Guin promotes The Progressive Church of Christ and therefore attempts
to show that the "sectarian" group has been outdated. He uses the
common pseudo-disciple style of picking his verses, ignoring the
context, ignoring word definitions and "progresses" to an unbiblical or
anti-biblical theology. A historic Church of Christ beginning in
its QUARANTINED state FROM the tribe of Levi and the curse of the
not-commanded sacrificial system was the Qahal, synagogue or Church of
Christ in the wilderness: God sent his Word in the form of Jesus of
Nazareth to debunk and defang the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites
named in Ezekiel as self-speakers, singers and instrumental players: the
MEANING is that defines vanity or nothing at all.
When God turned Israel over to worship the starry host, Moses wrote an
inverted version of the Babylonian epics. This was to warn them and US
not to get suckered into returning to Babylon while claiming to be
progressive.
If God abandoned the Israelites without redemption when the elders
(always) wanted a king like the nations it was in order to worship like
the nations.
If your "mentor" wants to entangle you in the curse of Levi and the
abandonment to Babylonianism you should grasp that he is what Scripture
calls the crooked race.
Whatever you worship, for instance the WIND (spirit), the ONLY true
Elohim is Jehovah Who CREATED all of the creatures the pagans thought were "god persons."
See the Cursing of Agade
The view that neither the "god" person nor "Jesus" had the power to make
the earth into a place fit for human habitation is neo-Babylonianism. That is identical to
the Enki (god of winds and storms) role as the ultimate supreme member
of the Babylonian (etal) trinity.
See A Glossary of Babylonian "gods" and "goddesses" coming to a church near you.
BEL (Akkadian), Sumerian Enlil, Mesopotamian god of the air and a member of the
triad of
gods completed by Anu
(Sumerian: An) and Ea
(Enki). Enlil meant Lord Wind: both the hurricane and the gentle
winds of spring were thought of
- as the breath issuing from his mouth,
- and eventually as his word or command.
He was sometimes called Lord of the Air. The
Hebrew ruwach as in "the spirit hovered over the face of the waters"
is often personified as a third member of the god "family" and is
assigned tasks quite similar to Bel or Enlil.
Sumerian Ishkur, West Semitic Hadad, Adar, and Addu, also Rimmon, Ramman, "Earth-shaker"). Storm-god, canal-controller, son of Anu. God of lightning,
rain, and fertility. In the Gilgamesh epic, the
god of winds, thunder, and storms. Symbols: bull and forked
lightning; worshipped in towns including Babylon and Ashur
1Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount
before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and
strong wind [h7037] rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the
LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an
earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
H7307 rûach roo'-akh From H7306 ; wind;
by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation;
figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality;
by extension a region of the sky;
by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being
including its expression and functions):—
air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind,
1Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire:
and after the fire a still small voice.
Genesis 1:1 literally says that "in the beginning the
Elohim cast down the heavens and earth."
The Babylobian gods were the called the
Nephilim Nefilim,
Elohim, the
Anunnaki
However, Christ in the prophets insisted:
Is. 45:18 For thus saith the LORD
that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth
and made it;
he hath established it,
he created it not in vain,
he formed it to be inhabited: [squeezed into shape)
I am the LORD; and there is none else.
The
Wind some believe to be a member of a polytheistic god family is not a person.
Is. 45:19 I have not spoken in secret,
in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob,
Seek ye me in vain: (tohu)
I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
H2822 chôshek kho-shek' From H2821 ; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:—dark (-ness), night, obscurity.
Isaiah 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come;
draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations:
they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image,
and pray unto a god that cannot save.
Is. 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time?
who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD?
and there is no God else beside me;
a just God and a Saviour; (Yasha)
there is none beside me
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself,
the word [Dabar, Logos] is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,
and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Isaiah 45:24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength:
even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Jesus always used parables or proverbs when speaking for the
Mass Market.
He said that truth had been hidden from the foundation of the world to fool those of the
World (Jesus refused to pray for the world). He
also said that God HIDES Himself from the wise or sophists.

The task of Jesus Christ and the prophets and apostles was to DEBUNK all
of the "gods" of the pagans. For instance, He is Word,
personified Grace, Faith, Righteousness etc often worshiped by the
pagans. The elements and therefore "gods" are earth, Fire, Wind and Water.
Spirit is explained in terms the
World or the
Wise
will never be able to grasp and thus be led in the direction they are
already headed. Spirit, for instance is manifest in rhetoric, singing,
playing instruments and other agitating events used to take people
captive to the angels of light.
SPIRIT or any of the
AIR or
WIND words always spoke of people and
events which were destructive and kept people agitated such as the
"Winds of Doctrine." Spirit throughout the Bible is equated to the
Breath of God which--through Jesus whom He made to be both Lord and
Christ and Word and Grace comes in the form of
DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS to
both mark and avoid all of the religions of Hot Air from the East.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit: “The promise is for you and your children”
(Act 2:39
ESV) 39 “For the promise is for you and for your children and for all
who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
“Promise” is clearly a reference back to Acts 2:33: “the promise of the Spirit.” And that makes sense, because this passage parallels such prophecies as —
When Jesus promised another or different in some respects Holy Spirit
Comforter He said I WILL COME TO YOU. The "Spirit" was the Spirit OF
(preposition) God or of Christ made known by Jesus of Nazareth Who was
elevated to heaven and returned as The ONLY Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
HE hath shed forth this, which ye now SEE and HEAR.

Jesus of Nazareth Whom God made to be both Lord and Christ returned in
spirit to the giver of all spirits. He received the commission to
be the Spirit or mental disposition of God still available to mankind.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me,
I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One,
and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized,
and wash away thy sins,
calling on the name of the Lord.
The Holy Spirit was called Jesus of Nazareth who "guided Paul into all truth."
IT WAS JESUS CHRIST WHO RETURNED AS THE ONLY HOLY SPIRIT
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate {as Spirit Comforter} with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,
but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Baptism is obedience requesting A good conscience or A
holy spirit (personal) to invite Jesus to be the only Teacher of true
Disciples who do not fall into "windy" religious observations.
1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,
(I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
You know that you have A holy spirit says Walter Scott when YOU
do that which is holy. The Breath poured out the Word fully in the
upper Room. Jesus continued to guide the Apostles-Only into all
truth. Jay needs to prove that he has seen and heard Jesus of
Nazareth before he is qualified to be guided away from the truth in
context.
Again: Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
HE hath shed forth this, which ye now SEE and HEAR.
The "spirit" in the upper room was the sounds of rushing winds and fire:
the Spirit present in the upper room was Jesus Christ Who returned just
as He promised to guide them into all truth.
You cannot see "spirit" but you can hear the words produced by breath.
This was a one-time event and it never happened again. The wind
or air or breath which caused Cornelius to speak did not "save him" but
proved that at Pentecost Jesus Christ as the Spirit Word WAS now
available to "all nations" to which the Apostles were slow to accept.

Spirit literally means WIND: no more and no less. It is used figuratively of "breath."
Way down the list it means the spirit or mental disposition of a
person: never a person. What were the SIGNS of the outflow? Peter said
that it reminded him of the long ago and only other similar event:
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty WIND, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
The Apostles were Baptized by the Spirit Words of Jesus Christ. Jay Quin repudiates baptism but Paul says that WE must be baptized INTO the Word to qualify for reading or hearing the Words of Christ:

A holy spirit in Acts 2:38 is A good conscience (consciousness) in 1 Peter 3:21.
The anticedent of PROMISE is the Remission of sins: Your UNholy spirit becomes A holy spirit based on clear reading.
Alexander Campbell and all historic scholarship
"Paul meant such a public and sensible
exhibition of it as would commend the honesty and sincerity of the
heart to every man's conscience,
by "a manifestation of the Spirit" he
meant such an exhibition of his presence and residence
in the heart,
as
would convince the understanding of all that these spiritual men,
who professed to have
received the Holy Spirit himself,
did in truth
possess that divine agent.
From all which, may it not be inferred that
a person in the apostolic age, professing
to have received the gift of
the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit himself,
without a manifestation of
it; or who was unable to display
it by some unequivocal
exhibition of
it,
would have been considered
either
a
knave
or
a simpleton?
In 2 Corinthians the Spirit is the Spirit OF the
Lord: until the Corinthian Jews turned or were baptized into Christ
they would not be able to HEAR the word of God or READ black text on

The Gift of A holy spirit or Earnest: Alexander Campbell
This
is...understood by every attentive reader. The original phrase is
hagiasmos pneumatos, and is found only in II. Thess. ii. 13; I. Pet. i.
2. In both places it appears to refer to the sanctification of the
spirit of believers.
It is literally rendered "sanctification [or holiness] of
spirit."
There is no article in the original and no epithet that suggests the
Holy Spirit in either passage.
God has chosen men to
salvation through (or by) holiness
of spirit;
not through the holiness of HIS
Spirit,
but through the holiness
of their spirit.
When Jesus prayed
(John xvii.) for the sanctification or
holiness of his disciples,
it was through the
truth:
"Sanctify them
through the truth; thy word is truth." (and Spirit Jn 6:63)
The belief of the truth is,
therefore, by Paul associated with this
holiness or sanctification of spirit.
The Spirit of God is
frequently denominated in these
days, "the Sanctifier."
Let it be granted that
it is the Spirit that sanctifies
or sets apart men to God,
still it must be argued from
the Record that he sanctifies them
only through the truth or
gospel believed.
A sanctified
unbeliever is inconceivable;
and, as "without holiness [or
sanctification of spirit] no man can see the Lord;
so, without faith, there can
be no holiness, and no action acceptable to God.
All persons sanctified to God to any
high office or function, were anointed,
and thus consecrated to his special service.
So all Christians, being
priests,
are
anointed or sanctified by the Holy
Spirit
[135]
through the obedience of the truth,
and sprinkling
of
the
blood
of
Jesus,
cleansing THEIR consciences from
dead works to serve the living God
Acts 2:39 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.
This is not a selection made by God: God has called by the Gospel:
Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The Church of Christ is built upon the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles: Christ Jesus being the Word of God in both.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit (Isa 44:3
ESV) For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry

I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on

We have made it clear that when Jesus the Holy Spirit "poured out" in the upper room He breathed the Word of God.
Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty,
and floods upon the dry ground:
I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine offspring:
Pr 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold,

This is exactly what Christ in Spirit promised:
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD;
My spirit that is upon thee,
and my words which I have put in thy mouth,
shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth
and for ever.
What are the results?
Isa 44:4 And they shall spring up as among the
grass, as willows by the water courses.
Isa 44:5 One shall say,
I am the Lords; and
another shall call himself by the name of Jacob;
and another shall
subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the
name of Israel.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith
the Lord the King of
Israel, [The ONE God]
and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; [Jesus of Nazareth whom God MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ]
I am the first, and I am
the last;
and beside me there is no God.
When God sets something in order it would be ungodly to ask that He do it all over for ME.
Isa 44:7 And who, as I,
shall call, and
shall
declare it,
and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient
people?
and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew
unto them.
Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid:
have
not I told thee from that time,
and have declared it? ye are even my
witnesses.
Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not
any.
MUCH LESS IS THE ONE GOD AS WHOLLY SPIRIT IN NEED OF ANOTHER "PEOPLE."
Isa 44:9 They that make a graven image are all
of them vanity;
and their delectable things shall not profit;
and
they are their own witnesses;
they see not,
nor know;
that they may
be ashamed.

Since Paul commanded that we speak "that which is written for
our learning" those who cannot put two verses together in context prove
that the WORD of Christ or the SPIRIT of Christ has departed out of
their mouths.
PRETTY SIMPLE FOR READERS
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit As a result, the Spirit poured out in Acts 2
was not a one-generation event!
We have today the very same “gift of
the Spirit” and “promise of the Spirit” and “baptism with the Spirit” as
the original 120. (But we are, of course, very differently gifted.)
AGAIN, LETS HEAR ALEXANDER CAMPBELL SPEAKING FOR ALL TRUE SCHOLARSHIP.
From all which, may it not be inferred that
a person in the apostolic age, professing
to have received the gift of
the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit himself,
without a manifestation of
it; or who was unable to display
it by some unequivocal
exhibition of
it,
would have been considered
either
a
knave
or
a simpleton?
The Upper Room was the bedroom of the Apostles: There were not 120 in that room.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit : “Everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
John 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me
John 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets,
And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Many (most) are called but FEW are chosen (meaning tested as by fire)
Luke 8:40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned,
the people gladly received him:
for they were all waiting for him.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit : Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Now, we get to a challenging passage! What does “calls to himself”
refer to? Well, we obviously have to start with the Prophets, not Calvin
or Arminius. The word is borrowed from —
(Joel 2:32
ESV) And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of
the LORD shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall
be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall
be those whom the LORD calls.

This is a word for musical prophesy:
H5012 naba naw-baw' A primitive
root; to prophesy, that is, speak (or sing) by inspiration (in
prediction or simple discourse):prophesy (-ing) make self a
prophet.
"Here singing served as a means of inducing ecstatic prophecy (speaking in tongues). 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)
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit : Peter’s earlier quotation from Joel ended with the first sentence of Joel 2:32. He now paraphrases the last sentence, and “calls” in Joel 2:32 is the same Greek word as in Acts 2:39 — proskaleo. It means to summon, and it’s never used of a human calling on God, but rather is only used of God summoning a person —
(Act 13:2
ESV) While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit
said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
(Act 16:10 ESV) And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
SPEAKING WHERE GOD HAS NOT SPOKEN IS CALLED BLASPHEMY BY CHRIST IN JEREMIAH 23
Acts 20:1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them,
and departed for to go into Macedonia.
Acts 20:2 And when he had gone over those parts,
and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

The glorified Jesus of Nazareth received the gift of being HOLY SPIRIT:
He returned and poured forth what could be HEARD and SEEN. Calling is not "by invitation only" but is extended to all nations.

Jay Guin may think that he has the same gift but a disciple reads thw whole story.
Acts 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
The Gospel is the gospel or good news of the KINGDOM OF GOD: only those
who gladly receive the Words of Jesus and are baptized are added to the
Church as the visible part of an INVISIBLE KINGDOM.
Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit : In Acts, the word is used of God’s call to a mission.
In Acts it is the
gospel call to repent and be baptized in order that YOU receive A holy
spirit: salvation is FROM the crooked race of national Judaism: the
Crooked race are the getting drunk on wine or the skolion singers. It is
an invitation to be ADDED to the Church of Christ which is a school
(only) of Christ (only)>
It’s not the same word as used by Paul in Rom 8 —
(Rom 8:30 ESV) And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Verse 30 has a before and an after: a Disciple reads both:
Romans 8:28 And
we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to
them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he ALSO called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
God KNEW THE JEWS BEFOREHAND: He did not predestinate individuals to be saved or lost. This was the tiny remnant probably the 120 baptized by John.
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

........[3] that thou
mayest be my salvation

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 the nation

because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel,

The Assembly of Christ

Jay Guin The Promise of the Holy Spirit : But the interpretive challenge remains. Peter says the promise is for
those whom God will call, that is, whom God will invite or summon to
himself. (The ancient texts disagree as to whether “to himself” is in
the original, which is why several translations don’t have the phrase.)
Well, it makes sense. After all, at this point in history, God has
only called the Jews and, so far, only the Jews in Jerusalem. The call
will be expanded, as Acts will soon tell us. But the promise is only for
those who are called — but, of course, those who are called must
respond in faith. And not all the Jews present did.
Well, we said it before: THE CALL IS TO BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
