  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi to all , and there will always be confusion as to when the Body of Christ began !!

First it began with one man , called SAUL , in Acts 9:1-6 , and that , man was given the Revelation of the Mystery in Rom 16:25 .

We see from 1 Cor 12:27 and Rom 12:5 that the Body of Christ is mention , before PAUL wrote Ephesians !!

In Acts 9:6 , SAUL says , " LORD what wilth thou have me do " .

In 1 Cor 12:3 , " and no man can say that Jesus is LORD , but by the Holy Spirit ".

There are 5 verb tenses in 1 Cor 12:3 !!

#1 , UNDERSTAND / GNORIZO which is in the Present Tense !!

#2 , SPEAKING / LALEO , also in the Present Tense !!

#3 , CALLETH / LEGO , in the Present Tense !!

#4 , CAN /DYNAMAI , in the Present Tense !!

#5 , SAY / EIPON , in the Aorist tense !!

The Present Tense , means that it is a CONTINUOUS PRESENT and it represents Continuous action in the PRESENT TIME !!

This , then means that when SAUL said Lord , Saul had the Holy Spirit !!

SAUL was the PROTOS/FIRST one in the Body pf Christ to be INDWELLTH with the Holy Spirit !!

Eph 1:13 , says that " after ye believed , ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise ".

This then means that SAUL was the PROTOS /FIRST in the Body of Christ and the Body of Christ BEGAN in Acts 9:6 !!

Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 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: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

In this verse? where is Paul?

1 cor 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase

Matt 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them

With in the context this is right before acts

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Acts 1: 26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Exactly where this happened .... 40 days after his resurrection before the other Helper coming

Jn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Who is this .... Holy Spirit !


Since Christ fulfilled the law .... matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

When was it fulfilled ?

Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

What happened to redeem them?

eph 1:13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

1 cor 12:13For by one Spirit are we all baptized[put] into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Why is this important ?

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world

This was during Law ! look at 1 cor 12:13 did Paul put people in Christ or just teach new revelation ?

What was Taught ? If the 11 disciples where teaching new revelation but not the depth that Paul was ordained to teach?

Jn 13-17 .... the Lords supper the night before His death

seed truth .... for what was to come

Why?

jn 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Why?

jn 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Why?

Hi , and I will srart a new thread on what ETHNOS really means in Matt 28:19 and 20 !!

ETHNOS can be translated by the following English words :

#1 , HEATHEN
#2 , GENTILE
#3 , JEWISH NATION
#4 , NATION
#5 , RACE

So , what does it mean in Matt 28:19 and 20 ??

I believe it is scripture also , BUT many of the Contexts are Wrong !!

So , we are to go and Baptize ??

Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all gentile nations, baptizing Acts 2:36 them in the singularname of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe[Guard] all [John 13-17] things whatsoever I have commanded[jn 15:14-17, jn 13:34-35,jn 14:15,21, 2 cor 9:7, jn 15:10] you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
