day, one would wonder what should be done in this ball of confusion that is called Earth. Some believe you must baptize, yet others say it is non-essential. The just shall live by faith. Yet faith without works is dead. Still there are those who alter baptism by sprinkling, which is a man made doctrine, and special garments believing this signified consecration to God, when God looks on the heart of man.
One would wonder does it really take all that? Why not just serve God in our own way, many say. Some believe in a Supreme Being, some don't know who He is, and some don't care. Religion: does it take all the many opinions, and discoveries in the Bible, or DID JESUS LEAVE US A CLEAR CUT AND DRIED WAY TO GET TO HIM? Heb:2:3: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. This is the true salvation, which was spoken by the Lord Jesus Himself, and the Apostles whom he sent out. Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
The religious leaders of Bible times said the name brought the blood. This is why men must be baptized in the name of Jesus in order to receive the benefits of the blood sacrifice to cover their sins. To some it doesn't take much to make it to heaven. Saul the Pharisee was traveling the road of Damascus to persecute Jesus name, Holy Ghost filled Christians when he was felled by a bright light from heaven; Acts:9:6: And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Later the Lord sent Bro. Aninias to lay hands on him…"Acts 9:17... putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightiest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts:22:16: And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. .
IN THE MIDST OF THE TRADITION of that day, the now Apostle Paul said…. if I or and ANGEL preach to you another gospel, which there is not another, let them be ACCURSED! If you are believing in another gospel today, other than baptism in the name of Jesus and the infilling of the Holy Ghost let us remind you, THERE IS NOT ANOTHER! Without obedience to the true gospel, Paul said, you are accursed. Should we just do the best we can?
THESE THREE ARE ONE: Jesus himself said, "if you don't believe that I am He (who is He?) The scripture states plainly; "this He spoke of the Father! The Jews took up stones to stone him, because they also realized that he was making himself GOD. "The Father and I are one" He said, and; "if you don't believe that I am He, ye shall die in your sins". If men understood this, they would be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, because Jesus also is the father of all, who created all things, including mankind. The Prophet Isaiah said: Isa:9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. SINCE JESUS is THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, we must recognize that Jesus is the Father, as is stated in the scripture.
Note; in Matthew, and also in Luke; it is stated that the mother of Jesus, MARY, WAS FOUND WITH CHILD OF THE HOLY GHOST, not God the Father. If the Holy Ghost and God the Father are two different persons, can two father the same
