A Voice from Heaven

I try not to discuss anyone's religious denomination or belief(s), but this, and three articles to follow, I have to teach the truth as God chose me to do. A Voice from Heaven My Beloved Son By: Rev. Lynwood F. Mundy Read Scriptures: Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 17:5-7; Matthew 12:18 I heard a Pentecostal apostolic Bishop last week say that “The Spirit of God was not upon him [Jesus].” He further stated, “Jesus was not baptized in the Spirit because he [Jesus] had to baptize in the name of Jesus.” Firstly, I will address the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist: Matthew 3:16-17 clearly states, “16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” As can be seen, Jesus was: 1. Jesus was “Baptized” and not sprinkled. 2. “The heavens were opened” when he came “straightway out of the water.” 3. “and he[Jesus] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 4. “And lo a voice [God’s voice] from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I (God) am well pleased.” Secondly and lastly, how could John the Baptist baptize Jesus into himself before the Father could place His Spirit in him?” If so, Matthew 3:14-15; is not true. That’s preposterous. The Bible is the True Word of God. The statement from this unlearned Pentecostal apostolic Bishop is misleading and wrong as two left feet—causing secular as well as Christian unlearned like his hollering deacon in the radio background saying repeatedly, “Preach Bishop! That’s right, preach Bishop! That’s the Word!” John the Baptist before baptizing Jesus said that, “One is to come that his [Jesus] sandal [I] he is not worthy to unlatch.” See John 1:15, 27; John 3:30, 31; Acts 13:25. And to make the Pentecostal statement and belief of “You must be baptized in the name of Jesus” untrue is: Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8: Luke 3:16; John 1:26; Acts 1:5; Acts 11:16. This denomination believes in the Scripture Acts 10:48a (of the Apostle Peter’s saying, “48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord [Jesus]),” but drastically misquoting it. The Father and Jesus are one and the same person. Jesus is God incarnate—Immanuel, God with us. The Holy Ghost is a separate person, but third person of the Triune. Read 2 Timothy 2:14-16 so you will be able to rightly divide the Word of Truth. © MMXI Daily, Weekend and Holiday Internet to the World Ministry

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem. And ...
