The North Boulevard and a host of historic churches of Christ
repudiate the clearly Biblical and Historical Practices.
A Christian is a Disciple and a Disciple is a Student and a
Student is commanded by Jesus Christ to teach and obey what He
commanded to be taught. The Church of Christ is defined as
TYPES where Jesus is the LAST and only PROPHET with whom God
spoke face to face and Mouth to Mouth.
A New Day Church as a christian WORLD VIEW which is the
Kosmos, the ecumenical or the kingdom of the Devil actively
making warfare against the Kingdom of Christ which does not
come with OBSERVATION meaning religious observations which
Paul called lying Wonders. The only way to terminate Apostles
and Prophets and allow them to leave US a memory is to
TERMINATE the Alpha Males creating their own SERFDOM.
HERE ARE A FEW PASSAGES TO MARK AS BLASPHEMERS WHO CLAIM THAT
THEY HAVE ANY WORDS TO ADD TO OR ENHANCE THE WORDS OF
JESUS. The Church of Christ is defined inclusively and
exclusively in the Prophets. A church of Christ then is
built upon or EDUCATED by the Apostles and Prophets. The
two operative words for the STRAIGHT people not OF this World
is to READ or SPEAK "that which is written for our
learning." Any organization beyond APT elders teaching
that which has been taught is a CULT led by an Alpha Male .

Romans 1 speaks of the Instrumental-Trinitarian-perverted
Idolatry. This happened because the people refused to
hear God deliver THE BOOK OF THE COVENANT based on
Grace. The Prophets define the COVENANT people
quarantined from the Civil-Military-Clergy which had been
turned over to worship the starry host including Apollyon or
Abaddon.
Acts
15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city
them that PREACH him, being READ in the synagogues every
sabbath [1 day or REST out of 7] day.
Acts
13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
because they knew him
not,
nor yet the voices of
the prophets
which are read
every sabbath day,
they have fulfilled
them in condemning him
Don't tell the theologians, but the Law of Moses was
given BECAUSE of transgression. That sin was making the
Golden Calf and worshiped it with Instrumental Music and
Sexual Perversion.
The Book of The Covenant
based on Grace delivered by the voice of God was
repudiated. The people demanded a human mediator now
in your church mediating in song and sermon. While God
was giving Moses the Abrahamic Covenant which had no clergy,
and after God saved them by grace, the Hebrews held a Modern
Worship Service to spit in God's face who gave the Sabbath
as a day of REST from the usual seventh day pagan Sun, Moon
and planet gods. God told Moses that they had sealed
their doom and Moses promised:
Deut.
18:15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
from the midst
of thee,
of thy brethren,
like unto me;
unto him ye shall
hearken;
Shama
hear intelligently, to obey. After the Israelites had
been marked with ANATHEMA because of their Vocal and
Instrumental rejoicing which leads to connecting SEX with
RELIGION. Anathema is God's ABANDONMENT to the Scribes
and Pharisees Jesus identified as HYPOCRITES. In Isaiah 29
and Ezekiel 30 the Spirit marks "performance preaching for
hire, singers and instrument players. This is the MARK
that no one intends to SPEAK or OBEY the WORD of God.
Thus
the essential relationship between music
and prophecy can be clearly seen. This
relationship also explains why the expression for "making
music" and "prophesying" was often
identical in the ancient tongues. origen contra celsum
8.67. The Hebrew word Naba signifies not only "to
prophesy" but also "to make music."
(Quasten, Johannes, Music and Worship in Pagan and
Christian Antiquity, p. 39)
Deut.
18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy
God in Horeb
in the day of the
assembly,
saying, Let me not
hear again the voice of the Lord my God,
neither let me see
this great fire any more, that I die not.
Deut. 18:17 And the Lord said unto me,
They have well
spoken that which they have spoken.
God HIMSELF puts His Words
into the Mouth by HIS SPIRIT and without measure meaning
no Musical Meter.
Deut.
18:18 I will raise them up
a Prophet from
among their brethren,
like unto thee,
and will put MY

command him.

2Cor.
3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the
old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the
vail is upon their heart.
2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
the vail shall be taken away.
2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

which shall presume

which I have not

even that prophet
shall die.
Deut. 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart,
How shall we know
the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
Later, Only Moses an Later
Jesus "A prophet like Moses" heard God's Voice. They
spoke what God wanted known. Anyone who claims that they are
a Prophet like Moses or Jesus is blaspheming.
Deut. 34:8 And the children of Israel wept
for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days:
so the days of
weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
Deut. 34:9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the
SPIRIT OF WISDOM ;
for [BECAUSE] Moses had laid
his HANDS upon him:
and the children of
Israel hearkened unto him,
and did as the LORD COMMANDED MOSES.
God spoke Face to Face and Mouth to
Mouth ONLY to Moses. That means that, as always
clearly stated "God puts His WORDS directly into the
MOUTH" of a Moses and Lastly to Jesus. God put His Word
into the Mouth but not CLEARLY.
Moses had to Lay His hands of Joshua to FILL him with
the spirit or "mental disposition" of Wisdom.
Joshua spoke ONLY what the LORD (yhwh) had commanded
Moses.
Prophesying before the "last will and testament" was
probated by the Apostles (only), like other supernatural
gifts, would be only ONE in a given congregation and
ANOTHER gift to another person.
Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of
heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things,
and to enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them
in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them,
These are the words
which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with
you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in
the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,

Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you:
Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of
restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the
mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he
shall say unto you.
Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which
will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among
the people.
Acts 3:24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those
that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise
foretold of these days.
Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the
covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto
Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth
be blessed.

Romans 1, Romans chapter one: Justification by faith only was
INVENTED and published in the yer 1525. A Just person DOES
just things: believing that Jesus is the Christ of God is a
RIGHTEOUS deed and therefore means that they are righteous.
However, that does not mean that they have been REGENERATED by
having God give us A holy spirit or A good conscience when we
REQUEST it by obedience at baptism. Alistair
McGrath on justification and regeneration Iustitia Dei,
Vol. 1
p. 184
"The significance of the Protestant distinction between
justification and regeneration is that a fundamental
discontinuity has
been introduced into the western theological tradition
where none had existed before. Despite the astonishingly
theological diversity of the late medieval period, a
consensus relating to the nature of justification was
maintained throughout. The Protestant understanding of
the nature represents a theological novum, whereas its
understanding of its mode does not."
p. 186
"The essential feature of the Reformation doctrines of
justification is that a deliberate and systematic
distinction is made between justification and
regeneration. Although it must be emphasized that this
distinction is purely notional, in that it is impossible
to separate the two within the context of the ordo sautis,
THE ESSENTIAL POINT IS THAT A NOTIONAL DISTINCTION IS MADE
WHERE NONE HAD BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF
CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE. A FUNDAMENTAL DISCONTINUITY WAS
INTRODUCED INTO THE WESTERN THEOLOGICAL TRADITION WHERE
NONE HAD EVER EXISTED, OR EVER BEEN CONTEMPLATED BEFORE.
The Reformation understanding of the nature of
justification - as opposed to its mode - must be regarded
as a genuine theological novum."
The mark of anti-Christ is
to deny that Christ came fully in the flesh. That was the
Gnostic denial and claim that Jesus didn't even leave
footprints in the sand. However, the plan of God is to
accept the man Jesus as "the Christ of God" with a gospel
which relates to our own human experience to make us
disciples. Modern Gnostics who teach "faith only" utterly
deny that Christ involves Himself in physical means and
INSIST that He come to them MYSTICALLY or even, as in
"believer's baptism" come and die for them personally. This
believer's baptism also leads some to believe that THEY have
to become CHRIST and die for their own sins.
Rejection of literal water
as Christ's means of giving a new birth has always been
connected with the denial that He came adequately in the
flesh the first time. See Believer's Baptism as an ancient
Pagan Baptism.
See our Baptism index to see that ALL
early scholars believed and taught that baptism is God's
chosen method to bestow A holy spirit.
Romans
1:17 is MISTRANSLATED to prove faith only and that those
who BELIEVE the statements of the Bible are heretical.
For
therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom 1:17
It
is not possible to prove FAITH ONLY without
mistranslating and by being blind to the fact that there
are verses BEFORE and AFTER verse 17.
PAUL,
a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God, Rom 1:1
(Which
he had promised afore by his PROPHETS in the
holy scriptures,) Rom 1:2
Concerning his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord, which was
MADE of the
seed of David according to the flesh; Rom 1:3
And
DECLARED to be the Son of God
with power,
according to the spirit of holiness,
by the resurrection from the
dead: Rom 1:4
THE FUTURE
REST IN THE CHURCH AS "SAFE-HOUSE" IS NOT DEFINED BY THE
LEVITICAL MUSICIANS PERFORMING SORCERY OR EXORCISM.
Amos 3:1
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O
children of Israel,
against the whole
family which I brought up from the land of Egypt,
saying,
Amos 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the
earth:
therefore I will
punish you for all your iniquities.
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos 3:4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no
prey?
will a young lion cry
out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Amos 3:5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no
gin is for him?
shall one take up a
snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Why would those who follow the
Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levites and insist on
blowing trumpets as WORSHIP when all instrumental sounds
create "laded burden" or spiritual anxiety?
Amos 3:6 Shall
a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
shall there be evil in a
city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,
but he revealeth his
secret unto HIS servants the PROPHETS
Verse 5 is
adequate to prove that "justification by faith" does not
mean FAITH ONLY and that justification does not mean
regeneration or the remission of sins: the Gospel of FREE
GRACE is taught to be OBEYED or there is no faith.
By whom we
have received grace and apostleship, Rom 1:5
for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Now to
him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the
revelation of the mystery,
which was kept
secret since the world began, 1 Cor 16:25
This was the tiny Remnant of Jews who
had not "bowed to Baal" and to the Remnant who
answered the invitation
Notice the two GROUPS which is
always the meaning of PREDESTINATED purpose.
And he
said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
servant to raise up
the tribes of Jacob,
........[1] and to restore the preserved of Israel:
........[2]
I will also
give thee for a light
to the Gentiles,
........[3]
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isa 49:6
Salvation is Yeshuwah! God chooses
those who DO NOT repudiate Him by THEIR OWN SINS.
Thus saith
the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
to him whom man despiseth,
to him whom the nation abhorreth,
to a servant of rulers, Kings shall
see and arise, princes also shall worship,
because of the Lord that is faithful,
and the Holy One of Israel,
and he shall choose
thee. Isa 49:7
But what saith the answer of
God unto him?
........ I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
........ who have not bowed the knee to the
image of Baal.
Ro.11:4
But now
is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according
to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for
the obedience of faith:
1 Cor 16:26
O foolish
Galatians, who hath bewitched you,
that ye
should not obey the truth, before whose eyes
Jesus Christ hath been
evidently set forth, crucified among you? Galatians 3:1
This only
would I learn of you,
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,
or (Received ye the Spirit) by
the hearing of faith? Galatians 3:2
WHAT? For
ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:26
HOW? For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:27
HOW
ABOUT JESUS' PROMISE TO MARTHA: isn't this SALVATION
by FAITH ONLY? No, not at all: the topic is imminent
resurrection:
Jesus
said to her, "Your brother will rise again." John 11:23
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in
the resurrection at the last day. ohn 11:24
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25
And whosoever
liveth [in Me] and believeth IN me shall never
die. Believest thou
this? John 11:26
Pisteuo (g4100) pist-yoo'-o; from 4102; to
have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or
thing), i.e. credit; by impl. to entrust (espec. one's spiritual well-being to
Christ): - believe (-r), commit (to trust),
put in trust with.
Pistis (g4102) pis'-tis; from 3982;
persuasion, i.e. credence; mor. conviction (of
religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious
teacher), espec. reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstr.
constancy in such profession; by extens. the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance,
belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
At this time Mary made
the good confession:
She saith
unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ,
the Son of God, which should come into the world. John
11:27
When the Enuch asked Philip "what
hinders me from being baptized"
Then
Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. Acts 8:35
When Philip preached to him Jesus,
the eunuch KNEW that it demanded BAPTISM.
And as
they went on their way, they came unto a certain water:
and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder
me to be baptized?
Ac.8:36
Faith-only
did not save him but APISTOS or "believeth not" would
prevent baptism. He was "justified" by his faith which
led to the important confession made by Martha.
And
Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,
thou mayest. And he answered and said,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God. Acts 8:37
The
eunuch had no CHURCH needing to VOTE HIM IN before he
could be baptized. Therefore, he needed baptism in order
to have his sins remitted EVEN AFTER he expressed his
faith.
And he
commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down
both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he
baptized him. Acts 8:38
And
when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of
the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no
more: and he went on his way rejoicing. Acts
8:39
After coming to the
tomb:
Jesus
saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God? John 11:40
Jesus didn't say: if thou woudest
believe thou SHALT BE SAVED!
Then they
took away the stone from the place where the dead was
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I
thank thee that thou hast heard me. John 11:41
The faith of Martha
caued Jesus to work a miracle to validate HIS ministry:
And I
knew that thou hearest me always: but because
of the people which
stand by I said it, that
they may believe that thou hast sent me. John 11:42
Among
whom are ye also the called

called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom

summoned a meeting of the Assembly that Aemilius might
address it. [9] Following the
practice of other commanders, he gave an account of what
he had done. It was a memorable speech worthy of a Roman
leader.
To
all that be in Rome, beloved of God,
called to be saints: Grace to you, and peace, from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom 1:7
First,
I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Rom 1:8
These
people continued to be justified by faith because they
continued to walk in that faith.
For God is
my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his
Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my
prayers; Rom 1:9
Serve means worship. Paul's personal prayers
were worship IN THE SPIRIT:
Latreuo (g3000) lat-ryoo'-o; from latris , (a
hired menial); to minister (to God), i.e. render religious homage:
- serve, do the service, worship (-per)
We have
an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
serve the
tabernacle. Heb.13:10
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought
into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are
burned without the camp. Heb 13:11
Making
request, if by any means now at length I might have a
prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
Rom 1:10
For I
long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual
gift, to the end ye may be established; Rom 1:11
Paul
ministered the spirit by preaching the truth.
That I
should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God,
that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable,
being
sanctified by the Holy
Spirit. Romans 15:16
To be SANCTIFIED means to
receive A holy spirit. That is the meaning of the gift of
A holy spirit (Acts 2:38) or A good conscience or
consiousness at baptism (1 Peter 3:21)
Let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with
pure water. Heb.10:22
Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of
God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
preparing, wherein few, that is, eight
souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20
Baptism,
which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a
removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for A clear conscience, through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 3:21
That
is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Rom 1:12
Now I
would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I
purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I
might have some fruit among you also, even as among other
Gentiles. Rom 1:13
I am
debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Rom 1:14
So,
as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Rom 1:15
For I
am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:16
Believing the gospel gives
one POWER: that is the meaning of justification.
Believing the gospel AGREES with God that He is righteous
and provides Light and Life to those who ASK of Him.
BELIEVETH insists that you believe the PROMISE of God in
Christ that "He that believes AND is baptized shall be
saved."
For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not
perish, but have
everlasting life. John 3:16
For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world;
but that the world
through him might be saved. John 3: 17
He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the
last day. Jn.12:48
Here are some of those WORDS:
And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and
preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved;
but
he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark
16:16
But
the Pharisees and lawyers rejected
(despised)
the counsel of God against
themselves,
being
not baptized of him. Luke 7:30
He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3: 18
You will
notice that FAITH justifies in that it proves that one is
NOT CONDEMNED. However, one who is not subject to the
JUDGMENT at the end of their lives IS not yet a
spirit-washed DISCIPLE who has signed on with Jesus
Christ.
And this
is the condemnation,
that light
is come into the world,
and men loved
darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. John 3:19
For every
one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light,
lest
his deeds should be reproved. John John 3: 20
But he
that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made
manifest,
that
they are wrought in God. John 3: 21
After
these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of
Judaea;
and
there he tarried with them, and baptized. John 3: 22
And John
also was baptizing in non near to Salim,
because
there was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized. John 3: 23
God justifies those who
do not call Him a LIAR because He connected salvation
and the remission of sins to a request made AT the time
and place of baptism (1 Pet 3:21_
And all
the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. Luke 7:29
But the
Pharisees and lawyers rejected (despised) the counsel of God against themselves,
being not
baptized of him. Luke 7:30
Believing the gospel
JUSTIFIES in that one confesses the rightness of God to
make demands:
But as
many as received him, to them gave
he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jn.1:12
Believing
DID NOT cause them to become the sons of God.
WHAT?
For ye are all the
children of God by
faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:26
HOW? For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:27
Being
justified gives one the POWER to become the children of
God. If you don't believe that God can internally WASH you
at baptism then you simply CANNOT BE a believer. You have
NO power.
This
POWER is ministered by baptizing those who have faith:
THE
GREAT COMMISSION:
And Jesus
came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. Matt 28:18
Go ye
therefore, and teach
[disciple] all nations,
BY:
baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt 28:19
AND:
BY: Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with
you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt
28:20
Only DISCIPLES are
called CHRISTIANS:
And when
he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came
to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with
the church, and taught much people. And the disciples
were called Christians first in Antioch. Ac.11:26
Disciples are MADE by
teaching, baptizing and teaching.
Therefore, no UNbaptized
believer is a Christian. Very clear.
THE
GREAT COMMISSION REPEATED:
And he
said unto them,
Go ye
into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
He that
BY: believeth
and
BY: is baptized shall be saved; Mark 16:16a
THE
POWER TO BE (future tense) is believing the Gospel
that Jesus Christ has that POWER.
He
that believeth is NOT ASHAMED of
Christ and His good news. That belief gives one POWER to
become children of God.
For I
am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the
power of God unto
salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 1:16
Only by
justifying God by believing that the Son of God has the
power to give life does one see an open door at the end
of the road: the WAY being hodos. At baptism one ENTERS
INTO (Eis) salvation or the remission of sins:
Now to
him that is of power to stablish you according to my
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according
to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept
secret since the world began, 1 Cor 16:25
CHRIST
BY PURE GRACE OPENS THE DOOR SO THAT WE CAN REQUEST
THAT SALVATION
and
is baptized shall be
saved; Mark 16:16a
But now
is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience
of faith: 1 Cor
16:26
HOWEVER:
but
he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16b
Apisteo (g569) ap-is-teh'-o; from 571; to be
unbelieving, i.e. (trans.) disbelieve, or (by impl.) disobey: - believe
not.
Jesus
didn't have to say that HE THAT IS NOT BAPTIZED shall be damned because
UNBELIEF had denied them of the POWER to become a child
of God.
Apistos (g571) ap'-is-tos; from 1 (as a neg.
particle) and 4103; (act.) disbelieving, i.e. without
Chr. faith (spec. a heathen); (pass.) untrustworthy (person), or incredible (thing): - that
believeth not, faithless, incredible thing, infidel, unbeliever (-ing).
He that
believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that
believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed
in the name of the only
begotten Son of God. John 3: 18
WE have
already noted that rejecting BAPTISM is rejecting God,
failing to justify Him and therefore calling Him a liar.
The ARTICLE of FAITH here includes the PROMISE of the
gospel that "He that believeth AND is baptized shall be
saved."
And all
the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. Luke 7:29
But the
Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves,
being not baptized of him. Luke 7:30
THE
MARK 16 JOHN 12 PARALLEL
The
response to the preaching of Jesus and John was to be
baptized FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. This is identical to
post-Pentecost baptism which is for both Jews and Gentiles
and as a request for A holy or regenerated personal
spirit.
