1. 3/4/2008 -- Bible Study on the Revelation
of the Promise SEED. -- By Pastor Vince Avery --
ALL who Believe in Christ Jesus are Israelites, Jews and Hebrews. If you will PRAY and take
time an study this document, it will reveal to you the Revelation of the PROMISE SEED.
Today we hear a lot of preaching and teaching about Israel. How that we as Christians should
pray for Jerusalem and it's peace. There are those who believe that Replacement Theology is incorrect. Replacement Theology
is the Doctrine that says The Gentile Church (i.e. New Testament Believers) have replaced Israel as the Church.
I will show you (BY THE SCRIPTURE,) that the intention for replacement theology
was never intended to be an anti-Semitic (i.e. anti - Jewish) doctrine.
A better term for this doctrine is "Unity Theology". Unity Theology is a legitimate Biblical
Teaching. This article will show you the revelation of the "SEED PROMISE" God made to Abraham.
We will began in Genesis where God, who CANNOT lie, promised the Gospel.
Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying,
Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward
of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house
is mine heir.
Gen 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir;
but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars,
if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
This is the FIRST time God spoke to Abraham about his SEED. Notice here that the WORD of Promise
is to Abraham's SEED.
Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and
said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for
a father of many nations have I made thee.
Gen 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings
shall come out of thee.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Gen 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a
stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed
after thee in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the
covenant between me and you.
Gen 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your
generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Gen 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be
circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that
soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai,
but Sarah shall her name be.
Gen 17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and
she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child
be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his
name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him
fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this
set time in the next year.
Gen 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
God Promises Abraham in this text that He (God) will ESTABLISH HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT with
Isaac, who is the Child (seed) of Promise.
The first time we here the Gospel message to ALL NATIONS (i.e. Jews, and Gentiles) was in Genesis
chapter 18. As it is written: Gen 18:18 Seeing that Abraham
shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Gen 18:19 For I know
him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice
and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time in Gen. 22 saying --- Gen 22:15 And the angel of the LORD
called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this
thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as
the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed
my voice.
Notice here that God promises to Abraham that ALL NATIONS of the Earth will be blessed because
Abraham OBEYED God.
Also we can see that the "Gospel" was preached some 430 years BEFORE the Law of Moses
was. Thus giving the Gospel to the Gentiles first. You see Abraham was Uncircumcised when he received the PROMISE. As it is
written: Gal 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be
blessed. Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works
of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written
in the book of the law to do them. Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for,
The just shall live by faith.
This in no way form or fashion degrades the Jewish nation because there was a profit to
the Jews. As it is contained in the Scripture: Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Rom 3:2 Much every
way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their
unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
There was never a people called Jews or Hebrews until God spoke to Abraham thus separating
him from his people to become God's chosen people. Which is exactly what the Word Jew and Hebrew means
( Jew = H3064 - yehu^di^y / yeh-hoo-dee' = from H3063; a Jehudite
(that is, Judaite or Jew), H3063 = yehu^da^h / yeh-hoo-daw' = celebrated; Jehudah (or Judah), Gen 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre
the Amorite, --- Hebrew = H5680 = ‛ibri^y / ib-ree' = from H5674; an Eberite (that is,
Hebrew) H5674 = ‛a^bar / aw-bar' = A primitive
root; to cross over; - alienate, seperate, and translate,
So we can see, by the original language, that Hebrew simply means to be seperated for a praise.
Now we will examine by the Scripture that when you BELIEVE in Christ Jesus, who is the SEED
promise, then you are no longer a Gentile but are translated, by the Gospel, into a new creature and you become a HEBREW /
JEW through the Promise SEED.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds,
as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed
before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the
promise of none effect. Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham
by promise. Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to
whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
See here Paul preaches that the "Promise SEED" is Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:22 But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of
Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto
the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that
we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal 3:26 For
ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise.
The apostle Paul was HATED for preaching that the Gentile were just as much God's people, through
the Promise / Gospel, as the Jews were.
Let's look at some of Paul's reasoning and justification for this revelation. Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is
outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit,
and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
AGAIN: Eph 1:9
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
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,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.
Eph 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all
the saints,
Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit
of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope
of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according
to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things
to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
AGAIN: Eph 3:3
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel:
You see Paul preached that The SEED promise IS THE GOSPEL OF GOD.
Saying : Eph 2:10 For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
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;
Eph 2:12 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:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the
enmity thereby:
Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
This TEXT of Scripture is such an extraordinary example of the "UNITY THEOLOGY that I am talking
about. Notice here is Eph. 2:15 that through the BLOOD of Jesus' CROSS, the Promise God made to Abraham is fulfilled which
said " In thy SEED (which is Christ) ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED".
Jesus taught this message of "Unity Theology in His Doctrine also saying: " Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
All the WORD of God gives testimony to this truth.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The heart of the apostle Paul was to make ALL men see this "MYSTERY" (i.e. the Jew and Gentile
are ONE people in CHRIST JESUS. The Scripture said "ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED" ISRAEL is the CHURCH. Those who believe the
Gospel are heirs of God through His Son JESUS.
The Believer is Israel. -- As it is written:
Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Rom
9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise
are counted for the seed. Rom 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
We conclude that TRUE ISRAEL are those who OBEY the Gospel.

Election Bible Study
We cannot deny this FACT "God so loved the WORLD" --- God loves all humanity therefore the idea that
only a select few are given the opportunity to partake of His great salvation in Christ is absolutely false and contrary to
the nature of God.
Some use the scripture in Acts 13:48 trying to prove pre-ordination but the word "ordained" is a different
Greek word that that used in, for instance Acts 14:23, .. For example. Act 14:23 And1161 when they had ordained5500 them846 elders4245 in every church,2596, 1577 and had prayed4336 with3326 fasting,3521 they commended3908 them846 to the3588 Lord,2962 on1519
whom3739 they
believed.4100
Ordained = G5500 - cheirotoneō
\\\\ khi-rot-on-eh'-o - to select or appoint: - choose, ordain. (this difinition is in total agreement with our English
difenition (WEBSTERS 1828 Dictionary = ORDA'INED, pp. Appointed; instituted; established; invested with ministerial or pastoral
functions; settled.
Whereas in Acts 13:48 the word is: Act 13:48 And1161 when the3588 Gentiles1484 heard191 this, they were glad,5463 and2532 glorified1392 the3588 word3056
of the3588 Lord:2962 and2532 as many as3745 were2258 ordained5021 to1519 eternal166 life2222
believed.4100
Ordained = G5021 - tassō \\\\ tas'-so - to arrange in an orderly
manner, that is, assign, addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.
This word gives a sense of who ever will addict themselves
to the word of God are ordained to everlasting life....
Also an interesting point to make is that neither of this Scripture's speak nor even insinuate PRE-
ordination.
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good
or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her,
The elder shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob
have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this
present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then
is it no more of works: otherwise
grace is no more grace. But if it be
of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath
not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election, they
are beloved for
the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling
of God are without
repentance.
1Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved,
your election
of God.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather,
brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2Pe 1:11 For so an entrance shall
be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
ELEC'TION, n. [L. electio.] The act of choosing; choice; the act of selecting one or more
from others. 5. In theology, divine choice; predetermination of God, by which persons are distinguished as objects of mercy,
become subjects of grace, are sanctified and prepared for heaven.Election = I beleive , according to the Scripture, that Election simply means that it is GOD ONLY who does the
selecting. Man, (ie carnality) cannot and will not be allowed by the Lord to do the selecting. Because mans heart is wicked
by nature and he would always make the wrong choice.
Therefore "Election" comes from God because He alone knows the purpose and intents of EVERY persons
heart, because our spirit came from God.
I can see why persons would look at this and think that God already Pre-Chose who He would have mercy
on because of the way it reads. The CALLING of God is where ELECTION stands. It is not about the individual but it is CERTAINLY
ALL about the CALLING.
Calling (Rom. 11:29) = G2821 - klēsis \\\ klay'-sis = an invitation (figuratively):
- calling.
So we see God INVITES all who will respond to the Gospel.
And the reality is that God is NOT willing that ANY should perish. Although this does not mean that
ALL will respond, but ALL will be given the oportunity to hear and the choice to chose.
It would not be JUST to create people for the purpose of damnation.
The Scripture plainly says : 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Again: Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter
of persons:
Act 10:35 But in every nation
he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children
of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout
all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus
of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
Act 10:39 And we are witnesses
of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Act 10:40 Him God raised up the
third day, and showed him openly;
Act 10:41 Not to all the people,
but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Act 10:42 And he commanded us
to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Act 10:43 To him give all the
prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake
these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision
which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the
Holy Ghost.
Act 10:46 For they heard them
speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Act 10:47 Can any man forbid
water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Act 10:48 And he commanded them
to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
We cannot deny this FACT "God so loved the WORLD" --- God loves all humanity therefore the idea that
only a select few are given the oportunity to partake of His great salvation in Christ is absolutly false and contrary to
the nature of God.
This concept promotes "Individualism" and breeds schism in the body of Christ. Mankind has always struggled
with "one race supremecy" and this form of so called "election" is no different. God Elects IN CHRIST, chooses IN CHRIST,
calls IN CHRIST, knows IN CHRIST, it was JESUS the CHRIST of God who was predestined before the world began to be the redeemer,
reconciler, and sanctifier..... The PLAN of salvation was forordained, elected, and predestined not CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS....
As it is written: 1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world,
but was manifest in these last times for you, 1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith
and hope might be in God.
You see it was HIM, not specific individuals, who was before the foundation of the WORLD....
If this were true, (ie only so called "predetermined elected ones could be saved) there would be no
need for evangelism. Why would we be commisioned to "go into ALL the world" and "preach the gospel to every creature" if every
person could not have the same equal opportunity to believe. And why did Jesus go to ALL the villages and communites and towns...
Why didn't He just go to "Elected individuals" and tell them it was time to be choosen.... As it is written:
Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the
faithful in Christ Jesus:
Eph 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father,
and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 According as he hath
chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the
glory of his grace, wherein he hath made
us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded
toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation
of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we should be to
the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
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,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest
of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
The Whole purpose of Predestination here was "IN HIM" : "IN CHRIST" ---- God's "PLAN" that Christ
Jesus would be the redeemer, savior, and reconciler was what was forordained and predetermined. God predetermined before the
world began that ALL who come to HIM through the DOOR of Christ would be delivered and saved...
There are to many Scripture's that speak of "ALL men" or "EVERY man" or "WHOSOEVER believeth" and "Whosoever
shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved"...... God is no respecter of persons. Every man has equal opportunity to
be saved IN CHRIST JESUS the LORD...... If when the Gospel is preach and any will believe they can be saved...
Rev 22:16 I Jesus
have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root
and the offspring of David, and the bright and
morning star.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and
the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall
take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the
holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book.

until this time the only way they ever prononced it in Hebrew
was H3068 = yehôvâh (our Jehovah).
This is why in the original Hebrew text the
WORD " LORD" derived from the word " yehovah" , the same word we (english) get our Jehovah.

she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Mat. 1:19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example,
was minded to put her away privily.
Mat. 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of
the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son
of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for
that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Mat. 1:21 And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat. 1:22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat. 1:23 Behold, a
virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with

Christ (anointed or The anointed)
Websters = CHRIST, n. THE ANOINTED;
an appellation given to the Savior of the World, and synonymous
with the Hebrew Messiah. It was a custom of antiquity to
consecrate persons to the sacerdotal and regal offices by anointing
them with oil.
The Hebrew word for Christ is MESSIAH
- H4899 mâshîyach / maw-shee'-akh. From H4886; anointed; usually
a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint); specifically the
Messiah: - anointed, Messiah. H4886 mâshach
/ maw-shakh' A primitive root; to rub with
oil, that is, to anoint; by implication to consecrate; also to
paint: - anoint, paint.
Messiah (smith's dic.) = Messi'ah. (anointed). This
word, (Mashiach), in the Old Testament, answers to the word Christ,
( Christos), in the New Testament, and is applicable in its first
sense, to any one anointed with the holy oil.
This word (Messiah) also refers to the expected Prince of
the Chosen People who was to complete God's purposes for them, and
to redeem them, and of whose coming, the prophets of the
Old Covenant, in all time, spoke. He was the Messiah, The
Anointed, that is, consecrated as the King and Prophet by God's
appointment.
The word is twice used
in the New Testament of Jesus. Joh_1:41; Joh_4:25. Authorized Version, "Messias."
Ref. = Dan 9:25 , Dan
9:26 , Joh 1:41 , Joh 4:25 The
woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is
called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Rev. 19:12
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name
written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev. 19:13
And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word
of God.
Rev. 19:16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
KING, n. (websters) = . The chief or
sovereign of a nation; a man invested with supreme authority over
a nation, tribe or country; a monarch. Kings are hereditary
sovereigns, when they hold the powers of government by right of
birth or inheritance, and elective, when raised to the throne

Christ is called the king of his church. Psa. 2 KING, G935
basileus / bas-il-yooce' =

No wonder Jesus wanted us to be BAPTIZED IN HIS
NAME (not just water baptisim) But NAME Baptisim.
AS it is written : Heb.
6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms,
and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead,
and of eternal judgment. And again : Mat. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Now when they heard this, they
were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to
the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

What must I do to be SAVED
The question that every man that has ever lived
on the face of this earth is, How, What, and Where
is salvation?
How you get saved is very important. The scripture
teaches us (King James Version) (KJV) that there are many false prophets
with false gospels. Therefore there must be many false conversions.
What is Salvation? Coming to an understanding that
you are a transgressor against Jesus (who is the great God ,and eternal life) is
the first step to obtaining repentance from God Almighty.
Where is salvation? According to the word of
God salvation and eternal life exist only in the person
of Jesus Christ. Faith in HIS NAME is the access God
has provided for man to enter into His glory..
Below I will show by the scriptures the
provision that God Almighty has given to save
our souls from eternal damnation.
First we must examine how to be
born again. As it is written " A man MUST be born again
to see the kingdom of God " Joh
3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh
3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mother's womb, and be born? Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
There are many
who have preached a gospel that says " all you have
to do is accept Jesus to be your personal savior and you
are saved" but this is contrary to the gospel according
to godliness. God has forwarned us that men of corrupt minds
would come in the last days teaching the fear of God by
the precepts of Man.
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart
far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Isa 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even
a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding
of their prudent men shall be hid.
Also it is said by many that "all you
have to do is believe that God raised Jesus from the dead
and confess that with your mouth and you are saved". Again
this is contrary to biblical principles concerning THE WAY TO
GET SAVED.. The Word of God teaches us that we have
all sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3)
and again .. there is none righteous, NO NOT ONE. And again
We where all as sheep gone astray.
The Word of God is very plain spoken and that
in simplicity that a man is saved if He will REPENT and
TURN from his wicked ways, be babtized in the NAME of JESUS
for the remmission of sins, and whosoever will do this shall
be filled with the HOLY GHOST. Thus You are BORN again ,
old things are passed away, BEHOLD ALL things are become new.
Also it is written :
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that God
was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of reconciliation. 2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.
You see we cannot remain a sinner after conversion
to Christ.. He was made sin for us that we might be
made righteous. We cannot continue in sin fulfilling the lust
of our flesh, and the lust of our eyes, and being full of
pride and haughtiness. Why? Because being BORN AGAIN means
just that, BECOMING a new person in Christ. That is
taking on HIS nature and crucifying our nature.
__________________________________________________________
WHAT IS
SALVATION?
The next thing we need to examine is WHAT is salvation?
What does it mean to be saved? What are we saved from?
The need for salvation is inside every man. There is
a cry deep in the spirit of every man longing to be
saved from death, hell and the grave.
Here are a few things the scripture says concerning nature
of salvation. What it is and why we need God's salvation.
Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not,
stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today,
ye shall see them again no more forever.
Exo 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exo 15:2 The LORD is
my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him
a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Psa 119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Psa 119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
Psa 119:156 Great are thy
tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
Isa 12:2 Behold, God is
my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isa 12:3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isa 12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make
mention that his name is exalted. Isa 12:5 Sing
unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Isa 12:6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
Isa 52:6
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall
know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold,
it is I. Isa
52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth
peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! sa 52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
Isa 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places
of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Isa 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes
of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Isa
52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;
go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. Isa
52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and
the God of Israel will be your rearward. Isa 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted
and extolled, and be very high. Isa 52:14 As many
were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: Isa 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their
mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Isa 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto
the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed
of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Act 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing
ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
Act 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation
of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Act 28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed,
and had great reasoning among themselves.
Act 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house,
and received all that came in unto him,
Act 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those
things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
2Co 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard
thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is
the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation
not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for
you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the
Spirit and belief of the truth: 2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called
you by our gospel 2Th 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold
the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2Th
2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath
given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 2Th 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men, Tit 2:12 Teaching us
that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Tit 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works. salvation.
We see according
to Gods word that SALVATION is to be changed from a sinner
into a child of the living God.
_____________________________________________________
Next
let us examine the question. WHERE is Salvation.
Many voices are teaching that
man can be saved by what evr way he so choses to believe
in God.. Or Whatever man choses God to be is OK with
God. This again is contrary to the TRUTH..
The Bible proclaims that JESUS is
God's way to save humanity.. Whosoever will believe in Jesus shall
not be put to shame. God has appointed tribulation and anquish
unto every soul that doeth evil. But God has appointed glory,
honor and peace to every soul that doeth righteousness.
The question is WHERE is SALVATION?
IT is written:
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at naught of
you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be s
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience
by the things which he suffered; Heb 5:9 And being made perfect,
he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower
than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for
every man. Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain
of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Heb 2:11
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is
not ashamed to call them brethren, Heb 2:12 Saying, I will
declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God
hath given me. Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Heb 2:15
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Luk 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare
his ways; Luk 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people
by the remission of their sins, Luk 1:78 Through the tender
mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, Luk 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet
into the way of peace.
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, Eph 1:14 Which
is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together
with him. 1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning
chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2Th
2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's
sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2Ti 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him,
he also will deny us: 2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy
Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
1Pe 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls. 1Pe 1:10
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the
things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from
heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 1Pe 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ; 1Pe 1:14 As obedient children,
not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 1Pe
1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth
according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition
from your fathers; 1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood
of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and
gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 1Pe 1:24
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth,
and the flower thereof falleth away: 1Pe 1:25
But the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
So we see that the only
salvation that God offers Man is through HIS SON JESUS CHRIST..
A man must be RE- BIRTHed to see God's kingdom.
God Bless you in deed.
