21 - Greetings! Have the blessings from God today. Hear Him again.

An Apostolic is set apart because there is a cutting edge of life. With every new moment, God comes into the world with fresh mercies. It is God's way of keeping His Truth alive. We stand guard on this cutting edge.

The Apostolic difference is this.
God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Stay humble. God turns the wisdom of the wise backwards when they reject His truth. He raises the wisdom of an Apostolic when they pursue His truth. The wisdom from the beginning was to continue steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine that Jesus formulated for them.

Christianity is divided. It is of their own choosing. They put a space between themselves and the main stream when they took the parable that was intended to prove the true identity of Jesus and used it for a baptismal formula. They clouded their own vision and did not realize it.

When you use a scripture for something that was not intended, you make that scripture void and of none effect. Matthew 28:19 is a parable of the Name. It was not intended to be used, and thus in the Bible never used, as a formula for baptism. Jesus commanded them to baptize in the Name of, not in the descriptive titles of a position.

A title describes a position. A title describes the authority of the named person. The name spoken carries with it the authority of the title. Matthew 28:19 is a scripture showing who Jesus is. All three titles fit His one Name , the same as all five titles in Isaiah 9:6 fit His one name. These five titles are Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Think about that.

Jesus made it clear in Luke 24:45-47 that it was written, and needful, for Him to suffer and die, and be raised from the dead the third day. The performance of this would make valid His doctrine of repentance and remission of sins to be preached in His Name among all nations starting at Jerusalem. This was properly called the apostles doctrine in Acts 2:42. This doctrine could not stop with the apostles. They were not the mastermind of these words.

Thank you for reading this. Take the books of Luke and Acts and become a doer of the work in 2007.

Look at my book: LUKE. THE DEVILS WORST ENEMY. Luke is still doing damage to Satan today.
