ONE BAPTISM



One Baptism

The doctrine of baptisms is among the elementary doctrine of Christ and it only takes a bit of honesty and common sense or reason to see, infer or conclude that the one baptism of Ephesians 4:5 is water baptism,  the one Christ, the one Lord, commanded in the great commission and that would last till the end of the world. Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16

 First, and the most obvious, those who practice water baptism and profess that there is a spiritual baptism that all believers experience before water baptism, have TWO baptisms and are in contradiction with the truth. Second, those who profess to experience baptism with the Holy Spirit and a spiritual baptism before water baptism are arguing for THREE baptism, far from the ONE BAPTISM; of course, the real and only occasions where the Spirit came were evidenced by manifestations of the Spirit. Acts 10:45-46; 11:15-16

So, the one faith of which the one Spirit is author, REVEALS that there is ONE BAPTISM in the one body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:7-13

God’s Universal doctrine on marriage and Unauthorized Sex





God’s Universal  and Unchanging doctrine on marriage and Unauthorized Sex

Married via a human declaration or Divine Decree?

See that no one seduces you through (“Evolving”) philosophy, worldly wisdom, the tradition of men, and rudiments of the world. Colossians 2:8



There are only two possible approaches when dealing with the concept of marriage, but only one of them can be taught using revelation consistently without contradiction. One option, it is from heaven, revealed by God and the other option, it is from men, established by human non- inspired regulations, in which case there would be no need to go to the inspired source.  This fact alone avoids a lot of confusion,
when defined and accepted.   Most people don’t really mean what they say when dealing with this topic. They are quick to profess that marriage is from heaven, given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and before you know it, they are arguing contrariwise in favor of some evolving human procedure.   

They keep on trying to make God’s universal doctrine line up with human national and evolving regulations.

The bible clearly reveals that sex with a prostitute is fornication or unauthorized sexual intercourse (sin against one’s own body, one body with her ) , though they might be singles, there is no purpose or commitment to form a new house or family as “ leave father and mother ” suggests or implies, this case is clearly not the scenario found in Matthew 19:4-6: 1 Corinthians 7:2, that is fornication or illicit or unauthorized sex. On the other hand, in 1 Corinthians 5:1 the Scripture also reveals that fornication occurred when someone had “his father’s woman”, again, we can see that it is not authorized because it is against “let every man  have his own woman, and let every woman have her own man.” So, God authorized every man to have his own woman, and every woman to have her own man, to avoid fornication, so, what avoids fornicationThe two passages cited above are in complete harmony, one reveals the authority and the other the procedure. 

In order to have his own woman a man is authorized to “leave father and mother, cleave to his woman and become one flesh for life”.

Living together with the intent or commitment to be one flesh for life without both being single is “πορνεια or fornication, and no pre or post ever- evolving national protocol will change the sinful nature of such relationships. It remains “πορνεια, illicit or illegal SEX, with or without civil law protocols, by what law? Civil law? NO, but by the inspired law of Christ. πορνεια has nothing whatsoever to do with subjection to civil laws, “πορνεια IS NOT INSUBORDINATION TO Romans 131-5 and parallel passages, a man made marriage contract does not determine which physical relationship is “πορνεια”, that is quite obvious, as there are many relations in complete harmony with human protocols, but they remain πορνεια” nonetheless.   Do you believe that Herod and Herodias and the other fornicator of 1 Corinthians 5 were guilty of insubordination to civil authorities or procedures, or cultural or societal protocols? There was an assumed marriage contract, it was supposedly in complete harmony with civil procedure, BUT IT STILL REMAINS “πορνεια” (sin against one’s own body), why is that the case? WHAT MAKES IT πορνεια? what avoids πορνεια? 
Failure to comply with Divine criteria or conditions, God ONLY authorized SINGLES, implied by “leave father and mother” which also implies the purpose and intention, change of roles, that is why we read “shall cleave to his woman” ( not the case of a prostitute, not the case of another man’s woman, but his own woman as authorized by God in 1 Corinthians 7:2) these factors, in conjunction with becoming one flesh (and God reveals where that happens in 1 Corinthians 6:16), are the sole determinants of what an approved marriage is. Signing a document or celebrating
a civil marriage does not make any couple fornicators, there is no sin against their bodies, the TWO are not one body.  What single step or procedure would have put an end to Herod and Herodias’ sinful marriage, legal action alone or termination of the physical relation alone? There is no marriage without the physical relation. What the Spirit revealed and recorded by inspiration is different from human laws and, though not palatable to many, they contradict each other because when non-inspired men invented their protocols all around the world at different times, they ignored and did not take into account what God had already said on the God -given institution, yes, they came up with something new, a different doctrine not received from nor inspired by the Holy Spirit, but supposedly by the authority of God.They established their own foreign- to -revelation regulations. Romans 10:3 So, marriage according to God's word is not marriage according to human laws.

So, the binding and the loosing is done via God’s inspired, living and active law (when conditions are met) NOT via any pre or post ever- evolving national protocol.



So, there is no binding before Divine conditions are met and there is no releasing without the cause of fornication (Divine condition), whatever pre or post human protocols you may add or include.
