What Should I Do ?

this document,
You And
The Plan Of The Eternal God.
It is is directly
related to this document.
The
disciples of Christ were told to baptize new believers.
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:
This
was also told to believers.
So
believers should be baptized.
We
should carefully note, that it does not say that he who does not
get
baptized shall be damned, but rather, he
who does not believe.
Believing is the critical fact.
Luke 16:16 He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
Today genuine
believers are very few and scattered,
so finding a
believer, who could baptize someone is quite rare.
This is a bit of
a problem for us.
The Greek word
for Baptism, which means the full immersion of someone in water,
is an outward
sign, of repentance and also of a spiritual event.
I would not
advise anyone to ge anyone to baptize them.
It is one thing
to be fully immersed in water,
but how then does a non believer, impart the Holy Spirit to
the
new believer, so that they become a part of the body of
Christ?
If you do not have
the Holy Spirit, how can you pass Christ on to another?
After immersion
the person should have hands laid on them,
so that they can
receive the Holy Spirit ?
The answer is you
cannot give, what you do not have.
It is very
simple, as are most of the requirements for believers.
Whether we bother
to obey, is an entirely different matter.
These verses clearly show that there are two parts to
baptism.
Anyone can immerse another in water, but more than that is
required.
I repeat and stress, that the one baptizing then needs to
impart the Holy Spirit,
who dwells in them, to the one who has been baptised.
Here we see the two baptisms.
The first was a baptism unto repentance, and that is all.
The second, which was done in
the name of the Lord Jesus,
followed by the laying on of hands, which imparted the Holy
Spirit.
The
people, whom John the Baptist baptized, had no knowledge about the
Holy
Spirit. This is quite easy to understand, because at that time,
Christ
had not yet been crucified, resurrected, and ascended into heaven.
Acts 19:1 ¶ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was
at Corinth,
Paul having
passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus:
and finding
certain disciples,
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed?
And they said
unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye
baptized?
And they said,
Unto John’s baptism.
Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized
with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the
people, that they should believe on him which should come after him,
that is, on
Christ Jesus.
Acts 19:5 When they heard this,
(1) they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus.
Acts 19:6 And when
(2) Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them;
and they spake
with tongues, (Languages) and prophesied.
It
was only after His ascension, could Christ return as the Holy Spirit,
because
then He would not be limited to a single human body,
but
rather He would be like the atmosphere, everywhere,
and He would not
be limited by Time and Space.
This is a quality
of the Eternal God.
This is yet another nail in the false
doctrine of the ‘Trinity’.
Jeremiah 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret
places that I shall not see him?
saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
What
would you do,. if you were in an area,
where
there was not sufficient water to be able to be baptized?
Would
you be doomed?
The answer is ‘No’.
So my advice to
New Believers, who cannot be baptized is do not worry
about it. Here is
the reason why.
Baptism is an
outward sign of your obedience to the Eternal God,
who has called
you.
At some time in the
future, when the opportunity becomes available,
you can carry
out, what is stated in Acts
19:5 above.
Do not go looking
for anyone to do this.
At the appointed
time, the Eternal God, will arrange everything.
Infant baptism, is not biblical,
but then, this
should be no surprise, as many of the practices of Christianity,
are not biblical
either.
This is an
example from an Anglican Church – The Church Of England.
“And adult would
have to answer these questions.”
“Some
basic information:
During the baptism
you will have to answer three questions about your faith.
1. How do you
respond to God’s promise of forgiveness?
2. Do you
renounce all evil influences and powers that rebel against God?
3. Do you trust
in Christ’s victory which brings forgiveness, freedom and life?
Your priest will
help you to fully understand these questions and allow you to
answer in
confidence and knowledge.”

The
reality is that no one else can live our Christian lives for us,
regardless
of our age. It is absurd to claim that this concept,
of
infant baptism is wrong and that it is judgmental.
It
might well make the parents feel good,
and
be the reason for celebration.
There
is absolutely nothing wrong in celebrating the birth of a child.
Here
are the reasons why baby baptism is wrong.
Jeremiah 31:30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity:
every man that
eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of
the father,
so also the soul
of the son is mine: the
soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son
shall not bear the iniquity
of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son:
the righteousness
of the righteous shall be upon him,
and the
wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
wicked shall be
upon him.
You cannot repent
for someone else’s sin.
You
can certainly pray for mercy for the person,
so
that they do not die.
1 John 5:16 If
any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death,
he
shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin
unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
It
does not say, that his prayer forgives the sin of his brother.
It
has some mitigating effect on the actual life of the sinner,
that
is if the sin was one, for whch the penalty was death.
The
truth is that at some point in time,
the
sinner will have to acknowledge his sin, and repent.
The Anglican
church continues by saying,
what is even more
absurd.
“So, if you were baptised as a baby,
in whatever church that took place,
you are still baptised and
you cannot be baptised again”.
http://www.baptism.org.uk/anglican.htm
But
the first infant baptism was invalid anyway,
whether you have a baptismal certificate
or not.
It is not surprising in the slightest to see the great
confusion.
If even the ministry of this, and other churches,
cannot accept what the Word of God says about
homosexuality,
lesbianism and paedophilia how can we expect them
to understand anything, about what the Eternal God says.
It is a very sad indictment, that the above mentioned
abominations are rampant in the so called Christians
Church.
The
Anglican church continues by saying,
“Were you baptised?
Many people were baptised (christened) as a baby but have had little
contact with the Church since. Baptism is, nevertheless,
permanent
and cannot be cancelled or repeated. So, if you were
baptised as a baby,
in whatever church that took place,
you are still baptised and you cannot be baptised again.”
http://www.baptism.org.uk/anglican.htm
Did the apostles and disciples
give out baptismal certificates,
to those whom they baptised?
I thought not.
The
Anglican church continues by saying,
“Some people do not know whether they have been baptised
or not.
It is important to find out from parents or older
relatives and to discover
where it took place, because you may
need to obtain a baptismal certificate.”
http://www.baptism.org.uk/anglican.htm
It is likely,
that many churches have some similar rules,
as it all
originates from the Vatican.
However, some
would insist that you get baptised again.
That is because
in reality, you are being baptised into an organisation,
and not actually
into the body of Christ.
The churches are
very strong on ritual, and political correctness,
but they are
incredibly weak on the laws of the Eternal God,
and actually
listening to, and obeying what the Eternal God says.
The truly
horrific legal accusations,
which are brought
against minsters, and priests of all churches,
are quite
unbelievable, but none the less they are true,
often we read of
court cases dealing with these atrocities.
So
what can we do for babies?
If we know a genuine servant of the Eternal God,
we could ask him to bless our child.
This
is fine and acceptable.
We should remember that prayer is
utilizing the spiritual realm,
therefore it is not necessary to be
present to pray for blessings
on anyone.
However, there
are some very important things to remember.
First, I repeat what I just said, no
person can give what they do not have.
Secondly, never ever allow any one to
pray for you,
in tongues, as is
common in the Evangelical, Pentecostal,
and Catholic
churches. You might be surprise at the mention of the
Catholic Church,
but when a priest is racing high speed through
his ‘Mass’, do
you know what he is saying?
I thought not.
It
might come as a shock to some of you,
but
when someone is praying in “Tongues” for your child
or you,
in
reality whilst carrying out this demonic activity of ‘Speaking in Tongues’,
they
can be cursing you, and your child.
If
you then say ‘Amen’, to such a thing, you are actually accepting this curse.
Amen means, “so be it”, that means let what you have said take place.
Many writers have
exposed this.
You will also
find it here:
Delivered From The Powers Of
Darkness By Emmanuel Eni
This is not pie
in the sky, fiction, but reality.
It is common for
people, who are involved in witchcraft,
to covertly
invade churches.
Witches make
themselves very valuable members
of the church,
before they set about destroying it.
Then suddenly out
of nowhere,
they strike and
put their devious plan into action.
Jesuits do the
very same thing.
I know what I am
saying, I have the experience.
Here is the truly
astounding revelation,
of how baptism
works in the spirit realm.
There is a much
greater event, which takes place in the spirit realm,
when one repents,
accepts Christ as personal Saviour, and is converted.
The following
verses, are ones,
which I have
quoted countless times, in my documents and videos.
This is the very important thing.
I
truly love, how the Eternal God, puts certain things,
completely
out of the reach of man,
Baptism,
and the seventh day, Sabbath, is another.
The
seventh day is determined by the sun, which marks the start
and
end of each day.
You only have to be able to count to 7 that is all.
You cannot make the 7th day, the first day, etc.
Later the 7th day was called the Sabbath.
At first the days only had numbers.
There
are many things, which happen in Eternity, and are then
and
are then brought into time and space at the appropriate time.
The
Eternal God, will arrange that the physical activity,
which
He commands, will take place for each believer on the earth,
when
the time, and circumstances is right, that is His appointed time.
It
is very similar to receiving the seal of God, in our foreheads,
which
we have been told has already been given, to all genuine believers.
Some
will inevitably have some catching up to do,
as
they put their lives in order,
but
the sealing has already been carried out.
This
is is already an established fact.
It is also worth pointing out,
that the Eternal God sees us as we will become,
and not as we are at present.
I think that most will agree, that this is a very good thing.
I remind you, that where the Eternal God dwells in Eternity,
there is no time and space in that dimension.
Thus what I am saying is reality.
Here we clearly
see what the Eternal God says,
and what He
personally does for each new believer.
No church or man
can change it,
as neither have
access to it in the heavens,
where the reality
is performed.
In the sprit
realm, Christ, the Eternal God, personally carries out the following,
for all his truly
converted believers.
Ezekiel 36:25 ¶ Then will
(1) I sprinkle clean water upon you,
(2) and ye shall be clean: from all
your filthiness, and from all your idols,
(3) will I cleanse you.
Ezekiel 36:26
(4) A new heart also will I give you,
(5) and a new spirit will I put
within you:
(6) and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
(7) and I will give you an
heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:27
(8) And I will put my spirit within you,
(9) and cause you to walk in my
statutes,
(10) and ye shall keep my judgments,
(11) and do them.
You can also see
that you might have had the misfortune,
to be in the care
of an abominable false pastor.
You do not need to
worry, because regardless of what
he has done, the
Eternal God, has personally already done for you.
I have previously
explained that many things on the earth,
are just a shadow
of what takes place in Eternity.
The Temple in the
Wilderness and in Jerusalem,
was a shadow of
the Temple in the heavens.
All that the
earthly Temple contained, was also a shadow
of the heavenly
Temple,
the Ark of the
Covenant, the Candlestick, etc.
Eden was a shadow of the Eden in the heavens.
These are not
just my ideas.
It was as
Lucifer, the supreme creation,
who rebelled and
became our adversary
walked in the
garden of God, Eden in the heavens.
Ezekiel 18:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the
king of Tyrus,
and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum,
full of wisdom,
and perfect in beauty.
Eden
at the time of Adam and Eve had none of these things.
Ezekiel 18:13 Thou
hast been in Eden the garden of God;
every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond,
the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire,
the emerald, and
the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets
and of thy pipes
was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 18:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
and I have set
thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked
up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 18:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day
that thou wast created,
till iniquity was
found in thee.
Ezekiel 18:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst
of thee with
violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane
out of the
mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,
from the midst of
the stones of fire.
Now
we can see that the Temple of God is in the heavens,
and
in the not too distant future, it will be opened for us to see.
For
unbelievers this will be a traumatic affair.
Revelation 16:5 ¶ And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple
of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Revelation 16:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple,
having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded
with golden
girdles.
Revelation 16:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the
seven angels seven golden
vials full of the
wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 16:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the
glory of God,
and from his
power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues
of the seven
angels were fulfilled.
Revelation 17:1 ¶ And I heard a great voice out of the temple
saying to the seven angels,
Go your ways, and
pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
The
throne of Christ is in His heavenly temple,
and
it will be brought to the earth, when He sets up His kingdom
on
the earth.
Revelation 22:1 ¶ And he shewed me a pure river of water of
life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of
the throne of God and of the Lamb.
We have seen,
that there is a precedent for this understanding,
that the real
baptism, and what is associated with it takes place in the heavens.
There is a very
real link between the heavens and the earth,
and what takes
place in either dimension.
Christ was
crucified before the foundation of the earth was laid.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him,
whose names are
not written in the book of life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
Our names were
also written in the book of life at that same time.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend
out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names
were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and
yet is.
The final question is,
is this just a
nice meaningless technical intellectual explanation?
The
answer is absolutely not.
How do I know?
The
answer is a very simple one.
It is only
possible to understand all the teachings,
which I deliver,
for edification of the body of Christ,
if the Holy
Spirit has opened your mind.
Of course you
might need some things explained,
and clarified
further, but that is normal
Be at Peace, continue to grow in
wisdom and knowledge
as our Saviour Jesus Christ
enlightens you.
Do NOT
attend any church at all.
You will find
many documents and videos, on the website,
which will help
you.
I
try to answer all genuine questions,
when
I am contacted.
I repeat the commandments of the Eternal God,
are for all men. It is a gross lie, to claim that they apply
to the Jews. The Eternal God is not a
respecter of persons.
What is good for
one is good for all.
Luke 20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know
that thou sayest
and teachest
rightly, neither acceptest
thou the person of any,
but teachest the
way of God truly:
Romans 2:11 For
there is no respect of persons with God.
I
am not saying that the road is an easy one because it is not.
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it.
Your problems
might not change at all, but how you deal with them will.
Pray and read your bible daily, if at all
possible.
