“A BAPTIST WHO FOLLOWS JESUS”
“A BAPTIST
WHO FOLLOWS JESUS”
EXPLANATION:
ARE THESE
BAPTISTS SAVED?
I
don’t
know.
ARE THESE
BAPTISTS CHRISTIANS?
I
don’t
know.
WHY DO YOU
CALL THEM 8TH DAY ADVENTISTS?
They
follow
Jesus and worship on Sunday.
WHAT IS A 7TH
DAY ADVENTIST?
They
follow
Jesus and worship on Saturday
IS THAT
THE
ONLY DIFFERENCE?
No
–
although Baptists profess to be born into the kingdom of God.
DO
BAPTISTS
KNOW WHAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS?
No
and
there’s the problem right there … a lack of knowledge.
WHY DO YOU
SAY THAT?
Because
Baptists believe that the kingdom of God is the same as the kingdom of
heaven.
WELL
AREN’T
THEY?
Chalk
and
cheese my dear friend – chalk and cheese.
WHAT’S THE
DIFFERENCE?
The
kingdom
of God is RECEIVED not manifested physically here on
earth (Rom
14:17).
The
kingdom
of heaven was to be a physical kingdom here on earth with
Christ when he
deliberately gave Israel an impossible set of earthly rules to
keep
(Matt 5-7).
I STILL
DON’T UNDERSTAND?
Baptists
don’t either.
SO ARE YOU
SAYING BAPTISTS ARE NOT BORN AGAIN?
Not
necessarily. Put it this way, ask them into what kingdom are they born.
WHY?
If
they say
“The kingdom of God”, what are they doing mucking about with the
kingdom of
heaven rules of the Sermon on the Mount?
I DON’T
UNDERSTAND?
Ask
them
why they are following Christ.
SHOULDN’T
WE FOLLOW CHRIST?
Of
course
not!
Where does
it say in the Bible that Christians are to follow Christ?
Christ was
a pork abstaining, Saturday worshipping and temple
attending Jew.
Furthermore,
he said the only way to have past sins forgiven was to kill animals
for a
blood sacrifice.
In
addition, he never ate prawns! CHRIST WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN!
As
professing Christians, why are Baptists trying to keep the Sermon on
the Mount
rules that were meant for Israel?
BUT SURELY
THERE’S VALUE IN TRYING TO LIVE RIGHT?
God
doesn’t
have a problem with that… but not with the impossible rules
given to
Israel! They were designed so they couldn’t be kept!
BUT AREN’T
THE RULES FOR A CHRISTIAN THE SAME?
Of
course
not. The rules for a Christian are found exclusively in Paul’s 13
books.
For
example, are your sins forgiven as a Christian even though you won’t
forgive
others?
YES!
But
Christ
says they aren’t (Matt
6:12; Lk
11:4)!
BUT SURELY
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS BLASPHEMY!
You’re
only
getting upset because your tradition is getting in the way.
You see
God
says “Come let us reason together” (Is
1:18).
BUT SURELY
BAPTISTS ARE WALKING IN THE SPIRIT?
How
can
they be? The Spirit agrees with the word
And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of
God: Ephesians
6:17
Furthermore,
the word is not open to private interpretation (2Pet
1:21).
WELL
BAPTISTS HAVE THE WORD OF GOD!
No
they
don’t. The word of God is The King James Bible.
WELL SOME
OF THEM HAVE THE KING JAMES BIBLE!
Yes,
but
they don’t believe it.
THEY DO SO!
No
they
don’t. Their church Constitutions have “We prefer the King
James Bible”
or “We use the King James Bible” but they never have “We BELIEVE
the King James Bible.”
They may
as
well have a Phantom Comic under their arms.
OF COURSE
THEY BELIEVE IT!
No
they
don’t. You
start mixing in the Greek and saying things like “A
deeper understanding with the
Greek is ….”
My dear
friend, the use of the Greek in a church is ALWAYS used to
undermine the
English, give another interpretation, substitute words, take verses out
of
context, add words and so on.
SO YOU’RE
SAYING BAPTISTS DON’T WALK IN THE SPIRIT?
No,
I don’t
say that … but God does!
WELL
WHAT’S
THAT MEAN?
It
means ALL
Baptist churches … yes, EVEN good, godly, independent King
James Bible using
or King James Bible preferring churches, ARE SPIRITUALLY
DEAD.
WOW!
THAT’S
A BIG CALL!
Do
you
think? The bottom line is this … some 8th Day
Adventists,
that is Baptists, may very well be born into the kingdom of
God, and
have eternal security, but they are still following Jesus and his
doctrine with
his kingdom of heaven rules here on earth.
You can’t
follow two people at once – you can’t follow Paul and follow Christ at
the same
time. The scriptures say Christians are to follow the Apostle Paul and
his
kingdom of God doctrine.
BUT SURELY
WE FOLLOW CHRIST?
We do, but not directly! Paul
shows us how to as Christians – not as Jews!
Put it
this
way, as a Christian we are in Christ, and will be conformed to his
image (Rom
8:29), but
we don’t follow him as a Jew!
Paul
says
Wherefore I beseech you, be
ye followers of me.
1 Corinthians 4:16 and Be ye
followers of me, even as
I also am of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
Paul does
not say “Follow Christ!”, as to try and live two different doctrines at
the
same time is to be DOUBLE MINDED. You can’t have mixtures (1Cor 11:30).
You
can’t drive a Rolls Royce with a mixture
of water and petrol
in the tank.
You can’t
live the Christian life with a mixture of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount
doctrine
and the apostle Paul’s kingdom of God doctrine (1Cor 11:1).
WELL, IF
YOU’RE SO SMART, WHY ARE BAPTISTS DECEIVED?
Very
simple
… it’s called PRIDE, but the proud don’t know that their pride
allows
the angel of light to have access to them (Matt
15:6; 2Cor 11:14; 2Tim 4:3).
The best
way to describe the effects of pride is as follows.
Sodomites (‘homosexuals’)
are
proud to be known as proud. They have Pride Marches in public spaces.
They wear
their sin with pride.
The blind
men of Sodom physically groped around in the night (Gen
19:5) and
couldn’t find the door
(Gen
19:11).
Can we use
this pride analogy and also say Eighth Day Adventists
spiritually grope
in the dark also not knowing how to find the door (John
10:9)?
Pride blinds
the minds of the proud so they can’t see.
But pride
is near impossible to cure (Prov
16:18).
Have you
ever wondered why God would say in the scriptures
For the
time will come when they WILL NOT endure
sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts (and there
are three 1John
2:16) shall
they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2 Timothy 4:3
“What is
the reason for this
Lord” I have asked for many months.
People
of pride have stiff-necked wills, impenetrable wills and impervious to
reason.
It’s not as though they can’t believe … they won’t believe under
any
circumstances!
