Today 12:18pm Lee Kincannon I tried to put this on your page it said it was blocked .Do you not want to hear from me ? I will be alright with that if you want to do so . But I want to say its been nice talking to you and discussing the Bible in every day things that happen to us . I enclose the letter Dear Novencita Noyo Dulce, Many times we think of the question of what is Gods will ? Some think it’s a new pair of Tennis shoes, a new dress or even a new Car , a trip or a new Job , or a new Boyfriend it’s the same world wide. But what is it really ? What does the Bible really teach? Lets look at Jesus first ? Water Baptism of Christian Jesus and disciples. We know Jesus and his followers had very few material things right? But were very happy Jehovah provided the necessary things for life. Jesus’ first disciples were baptized in water by John and then directed to Jesus as prospective members of the Kingdom of heaven. (John 3:25-30) Under Jesus’ direction these disciples also did some baptizing, which had the same significance as John’s baptism. (John 4:1, 2) However, starting with Pentecost 33 C.E., they began to fulfill the commission to baptize “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) You will find it very beneficial to review what that means. What does it mean to be baptized “in the name of the Father”? It means accepting his name, office, authority, purpose, and laws. Consider what this involves. (1) Concerning his name, Psalm 83:18 says: “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” (2) Regarding his office, 2 Kings 19:15 states: “O Jehovah . . . , you alone are the true God.” (3) Of his authority, Revelation 4:11 tells us: “You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.” (4) We must also acknowledge that Jehovah is the Life-Giver, who purposes to save us from sin and death: “Salvation belongs to Jehovah.” (Psalm 3:8; 36:9) (5) We need to accept that Jehovah is the Supreme Law-Giver: “Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is our Statute-giver, Jehovah is our King.” (Isaiah 33:22) Because he is all those things, we are urged: “You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.”—Matthew 22:37. Very interesting , what does baptism in the name of the son mean ? Have to go will try to get back later. I wrote you this morning . Sincerely,
