Good afternoon everyone. Hope we are all doing greatly? Am Brother Ajah Kelvin and am doing this post to share my lessons on mass indoctrination Day 14
HIGHLIGHTS OF MAJOR LESSONS FROM THE TEACHING
(1). Baptism is the formal requirement for joining the church. During baptism our sins are washed away ie we are cleansed, hence change starts from baptism-Titus3:5. It's the nature of the rebirth.
(2) According to Ezekiel 7:23, we learnt that whatever that is commanded by God should be done in His house and the house of God is the church which is the pillar and ground of all truth. It is the house of God that the law of God is to be carried out.
(3) We also saw according to Matthew 28:19 that baptism is be done in the house of God. Christ instructed the disciples to baptized people that would receive the gospel in the name of the father and the name of the father is to be in the house of God.
(4). We also learnt that the church of God which God sanctify and puts His name is for eternal and can't be destroyed by any man. Hence, it's incorrect to say that the era of the church has ended
(5) We also learnt that baptism is an act of faith and it should be done in the name of the father and in the church.
(6) According to Exodus 20:7,we learnt there that we are not to take the name of the Lord in vain. we shouldn't put His name anywhere but it's to be in His house.
(7) We also learnt that we should be watchful for those who are out there to use the name of the Lord to deceive many; they use His name to preach wrong doctrine -Matthew 24:4-5.
(8) We also learnt that during the period of baptism that it is recommended except for any medical reason.
(9) We also learnt that baptism isn't for children as we see in today in some churches.
MY OLD BELIEF
(1) I use to think that with or without baptism one can still be integrated into the church.
(2) I also used to belief that one can carryout baptism any where.
(3) I also didn't know before now that there is difference between baptise in and baptise with.
MY NEW RESOLUTIONS
(1). I now know that before one can be added to the church, one must accept the word of Christ, believe his doctrine and be baptized
(2). I now that baptism is to be carried out in the church and not just anywhere because the law is to be practiced in the house of God and baptism is one of the law.
(3). I now know that during baptism, we aren't just physically being deep into the water but it has a deeper spiritual implication ie we are being washed away from our sins. Baptism brings about cleansing of the soul. It's a sign of the rebirth.
Hope we are blessed too going through the post. God bless us all as we keep giving ourselves to studying of God's word
