You don't need a priest, or sacraments, or a "church", or a denomination, or charismatic 'gifts' or baptism or hierarchal permission, sanction nor absolution ...
**mow your own lawn and rake the leaves yourself.**
LOL! And repent and Confess your sins and, BELIEVE in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. (transubstantiation, that is.)
I had forgotten those words. I think you are correct.
**It beats me how anyone can rationalize their claim to accept Jesus Christ as God and Savior leading to their being guided the Holy Spirit and therefore correct in how they interpret His Word while at the same time they insist Holy Spirit is incapable of defending His Word from the inclusion of error but we see that all the time around here. **
So true, Jesus can save me, but I don’t believe in the Sacraments that were created by Christ. Would this be an example?
Not to the person who received it, that's why it's called a gift.
**mow your own lawn and rake the leaves yourself.**I prefer the simple Biblical method; Believe on Jesus and become Born Again...which brings repentance and confession our sins to Jesus.LOL! And repent and Confess your sins and, BELIEVE in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
(transubstantiation, that is.)And you were doing so well...
And...
Luke 22:19,20And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. [take and drink]
“What religion is this and how do you help them, specifically”
Christianity, as taught by Jesus.
For some reason, ever since my NDE I can read people’s souls in detail from conception to current. This is true for ghosts or earthbound spirits even though they have no physical body. The person does not say one word prior to me doing this.
Further, I found that I feel people’s stored thoughts and memories and can remove them through prayer. It’s not me doing it but it is done through me by my Father in me. I’ve done this thousands of times over the past 20+ years. Sin feels solid and heavy almost like a rock while Love is light and uplifting. I’ve had people come up off the floor 15 feet away from me when I picked up heavy memories in their soul to remove them and the person was not ready to let them go.
My Father radiating through me protects me from harm. It doesn’t matter their intent to harm me as they are afraid of the Light and can’t come close. It’s exactly as Jesus taught His disciples.
To demonstrate how the human soul works I will often ask for volunteers I do not know. They close their eyes and I walk back 15 feet +- and stand in their soul. I can tell them what their mother thought of their father when they were in her womb. It’s science, not hocus pocus. I’ve done it in the Divinity School and in the Medical School for groups just to help them understand the soul.
Often, when I touch the stored memory in their soul it will knock a person off their feet, even though I am many feet from them and their eyes are closed and I do not touch them in any manner. They can stand up and I can repeat the process over and over. I do this not to show off, but to teach the wisdom of Jesus and our Father.
I explain the neuroscience on how the physical body communicates with the soul and how/why we create illness.
The key is to always stay in a mind of Love and compassion and never allow fear or anger to enter you. If you lower yourself to the level of the earthbound spirit, you lose. I don’t care how bad they are or how often they threaten to kill me, I Love them. Love truly conquers all.
These spirits are created by the same Loving Father that created me. I help them to redeem themselves and move to Heaven.
There are some spirits that are not to be sent to Heaven. That is the reason for the dark realm between here and heaven that most see the bright light to guide them through when they die. It acts as a literal fence for souls that are to be kept out of Heaven. I’ve passed through this dark area many times and returned back here, much to my dismay. The soul field I read contains the same memories in sequence that create the life review or judgment experience people describe when dying. (also Hebrews 9:28)
When you are truly “Born of the Spirit”, a whole new world of perception opens up. You begin to perceive from your soul outside your physical body rather than just with your physical senses. Allow me to correct that statement, your soul and the souls of others becomes physical & tangible to your perception.
(going out on a limb here ...)
ISN'T born again ... ISN'T saved ...ISN'T going to heaven when they die.
You are not going out on a limb.
You are standing on a Rock.
Born Again Christians don't believe in a neutered Holy Spirit that indwells believers.The Holy Spirit that indwells us is one with the Father and Son. The Holy Spirit not only comforts us, but also convicts us of our sins and by doing so helps us to change.
Asking questions of Catholics is now bullying it seems.
Just like Mormons, it’s sad.
“What’s the difference between getting saved and “truly” getting saved? “
Most people who think they are “saved” or “Born Again” have surrendered the wrong direction and their faith is empty, but they don’t know it.
Then you must have never read the RC one i was responding to, as it is another RC assertion substituting for an argument, and thus i asked questions as to what his/her conclusion was, which calls for further exchange.
It is the RCs that do the most bullying, under the premise that Rome, or an RC, has spoken, so the matter is settled. But it is not.
Much truth in your wise words....
Mules and draft style horses instead of tractors.
No warfare with bees though, just a little smoke and they calm down. (Yea I know, chemical warfare...)
Spiritual warfare, been involved in that a lot.
But all after receiving salvation as a FREE GIFT, no work involved.
In fact if you try to work your way into heaven, it won't work.
And honey? That comes from bee hives
I imagine John the Baptist got honey from holes and trees, logs etc.
And check this out, honey is found in unusual places as back in the day:
And after a time he (Samson) returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.--Judges 14:8
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Catholics are born anew when they are baptized.
Are you baptized?
Try hanging out with Christians.
It's best to stay away from false religionists.
There is no doubting the scriptures which you have set forward. That original, clear and unambiguous model is the one to stick with.
I was born again at the moment that Jesus gave me eternal life.
Catholics can wait until they are baptized if they wish too.
The thief on the cross wasn’t baptized, do you think that he is with Jesus?
Second!
For both operate under the same sola ecclesia premise, the church being supreme and irrefutable, thus asking challenging questions is an affront to them.
Well, that is not something i have seen here before. Can read the souls of the people who post to you? Best not try; mind reading is forbidden by the RM.
Often, when I touch the stored memory in their soul it will knock a person off their feet, even though I am many feet from them and their eyes are closed and I do not touch them in any manner. They can stand up and I can repeat the process over and over. I do this not to show off, but to teach the wisdom of Jesus and our Father.
My deception sensor continues to rise. What group/church do you associate with?
When you are truly “Born of the Spirit”, a whole new world of perception opens up.
And how would you define being born again and how?
