Download or read book Have you truly been born again of water and the Spirit written by Rev. Paul C. Jong and published by Hephzibah Publishing House. This book was released on with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title's main subject is "to be born again of Water and the Spirit." It has the originality on the subject. In other words, this book clearly tells us what being born again is and how to be born again of water and the Spirit in strict accordance with the Bible. The water symbolizes the baptism of Jesus at the Jordan and the Bible says that all our sins were passed on to Jesus when He was baptized by John the Baptist. John was the representative of all mankind and a descendant of Aaron the High priest. Aaron laid his hands on the head of the scapegoat and passed all the yearly sins of the Israelites onto it on the Day of Atonement. It is a shadow of the good things to come. The baptism of Jesus is the antitype of the laying on of hands. Jesus was baptized in the form of the laying on of hands at the Jordan. So He took away all the sins of the world through His baptism and was crucified to pay for the sins. But most Christians don't know why Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan. Jesus' baptism is the keyword of this book, and the indispensable part of the Gospel of Water and the Spirit. We can be born again only by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His Cross. CONTENTS 1.

Download or read book Word Water and Spirit written by John V. Fesko and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book represents a substantial accomplishment, one that provides a useful resource for those wanting to deepen their understanding of the sacraments, particularly baptism. Reflecting a massive amount of research, against the background of an in-depth survey of various views of baptism in church history, Fesko provides an extensive exegetical and biblical-theological study of the covenantal and eschatological significance of baptism followed by systematic theological reflections on key issues like baptism as a means of grace, the efficacy of baptism, the biblical warrant for infant baptism (and against paedocommunion) and the importance of baptism for the church. One need not agree with his reflections at every point to benefit from his considerable labors." - Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary

Download or read book Gospelbound written by Collin Hansen and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is believer’s baptism the clear teaching of the New Testament Scriptures? What are the historical and theological challenges to believer’s baptism? What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? Volume two in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses these compelling questions. Indeed, Believer’s Baptism begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Are You In Christ"" The local church is not what it used to be originally given to us by the Apostolic people in bible days.The original church pattern we see in Acts 2:46 was founded by the Apostles and Prophets, and its time we got back to that. So this book is designed to be giving you the right mind set for God to speak to us like He did with the original pattern.This book was started as an introduction to an idea of a real mature video bible school for the leadership change that is taking place in the body of Christ to-day. International Christian Community-Video Bible School will be given birth from some of the teaching from this book.So its important that we get the support we need to launch this brand new concept of teaching through the participation of the whole body of Christ without a denominational strongholds looking at the guidelines through the biblical Word of God.

This book was released on 2016-05-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven is such an important number. It means finished, completed, rest. In this lesson we are exploring the seven levels of water and spirit, with an excerpt on the kingdom of water. We begin with the history of water, and the many historical uses and purposes of water; to do so we had to study biblical history where we found what occurred in the beginning. This historical study reveals that there were seven levels of water. Mist, dew, rain, wells, rivers, waters of the atmosphere, waters of the deep and the underworld. These levels of water also relate to the seven manifestations of the spirit. This information is a source of revelation, inspiration and study for readers.
