God makes a distinction...

[Joe67]

The baptism of the holy Spirit is as follows.

Rom 6:3-4
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. KJV

Then we are baptized with fire (fiery trials).

2 Cor 4:10-12
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. KJV

This experience does not come through delighting in the Law and/or the promises only. This experience comes when the sin that dwells in our flesh comes alive and slays us as we delight in the spiritual quality of the law through the inner man as the Voice of the Lord speaks to our conscience, then the law of the Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus raises us up and the lusts of this life are crucified as the body of sin is put to death.

This experience was given to Abraham at the age of 99 and onward as the Sovereign Lord spoke to Abraham what he wanted Abraham to do and as he spoke what he was going to do. Abraham's liberty as made manifest in Hagar and Ishmael had to be cut off and eventually sent out of the camp.

Rom 6:6-8
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
KJV

Does true worship hinge on the day it's offered? If SDAs worship God on Wednesday, is their worship untrue? If we offer untrue worship, are we in danger of the mark of the beast?

The short answer to this question would be no. If anyone of you answers yes, then you all need to stop scheduling prayer meeting on Wednesday night.

I sense that too.

I similarly wonder why God would be displeased if I worshipped Him on a Sunday. Are we going to cancel any Revelation Seminars and Camp Meetings scheduled on Sundays to avoid the appearance that Sunday is the new and improved sabbath?

See now, BFA, I deleted the portion of my post that went into the seminars and campmeeting, etc. We are good for beginning our revivals, evangelistic efforts on a Sunday night. And, correct me if I am wrong, but there are worship "services" every night at camp meeting.

An even better question, do we believe that God is "less present" at the services held on other days?

I hope not. It only takes 2 or 3.

True, according to the Bible, but we both know too many areas of doublemindedness that exist.
