What are the names of people that have marital delay in the Bible

for we walk by faith not by site. so faith without work is dead, and obedience is greater than sacrifice so our work is to work out our salvation with respect an reverence we have commandments an the word of god to obey trust the lord lean no to your own understanding.

this enitial gift is the prophetic from the boof of joel which had confirmed the infilling of the holyghost which is the enitial manifestation of the actual recieving the holyghost so the holyspirit give this for an open door for varous gift he gives to every one who believes like the bible says. so there is the gift of the holyspirit after which there are gifts that he may give as he sees fit for the the body of christ act 2 -1-4 acts 2 4-38.

Part 4) In the book of life, if a person rejects Christ, their name is removed from the book of life as if they've never been born. They're gone! No one is ever blotted out of the Lamb's book of life. I know it's not that God has books up there. But it's just a human example or an illustration that God knows everything, all the people that have been born, and all the people that belong to Christ.
He says I will not blot out his name out of the book of life. And I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Jesus said that He would do that.

Again, my apologies for taking up so much space.

Part 3) In Exodus 32:32-33, the ones who God told Moses would be blotted out were those who were worshipping another god. Moses asked God to blot him out but God did not do it. Moses worshipped God. The others did not, and God tells us who He would blot out. It is my understanding that God will blot out those who refuse to surrender their life to Christ. But for those who receive and worship Him, He will not blot out. Studying all the references in both the OT and NT seem to indicate that there is more than one book. The Jews knew that. There's the book of life which has listed in it everyone that has received human life. And then there's the book of the Lamb, those who belong to Christ.

Part 2) All genuine born again believers are pictured in the scriptures as overcomers. It's impossible to not overcome. Why? It's because Christ has overcome, and He dwells in us. In 1 John 4:3-4 says the spirit of antichrist is in the world, but we have overcome them, Perfect Tense. It's already done because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
So if Christ is always in me from the very second that I receive Christ, and He'll be there throughout eternity, then it will be impossible for me to not overcome, because He overcomes, and has overcome!

Sorry but I am out of space, but will continue.

He that overcomes is a Present Participle. It literally reads to the one who is overcoming, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 21:7 says he that overcomes shall inherit all things. The term he that overcomes sounds like a challenge. It sounds like it would be a possibility, like "if" you do it. But in the Greek text, it is the one who (is) overcoming. In Chapters 2 and 3, the letters to the seven churches, at the end of each message, the same phrase is found, to the one who is overcoming, he will receive a reward. (Due to space, I will send more).

if one can not lost their salvation and the Holy Spirit can not leave...then why this?
Psalms 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Exodus 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
(one can have their name blotted out of the book of life and yes I know they are not saved yet)
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

I disagree. Acts 2:38 we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in baptism when repent of our sins. Of course we continue to sin. We're in the flesh. Sin is a transgression of the law. Lying, talking bad about someone, thinking bad thoughts about others. But we have the Holy Spirit that helps guide us and our consciences are pricked and we pray and ask Gods forgiveness for that sin and ask for prayers for spiritual strength to overcome that weakness in ourselves. It'snot easy living in such a corrupt society as ours is and keep our thoughts and minds as they should be. Narrow is the path that leads to salvation.

Thank you Stanjett for your response. I appreciate and believe I know now why it was perhaps a one-time event. My husband was a non-practicing Jehovah Witness at the time of the event, and commented that he would have never believed had he not witnessed for himself that I, without knowing any other language, spoke such a lovely language. Thank you for taking your time to respond. May the Lord richly bless you for all you do for Him.

Once the Holy Spirit comes into a person's spirit, He takes up residence permanently. You cannot lose the Holy Spirit. If you've received Christ, you have His Spirit dwelling in you. As far as tongues goes, I see nothing in scripture that says that a believer who has been born of God's Spirit will speak in tongues as a sign or proof that a person indeed has God's Spirit.

1 Corinthians 14:22 is the only place in scripture that specifically gives us the purpose for tongues. It was used by God as a sign to unbelievers, not believers.

Hope this helps!

speaking in tongues is only one gift from God, there are others. (read on and you will find them) Maybe you served your purpose as far as speaking in tongues. Maybe you brought someone or more to Christ. And they brought more and more and more. This is how the seed is multiplied. God bless and keep the faith.

I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit a number of years ago. Others around me told me later that I had spoken another language. I only remember three little words that had been running through my mind some time before. I fell away from the Lord later in life and didn't attend church of pray. Later In life, I asked forgiveness and have been a Christian for many years now. My question is: because I don't speak another language anymore, do I still have the Holy Spirit indwelling; or just perhaps will never have the gift of speaking tongues?

Hey my brother the Bible said that You only get saved once,
Jesus Christ died for us on the cross for our sins just one
time and rose again on the third day. He did for you and me
the forgiveness of sins ( Acts 2:38-KJV) and ( 2Corinthians 5:15-NASB )
and read ( 2Corinthians 5:17 -NASB ) (New America Standard Bible)

I pray that the Spirit of God will lead you and open your heart and eyes
give you a blessed weariness and understand of his Love and will
continue to renew your mind and spirit this evening.

God Love You
Take care

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Peter was given the same keys as you and I today, Faith in his name (JESUS) the doors are opened and shut. Like Daniel in the den of lions an angel shut the lions mouth.
Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

On asking about taking Holy Communion every day. Try reading Acts 2:42-46, Acts 20:7, along with 1st Corinthians 10:16. 1st Corinthians 11:17-34 is about the Lord's supper, but it doesn't mention exactly how often is proper. Read in the Spirit and the Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth. I hope this helps.

It matters how you are baptised, Jesus Christ commanded "baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". That name is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said that He came in His Father's (Jesus Christ) and that is the name to be baptized in. Also 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Hi Debra, how do you interpret Acts 2:38 ? If you don't think it's necessary, do you think it's important? If not, why do you think the Bible says this? Do you think there's any downside to a Christian being baptized other than getting wet and maybe feeling inconvenienced or embarrassed? For example, if a Christian wasn't 100% sure that Acts 2:38 meant baptism was necessary or not, why wouldn't a Bible-believing Christian want to be baptized?

No one can say for sure if another person is lost...My brother died from after being burned badly at the age of 42. he had been witnessed to and prayed for many times by me and many others. He came close a time or two, but just couldn't accept Christ. He lived for 3 days in and out of consciousness and couldn't communicate the last two. I pray he ask the Lord to come into his heart....By all accounts he was lost, but Acts 2:21 says, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." He couldn't speak to us, but he still could speak to God...It only takes a second to be saved. Remember this when you hear of a lost soul.....

Matt 28:19 Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. When they did as they were told by Jesus, Peter said in Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and yea shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So the singular name that is mention in Matt 28:19 is answer in Acts 2:28. Which would be line up with the word of God, and God is still one God and there isn't any beside Him. Just one. When your dividing the scripture, you have to divide correctly, God always says He is One, never says He is three. Trinity was made by a pagan worshiper, not a christian. Catholic church accept it 245AD.

Jesus Christ says to baptize in name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. So do as He instructed you!

You are right, Andrew Kelly, it is all confusion. Confusion is of the devil and is Babylon. He also said, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you... And it's up to you to seek Him and to find out what they are, and to obey and do your first works after you have believed by Grace.

The Scriptures below will be helpful for those who are unaware that the early Church in Acts met every day of the week not just on Saturday Acts 2:41-47 God also tells us in Romans15:5-6 that the day we choose to fellowship is acceptable to Him. As we see confirmed Paul Preached on the Sunday; Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week when the Disciples came Together to break bread and Paul Preached unto them....

The name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ Matthew 28:19, Peter 2:38 . Jesus commanded the Apostles that repentance and remission of sins must be preached in his name Luke 24:46-47 . All demonstration of baptisms were done in the name of Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus no one was simply baptized in Jesus' name or Father, Son and Holy Ghost .

Acts 2:38. repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost

When Jesus died on the cross the veil was rent from top to bottom signifying that each man could go before God to repent for his own sins. Peter whom Jesus had given the keys to the kingdom stoop up on the day of Pentecost and declared the NEW baptism which was used throughout the rest of the Bible as the way to be saved. This is not my opinion, it is the Word of God.

If it doesn't matter then why not just sacrifice a lamb instead of being baptized? There is a problem with some who think any old way will do. There was a time when people sacrificed animals. Then that was done away with when a priest took the peoples sins before God. Then they priests started dying behind the veil because they were unclean.

Obedience to god is the whole duty of man Ecclesiastes 12:12 , disobedience to god results in the wages of sin which is death Romans 6:23 . Obedience to god is eternal life through Jesus Christ. In his name there is remission of sins and forgiveness of sins Acts 2:38

Until they conform to the Apostles doctrine, which is being born of the Water and the Spirit, i.e. John 3:3 and Acts 2:38, they cannot be saved. This is universal and goes for anyone, who isn't born again.
