GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION. (…Trinity’s foundation dug out continue)
Few days after my conversion; I witness a debate between the Pastor of the Nazarene Church where I went to the altar; and
the Pastor of the Baptist Church where I was invited to give my testimony; because I used to be a “door to door”
catholic-images sales man; I was told: “we all are brothers in Christ; it is the same thing”. The Nazarene Pastor
was defending the point that I still was in need of “the second gift of grace” …be sanctified by The Spirit.
The Baptist Pastor attested that I already had it; when I accepted Jesus. At that time, all it was Greek to me. And confusion
crept in immediately after my conversion!
Now days in the Nazarene Church and the Missionary Alliance Church; the second step of grace appears to be a thing of the
past. Ironically, among the Baptists and others, now and then it is heard “now I got it” “I found it.”
(I think the charismatic movement was born on the grounds of BAPTICOSTALS.)
Also on the early days of my conversion, the daughter of a Presbiterian Missionary who had asks me this question: Bro.
Gabriel, who you love the most, the Father that gave his Son for you, or the Son who died for you? Now I like to ask the same
question to the reader .The girl witnessing to me told me: …I am born again… (Also Greek to me) Weeks later, a
young man from the Assemblies of God told me “the second gift of grace is to receive the baptism of The Holy Spirit
and speaking in tongues.” More Greek to me. I was told that I had the Spirit since I received Jesus as Savior and that
speaking in tongues was evil.
Then I heard another Baptist Pastor giving me a rid home from his church saying about tongues of the Spirit’s baptism:
…we have it, but we do not use them… (How about that!)
I heard again and again “we all are sons of God; denominational differences does no matter; how you will be baptized
it makes not difference, a Methodist Pastor told me but a Baptist Missionary instruct me otherwise.
Then I learned that Church History shows the time how the “change” was made to annul baptism in the Name of
The Lord Jesus Acts 2:38 and the installation of the baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matt 28:19 and how a later time also promoters of the doctrine of the Trinity made up the wording that became A MENTAL CONCEPT
OF ORTHODOXY; EVEN TO OUR PRESENT TIME. (That is to say…I received the Holy Spirit when I accepted Jesus and I was born
by the Holy Spirit.) I didn’t realized that my instructors unknown to them, were building upon; mental concepts of orthodoxy
pretending that there were no differences; instead of …building upon the foundation of the Apostles Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone.” But when I learned by the Scriptures that …God is not the author of confusion…
and that one must …grow in grace and in the knowledge of The Lord Jesus Christ.… after being …born of Him…
as…The Quickening Spirit… …by the word of truth… to show ourselves …approved unto God…
in doing that, I found myself able to …escape from the pollutions (doctrinal winds) of the world… which are the
cause of spiritual child abuse by saying: you are a child of God, born again, Spirit filled; when you are not. That in my
case was mental adult abuse!
As stated earlier, a seeker of Truth, can see and know, how, when, why, where and by whom this crisis/ confusion in Christendom
began, truly; there is no excuse for good heads in Christendom to ignore the plain evidences on Church History; however, to
know exactly when Christendom began to misuse/misapply the words of the Apostle John …to as many as received him, to
them gave he the power to became the sons of God… it is not known; it appears to be, at the time of Calvin when also
the “double false” doctrine “once saved, always save” began, misapplying them words in order to win
a soul or to give security to a new believer according to the mentality of the preacher. As stated above in my case, it was
mental adult abuse.
This thing I know well now, what was or is; in the mind of a believer using such words from John 1:12 and what was in the
mind of the Apostle who wrote them; it was or is not the same thing. At the time those words were penned; The Church had been
in existence for many years and from day one …The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. …and
The Lord confirmed the word preached… Obviously the Apostles had the right message of salvation! It is why Apostle John
wrote in his old age, …believe not every (preacher)... ….for the truth’s sake which dwelleth in us and shall
be with us for ever. It was that for them only who have obeyed from heart the Apostles’ Doctrine to them saved
people; were directed the Apostles’ letters; them that “were buried with Him at baptism” therefore; “risen
with Him” “to a new life” it is the truth of the gospel. To be baptized for testimony and membership only
to a local church it is not Apostolic!
Exchanging notes with a Catholic Priest, I ask him; why the change “ in the name of Jesus” to in the titles
of Father, Son and Holy Ghost at baptism took place? 325 A.D. Here are his words: “It was easy for the Pope to do it.”
Since then; it has been easy for trinity preachers to say anything but the truth about baptism!
JOHN 1:12; …AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM… (I will put special time to this)
It is imperative to make special space to the above wording of Apostle John (The Theologian) I believe he wrote what he
thought as such, he knew exactly what he had in mind; writing “as many as received him;” he could not write different
of what was happening in the growing Church which had a beginning with three thousand people “calling on The Name of
The Lord to be saved receiving Him;” and everybody in the apostolic age got saved becoming sons of God the same one
way. Therefore the Apostle Paul very dogmatic wrote “But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.” Then, I was doing missionary work but on the grounds
of that curse unknowingly. So, I wanted my experience of conversion to be uniform to Apostolic standards and I did it.
Now then, on those grounds will I by the grace of God quote Paul in what in his time was to “Receive” The Lord
as Savior; for sure it was not as it is now days; a mental concept of orthodoxy! On his same letter the Apostle tell us how
“they” received Christ, and I write for the novice and for the experienced preacher, whoever that may be; this
teaching of Paul backed by his own baptism; disrupts the comfort zone and cherished beliefs of any preacher; “For (we)
are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of (us) AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON
CHRIST,” …(we) are Christ‘s… And as one “put on Christ” one “put on TRUTH”
as it is written …we belong to TRUTH… …we are buried with him by baptism… acknowledging this, one
does not goes around looking for “innovational truths,” to explain the Apostles’ Doctrine. This is to ACCEPT/RECEIVE
The Savior from heaven which John also wrote of what he saw in Revelation; Him knocking at the door and saying: “if
any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come to him,” “…To him that overcometh will I grant to sit
with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.. (Christ in God) He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (the quickening Spirit, Christ in God) saith unto the churches.” This knocking
is clearly to the churches (Christendom) sinners had accepted The Messiah/Savior the risen Jesus whom Paul called the “quickening
Spirit.” who have illuminated the minds of his Apostles “Then opened He their understanding that they might understand
the Scriptures;” and previously had made this promises: “I will not leave you comfortless/orphans… I will
come to you.” …at that day, ye shall know that I Am in The Father,(Christ in God) ye in Me and I in you…
as the quickening Spirit the very One directing words to Christendom/churches. As stated above, Paul say Jesus is the quickening
Spirit, John calls Risen Jesus …the Spirit speaking to churches, there is One Divine Spirit “THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH”
to whom I know now I belong to; and He is knocking at churches’ doors to let Him in! He most be “received/accepted”
in the same fashion that the Apostles did preach it; and all true believers did from the apostolic time. Again, “For
as many of (us) as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
“As (we) have therefore received Christ Jesus The Lord, so (let us) walk in Him. …(we were) buried with
Him in baptism, wherein also (we) are raised with Him through the faith of the operation of God… There you have it!!
Trinitarian preachers …FAITH OF THE OPERATION OF GOD! Buried and risen with Him, certainly receiving Him occurred
at baptism; John who wrote “(we) who received Jesus to (us) was given power to become sons of God” also wrote
that Jesus said; 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. Here again, “it” is needed: faith in the operation of God at baptism to enter into the kingdom
of which Jesus asserted “I Am the door” dint’He?
John finished his segment about becoming …sons of God … attesting …THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. Since
RECEIVING THE LORD JESUS is: …HAVE PUT ON CHRIST… then, …BELIEVE ON HIS NAME… is: RECEIVING HIS NAME
AT BAPTISM. One cannot separate the person from his name; it is the name that identifies the blood of the father; and God’s
Name on me identify who’s blood has given me …eternal life… My Thanks to …The Everlasting Father…
NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER; FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.
On lines above of this reading material, was mentioned that in Church History is found about the “change” of the
Sacrament of Baptism; Matthew 28:19 instead of Acts 2:38 As I bring this work of mine to end; I feel compelled to quote from
what happen then; that pagan theologian Cyprian found it necessary to insist upon the use of oral tradition instead of the
Scriptural phrase “baptized into the Name of the Lord Jesus.” Cyprian Ep.73,16-18. THERE YOU HAVE IT: ORAL TRADITION
INSTEAD OF SCRIPTURAL PHRASE.
