The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and study Paul's writings to apply the 'TO!"

Paul's Greater Commission
Expounding
the way of God more perfectly... - Acts

Now
That We Have Made it All Official,
Are We Ready For What's Next? |
March
2, 2008
Ok, now that we are officially no
longer a Baptist church but instead, a church that unashamedly follows
Paul's gospel by rightly dividing the King James Bible... what can we expect?
I know, in many ways, we have been
there, done that already...
However, the Devil knows now we
are serious...
or - are we?
We have been doing Paul for a long
time, but just not officially!
I never really did
teach the Great Commission.
I was never a good
baptist.
Lots of baptisticated
past now 'history' of lessons learned
But once I left the
'camp,' I know now that I have left totally!
Yes, we have lost
many friends...
... and there have
been many contentions with little success...
but there have been
success, as well.
So,
we must now start looking seriously at the ways of Paul and remind ourselves
that much of what
happened to Paul himself as he spread his own gospel
about the risen
Christ, can and probably will happen to us.
Sources of our final authority
-
Paul received his information from direct
revelation from Christ Himself!
-
Galatians 1:11,12
- But I certify you, brethren, that the
gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received
it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
-
We receive this
information ourselves from direct reading & studying God's inspired,
preserved, rightly divided and that which is perfect Scriptures
- the KJB. (not the NKJB, either)
-
II Timothy
3:16,17; Hebrews 4:12,13; I Thessalonians 2:13; Psalm 12:6,7; I Corinthians
13:10
We are now even more assured that
we really do KNOW whom we have believed!
-
The Risen Lord
Jesus Christ
-
II Timothy
1:12 - For the which cause I also suffer
these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto
him against that day.
-
The complete testimony
of our Lord and of Paul
-
II Timothy
1:8,9 - Be not thou therefore ashamed of
the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker
of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath
saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began,
-
Jesus Christ according
to Paul!
-
Romans 16:25,26
- Now to him that is of power to stablish
you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according
to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world
began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all
nations for the obedience of faith:
-
Assured of this
eternal purpose!
-
Ephesians 2:11-22;
3:1-12
-
saved to lost
-
but now...
-
made nigh
-
reconciliation
-
fellow citizens
with the saints
-
builded together
for an habitation of God
-
Gentiles should
be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in
Christ by the gospel...
-
fellowship of
the mystery
-
according to the
eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord...
-
Totally assured
because it is all from the written Scriptures today!
-
I Thessalonians
1:5 - For our gospel came not unto you
in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance;
as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
-
As Paul stated,
before 1611 and after 1611, it is the KJB
- I Corinthians 13:10
Not only about
ourselves!
-
I Timothy 4:15,16
- Meditate upon these things; give thyself
wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto
thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou
shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
-
I Thessalonians
1:8-10 - For from you sounded out the word
of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your
faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And
to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus,
which delivered us from the wrath to come.

having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him
to reconcile all things unto himself;
by him,
I say, whether they be things in earth,
or things
in heaven.

OUR PEACE

are
made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For

and
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
