Discuss John 4 Page 28

God is a spirit...... God a spirit. A spirit is a form that is in the true image and likeness of God. This is what was created in the 1st account of creation in Genesis chapter 1.

Charity means love that is why it is the greatest one out of all three. 1 John 4:7-8 reads Beloved, let us love one another for love is from God and whoever loves has been born of God and know God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love.....So to love is to know God, and to know God is everything. so charity is love.

Interesting that Jesus MUST go to Sychar. Jews had no dealings with Samaritians. But to be sitting and talking to a Woman of Samaria? His disciples know better than to question, even Peter. This is another example of Jesus using a woman to bring the message of salvation. Though they reminded her, they found her message to be true, she would get no credit for it. But she had already been used by Jesus. Jesus uses whom He pleases. The ground is level around the Cross.

Hello RNM: Read what he stated, "By keeping His commandments, entitles our entry into 65279 the gates of heaven ". Someone reading this could get the wrong idea that this is all it takes. Where is it written that obtaining clarification is a falsehood or that it is deceiving people? What falsehoods have I spoken? Where have I deceived anyone? 1 John 4: 2 and 3 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world ". I have always maintained that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. I have always maintained that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3: 16. So tell me how does this make me a false prophet?

Hello Ron No he did not have a new program. Paul had already been converted to Christianity before going into Arabia. Then he traveled back to Damascus from Arabia. It is not known how long he stayed there or what he actually studied. But whatever he studied did not change his faith believing in Jesus Christ and Acts 2 38. In the end, Paul still after his journey to Arabia still taught the oneness to many. Remember the Ephesians, whom Paul wrote his epistle to, was saved Christians. They were saints in Jesus Christ. He taught Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone of our faith, Ephesians 2 20 thru 22. Remember the Roman Church was saved people. If you read Romans 1 1 Paul starts the Book with Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle.

Gal. 1. 17 Paul has a new program call grace. Eph.3 10 Romans16 25 Most folks just read over these verses always rightly divide

Part 8 of 10 Now look at what Jesus says next. He uses singular words such as Name. There is no s on it meaning there is one name to recognize. Then he uses the word and which is a conjunction tying all three of this together saying that there is one name in which to be baptized in. Now the question you have to ask yourselves is what is the name? Jesus said to baptize in the name, so what is the name? Jesus gave the name. He stated his name and his Father s name in John 5 43 I am come in my Father s name, and ye receive me not .. Then he gave the name of the Holy Ghost in John 14 26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name So on the day of Pentecost Peter clarified by reminding the people that the name in which you should be baptized is in the Lord Jesus Christ name.

Part 10 of 10 How does a person know whether or not they truly have the Holy Ghost? They have to speak with other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance. The Holy Ghost is God s gift. He can give it anyway he wants before the baptism or after the baptism, but he will not deviate from the formula of how to recognize the Holy Ghost when it comes into a person s life. The formula was given and prophesied in Isaiah 28 11 and Joel 2 29. Then God confirmed it himself when he gave the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost, because they all spake with other tongues as the spirit of God gave them utterance. Then Peter clarified it further when he went to Cornelius house and stated that they all spake as Peter and the others spake in other tongues which is the sign of the true Holy Ghost.

Part 9 of 10 Then you have the final component of the salvation plan. The filling of the Holy Ghost, which only God himself can give. No man, woman, or child can give it to you. You can tarry with someone all day long. You can pray all day long. God looks at the heart and when he knows that you have truly repented he will give you his gift. Remember God cannot lie, Hebrews 6 18. So you have to ask yourselves this question, when the preacher is baptizing you and he says to you that he will baptize you in the Holy Ghost what is he doing? He just lied to you. He cannot give you God s gift. The reason no man can give you the gift of the Holy Ghost is because man is not fair and he only looks at the outward appearance, whereas God looks at the heart. This is a gift only God can give.

Part 7 of 10 When Jesus stated in Matthew 28 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost . He said, Peter clarified it, and the Apostles, including Peter, carried it out. Now let s break this down. First he stated all nations . This means everyone, every human being, on the planet. Peter clarifies this by saying For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call .

Part 6 of 10 Then Peter tells a person to get baptized. This means to be submerged in water. If I can say it like this, I would rather have 1001 baptisms and be found to have had the correct one and make it into heaven, than to have 1000 and be told that I do not have it right when I meet God. Baptism is a part of the salvation plan. There is no getting around this. The correct baptism is needed. When Jesus stated a person must be born again of water and of spirit, this is the water he was talking about. The Apostles carried out this plan of salvation. It is recorded in the Word of God in which we all read, so why is it difficult to accept that this is so? In the Book of Acts there are many examples of the baptism.

Part 5of 10 True repentance will affect a person s will and this person will turn around as in example of the Great Decision of the Prodigal Son, Luke 15 18. After you have repented you do not go back into those sins examples, John 5 14 John 8 7 thru 11. They were instructed to go and sin no more. A person that returns to their sin folly is like a dog returning to his vomit, Proverbs 26 11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly . When a person truly repents the angels will rejoice, Luke 15 10.

Part 4 of 10 If I can say it like this, Acts 2 38 is asking an individual to Repent. Repentance is turning for sin. Asking God to truly forgive you for your sin, whether this is the sin you have committed up unto the point you hear about Acts 2 38 or the sin that you had nothing to do with that came from Adam in the Garden, you still have to repent. True repentance will affect a person s entire being. His intellect like the parable of the two sons, Matthew 21 29. True repentance is a godly sorrow and will affect emotions, 2 Corinthians 7 9 and 10.

Part 3 of 10 I have no agenda other than I want to see people truly saved before it is too late. What are you losing by following Acts 2 38? Have anybody been asked to give up their wealth? Has anybody been asked to lay down their natural life? Has anybody been asked to handle snakes? Has anybody been told to hate a whole race of people because of their skin color? The answer to all of these questions is no they have not.

Part 2 of 10 How we know that this is the plan of salvation is because in Acts 2 39 Peter continues with his conversation with the multitude and says the following And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation . We are living in a day and age where morals are being skewed. The children are being taught that it is alright to be a homosexual. The world is in chaos and turmoil. The things that was foretold we see it happening now. Salvation is an individual walk that you must follow Acts 2 38.

I hope all of the following parts come out Part 1 of 10 Hello Everyone The Word of God is the truth in itself. No matter how many people try to dispute it the word of God will stand. On the day of Pentecost Peter stood and gave a speech and in Acts 2 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, so if this was the end then Peter would have stopped there, but it wasn t the end of what to do. Now Peter did not just stop there with this conversation. He continued on telling the multitude gathered there that they had crucified Jesus Christ who is both Lord and Christ. After Peter said this they were pricked in their hearts and asked a simple question, Acts 2 37. ..Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter gave them the answer in order for them to be saved, Acts 2 38. Then he told them who this salvation plan was for in Acts 2 39.

It is interesting the miracles Jesus done in his ministry.

The Pharisees could quote the writings of the old covenant scriptures like you could your family history, so don 't be fooled satan has disquised himself as an angel of light and so are his messengers. so don 't take anyone 's word for any thing read it yourself, if you love God, study to show thyself approved, And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. his messengers are very intelligent and know how to change the word ever so slightly, but it 's s deceiving power never the less, BEWARE, THEY hate you, and do not want you to know the truth, the whole truth. the truth that leads to true Salvation. AMEN!

First of all, you half to have already repented and accepted the Lord as your Savior, now being sincere and in the spirit, being filled with the Holy Spirit you can pray to God in the Spirit and in Truth. Mainly the Lords Prayer, until you study to find yourself approved, you can 't just ask GOD anything or for anything. I really feel that Our Heavenly Fathers intentions are for us to put this life aside and give it no thought, because really one can 't compare a few years on this world to an eternity with GOD. can you. I will admit It is a very tough fight, but if you always lean on the Lord he 'll see you through anything!

Hello Sheri You have to be born again of water and spirit. The water is the water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as Peter spoke about on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 2 38. The Spirit of God is the Holy Ghost which not only did Peter speak about on the day of Pentecost but in John 14 26 "But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name he shall teach you all things.... ". The truth is the word of God, John 17 17 Sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth. You have to follow Acts 2 38 in order to worship in spirit and in truth.

God is Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. in John4 23 24 talking to the Samaritan woman ,He said "But the hour is coming, and now is, when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. " It doesn 't say we can worship God anyway we want, but we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth ". The word "must " makes it absolute. Worshipping God in spirit means that it must be done from the heart. Worship to God is holy as you are bought with a price therefore glorify God with your mind, mouth, and in your spirit, which are sacred to God. Your Body and your Spirit... Worship is not for our pleasure, nor for our enjoyment worship is to please God, the creator of all things on earth and heaven. The one who sacrificed His only Son for our sins and ailments. Worship with an open heart, put away all other thoughts out of your mind and give Him Praise. Praise Praise and thanks for all He did in your life, for all He is doing in your life and for all He is going to do in Your Life. May be now thing are not as you want them to be, but , remember He is with you all the time, and when you are praising Him with open heart, HRALING AND PEACE , HIS PEACE, will fill your heart. Amen

How do we worship God in spirit and in truth?

We often talk about the first miracle that Jesus did at Cana of Galilee turning the water into wine. Yet the faith of the nobleman when he believed that his son was healed is the second miracle that Jesus did, and it is amazing, for He just spoke the words and the fever abated at 1 00pm . We must have this same child like faith in GOD.

For Jesus the work of God is what satisfy his Soul, his joy his receive from it ,,what about U and Me

Food is what satisfies hunger but also supplies nutrients for strength, growth and health. Doing God 's will equally brings satisfaction in the spiritual man because it pleases God.

only believe that all things are possible with GOD, HE can just speak the word and we believe it and it is done we are healed we are delivered we are set free and no longer bound. GLORY BE TO GOD.

i want to have more understanding of verse

JOHN 4 21. Jesus used this expression , indeed , to condemn the ancient traditions of worshipping their gods on the mountains for example,the worshipping of the mood gods by the Arabs at Kabah in MECCA the most sacred site for Arabians paganism. ............................................This moon gods according to some known archaeologists COON among others,was represented by the symbol of the crescent moon and upto now they remains worshipping as their chief deity of gods. ............................................................................And that believers should know, a true God , is not only to be worshipped in one place , but every where.

Thank God that he had a need to pass by my well. He was aware of all my secrets and knew every delay of my life. God,like at the at well is able to make a believer out of you. He took her mess and gave her a message.

What was "the will " of him who sent him? That he be obedient even, shed his blood, untill death. Heb.10 10 12.
