(Back to the Martyrs)

Globalization in the media, market without tariff barriers, everything is ready for that the checkmate is given, missing only the movement of a single piece: He who coordinate all projects, because without it, nothing be of use all efforts. In the book of the prophet Daniel Chapter 9 and verse 27, says that this world governor will reign by one week (seven years). It also says he will do a concert, or alliance with many (especially with the JEWS), and thus enter the world stage. In half of his reign he'll dishonour it's alliance with an iron hand and will bring about humanity devastations and abominations (he wants to worship - Mt.4).
Today all segments, whether political, religious (ecumenism), or economical contribute to the big event which will come above the humanity (The World Government of Satan).
The Empire that will come, will be represented by a dragon, to be a mixed race picture, depicting a world administration, composed of several nations. It also has seven heads, representing the administration perfect, and even ten horns, which symbolizes all support war-politician who'll receive of those who are tempted by his mistake. This dragon is red, which means blood and war, and principally, will be linked to communism (Revelation 12:3). In Revel. 12:9, we have the revelation of who is the dragon.
We also have in Revel.13: 2 parts that make up the world kingdom that is to arise, these shares, represented by animals that are biblically symbols of former empires, but the peculiarity of this beast (which is a system of world government) is that she has the feet of a bear. Biblically feet represent the command, the subjugation of a situation, the gain, and the bear is the symbol of Russia.
The current European Union is the harbinger of this already acclaimed reign. This Union initially comes with the first horse of Revelation cap. 06, which is the white horse, representing the false peace, then followed by other horses that represent the war, famine and death.
This European Union is the dragon, that will pass his command to the beast, which is the Soviet Union, which, by the way, has already started to show the claws.
Neither wars nor holocaust; nothing compared to the general shedding of blood that in a few decades the world will witness (mat. 24:21).
It then this warning for those who are able to understand. And make it clear that the only way to escape the inevitable government oppressive is only the rapture of the church (II Thes. 2).

(TEACHER TUPIRANI). 

 

I was propelled to the need to continue to talk about this abominable fact, the men who insist on resisting the Scriptures, and continue to lend the mouth to the department of satan.

The first satanic this context was JOHN CALVIN, who thinking was the best, deviated to hell, once thought could interpret the Bible using the texts out of their contexts and, of course, applying them as pretexts, aiming exalt himself.

One time (more or less around 1560), the citizen that I mentioned, whose name I do not think worthy of being remembered, changed completely the appearance of the word predestinação (in the study: BIBLICAL PREDESTINATION, you can check the Bible texts and analyse the truth).  For discover that God is omniscient and knows all things, this hypocritical, that once was true, now, discloses that since God knows the future, then he would have already determined who would be saved or not. Is obvious that this degenerated man never attended a Bible school, because otherwise, any child would have said, that a fact is GOD KNOWS, and another very different is HE DETERMINE.

The killer, whose name bore me, created a court of inquisition, and KILLED several people who don't accept his madness, was more a Nero, Hitler, or a Herod's. How can someone who is said disciple of Christianity want to conquer the world by the sword? Certainly will be just one more to feed the flames of hell.


Well, for history, is here what I have to say on this man, and also to their modern disciples such as "Apostles" and Reverend. Cunning men, who omit, fraudulently, that the Doctrine for the church, is ONLY in MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN.


Well, how is it possible that not all read the same books that I, believe most obvious cite what is possible for all (Bible).

When in Genesis chapter three is said to the man he shouldn't touch in a certain tree, and he does; So, I ask to the wise predestined: This proved or not, that both men as women, had the FREE WILL?

And when the God expelled they from paradise, it is clear that he exerted above them on punishment and judgement, which also in Gn. 3.15 made the first promise of a Savior. What madness! God exercised judgement and punishment on those who had no freedom of choice, that God most unfair!  Adam and Eve should have been defended and played in the face of God the following words: You don't have the right to punish us, because you didn't give us the right of choice (free will). You predestinated us in this error, and want to punish us?

Well, what about the promise of a Savior? I ask for the predestined. Why a Savior (John 3.16) for someone who is already decreed the salvation or condemnation? What redundancy useless.

In order to conclude this matter that make me aversion, I leave some texts that, who knows, may withdraw some of the path of eternal fire.

For what are the commandments, if I have no choice as to follow them or not; For what it is if second the predestined, I can steal, kill (as Calvino), and even rape; and be saved anyway ... So, why commandments?
Why the Scriptures speak of blessing and curse (Deut.28)?

In Ezekiel 18.4, says that the soul that sin, this will die.

In Ezekiel 18.23, The Lord says, that has no pleasure in the death of evil, and he wants it to become converted.

In Ezekiel 18.32 says, I don't have pleasure in the death of anyone, become converted and live. (how someone born predestinated to the hell?).

In Ezekiel 33, we have the final outcome of the doctrine of predestination is the last card satanic within the Temples, for the final destruction of moral values and Christians.  This chapter is the great call to repentance, doctrine that is not detainee to the Old Testament (obvious), but is a universal doctrine, that is, throughout time, genesis until apocalypse, God calls the man to repentance. John the Baptist preached (Matthew 3.8). Jesus preached it (Mark 1.15), and also says to believe in the Gospel, ie Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

I want to finish this brief comment, but more than enough to rid the sincerest of hell, with an instruction simple and logical. There is no doctrine, rule, or commandment to the Church of Jesus Christ, who hasn't been given by himself, because He is the founder and sustentador church, therefore, the rules, after study, have to be found ONLY in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Let me only a few more words, if it is that can bear. This who writes for you have already bowed before the stick and stone, already acendi candles in quarries, daybreak entire beating head for boatman, dove-turns, lock-street and more. can tell me for what I am predestinated?


In apoc 12.11 says that the church won, and shows why won; but I ask: If it won because fought, made an effort(Joshua chapter 1), or because sit back it was resting comfortably in his predestination? Because Apoc. speaks of award? Why Jesus says, who wins will inherits all things? Why order us be faithful until death and preach? 
Just like Elijah and the prophets of baal, I too, am ready to accept ANY CHALLENGE from anyone, at any place or time, to prove that this doctrine is a major weapon of satan. I trust only in the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony. (My challenge is launched).

The predestination means deciding in advance, and applies to the purposes of God included in the election. The election is the choice made by God in Christ, of a people for himself (the real church). The predestination covers what will happen to the people of God (all genuine believers in Christ).

God predestines its elected to be: Called (Rm. 8:30); justified (Rm. 3:24, 8:30); glorified (Rm. 8:30); conformed to the image of the Son (Rm. 8:29) ; Saints and inculpáveis (Ef.1.4); adopted as children (Ef.1.5); redeemed (Ef.1.7); participants of an inheritance (Ef.1.14), for the praise of his glory (Ef.1.12, 1 Father 2:9); participants of the Holy Spirit (Ef.1.13; Gl 3.14), and created in Christ Jesus for good works (Ef.2.10).


The predestination, and the election, refers to the collective body of Christ (the true church), and covers individuals only when included in this body, through the living faith in Jesus Christ (Ef.1.5, 7.13; At. 2 :38-41, 16:31).

SUMMARY: Regarding the election and predestination, we can apply the analogy of a large ship traveling to heaven. God chooses the ship (the church) to be his own ship. Christ is the Captain and pilot of that ship. Everybody that want to be into in that ship, they may do so by living faith in Christ. While still on the ship, accompanying her Captain, will be among the elected, if someone leaves the ship and its captain, will no longer be one of those elected.

The predestinação concerns the fate of the ship and what God prepared for whom it remains. God invites everyone to come on board of the elected ship by Jesus Christ.


As the texts cited in this topic called predestination, it is obvious that the predestination that the Bible presents us with is the predestination IN JESUS CHRIST. That is, Jesus is the door, then, once in Christ, not exist other way for we inherit the glory of God. As this position indisputable, I want, without the least fear solemnly declare that those who have tubort different, also saying that humanity already predestined born, or that there are two seeds, or that we don't have free will, etc. ..., etc. ... There are only children of the devil and slaves of satanás. And before anyone says ... Ah! one can't speak like this of elected of the Lord, let me make it clear that I am speaking of a child of the devil and not a elected of the Lord, because for me elected of the Lord, are those who preach, live, and are willing to die by the Truth, submitting to the Scriptures, not wanting to put itself above them.

OBS.:

1) Lameque demonstrates be bad. However generated Noah (which was good).

2) The flood closed the subject of seed good and bad; because everyone became the seed of Noé.

3) If the daughters-in-law of Noah were fair, as were saved, why the relatives of these women perished?

4) If you were born predestined, what the meaning of Christ dye on the cross? For what we was send to preach the Gospel?

5) Why would a God who has no pleasure in the death of incredulous (Ez. 18 / Ez. 33), and loved the world so (John 3.16), would created someone predestinated to hell?

Well, all this only confirms, that people who believe in the predestination are also to steps toward hell.

Our wonderful theme of work in focus or not presume for a moment, that we go out of the radius of action of the ecclesiastical context, because i'm here for restoration.

At the time we live in can let the use of the word that says: The Son of man came to seek and save what we had lost", because finally we see is the vertiginous fall of the Church, hence, this is our big question: Do you have heard men or demons?

At the conclusion I hope this report is confirming that many, despite sincere heart, Bible in hand, and willingness to give the best for God, are gathering in places where the truth is not God who speaks, but the human spirit of cowardice, and even even the spirit of Satan.

As declarations of the Lord Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, Judas and John when they speak of things concerning the end of time (our time), both agree on a rhetoric, that there would be false teachers and false prophets. It is evident that the Holy Spirit with this inspiration, really wanted to warn about the disaster that occurred within the churches, where men apostatariam the true doctrine, giving heard the doctrines of demons. 

To save time deterei me not to speak of false teachers in this plot, but I will fix me in the term "false prophets", because without exception, we all know that when speaking of the prophets reference will only be applicable within the context of religion, any other context other than religious, will have this title.

The people, though well intentioned, will never achieve a ministry of God; because their minds were indeed, too bombed, both by men as by demons, however, because of such words has left behind a pulpit, such persons not offered any resistance to them, and thus were easily victim, marked never to be what God for such houvera designed.

In Hebrews 13:8 find a declaration that, by the obviousness there would be a need for the same appear in the Scriptures, but by that seems incredible, even appear, men seek deny it. In the title of the reference is evident that since the God is same, is intrinsic which also has not changed, and operates all the things that have already operated in some time, and that continues operating beyond what we ask or think.

In the churchs where occur baptisms of children, men are just talking, and demons applaud. In the churchs which are seeking the ecumenism, siting in the table with other divergent concepts of Christianity, are men preoccupied with himself speaking, and devils are applauding. In places where they say that God does not cure more, are men speaking, and demons applauding.  

In pulpits where fake pastors Freemasons are "ministering" it isn't nor speaking men, it is the devil himself talking for the destruction of lives. 

Allow me to reserve a special paragraph to say that: In pulpits from which carries the spirit of cowardice, saying that Christianity must submit to the laws of the national congress, are only blind and cowardly men speaking, and the demons applauding; because they ( devils) them, are the major makers of the articles of the legislation. 

The pulpits and the mouths malditas and cowardly that encourage the Church to vote, by presenting their notorious candidates, lying when they say that the church needs representatives in the follows government, human mouths are only lent to demons; because in truth the church already has its Laws themselves, and the day on which opens hand of it, left in order to be church. The church already has a Lord, and submit to Him with exclusivity. Jesus Christ NEVER sent to us submit to the laws of men, only said: Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's.

I want finally finish, with the great question alertativa. -- You have heard men or demons? Let me comment on the issue and tell you that as far as the other one, both, can only lead you to destruction and not to triumph, but if you give ear to Christ, you see the glory of God. (Mt.6: 6 / Jr.33: 3 / Jo.5: 39 / Jo.14: 21 ...).

When we talk about real church, we speaks also of true believers, because we are the Church, the Body of Christ. If the church is weak or degenerate, that means us is that we disapproved, lost the direction and we won't see the glory of God.

Who knows of Ecclesiastical History, is well aware of the difference that meant to be a Christian in the first centuries, to the shame what it's means today in the live of so many people who are completely circumvented, taking the name of God in vain, and that never inherit the kingdom of God.

In the early days of the Church say that you're christian is like signing the death sentence, the ideology of reaching the kingdom was quite different, was to become converted to be a fugitive, pursued by the beast of the Roman Empire, was to be a pilgrim and outsider in strange land, it was love the neighbor as yourself and God above all things. The Christians of that time had no promises of housing, new car, be an entrepreneur, and all mercenary as those raised in today ... at last, be Christian, was actually seek the kingdom of God and the justice first, without worrying about other things.


Actualy, in modern "churches", we don't see christian leaders, but truthful hypocrites, that don't act like Jesus taught (make disciples teaching to keep what I have said, Mt. 28.19-20), on the contrary, are true street vendor distributing roses, shoes, belts, salt, oil, soaps, rings, saying being ungidos, doing what Jesus never did. Their disciples are nothing other than blind guided by other blind, and they seem never to have read in the Scriptures, that the idolaters not inherit the kingdom of God; they ignore the BLOOD of the Lamb, and the testimony WORD (Apoc. 12:11).

In ancient times, adentrava to the body of Christ to achieve mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and at last, inherit the salvation (be free of hell). Today, big is a mistake, that people already feel entitled to say: let's put God on the wall, He is my Father, vai He then have to give me what I want... What nonsense!

I take the time to clarify that the only thing that God accepts of us in favour of others, is our PRAYER, as James says that it can greatly in their effects, however, this hypocrisy, to say that you tithe for someone, Or that someone associated in somewhere, this is no more than SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, the result of a diabolical influence moved by mercenaries, behind a pulpit.


ASK: WHERE ARE THE BRAVE WILLING TO LIVING AND DYING FOR CHRIST?

RESPOND: It's AWESOME THAT THE MEN ARE SO COWARDS, THAT THROUGH OF THEIR INDIFFERENCE CONTINUOUS CONDEMNING JESUS CHRIST.

 

JESUS CHRIST GENERATION EMPIRE

Pr. Tupirani - WWW.OGRITODAMEIANOITE.SPACES.LIVE.COM

With all certainty, has a word that translates a expression, and which the Lord God is very pleased this is the faith. Faith means ATTITUDE OF CONFIDENCE, which undertakes what a human being, or that which does not see. It is a voluntary action, brought by Free Will.

God expects that human beings have attitudes consonants rules that he has left on earth (Bible).

According to the theme, observe some biblical passages.

1 - In Hebrews eleven we have the famous gallery of heroes of faith. According to the abundant passages in this chapter, we will see that all the characters had to desprender any action or attitude; this shows that were not inert nor preordained.


In the history of Abraham we find the expression that, had Abraham believe in God, this it was CONFERRED by JUSTICE. Now! How to confer by justice the attitude of someone who has already been preordained, that is; scheduled to agree in accordance with the desired? Which award deserve someone who had no choice in their attitude?


Many are mistaken when they read that God is the author and consumador of our faith. This does NOT mean that God has created the faith in us, but that He has created the means (redemption in the blood of Christ), to develop our faith, because who has faith has it in something or someone. God gives us all conditions to believe, and that is why the Gospel of John, shows that the Holy Spirit  search convince us of sin, justice, and judgement. If it's seeking to convince us, it is clear that we are not preordained. The Holy Spirit works, but the DECISION is our, by our FREE WILL.

2 - In John 3.16 is the salvation for those who believe, not for who is preordained.


3 - Ephesians 2.8 says that we are saved by grace THROUGH THE FAITH. Grace means favour not deserve, or The Sacrificed OF CHRIST for us. Today we don't have to offer the sacrifices required by law, but just us believe that the great and eternal ritual of purification has already been completed in the blood of Christ. When in the sequence is said that this does not come from you, but that is a gift from God, the expression 'this' refers to the great sacrifice, which will establish the time of Grace, which none of us could perform, for full law was met. Jesus said that he didn't come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; didn't cancel, but KEEP (we couldn't), so we are in time of grace, then the Lord Jesus declared that, IF you believe, see the glory of God. (use your Free Will and believe).


4 - Hebrews 11.6 says that without faith and impossible to please God. Now, if I pleased God with my faith, then I disappoint him in the lack of it, but if I had not Free Will, none of the situations would be a reality.


5 - Hebrews 10.38 says that the fair will live of the faith, and if he MOVE BACK, God will not have pleased him.

Let me ask, how can the Bible talks about believe and move back, if I had not FREE WILL.


6 - Matthew 6.30 - Jesus rebuked the small faith. This means they could have had another attitude; had  Free Will, and were not predestined.


7 - Matthew 8.10 - Jesus exalt an attitude of faith, therefore the man had Arbítrio Free.


8 - Matthew 9.22 - More an exaltation to an attitude of faith (once it was free).


9 - In Mt.15.28 Jesus raise the faith, and in Mt.23.23, accuses the men of having neglected the faith. (where is the predestination?)


10 - While I NEVER use the view of the apostles to justify a doctrine, the UNDERSTANDING of Paul in Rm. 3.28 and Rm.5.1, also is that justification is EXCLUSIVE by faith.

There are hundreds of biblical passages that emphasize faith and free will, to the detriment at predestination, but logically I don't have time to expose them.

Jesus said, to we go around the world and preach the Gospel, and until we prove the contrary, Gospel is what he had already spoken and taught the disciples, therefore, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, the Gospel that was prophesied, or better , Seen by EZEQUIEL in his vision stormy. Let me just one more lesson. The Gospel is composed of four books, because the number four represents the cardinal points, and refers to a situation which will cover the entire earth. Any rule or doctrine for the church, only have reason to be, if it comes by the lips of the Lord Jesus, because He is the founder of the Church, and don't give permission for anyone to manage his house creating standards, but by subjecting themselves the rule pre-set. Any rule or regulation that is based only on other parts of the Scriptures, CERTAINLY is heretical.

I finish saying that when Paul speaks in Ephesians, which God has predestinated us, he says IN JESUS CHRIST. That is, once in Christ, only remains us be saved, because Jesus is the door, who enter By Him, will leave and find pasture. Porting Paul don't says simply predestinated, but predestinated IN JESUS CHRIST, and he even at 5.17 Col. II, says that if someone ARE IN CHRIST WILL BE NEW CREATURE.

Preferring death before the predestination, I finish, wishing everyone the remission in the washing of the blood of Christ (Apoc. 22.14).

We evangelicals are deep knowledgeable of the terrible sources that arrest the people. In Isaiah 61 is described our anointing, and it is said that it would be to break free the captives, proclaim opening of prison to prisoners; and in fact we could talk countless pages, if we want expose all sources of aprisionamentos existing in a world that lies in malignant.

Seeking to have the word as updated as possible, we will speak of what for many is not yet understood, and that is within the context of our ministry, which is catering, of course, who donates to hurt.

Some very smart people, realizing the fragility of the people and desire to receive a relief from this world, where the accounts are higher than wages, and seeking support the same traditional currents that always destroyed life; because they saw in the Catholic prostitute that those traditions incredibly work, made a modernisation of tools, replacing the external clothes, but internally nothing more than prey and rot. 

The people are terribly trapped by idolatry, and don't realize its chains, do not worry about the cry for independence, accepting be only colony of exploitation. 

There are aprisionadas lives in idolatrias call IPDA, where one day is the campaign, another day is the special offer, in the other's offer holy supper, in another is the offer of the campaing of the end of the year, another day is the special offer to sign the book of silver, in the other, signing the book of gold, voting, etc., etc. ... And the people are going deceived of idolatry into idolatry, and do not realize they are prisoners.

In another prostitute called Universal Church of the Kingdom of God is the same thing. One day is the idolatry of the water of the Jordan River, the other is the flow of family, in another entrepreneur's campaign, in the other, the current alliance with God, the other is the tape of decimate, the other is the pink, the other is the bull of Gideon, in order, all such idolatrias which exclude the word of God and blood of Christ (Apoc. 12 : 11), are circumventing the daily lives, who do not realize they are trapped by ignorance.

In another Babylon called International Church of Grace of God all these things happen, and yet some others. However, I mention a few, if not an entire day won't be enough.

In the latter Babylonia, I heard on television that a disciple of Satan that would distribute the soap to wash the soul, this nor in the black magic that has been said. What nonsense! But if you think that isn't enough, so read.

In the latter antrum of prostitution they made a campaign, which was distributed logically an envelope to put money, as always. After the distribution of the envelope was said that each should get three beans and plant it somewhere, borned the pod, the person should open it, pick the beans and count the number of seed,the number of the seeds that is what God multiplicaria the bid that was put on the envelope. And there? Are or not true and holy children of the devil, and inventors of lies? 

These same slaves of Satan distributed the holy eyewash to have spiritual vision.

All these types of idolatry are imprisoning lives for years, that don't realize that they are slaves.

In the same house of prostitution spiritual, the servants of the devil once taught that, if it should take a role, write the request, then tear the roles and put inside a bottle with water and shake well, because according to worshipers of satan, all the demons caused such problems would be trapped inside the bottle, so then, the bottle could not be opened, should be taken to the "church" because otherwise the church won't be responsible.

Have people who called this rubbish of Church , and the whitewashed tombs of men of God.

There are really a lot to be said, but for those who have sincere heart these reports are more than enough. Has more, I can present people a day were slaves, aprisionadas by these idolatrias, but which now are really free by Jesus of the Bible. 

For those who see these reports very strong and shocking, I remember that the Word of God says that we should not talk about christ of the Lord, well, this means that if tomorrow I'm standing, means that they are not ungidos of the Lord, but worshipers of Satan. My challenge is launched.

For make clear about what I think those organizations, let me report: San antrum of prostitution, source of idolatry, synagogue of satan, and inventors of lies.

 Those who say serve the God of the Bible, I leave my challenge, to come into their rooms, close the door and speak with God (Mt.6: 6), and we'll see if they will not receive revelations as I do.

(PASTOR TUPIRANI).  

Unfortunately, I have to continue to be redundant, since people are also about the lack of knowledge, which makes them perish (Os. 4.6).

Lamentable as people call themselves disciples of Christ, however, insist on having attitudes, for which he never shared. What is happening with these people, does not read Bible?

The Scripture reveals in 1st John, that who says be with Him, must walk as He also walked.


The lack of study is so very hard that, a uncountable crowd, not yet realized, when a biblical rule must pass a dispensation to another. Don't they know what is a dispensation? Haven't they read Galatians?


There are many dispensações, however we can arrest the  three mains, that is, Law (before Christ), The Grace (don't deserved favour, the sacrifice of Christ) and the Millennium (personal reign of Christ).


First, the sacrifices and self justification of Law, can not take part in Grace. Then, many food of Grace, will not form part of the Millennium. This is a little difference among a multitude of facts, just to prove that there is difference in the times in which God deals with humanity. So we have called the Bible, Old Testament, or Alliance, and New Testament, or Alliance, and when Jesus celebrated the Passover said, this is the New Testament in my blood. While it is the New, then the Old with its rules, has become obsolete.

And absolutely know that each dispensation has its own rules, and this fact is indisputable. You can't be Christian, keeping the Jewish rituals. The Jewish rituals are only for Jewish. Soon, will appear a stupid Church wanting to celebrate Easter; isn't enough the oppression of a meaningless ritual called supper, where thousands of lives are slaves, including, can have supper only after passing the office and leave the tithe, removing such a card, blue or yellow, depending on the month in question, so  can participate in the supper. There is slavery of a people without understanding.


Well, all these Jewish rituals were for a long time the great struggle of the apostle Paul, which reached a point of saying that if you leave circumcise you don't have  part with God, ye of Grace dropped. He also writes in Galatians, saying that if the justice come the law, it follows that Christ died for nothing (Gl.3.10-14 / 5.2-4).


The reason why I hold to write this article, is because so many absurdities are being defended by a group called the adventists (whose people show my affection and respect, but about their doctrines, I want to make it explicit, my deepest aversion). These until then, brothers, never realized that the "keep the Saturday" is SPECIFIC to Israel, for the descendants of Jacob (to whom the Lord Jesus changed the name). This is clear in Exodus 31.16,17, says that this episode be a perpetual memorial for them (Israel).


Another factor that is very logical, is what shows that Christians are the disciples of Christ, and a disciple is one who walks on the words and actions of his master, that is, if I am a disciple of Christ, I must go and act as he has given me an example. Examining abundant biblical passages we see that Jesus hasn’t shown any reverence on the Saturday, violated it in every sense, even saying that the Sabbath was created for man and not man for the Sabbath, also called hypocrites when the guardians of Saturday .

From Jesus Christ, is not found in the Scriptures, any word advising to save the Saturday; Christ removed the Sabbath. None of the apostles in their education either by letters or epistolas, never mentioned the custody of Saturday.


To finished the subject, simply saying that a disciple must go as his master, and thus, just a simple reading of the verses that follow, for any individual, who don't want to let the madness of custody of Saturday, be in rebellion ahead of the word; us Christians do not have special days, all our days should be to praise and glory of the name of the Lord.

Texts.

Matthew 12.1 - 14 / Luke 13.10 - 17; 14.1 - 6 / John 5.1 - 18; 7.14 - 24; 9.13 - 17.

Against facts there is no argument.

1º) – HOW THE BIBLE CAME TO US:  At first, the sacred history and the prophecies were orally transmitted, by the patriarchs or householders that, passed from generation to generation all their knowledge they had about God, their experiences and revelation (Gen.18:19; - Deut.6:6-9). With the civilization development, became necessary to create graphic symbols that transmit the ideas to be sent to bigger distances.

Firstly appeared the ideographic or pictographic writing. An example known still today are the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians – (4000 years B.C.). Subsequently, around 2000 B.C. the Phoenicians established a cuneiform or wedge-shaped writing, giving rise to what today we call the alphabet.

 

2º) –USED MATERIALS: At first, the oldest used Stone, ceramics, pointers, stylets, etc. – (4000  BC) . Later appeared others materials, which we discuss below:

 

A) – THE PAPYRUS: It was discovered in Egypt around 3000 years B.C. It is a kind of bast, taken from an aquatic plant also called of bulrush, existing on the Nile River shores. This material, after prepared, formed a roll that is much mentioned in the Bible: (Ps. 40:7;  Jer.36:2,14-15;  Is.18:2;  Job 8:11). It was written with birds feathers and vegetal charcoal ink.

 

B) – THE SCROLL:  It was discovered around 1700  BC by the Egyptians and Babylonians. It was made from skins of animals and was more durable than the papyrus. Appears in the Bible in 2 Tim.4: 13. However, the original texts of the New Testament were written on rolls of papyrus, except some Epistles. 

C) – THE PAPER:  The word paper is derived from PAPYRUS. It appeared in China Century II AC and was extracted from plant fibers. In 1436 AC Gutemberg discovered the press and, from 1792 AC with the improvement of paper and the press, began the marketing of the paper for the whole world. This made it easier to print the Bible.

 

3º) – THE BIBLE COMPOSITION:

 

            The Bible is composed of 66 books, since Genesis to Revelation, and it is divided into two main parts:

OLD TESTAMENT and NEW TESTAMENT:  The Old Testament is composed of 39 books and the New Testament, 27. Each book is divided into 'chapters' which are the big numbers, and each chapter is divided into ‘verses’, which are the small numbers.

On evangelical translations, both the chapters numbers and also the verses are located in the left margin of the pages, and in plumbed lines. Ex., see Bible.

 

 

 

 

 

A)        – ABBREVIATIONS:  At the beginning of the Old Testament as well as at the beginning of the New, you will find an index with the name of all books of Bible in words and also abbreviated. Ex.: John = Jn., Genesis = Gen., Exodus = Ex., Psalms = Ps.

-Matthew = Mt.  Job = Job, Apocalypse = Apoc. 1º Corinthians = 1º Cor., Ephesians = Eph., etc.

 

REFERENCES: We give the name of reference when a lesson we quoted several texts. Examples: 1.2 = Ps. Psalm 1 verse 2; Apoc. 1.1-3 = chapter.1 Revelation verses 1 to 3, Jn. = John 8.36,31-32 chapter. 8 verses 36 and 31 to 32. NOTE: 2 Jn. 3 Jn. Jude has only one chapter. Each, are the exceptions. In this case, we only quote the verses. Example: 3 Jn. 3-5 = third John verse 3 to 5, etc.

 

C)         - SOME TITLES OF THE BIBLE

         Scriptures or Holy Scriptures: Mt 21:42, Rom. 1.2 Word of God: Mk. 7:13, Heb. 4:13, Heb. 4.12 - Book of the Lord: Isaiah 34.16 - Law of God: Rom.3.21; Ps. 1.1-2, Joshua 1.8-9.
 

4º)       _ AUTHOR AND WRITERS OF THE BIBLE: It’s better to distinguish author of writer. Author is one who has the idea, inspiration or invention of the work. Writer is the only one who writes what the author has determined. There are cases in which the author is also the writer, but in the Bible’s case the author who is God only wrote the Ten Commandments with his finger on tables of stone and the middle of the fire - (Deut. 9:10; 10.4, Ex 20.1-17).
 

A)  THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE IS GOD: Because no human being could be the author of such work that even the heaven makes us know. The Bible records things that are previous from the creation of the world and of man and announces all that will happen until the end of the world. In the Bible we find all we need for both material and spiritual life. Here are some examples and texts that prove that the Bible is the Word of God and that God is the author, because He remains in heaven: Ps. 119.89; Isaiah 53 describes the lives of Jesus, his death for us and even the type of his grave. It teaches that were the sins of believers that crucified Jesus on the cross and that He carried on himself, and this 750 BC Ps. 2.7 one thousand years BC. and Isa. 7:14, 750 BC say that Jesus would be created by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Ps. 22.7-18 one thousand years BC records the crucifixion of Jesus describing every detail of that scene. The verses 16 and 18 say: “They have pierced my hands and my feet. They divided my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.” All this teaches that God inspired the prophets to write these things, because no man could register such events of 700 thousand years before they happen with such precision of detail. 2 Tim 3:16 and 2 Pet. 1.20-21 say that no part of Holy Scripture is of human interpretation, but God inspired the prophets to write it. See Ps. 119.33-40; 97-104.
 

B) THE WRITERS OF THE BIBLE: The Bible was written by about 40 people inspired by God, of different social classes. From cowboy such as Amos, statesman as Daniel, and kings as David and Solomon, in a period of approximately 1600 years (of course that there were several intervals). However, all 66 books keep a perfect harmony between them in all their teachings. Ps. 119:140.

5º)       THE BIBLE AS A BOOK: The word Bible comes from the Greek, Biblion, which means: set of books or library. The Bible is the Word of God revealed to men. It is one of the oldest books, the best-seller, most read and the most important in all times and in all the world. It is translated into more than 1800 languages and dialects. The Bible teaches everything that each person needs to be happy in this world. Here are some teachings: Marriage life, children and parents, parents and children, see Eph. 5.22-33, 6.1-4. Employees and employers Eph. 6.5-9. Mt 25.14-30 savings, inflation Haggai 1.5-11; 2. 16-19. etc. The main message of the Bible is that the most important issue is to reveal the person of Jesus Christ as the only one who has power to save. Only Jesus saves, heals, liberates and baptizes with the Holy Spirit. About Salvation we are going to study in the following lessons. Jn. 5.24. Finally, we say that the Bible reveals God to men, reveals how we can be saved by Jesus Christ and reveals man to himself. Only through the Bible we really know ourselves. God bless you.

INTRODUCTION: We are beginning the study of a series of lessons about the basic salvation doctrines. We are going to study about the repentance which is the starting point for all who want to be saved by Jesus Christ.

1°)  REPENTANCE DEFINITION: Repentance is the recognition that we are sinners. We fail, we wrong, we are poor and need the Mercy of God. It is the predisposition not to sin anymore and to fight to overcome the weaknesses and temptations of our flesh. It is humiliating ourselves to the Lord feet, begging mercy and forgiveness. It is to turn around, leaving the path of sin in which we lived, and passing to live the way of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s better to note that repentance and remorse are different things. The remorse is the person knows that was wrong but not wanting to leave the mistake. It’s not to recognize that it should have been avoided. The person is ready to err and will it. This was the case of Jude (Mt 27.3-5).

Remorse: 1 – conscience anguish by guilt or crime.
Repentance: 1- Regret mistakes.
                     2- Change of opinion.
The true repentance which operates in us the forgiveness and salvation comes from God. It makes us feel sorrow because we have sinned. It gives us the desire not to sin anymore and happiness for we are saved (2 Cor 7.9-10 Acts 3:19).
 

2°)  THE need of repentance: The Repentance is the first need of all who want to be saved. There is no forgiveness without repentance and without forgiveness there is no salvation. Here is what the Bible says: Rom 3:23, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:12, " They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. " Ecc. 7:20,"For there is not a just man upon earth…” By the Texts quoted we learned that all people are sinners. Isaiah 64.6 says that our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and Isaiah 59.1 and 2 says that our iniquities have separated between you and your God. Therefore, it is clear the need of repentance to receive the forgiveness and salvation (Acts 2nd 37-38).

 

3º)  HOW THE REPENTANCE OCCURS: When someone hears the preaching of the Gospel the Holy Spirit convinces him of sin, justice and the judge (John 16.7 to 11). The person is convinced and receives understanding when hears the preaching or reads the gospel. If the person closes his heart and don’t accept, she will still lost and under condemnation. However, accepting Jesus Christ as only Savior and Lord, God works on the person the repentance (Acts 11:18, 12:3, Tim. 2.25) such person receiving the forgiveness and salvation. The doctrine of repentance is so important, that the beginning of the ministry of John Baptist and even Jesus were signed by strong preaching of the need of repentance (Mt 3rd 1-2, 4.17). The sincere repentance operates in three main areas of life.

a)      INTELLECT OR MIND: The person will pass to have a different understanding of all sins involving his past life. Then discovered that by repentance, receives forgiveness and salvation.

b)      EMOTIONS: The person starts to feel sorrow for sinning, and then receives happiness for don’t live sinning and knows that she is already saved.

c)    WILL AND DISPOSITION: The person is moved to live according to the God’s will and is available to serve Him and love Him. This sincere repentance is done by confess their sins to God (Ps. 32.5, I John 1.8 to 10), leave them (Prov. 28.13 Isaiah 55.7) and to turn to God (I Thess. 1.9).

4º)  REPENTANCE FEATURES: By the following features any person can know if he has already tried or not the true repentance. Occurs on the sorry person a change of thinking in relation to God, to her next and to her sins. The repentance condemns today which approved before. The repentance passes to see things through God’s eyes. It passes to love and admire all the things God has created, in the whole work of creation, discover the power and glory of God (Ps. 19 sal.8) Before repentance the person wants to do her own will and direct her own path, however, after repent herself, she wants to do the will of God and by Him she wants to be led. Before repent herself, search to hide her sins and to justify to herself (Lk. 16.15 Mt. 23.27-28). After the sincere repentance she promoves a sincere effort to leave the sin and creates the disposition to follow Jesus. The repentance abandons the whole idolatry in which it was supported before and believe only in Jeus Christ.

 

5º)  RESULT OF REPENTANCE: It is better to remember that no one deserves neither forgiveness nor salvation, but God forgives and saves for free and by grace, to everyone who repent and believe by faith in Jesus Christ as only Savior and Lord. Therefore, repentance creates a saving faith and thereafter, opens to ourselves all the doors to all the blessings of the Gospel.
Our repentance gives great happiness among the angels of God in heaven (Lk. 15.7-10), knocks down the barrier of sin and gives us communion with God. In the beginning the repentance occurs for salvation and remains in zeal for purification. The believer after saved can still sin. He should soon repent, ask forgiveness to God and then will be purified by the power of Jesus’ blood (I Jn. 1.7). The result of repentance is the forgiveness, salvation and the abundant blessings of God.

 

CONCLUSION

 

A) The Repentance is the imperative necessity. Everyone is sinner and without repentance there is no forgiveness and salvation.

B) The Repentance occurs by the work of the Holy Spirit when we read or hear the preaching of the Gospel and we accept by the whole heart Christ and his sacrifice for us.

C) The sorry person discovers that is saved and now is a new creature (2 Cor 5:17) by the new features involving the whole being. D) To God, our sins after forgiven are as if they had never existed. The result of repentance is forgiveness, salvation and the abundant blessings of God.

INTRODUCTION: In the previous lesson we studied about repentance. In the previous study lesson on repentance. Today we are going to study about faith and conversion. This is one of the most important studies within the plan of God for salvation. 

1º) -     FAITH DEFINITION:  The better definition of the word faith, in the biblical sense is in Heb. 11.1 which says: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is something invisible, but sensitive. It's like a rock in which we support ourselves in this life and especially in eternity. This rock is Jesus Christ. Faith means believing and trusting in God and His word. We believe that Jesus saves us by His death on the cross. (Rom. 10.2-4), (Nah 1:7)

2ª) -    FAITH VALUE:  It’s related to the value in what it is based or supports itself. Everyone has the ability to put faith in something. For example, trust in wealth, in man, friends, in the good works, in charity. Thinking that will be saved because doesn’t hurt anyone, doesn’t kill, doesn’t steal etc, or trust on the images of saints, fingers crossed, talisman and other superstitions. If someone has faith in some of these visible material things, that faith is not worth because all these things perish by the time goes on - (Eph. 2:8-10). When the belief is deposited in the word of God and the trust is in God and Christ, this is the faith that saves (John 5:24 - Heb. 12:2). I Pet.1: 7 tells us the true and the only faith, indestructible and eternal, which is the faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is worth more than all the wealth of the world and it’s the only one who can save. 

3º) -     HOW TO OBTAIN FAITH:  Rom. 10:17: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." When someone reads or hears the preaching of the Gospel and accepts the Holy Spirit of God makes raise the saving faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Acts 4.4 says that almost five thousand people heard, believed and were saved. The faith is obtained by the desire to know more of God (I Pet. 2.2), by study and meditation of the Bible (Joshua 1:8, 9 - Psalm 1:1, 2), by obeying and keeping the biblical teachings (Apoc. 1:3) and to serve Christ (Heb. 5:12, 14). The faith begins in the conversion and should grow on the day-today of our lives (II Thess. 1.3, Jude 20), growing until the stature of the perfect man (Ephesians 4:12, 13). With the faith growing between us, also increases the certainty, security, the Christ’s light and life. Those who look for knowledge of God, by faith, reach the broader knowledge, deep and perfect.

4º) –    THE ACTION OF FAITH ON US:  The faith that saves by Jesus Christ makes us understand that the Bible is the Bible is the word of God and to those who do not believe there is a conviction. The Faith involves the three faculties of the person which are: intellect, emotions and will. Our intellect believes in the truths of the Gospel, even condemning our past way of life.
Our emotional side trusts on those truths and find pleasure in them. Our will accept them and dispose itself to do the God’s will. The sense of the word believe, that is the faith’s fruit as in John 3:16, is to lie or to support itself on a strong foundation uniting the person who believes to the object of his faith, which is Jesus Christ.

5º) -     HOW THE FAITH SAVES US: Faith is the substance (Heb. 11.1) of the temple of our spiritual lives (II Pet. 1:5, 7), Jesus saves us by grace (please do not deserved). It’s not enough to know that Jesus is the Savior, but you must appropriate yourself of Christ and the salvation He offers us. Faith leads our soul to rest in Christ, but we must believe that were our sins which crucified Jesus on the Calvary Cross. He carried them on Him (Is. 53: 4-6) by love to us, to save us and get us rid of the condemnation of hell. Jesus suffered for us what we should suffer.
Who believe on it will be saved. This is how the faith saves. Jesus saves alone (by faith). All the credit and glory of faith and salvation belongs to God because it was given by God (Isa.42: 8 - Rom.11: 36).

6º) -        RESULT OF FAITH

A)            SALVATION: The first result of faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice is the salvation. Hereafter, faith encourages us to conversion. (Process that will reach all the areas of our life).

B)            INNER CONVERSION (concepts): Convert means changing of direction. Conversion involves repentance and faith, the operation of the Holy Spirit, our acceptance and participation. It consists on leaving sin and follow Jesus. By converting the person will be transformed in resemblance with Christ (I John 3:2-3 - Ps. 51:10).
Repentance must be repeated every single time someone sins and turn away from God. The person must repent, abandon sin and close to God (I John 1.7).

C)               EXTERIOR CONVERSION ( witness): The conversion is observed in the human side - (external) of salvation. A person who presented extreme in their attitudes, must now submit moderation - (Acts 3:19). This is the testimony.
She now hates the things which loved before and loves the things of God which neglected or didn’t know before. This is a signal to everyone that this person is converted to Jesus and God changed his heart (Ez. 36:36).

D)                CONVERSION OF IDOLS: I Thess. 1:9 says that believers converted themselves of idols to God. Idols in the Bible are not only images of saints, fingers crossed, talisman, saints and things like these that have some spiritual connection and take the place of God in our heart. Ex 20:1-6 God banned making images, banned to believe and love them. In Deut. 7.25-26; 27:15 God imposes to break and destroy everything that is image, saying that is curse. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible condemns all sorts of images and idolatry, which is the belief, worship, venerate or have respect for them. Here are some other texts that discuss this: Ps. 97:7, Isa.42: 8, Ps.115:4-8, Isa.44:9-20, 45:16, 20, 46:5-10, I Cor.10:14-21, 28, II Cor.6:14-18, I John 5:21, Apoc.2: 14.20; 9:20, 21, 21:8, 22:15. There are many other texts that speak the same thing.

Note.: Idolatry is not only an image, but somehow all that we apply any devotion, for example: one ROSE that we say to be anointed, a piece of clothing, or any other object made by human hands, which we devote some trust and not only the Word of God (the only mediator between us and God, is Jesus Christ man, Act.4: 12).
Note.: The largest source of idolatry in Brazilian society is called IURD.

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

 

A)           ABOUT CONVERSION: Acts 3:19 tells us to convert ourselves. I Thess. 1.9 shows the people converted. Once we know the truth will only remain the conversion, or be condemned. (Jer. 31.18-19 - Lam. 5:21).

B)           ABOUT FAITH

n The Faith in Jesus Christ gives us salvation and eternal security.

 

n The Faith in Jesus Christ is worth more than the whole wealth of the world.

 

n The Faith is acquired by reading, meditating and / or hear the word of God.

n The Faith is the foundation of our spiritual life. Acts on the intellect, on emotions and will make us servants of God.

 n The Faith promotes the conversion to Christ making us frees from the world and sin.
 

n The faith in prayer, without doubt, gives us victory and makes us blessings to others.

 
n Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6).

n Then, serve God with faith. (God bless you richly, Amen)

1º)       DEFINITION OF FORGIVENESS AND JUSTIFICATION

Forgiveness is the divine act of erasing our sins. Sin is any attitude, or works against the God’s will. It is, in short, disobedience of the rules that God established for us in His word. Therefore, forgiveness is divine mean to make null our sins. Justification is a step taken by God to declare us justified in Christ Jesus for all time. When we believe in Jesus by faith that is enough to God justify us, attributing to us the righteousness of Christ.
Attention: No one sins in thought (Jas.: 1:12 - 15).

2º)       THE NEED OF FORGIVENESS: All needs forgiveness because we are all sinners. Rom. 3:23 says: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”Rom. 3:12 says: “All have turned away, they have together become worthless.” Ecc. 7:20 says: “There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.”So, it’s clear the need of forgiveness. All are sinners and without forgiveness there is no salvation.
 

3º)      HOW THE FORGIVENESS OCCURS: To have forgiveness there must be repentance. Repentance means recognizing that we are sinners, we wrong and fail, also involving an effort to abandon the sin - (Prov. 28:13). Sin acts in three directions: against God, against our next and against ourselves. Also, forgiveness works in three directions: we need the God’s forgiveness, we need to forgive our next and ourselves. The text of Mark 11:25-26 tells us of two directions of forgiveness. God forgives us only if we forgive our next and ourselves. Matthew 18:21-22 and 6:12-14 recommended forgiving seventy times seven. This means to always forgive. This is how God wants us to do and then He will do with the same for us. The third direction is to forgive ourselves. There are people who have suffered trauma or were involved in such gross and evil sins, that even after they believed in Jesus and be forgiven and saved, still live oppressed by the remembrance of the past things.
Let’s see what the Bible says in 2 Cor 5:17: " Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new."Isa. 1:18; Isa.43: 25 and Jer. 31:34 say: “I will remember their sins no more. Even they are red like crimson, they will become white as wool.”If God has forgiven and remember them no more, why are we still remembering and carrying the weight of them? Forgive yourself. 1 John 3:20 says: "If our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart."John 8:32, 36 say:" And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "1 John 1:7 says:" the blood of Jesus Christ cleans us from all sin."

4º)       THE NEED OF JUSTIFICATION: The justification is one of the most important salvation doctrines. Without the justification there would be no salvation. Therefore, salvation is the target which leads the repentance, the faith, the forgiveness and the regeneration. The forgiveness erases the sins but cannot undo the evil they caused. Therefore, God has the justification to cover all these evils. The justification is necessary for the believer has absolutely sure that he is safe, secure, accepted by God and to create a relationship of father to son and of son to father between the believer and God.
The justification promotes in us a change of position. Of sinners, ire’s sons and convicted, we become God's sons, younger brothers of Jesus and heaven’s citizens - (John 1:11-12; Phil. 3:20-21). The justification and salvation are only by grace (Rom. 4:4-7, 3:20, 28, Eph. 2:8-9), and only by Jesus (Acts 4:12).

 

JUSTIFICATION CHARACTERISTICS

 

A)    IT WAS CONQUERED BY JEUS: Christ "wore our sins on Calvary so that we could wear ourselves of His justice. It was made for us the God’s righteousness (1 Cor 1:30). Jesus conquered the justification for us on the Calvary cross. God the just, says that can justify the unjust man without practicing injustice and make him fair for all time. God doesn’t make a fair man just to declare him justified, but declare him justified by the Jesus’ sacrifice. (Rom. 5.1) "Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies."(Rom. 8.33). No judge on earth can justify the unfair without practicing injustice. But God can keep Himself fair, at the same time He justify the unfair, because all the punishment of the unfair was launched by God on Jesus. Rom. 3.25-26 say that God is fair and justifying of who that has faith in Jesus. The law condemns the grace justified. The law says, pays everything. But grace says: everything is paid. The justification removes from us the two dangers: the pride of self justice and self effort (as fast) and fear that we are too weak to achieve salvation.

B) IT IS IMPUTED BY GOD:  Impute means to take to someone’s care the consequences of the act of another. The consequences of our sins were taken to the care of Christ on the Calvary cross (Isa. 53:4-6) and the consequences of obedience to Christ were brought to the believer’s care to give it justification. The justification is the maximum seal that ensures salvation for eternity. It is a gift from God. But this Gift has to be accepted. We accept when we believe in Christ and then we appropriate of Him by faith. Therefore, we receive the justification which is notified to us in regeneration. Justification means much more than to be acquitted. God treats us as if we had never sinned. Everything happens by faith in Christ, in His Word, in His promises and on His salvation. Faith is, so to speak, the hand that receives all which God offers (Rom. 3:22, 5:1-2). In the justification doesn’t occur in us any change. The inner spiritual transformation that follows us is called regeneration and is operated by the Holy Spirit. The Christ that is for us then becomes Christ in us. The justification is by the blood of Jesus and by His grace - (Rom. 3:28, 24, 5:9). Therefore, a divine act. It’s granted when we are saved by accepting Jesus Christ by faith. Our faith in Christ is imputed on us as justice (Rom. 4:15).

CONCLUSION

 

n We must seek the forgiveness of our sins, also forgiving the others and ourselves, and the blood of Christ will purify us from all sin (1 John 1:7)

n All had the need of justification. Jesus won it on the Calvary cross.

n When we believe in Christ by faith, God declares us justified and saved for all time, imputing ourselves on the righteousness of Christ.

 

INTRODUCTION:  The regeneration and adoption (affiliation), is a doctrine of great importance because, through it, we understand clearly that we are already part of the God’s family. We are heirs of God and co-heirs of Christ (Rom. 8.14-17) and we have guaranteed our place in heaven for ever (John 14: 2-3).

1º         A NECESSIDADE DE REGENERAÇÃO:  Regenerate is to recover or to restore something that was good and degenerated, was ruined, was contaminated or damaged. When God created Adam and Eve they were holy, pure and without sin. They were children of God. But Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sinned, degenerated themselves and became children of disobedience and ire. Thenceforth, all generations inherited all of it and all sorts of evils whose root is sin (Rom. 3:23). Therefore, became necessary the intervention of the great love of God in Jesus Christ so that the man was reclaimed and restored to the previous condition, to which God has created. (Gen 3:15)

 2º         HOW REGENERATION OCCURS: Regeneration, as well the adoption and affiliation, started when we repent, believed and accepted Jesus and then we were saved. Our salvation in Christ is called the new birth (spiritual) John 3:3-7. This text has nothing to do with baptism in water. Examining all the following texts: Titus 3:5, Eph 5:26 and John 15:3, we understand that this water is the word of God, which appears here in figured language. In regeneration we were born again, receive a new life and are generated again by the Holy Spirit through the generator and purifier power of the God’s Word (1 Pet. 1:23, Titus 3:5). The Holy Spirit creates or makes to rise in our spirit a new life, a new creature (2 Cor 5:17 / Eph. 2:1). We pass to have the life and nature of God in us (2 Pet. 1:4). Who wasn’t born again cannot be regenerated and therefore will keep lost. The human mind lives so cauterized by sin, which can only understand the truth of God's salvation borning again. Nobody can regenerate itself. The human nature can generates the human nature, but only the Holy Spirit of God can awaken the spiritual nature that we all need to enter in the God’s kingdom. This is the new birth. This is called regeneration.

3º)   REGENERATION CHARACTERISTICS

A)        IS A DIVINE ACT:   Regeneration is the divine act that gives to the person who believes a new and highest life through the personal union with Christ, returning still in this life, a condition that was about the life of Adam and Eve before the sin and a higher condition after this life in the glory of heaven (Phil. 3:20-21). In Jesus Christ, the man, is recreated to that condition which God has idealized before the beginning. He returns to be the image and resemblance of God. (Eph. 2:1).

 B)-       TRANSFORMS ALL IN US: Regeneration is a radical change made in us by the Holy Spirit. The natural man keeps alive to the sin, the flesh, for the world, but dead to God (Rom. 6.11-13). The Regeneration is an experience more profound than that of repentance. Even the foundation of personality is transformed. It’s like receiving new conscience, new character, new thoughts, new wills, finally, everything is transformed within us. That is why they say we resurrect with Christ. Occurs a spiritual resurrection (Col. 3:1-4). (Don’t confound with the resurrection of the body that will be after the death in the entrance). We pass to think with the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2nd:14-16).

 4º)       ADOPTION AND AFFILIATION: Adoption means put in the position of the son who wasn’t son, so that the adopted has the same rights and privileges of children generated legitimately.

 THE SATRT OF ADOPTION AND AFFLIATION: It started when we repent, we believe in Christ by faith and were saved. At that time we were forgiven, justified, regenerated, and adopted as children of God. If someone adopts a child as a son, this child will have the same rights and privileges of the legitimate children, but will be able to enjoy them only when reach majority. But God has done for us more than that. By the redemptive work of Chris, regenerated us and adopted as legitimate adult children, generated by the His Word (Gal. 4:1-7, 3:26; I Pet. 1:23). Then we are children of God and brother of Jesus Christ (Heb. 2:11-12). We are adult children of God, because only adults can have dominion over the property of the family. Besides salvation, Jesus has given us lots of goods of God. Examples: "Will do the same works which I do and even bigger than these" (John 14:12). Has given us the power to expel demons and heal sick (Mt 10:1, 8). Power to be witnesses of Jesus (Acts 1:8). Has given us the faith that overcomes all the sin and world (I John 5:4).

ADOPTION RESULT: We were ire’s and disobedience’s children (Eph. 2:3, 5:6), but we were born of God and changed of position (John 1:11-13). God has become our true Father. That’s why we were consoled in tribulations (Cor.1 II: 4). We are guided by the Spirit of God (Rom. 8:14) and we are heirs of heaven with Christ (Rom. 8:17). We passed to the position of children of God.

WHEN ADOPTION IS COMPLETED: It will be when Jesus snatches the church. Those who have already died saved will resurrect and we that will still be alive will be transformed (I Thess. 4.13-17). Both that will resurrect as well us that will be transformed, will receive glorious spiritual body (I John 3:2 I Cor 15:42-44). Our body will be "equal" to the current body of Jesus (glorious) (Phil. 3:20-21). So, the salvation work of Christ with the redemption of our body is complete (Rom. 8:22-23). We will also receive, at that time, the plenitude spiritual in all aspects of life.

CONCLUSION

A) The regeneration is necessary to the man be restored to the condition for which God has created him, in order to enter in the kingdom of heaven.

B) The regeneration occurs when we believe and are saved by Jesus and is held by the Holy Spirit that transforms everything in us, through our disposition (Phil.2: 13).

    

C) The regeneration occurs in the adoption (affiliation). We are made adult children of God. Soon, we pass to enjoy the spiritual property and the power of God.

D) The adoption begins in the regeneration when we are saved and will be completed in the resurrection of our body in glory. Our place is guaranteed in heaven (John 14:2-3).

 

1º)       ORATION DEFINITION: Oration is to talk or dialogue. Oration is the mean established by God for the true Christians, have communion with Him. NOTE: The words orate and pray are synonyms, as shown in the Dictionary of the Portuguese language. Oration is alive. It is something that comes out of the soul and of the Christian spirit. Not previously planned or decorated, but sprouts naturally from our inner by the Holy Spirit of God. We don’t think before what we are going to say, but when we call to God, the words flow naturally and suitable for that moment or event. Prayer is the key that opens the heart of God, is the talk of the soul with God, when we open our hearts wreaked our Father in heaven with our anxieties and afflictions. It is the dialogue of the creature with its creator, sometimes asking, other thanking, or praising him and worshiping him.

 2ª)      THE NEED OF ORATION: It is impossible to live the Christian life without prayer. As husband and wife need a constant dialogue to maintain the good family relationship, so the Christian needs to pray and to keep narrowed the spiritual relationship with God. The dialogue is to the material necessity of family as well the prayer is to the material spiritual necessity of the Christian. The Christian who doesn’t pray cannot fall into temptation - (Lk. 22:40) and may suffer many ills - (Lk. 21:34-36). The Bible recommends much prayer. The Lord Jesus spent hours and even whole nights in prayer. It is our greatest example. Prayed on Mount - (Mk. 6:46) and sometimes all night - (Lk. 6.12). In very early morning - (Mk. 1.35) and even in the agony of Gethsemane (Mt 26:36 - 44). The Apostles prayed a lot - (Acts 1:14, 24 - 2:42, 4:31, 6:6, 8:15, 9:11,40, 11:2,9, 11:5, 12:12; 13:3, 14:23). We should pray at all times - (Eph. 6:18). Persevere in prayer - (Col. 4:2). Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17). Every Christian needs to pray because prayer is food for our soul and strength to our lives. When we read or hear the preaching of the Gospel, God speaks to us. When we pray, we speak to God.

 3ª) TO WHOM WE SHOULD PRAY: In the New Testament the Bible teaches us that we should pray to God only in the name of Jesus. We ask God in the name of Jesus, Jesus intercedes for us (Rom. 8:34), God the Father sends the response (John 16:23-24) Attempting, however, that the whole Trinity is involved in our prayers, we should not request in the three names, but only in the name of Jesus. (John 14:13-14,6), 15:16, 16:23-24) in these texts, it’s the proper the Lord Jesus that teaches us to ask the Father in His name. In Eph. 5:20 and Col. 3:17 the Apostle Paul teaches the same thing. 1 Tim 2:5 says “there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (Acts 4:12).

NOTE.: Considering that the Scripture also says that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature, we should think that the principle of prayer in the name of Jesus is not actually mention the phrase "in the name of Jesus", but have a life based on the principles of Christ, and then we can pray to the divinity, as Jesus says, one who has the Son has the Father

4ª)       HOW TO PRAY: We can pray regardless of the body position or the voice. The Bible does not determine a specific position. It should, however, that in our prayers we have in mind the greatness and holiness of God, wishing that comes HIS kingdom and in us be done HIS will, always giving God the honor, glory and power forever, as Jesus taught (Mt . 6:9-13). This is not the literal model, but a spiritual principle. That takes part of those who have the mind of Christ.

A)                 Body Posture: It does not matter.

B)                VOICE POSTURE: It does not matter.

C)                TIME AND PLACE: It does not matter. We should pray at any time and place (1 Tim 2:8). Alone and secretly (Mt 6:6).

D)             FORM OF PRAYER: As in the Word (Mt 6:33).

n     ABSTRACT: We should and we can pray at anytime and anywhere (Eph. 6:18).

1º)            REPLY TO THE PRAYERS: The answer to our prayers can be different: 

A) YES: When it’s according with God's will and is for our good (1 John 5:14, John 14:13-14, Mark. 11:22-24).
B) NO: When is against the will of God (I John 5:14). If it is an ill to us (James 4:3) or if there is sin in us that causes obstruction (1 Pet. 3:7, Eph. 5:22, 25; Is. 59:1-2, Prov. 1:28 -29; 28:9).

 

C) WAIT: When God wants to prove our faith, patience and perseverance or it is not the proper moment to the grant (Col. 4:2, Acts 2:42). God wants much value their blessings.

 
2º)       THE VALUE OF PRAYERS: When our prayers are made without doubting (James 1:6), with faith and in accordance with the will of God are of great value. James 5:16 says that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

NOTE: The word holy means segregation, therefore, sanctification is the same as segregation, then we conclude that sanctify itself is the same that segregate itself as for the divine statutes.

INTRODUCTION: It is of greater importance the study of the sanctification doctrine since it is written that "without sanctification, no one will see God" (Heb. 12:14). Sanctification means to become holy and to be holy means be segregated or consecrated for the exclusive use of God. Since Old Testament the temples, furniture, utensils, etc… are called saints because they were consecrated and separated for the exclusive use of the service of God. What we are studying is the sanctification of people called by God as saints, are already saved by Jesus Christ (Eph. 1.1; Phil. 1:1, Col. 1:2), that is: lives that fulfills the commandments of God. (Psalm. 119:11).
The Bible is the word holy refers to God (Isa. 30:15), to the angels (Apoc. 14:10) and most of the time people saved alive (1 Cor 1:2). It refers also to those who have passed this world saved in heaven because life continues (Ps. 149:5, 1 Thess. 3:13). We understand sanctification in two directions: the first is when, by faith, we believe in Jesus and were saved. God justified us, and has reclaimed and passed to call us holies because looks us saved in Jesus Christ. The second is a continuous and progressive process of spiritual improvement and Christian experience, and in this second sense that we are going to study in this lesson. Within the salvation plan is sanctification that starts in the conversion.

1º)       THE NEED OF SANCTIFICATION: Even once saved, we need the sanctification, which is the exercise to observe the God’s Law, and confronts it with the offerings of the world and the devil. (Mt.4).
Note 1) The term does not become our body does not convert itself, is at least ridiculous and inconsequential because they speak of life without due knowledge (Hos. 4:6). We never can attribute to our body, independent faculty of our soul and spirit. We are not three beings, but only one, yet we have three essences, however we have only a SINGLE CENTRAL DECISION; my body does not act or think independently of the soul and spirit. If I miss, who wronged was me, that is: body, soul and spirit, equally if you take the right decision.

Note: THE FLESH FIGHTS AGAINST THE SPIRIT: (Gal. 5:16-17): This expression, that our flesh fights against our spirit, is a disqualified absurd, you must realize that in Biblical reference Spirit is with capital letters, referring to the Holy Spirit, not to the human spirit. FLESH means natural actions of those who have not had an experience with Christ. 

The Holy Spirit came to convince (John. 16:8), actually the fight is of the Holy Spirit, that was trying to reveal us the truth of Scripture (Rom 10:17).

 

2ª)       OUR PARTICIPATION IN SANCTIFICATION:  
Our participation begins with the desire of sanctification (1 Pet. 2:2), consecration of will that continues through the pre disposition to walk with God (1 Pet. 1:15, 16, 22), separation of the world of sin (Ps. 1:1-3) and consecration of our being to God (Rom. 12:1-2, 2 Cor 6:14, 7:1). Mortify, by the Spirit, all of our sinful desires of our being (Rom. 8:13). Consecrate to God our language, and do not speak bad words (Eph. 4:29), Read Eph. 4:17-32, 5:1-21 and 6:10-18. About the use of language read Jas. 3:5, 6,10. How terrible is our language. Accoutre itself decently (1 Tim 2:9,10, 1 Cor 11:14-15). We need to do a cleaning in our words, changing our vocabulary. Let’s see what Jesus says in Mt 12:34-37: "... by your words you will be condemned or will be justified." Remember that our being is temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:18-20). Let’s know how to own our bodies in sanctification (1 Thess. 4:3-4, 1 John 3:3).

 3º )      GOD’S PARTICIPATION IN SANCTIFICATION: We limit the action of God in our sanctification by the degree of our participation. For God there are no limits or obstacles (Job. 17: l7 - is God who reveals the truth, and it’s to ourselves to follow it).

If we do our part as God wants, looking for our sanctification with humility, prayer, involving ourselves to serve God in this world, then God bless us operating in our spirit, soul and body (from within it to out).

A)               OF JESUS’ BLOOD:  The power of the blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin (1 Jn. 1:7) and operates in our sanctification (Heb. 9: 14, 10:10, 13:12, Eph. 1:6, 7).

B)                 OF GOD’S WORD: The power of the holy word of God is unquestionable. But it only operates on those who are scholars of the Bible (John 17:17, 15:3, 6:63; Ps. 119:9, 11, 105; Eph. 5:26), and yield to it.

C)           OF HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit works with the blood of Jesus and the word of God. It is the power of the holy trinity purifying the believer, so that he will be sanctified in all of his trinity (triuno – in Portuguese) being (spirit, soul and body - 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Thess. 2:13, 1 Cor 6:11, 1 Pet. 1:2, Rom. 15:16). Remember that only God is holy in all of His plenitude (holiness). We are sinners but already saved and received the sanctification that God pours on us. In heaven we will achieve perfection.

4º)       BLESSINGS FROM SANCTIFICATION (1): As greater is the growth in sanctification (1), greater will be our certainty and security of salvation and eternal life with God. Greater will be our understanding of God (Eph. 1:17-19). By sanctification (1) God approach ourselves still in this world, the original state of man before sin, making on us character according to his will (saint). The sanctification (1) makes us participants in his will (saint). The sanctification (1) makes us participants in the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4); makes us pleasant to God and makes us reach the presence of God and to see His glory by faith. Makes us able to serve God as He wants and we will be victorious. The prayers are answered. So, we can worship God as He wishes: in spirit and in truth (John 4:23, 24). Check Ps. 148, 150, and 95:6, 96:9. Praise and worship have the same meaning. True worship is the fruit of sanctification (1). God is always loved in heaven and in all things. Check Apoc. 4:10, 11, 5:14, 7:11, 11:16, 19:4.

 CONCLUSION: The sanctification requires segregation of the world of sin and consecration of our lives. Requires permanent disposal to look for it and effort to win and do our part, is a continuous and progressive process. So God will bless us through the power of the Jesus’ blood, the God’s Word and the Holy Spirit.

(1) Observance to the Laws of God.

1º)      RESURRECTION DEFINITIION: Resurrection is after dead returns to live. The Bible tells us of two kinds of resurrection: material to material and then die again, as was the case of Lazarus (John 11:17, 39, 43-44), the son of the widow of Naim (Lk. 7:11 -15) and others; and spiritual to material resurrection either for salvation or for condemnation.
 When we repent and believe by faith in Jesus Christ we are saved entirely, that is, in spirit, soul and body (John 19:30). Our spirit was born again, is justified, is regeneration and we become children of God. As for our body, salvation is guaranteed by God since the day we were saved. The salvation of the body is the resurrection in spiritual of glory body, also called as redemption in the Bible (Lk. 21:28, Rom. 8:23 to 3:24) or the Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13), but will only receive in the Rapture’s day. This is the final act and complementary to our salvation.

2º)       FIRST AND SECOND RESURRECTION:  Let’s read Apoc. 20:5-6. The first resurrection is the one of the saved. The second, of the lost. The saved will resurrect in the spiritual body, glorious, eternal enjoyment, equal to the angels (Mt 22:30), like the glorious body of Jesus (I John 3:2 - Phil. 3:20-21). This is the first resurrection. About the lost, will only resurrect in the final verdict when the heavens and the earth were destroyed and created new heavens and new earth without sin (Apoc. 21.1). The lost are in hell will receive a spiritual body to eternal torment, and will be launched in the fire lake that is worse than hell and is called the second death or iniquity award  (Apoc. 20:11-15 - 20:5 -6 - John 5:28-29 - Dan.12: 2). This is the second resurrection.

 3º)       WHEN WILL BE THE RESURRECTION:  The resurrection that we study will happen in the Church’s Rapture, and will be very soon. The thought line more widespread is that will be amidst the Antichrist reign, next being fulfilled all the major scourges registered in Apocalypse. The Bible teaches us several signs that will proceed the Church’s Rapture and resurrection. Dan 12:4 says of the proliferation of science at the end o time.
NOTE.: In Mt 24, the references are to the Jewish people, not for the church.

4º)      HOW WILL HAPPRN THE RESURRECTION:  Let’s read Thess. 4:13-18. Jesus descends from heaven with a cortege of angels in glory and power (Mt 16:27 - Thess II. 1:7-10). Jesus with the angels stops in the clouds bringing with Him since heaven to all who have died saved (I Thess. 3:13). Jesus from the clouds gives the order of resurrection to all the saved bodies buried in the whole world or have just died. The Holy Spirit, which is life and power, then operates the resurrection transforming the material into glorious spiritual body, attached it to the spirit of man in the clouds making the man a whole spiritual (I Thess. 4:14, 16). Below occur the rapture of the saved alive around the world (I Thess. 4:15, 17). Those who will be snatched will not know death, but will have their bodies transformed into glorious spiritual bodies, in a brief opening and closing of eyes and then will rise to the meet of Jesus in the clouds (I Cor 15:50 - 52 - I Tess. 4:17 ). Let’s also see I Cor 15:42-44 and 53-55. From clouds we all will rise in celebration and glory to the skies. It is better to remember that not every church will be snatched. Mt 25:1-13 teaches us that only some part will participate. Mark. 13:32-37 and Lk. 21:34-36 recommend award which is the rapture.

 5º)       HOW WE WILL LIVE LATER: After the rapture and resurrection all will be glorified (Phil. 3:20-21 / Rom. 8:17-18, col.3:3-4). God will give us of His glory. We will have glorious spiritual bodies. We will live forever in the eternal enjoyment in glory and in eternity of God, serving Him and worshiping Him. After the resurrection in the rapture, the whole earth will be under the scourges of the great tribulation described in Apocalypse. These are the judgments of God about all the incredulity and sin of humanity. We, however, will be in the glory of heavens, the great festival of the Lamb Wedding that will last about three and a half years. Jesus is the bridegroom and the church is the bride (Apoc. 19:7-9).
After this period, we will come back with Jesus and the angels to stop the Great Tribulation on earth and establish the Peace Millennium. Jesus will establish his throne in Jerusalem and reign all over the earth. We will be kings and priests of Christ for a thousand years (Apoc. 1:6-7, 20:6 – Zech. 14:3-5). After the Millennium, then comes the Final verdict. The heavens and the earth will be destroyed and everything will be done again. Finishes sin and death. (Apoc. 21.1 - II Pet. 3:7, 10). We will live forever with God in the New Celestial Jerusalem (Apoc. 21:1-4).

 

CONCLUSION: The resurrection of the saved is called the first resurrection. We will resurrect or be transformed in the Rapture’s day and will receive a glorious spiritual body. We will participate of the Lamb Wedding. We will reign with Christ one thousand years. Forever we will be with the Lord in the New Celestial Jerusalem, serving and worshiping him Amen. Let’s be prepared because it will happen very soon.

ALL IN SUMMARY: This study aims to present in a summary form, the eschatological content, covering the main events chronologically and starting with a question: All those who have died since Adam and Eve until now, where are they? A: The saved are in heaven or paradise (Lk. 23:39-43, 16:19-31, John 14:3, 17:24, 2 Cor 5:1,2,6 and 8). The lost are in hell (Lk 16:19-31; Ps. 9:17, Mt 23:33, 2 Thess. 1:6-9).

1- Antichrist REIGN and the beginning of the great tribulation: starts shortly with 1) an alliance of ten nations. One of the ten will rebel and three of these will be remote of the alliance. Will be in number of seven (Dan. 9:27, 7:7 - 8; Apoc. 17:3-12). Note: one week = seven days = seven years of the Antichrist reign. Heads, horns, tips or diadems are nations (Apoc. 17:12). Will elect a world leader which is the antichrist, that is, against Christ (1 John 2:18-22), (a man in which will be "incarnated" the devil himself) that with the support of the seven nations will govern the entire world for seven years, and will subdue all the nations of the Earth to the macabre devil domain (Apoc. 13:1-18; 2 Thess. 2:1-17). These are the seven years of antichrist reign, which are divided into two periods of three years and a half each (Dan. 9:27). In the first three and a half years the tribulation will be more lenient, and the devil will be able to deceive all the nations with false peace, and with signs and lying wonders (2Thess. 2:9-10). Will conquer and dominate all nations of the Earth. Read Apoc. 13:1-18.
 The first beast is the Antichrist that comes out of the sea = crowds. The second beast is the false prophet who comes out of the earth = strong religion. During the first three and a half years the church will still be on earth. In the beginning of the second three and a half years, the Antichrist takes out the mask, prohibits all forms of worship to God, requires all the worship and adoration to himself and pursue the Church (2 Thess 2: 3-4; Dan. 9: 27 ).

2º)       CHURCH’S RAPTURE:  It's more or less here that Jesus comes to snatch the church that occurs the resurrection (1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 Cor 15:50-55). Mt 25:1-13 says the bridegroom came at midnight. The groom is Jesus. Midnight is the highest point of darkness. The ten virgins are the saved and represent the Church. Note that only a part of ten can enter. The others were saved but were not prepared. This festival is the Lamb Wedding in heaven after the rapture (Apoc. 17:7-9). The Holy Spirit goes up with the Church and all the land is given to Satan. Soon after the rapture, will be fulfilled on Earth all the greatest scourges of the Apocalypse: the stamps, the cups, the trumpets, etc... All who are not snatched will be martyred (Apoc. 6:9-11, 7:13-17, 20:4). Missing words to describe how great and terrible is this period of great tribulation. Read all Apocalypse to understand all this. As the earth continues the great tribulation, we that were are snatched, we will be in the great festival of the Wedding Lamb in heaven (Apoc. 12: 1-18) NOTE: A time, times and a half time = three and a half years (42 months or 1260 days) (Apoc. 12:4, 6, 13:5). In the final part of the great tribulation, there will be a war of Armageddon in Israel, when the devil will use all the armies of all nations of the Earth to destroy Israel (Apoc. 16:13-16, Zech.3:8-10, Zech. l2, Zech.14: l10L0).

3º)       THE END OF GREAT TRIBULATION – SATAN ARREST – BEGINNING OF MILLENIUM: In this acute point occurs the divine intervention during the war in favor of Israel (Ezek. 38:19-23; Zech. 14:12-13).
Soon after, Jesus descends from heaven with us and with His angels, destroys the rest of the armies of the nations that still struggle against Israel and finishes with all the great tribulation, and implants the Peace Millennium (Zech. 14:3-7, 12: 8-10), Apoc. 1:7, 17:11-14). Satan with all his demons will be imprisoned in the abyss for a thousand years (Apoc. 20:1-3).

4º)       TIME OF THE MILLENNIUM: During the Millennium Jesus will be the King over all the Earth - (Apoc. 20:6, 5:10; 2 Thess. 1.7). During the millennium the world will be almost a paradise (Isa. 11:6-9, 32:1, 17-18, 54:13, 55:12; 65:19-20,25; 60:17-18,22; 45:8). God will show that He is the only solution to all problems of humanity.

 5º)      END OF THE MILLENNIUM - Satan release: After a thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison. Will go out to deceive all the nations and gather them again for the war against Israel - (Apoc. 20:7-10). - Jesus is reigning.

 

6º)    FINAL VERDICT AND DESTRUCTION OF THE HEAVENS OF EARTH: Occurs the final verdict. God sends fire from heaven, which destroys all. Satan, all demons, death, hell and all that did not repent, accepting Jesus, were thrown into the lake of fire forever. Here ends the death and sin - (Apoc, 20:11-15, 21:8, 22, 15, 1 Cor.15, 53-55). After God destroys the heavens and the earth - (Apoc. 21:1, 2 Apoc. 3:7-10; Isa. 51:6)

7º)       – CREATION OF NEW HEAVENS, NEW EARTH, NEW JERUSALEM AND ETERNITY

God creates new heavens, new earth and New Celestial Jerusalem - (Isa. 65:17; Isa. 66:22, 2 Pet. 3:13, Apoc. 21:5, 9-27). We live FOREVER with God in New Jerusalem (Apoc. 21:1-4, 22:1-5) serving Him, praising Him and worshiping Him Amen.

INTRODUCTION: It is of greater importance the matter we are going to study. Growing is something natural and normal to all living beings. If a child does not grow up, something is not right. In the spiritual life is also like that. Who does not grow spiritually is not right.

1º)       SPIRITUAL GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS: It is the will of God that we grow spiritually. It is God who gives us the growth (I Cor 3:6-7). We are compared to a building under construction (Eph. 2:20-22). God orders that we grow in everything that is from Jesus (Eph. 4:15). God orders that we ask for and He will give it (Mt 7:7-11). Thus, it only depends on us of doing our part. Wishing (I Pet. 2:2 and looking for (John 15:4-5). The limit for our spiritual growth is to achieve the full stature of Christ (Eph. 4:13).

2º)       AREAS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH: We must be vigilant so that our spiritual growth occurs in all areas of life. For the spiritual side grows is also necessary to clear the side material. Examples of cleaning material: don’t speak bad words (Eph. 4:29), don’t mislead anyone (I Thess. 4:6), don’t lie (Col. 3:9), be faithful in married life (Mal 2:14 -15), to keep with your neighbors, your family and your work the same conduct that you have in the church, looking for the release of all ills (John 8:32,36) wear yourself in a decent way, honest, with decency and modesty (1 Tim 2:9, 10), etc.. In the spiritual area we should look for improvement in everything, both for building the church and each of us (Eph. 4:11-12). We must grow in unity of faith and in knowledge of Christ (Eph. 4:13, Col. 1:10, 2 Thess. 1:3). Grow in grace and in thanksgivings (Col. 2:7, 2 Pet. 3:18). Growing up in holiness and in love - (1 Thess. 5:23, 3:12, 1 Pet. 1:22). Growing up in everything that is from Jesus until we reach to the stature of the perfect man who is Christ (Eph. 4:13 and 15).

 3º)       THE PURPOSE OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH : As it is necessary that a child grows up and become adult to have a normal life and learn how to lead safely within the word of God, doing their work. The purpose of spiritual growth is: do not be deceived by false doctrines (Eph. 4:4), receive the solid food to do the work that God wants (Heb. 5:13,14). Be firm and safe (Eph. 6:10-18). Be strong in the strength and in the power of God. Firm against the evil forces and its pitfalls. Firm to resist in a bad day, wielding the Word of Truth, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Holy Spirit is the Word of God, with all these we will pay all of our inflamed darts of the malicious. Besides that, God wants to reveal many hidden mysteries and secrets in His word (Col. 1:27 / Am 3:7). God wants to fill us of the celestial riches still in this life, preparing ourselves for abundance in the heavens (Eph. 1:18 - 2:7). However, only those who grow up spiritually can understand and receive such blessings (I Cor 2:9-19).

4º)       HOW TO GROW UP SPIRITUALLY: It’s necessary that we wish and look for (I Pet. 2:2). God is always ready to give us growth. We will grow spiritually if we do the following things:

       A)          Studying and meditating on the Bible every day (Josh. 1:8-9) - (Ps. 1:1, 2) learning of Jesus (Mt 11:29), applying the word in life and keeping it in heart (Apoc. 1:3). Reread at home the lessons of dominical school. Delight thyself in the Lord (Ps. 37:4).

 

B)          Pray (I Thess. 5:17), watching in prayer (Lk. 21:36), keeping close communion with God in prayer (John 14:13-14 - 15:11) and praying, so that will have growth in the church (Acts 1:14 to 2:42 and 41 - 4:4). Decision Time is prayer time.

 C)         Serving God every day through: live in an honest way in righteousness and justice before God and men (Ps. 119:1); if it’s possible, to do the home worship in family daily (Deut. 6:6-8).

 D)      Participate, if it’s possible of all church worships integrating itself in their work (Acts 2:42-43 and 46 - John 15:6-7 - 5:17); always attend the dominical school to grow in knowledge of God (Hos. 6:3); witness and teach others what we’ve already learnt - (Acts 5:42); always obey the will of God (I Sam. 15:22-23), watch for the sin don’t involve ourselves, but involves itself, repent yourself soon and ask for the purification by the Jesus’ blood (I John 1:7).

 NOTE (impediment to the spiritual growth).

Many have had their lives atrophied because do not understand the steps that God presents them. The ministerial submission is a very important factor for the spiritual growth. When God sends you to a church is not to say what is right or wrong, but only to fulfill your time (step) in that ministry, and have Total submission: If you are approved you will pass to another step (level). Otherwise, your spiritual life will stagnate.

For example: If you are an assistant pastor, or even vice president, that does not allow you any authority, they are still positions that require you submission. What the President Pastor determines must be fulfilled. Who disagrees should withdraw. But do not forget to consult the Lord, because even disagreeing, God may have something to deal with you on that ministry. (E.g. Joseph, Daniel).

I WANT TO REEMPHASIZE THAT THE ATTRIBUTIONS, RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE STATUTES ARE NOT OF ANY VALUE, THE STATUS HAS SOME VALUE OUTSIDE THE DOOR; OF THE CHURCH’S DOOR TO WITHIN, WHAT COMMANDS IS THE BIBLE.

ATENTION:

             Be very careful with your ideas and conclusions, a president pastor, is not subject to your comments, unless you have express orders of the Lord. Remember of Miriam, which was right in what spoke, but Moses was not subject to his trial. (See numbers 12:1 - 16).

            CONCLUSION: God wants us to grow spiritually and to look for it from heart. We must clean our material life to grow in spiritual life and to look for growth in all areas. The purpose is to be adults, to live firm in Christ overcoming all ill, receive the abundant blessings and make the work as He wants.
The spiritual growth is accomplished by studying the Bible, prayer, and to serve God every day. Learn of Christ. Grow in Christ. Live in Christ. Serve Christ. Amen.

INTRODUCTION:  The baptism in water is the unique ordinance that the Lord Jesus left to the church together with the memorial of His sacrifice.

 1º)       THE BIBLICAL FORMULA OF BAPTISM: Biblical Christian Baptism began with the Lord Jesus. He was the first to be baptized by John Baptist. John was called Baptist or the imergidor because of the baptism that God ordered him to perform in all that, listening to the preaching of the word, repented themselves of their sins - (Mt 3:5-8). It was called the baptism of John or repentance - (Acts 19:1-5). The Lord Jesus had the necessity of baptism, before beginning His ministry, with "almost" thirty years, submitted Himself to the baptism to fulfill all righteousness and give us the supreme example as a man (Lk. 3:2123; Mt . 3:13-17). Jesus was 30 years.

A)                BAPTISM AND ITS INTERPRETATIONS: BAPTISM AND INTERPRETATIONS: As the time passes by they have appeared few doctrinal differences in relation to the baptism, which does not injure in anything the doctrine of the Gospel or the central theme of the Scripture. The word baptism is transliterated from the Greek BAPTIZO that means immerse, plunge, or even master. Let’s see Rom. 6:3-5. Here are some symbols teaching that the baptism is by immersion such as: buried by baptism, planted to resemblance of his death by baptism, etc... Other examples are in the baptism of Jesus and in the eunuch - (Matthew 3:16, Acts 8:38, 39) in the expressions: descend to the water and left the water. NOTE: If there are POSSIBILITIES to baptism by immersion, so we can PROCEed (for tradition reasons), but we must not forget. that there are parts of the planet, where there is great Limited WATER, AND WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE the Immersion.

B)                NOTE.  . More accurate studies, show that the word baptism also presents other senses, whose main within the biblical symbolism we want to mention, and is dominate. Recalling that water is a symbol of the word (Christ’s doctrine), wetting a person may be symbolic to the contact with the floor. Also, with no doubt, we would like to leave light questioning about the terms "Descended to the water, and left the water," they do not mean that have been submerged by the waters, but only have been sent to a place of water. (THL).

 C)                BAPTISM IN NAME OF TRINITY: Let’s see Mt 28:18-20. The Lord Jesus has determined that the baptism is done in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Mt 28:18), thus involving the entire Trinity. When Jesus himself has been baptized the trinity was present (Mt 3:16-17). In Mt 28:19-20 Jesus has determined the baptism in the name of the Trinity. Therefore, the formula for the baptism is in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 2º)       WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED Baptism is for those who believe (Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-38). Baptism should only be administered of who has reached the reason age, sin conscience, has been converted to Jesus, has experienced sincere repentance of sin, have believed in Christ by faith and be sure of your salvation. There’s no sense to baptize newborn children. This does not exist in the Bible. The child still cannot believe and believe is a faith act. No one can exercise faith in the child’s place or by anyone else. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Rom. 14:12). In our church we usually present to God the children, praying to God for Him to bless and free them from evil. This always in accordance with the parents’ wishes. This is very important because it is a biblical tradition from the Old Testament and it was always been done by the Jews. The Lord Jesus himself, with eight days of birth, was brought to the temple, presented to God (Lk. 2:21-24). However, this has nothing to do with baptism. If a child dies before reaching the sin consciousness, will be saved, because has lived only in time of innocence. Baptism does not save or help to save, nor wash the sins of anyone, but is required to obey the ordinance of Jesus. Baptism is for those who are already saved. Would be violation of this ordinance baptize not converted and lost people. However, anyone who has repented and is sure of forgiveness, believed in Christ by faith and is sure of salvation, feel the uncontrollable desire to seal his faith by the public testimony of baptism. All saved should baptize himself to fulfill and obey the ordinance of the Lord Jesus. The Bible shows us many examples. All that created and were soon baptized were saved (Acts 2:38 and 41, 8:12 and 16, 8:36-38, 9:18, 10:47, 48, 16:33, 18:8, 19: 5, etc). It is better to remember that the baptism in water has nothing to do with the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

3º)       MEANING AND PURPOSE OF BAPTISM: The act of baptism, considering that water is one of the symbols of the word, also means immersion in the teachings of Christ.

 A)                A POINT OF VIEW; The meaning of baptism is death, burial and resurrection. When I descend to the baptismal waters I am covered by them, symbolically I die for the sin world and was buried in Christ. When I get out of the water, I am stating that I resurface to live a new life in Christ (Rom. 6:1-8, Col. 2:12, 3: 1-10). Christ died for my sin for me to die for the sin.
 B)                PURPOSE: The purpose of baptism is to give public testimony of my faith and salvation in Jesus Christ. When I am baptized I am stating that I regretted of my sins and I was forgiven, created and accepted Jesus Christ as my only Savior and Lord, that Jesus died for me on the Calvary cross, which I accepted this sacrifice by faith and that I am saved, as well my life. This is the purpose: No words to proclaim publicly, and before the church, the transformation and change that Jesus made in my inner.

 NOTE: The purpose point of view mentioned above might, in extreme, has nothing to do with reality, because the Lord Jesus said that we would know the tree by the fruit. Baptism does not show any change in anyone’s life, because walking with Christ is not a moment, is day to day.

 C)                The previous narratives are true, if we consider the sincerity in the heart that is delivered to the baptismal act, however, as to baptism be a public testimony, I want to disagree that rule, because our brothers of the past could not freely exhibit their faith, yet their baptisms, still hidden had the desired value. Baptism is an act of seriousness and responsibility. The baptizing must be sure that is already saved. This is an act of personal faith, therefore, no external factor should be the impediment to compliance of this ordinance, is personal. When you believed in Christ and were saved, became part of the church or the world Christ body and passed to the position as the son of God. If you die without an opportunity to be baptized will go to the sky. This was the case of the thief of the cross (Lk. 23:33-43). When you are baptized, becomes member of the local church.

 A)                RIGHTS: I want to be redundant in remember that, although the churches status being forced to include a range of items for that the Association be legalized, I never thought that the Church is governed by statute, any rule for the TRUE church, comes exclusively from the Bible. In the Church no one is nominated for any office by vote, all determinations and decisions are made exclusively by PASTOR.
