALL THAT (JOHN BAPTISED) JOINED OR ENDED UP IN THE FIRST CHURCH?I BEG TO DIFFER HERE.I BELIEVE THAT ALL WHOM JOHN BAPTISED ENDED UP IN THE FIRST CHURCH THAT CHRIST HIMSELF STARTED IN JERUSALEM.WAS THERE NOT 3,000 AND THEN 5,000 ADDED TO THE LORD'S CHURCH?DOES THIS NOT TEACH WHAT CHRIST SAID,"MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE(GOSPEL) AND THEY FOLLOW ME."I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE THAT CLAIM THEY BELIEVE AND DOES NOT HAVE SCRIPTURAL BAPTISM AND SCRIPTURAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP ARE SAVED PEOPLE AT ALL.BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING AGAINST GOD'S HOLY WORD.PERIOD.
