Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: A helmet protects the head where all the thinking his text speaks of (2 Corinthians 10:3-6) takes place. I liken taking the helmet of salvation to attaching the READ ONLY attribute to a file that contains proof of your salvation. It protects once saved always saved. I am forever praising and believing Jesus is the Christ, and this is pleasing to God.

Well, John said King Jesus would baptise us with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16)@@Benjamin-un1wl. Our Lord Jesus Christ said we must be born again of water and the Spirit (John 3:5). You would have to clarify for me, is this baptism you refer to from man, or Heaven (Mark 11:30)? I will say this much, the thief who came to Jesus in repentance while on the cross is in paradise with the King who died and heals, today. May the Lord of all grace bless you with the understanding in your question mate.

@@josephkusabs46 I'm talking about being baptized with water.

Was the thief baptised with water before he died alongside Jesus@@Benjamin-un1wl?

@@josephkusabs46 The thief on the cross was saved before the gospel existed. The thief on the cross didn't have to obey the gospel to be saved because it didn't exist. The thief on the cross didn't have to be baptized to be saved because he didn't have to obey the gospel to be saved.

@@Benjamin-un1wl ♥️ 1 Corinthians 1 KJV 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 15 KJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 3 KJV 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; ♥️know♥️ 1 John 5 KJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

@@alexanderbrown2717 “Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you” (1 Peter 3:21). Does 1 Peter 3:21 prove you have to be baptized to be saved?

@@Benjamin-un1wl Peter led the first Gentiles to Jesus Christ. If you noticed they believe first And got the Holy Ghost thenPeter baptize them afterwards. Acts 10 KJV 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 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. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. 1 one more Example♥️ Just believe sir Christ died on the cross and shed all his blood for you. Yes YOU♥️ Acts 16 KJV 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. What must I do to be saved? Believe sir ♥️

Respectfully, subjective experience with what you perceive as Jesus does not trump objective truth of God's revealed word. Demons seem to have been deceiving you, "satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14) or "if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!" (Galatians 1:8). If you're understanding of Jesus isn't aligning with Gods transcendent Word, dismiss it, it isn't His objective, infallible truth. God bless!

Just a few questions come to mind. First, when Paul had his vision of heaven, what he saw was so incredible, that he was unable to utter a word about his experience. Seems if Paul, who actually met Jesus, couldn't speak about his experience, seems that's a good indication of what heaven is like. Secondly, heaven tourism seems to be a thing these days, as people claiming to gave been there are a dime a dozen, yet many of the experiences are directly contrary to what scripture teaches about heaven.

@@robmc120 it’s was an honest question. I wasn’t disputing the word on telling what I encountered with Jesus. Again it’s was a question, and I guess that since you think I was tricked by a demon doesn’t make my experience false nor can you say with certainty that wasn’t Jesus! I understand most people have not had the chance to experience what it’s like other than reading the Bible and faith. But none the less it was a question about the three heads, not about people saying it was a demon that I seen. Jesus never said anything negative nor claimed to be anything other than himself. I have no doubt who I was standing in front of and have been a Christian my entire life. My question was not trying to convince others of my experience. I also practice what I preach as well. Nothing I said disputed the word of the Holly Bible it was just a question I had. And you automatically say I was perceived by the devil or demons. Do you also say these things to others that claim to have an after life experience that they also have been deceived? Again nothing was spoken to me that was outside of scripture it was just a question I had! Really not the answer I was hoping for but it’s typical from another Christian.

I asked my mother today after I asked the question and she was kind enough to review scripture of the three heads and gave me a better understanding. I guess I was hoping you guys could help me with the answer other than accusing me of being tricked by a demon in the clouds. Thanks for the support from a fellow Christian!

J Warner Wallace (Cold Case Christianity) has investigated & debunked all these supposed links with mythic gods, look up his channel for details. May God show Himself to you in spirit & truth, God bless!

@@robmc120 😂 J Warner Wallace? Good joke. Try actually reading all of the articles. Truth has nothing to fear from inquiry, right? A little tip. Don't get your information from lying apologists. I'm not trying to be rude but stick to critical scholarship. *Jesus falsely prophesied his return in the 1st century* Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here will not taste death*** before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom Matthew 16:28 Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here*** will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God Luke 9:27 Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Mark 13:30 The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Matthew 24:29-34 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. When you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Luke 21:25-32 *Jesus promised to return over 2, 000 years ago and he still hasn’t.* Jesus and the angels never appeared from Heaven, the stars never fell from the sky, none of these things happened. Nothing he prophesied happened. ***Apologists can try to spin this, but the simple fact is that Jesus was either wrong or misquoted.*** According to the Bible that makes Jesus a false prophet or misquoted (and if Jesus is misquoted than the Bible is not inerrant or the word of God) How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken Deuteronomy 18:21-22 *Jesus falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin* Jesus also falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin (assemblies of either twenty-three or seventy-one rabbis appointed to sit as a tribunal) You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and ***coming on the clouds of heaven*** Matthew 26:64 Mark 14:62 Except the high priest and the Sanhedrin never saw Jesus sitting at the right hand side of God, or coming on the clouds of heaven, or any such thing. *Jesus falsely prophesied to Nathaniel* Jesus also falsely prophesied to Nathanael when he declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” Jesus said, You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that. He then added, ***“Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man*** John 1:50-51 *Nathanael never saw any such thing. Neither did anyone else.* The following quote from Stephen L. Harris, Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Religious Studies at California State University- Sacramento, completes this point with a devastating argument. *Jesus did not accomplish what Israel’s prophets said the Messiah was commissioned to do:* He did not deliver the covenant people from their Gentile enemies, reassemble those scattered in the Diaspora, restore the Davidic kingdom, or establish universal peace (cf.Isa. 9:6-7; 11:7-12:16, etc.). Instead of freeing Jews from oppressors and thereby fulfilling God’s ancient promises-for land, nationhood, kingship, and blessing- *Jesus died a “shameful” death, defeated by the very political powers the Messiah was prophesied to overcome.* Indeed, the Hebrew prophets did not foresee that Israel’s savior would be executed as a common criminal by Gentiles, *making Jesus’ crucifixion a “stumbling block” to scripturally literate Jews.* (1 Cor.1:23) Watch *Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet, Historical Lecture - Bart D. Ehrman* ------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, look up the following. *"13x Jesus was wrong in the Bible - Life Lessons"* *"End Times - Evil Bible .com"* *"The End of All Things is At Hand - The Church Of Truth"* *"Resurrection - Fact or Myth - Omission Report"* *"What’s Missing from Codex Sinaiticus, the Oldest New Testament? - Biblical Archaeology Society"* *"The “Strange” Ending of the Gospel of Mark and Why It Makes All the Difference - Biblical Archaeology Society"* *"ex-apologist: On One of the Main Reasons Why I Think Christianity is False (Reposted)"* *"Why Jesus? Nontract (August 1999) - Freedom From Religion Foundation"* *"272: JESUS’S 5200 AUTHENTIC WORDS - zingcreed"* *"43: IS THE FOURTH GOSPEL FICTION? - zingcreed"* *"Jesus Predicted a First Century Return Which Did Not Occur - by Alex Beyman - Medium"* *"Jesus’ Failed Prophecy About His Return - Black Nonbelievers, Inc."*

@@robmc120 *"It needs to be emphasized that this line of reasoning isn't controversial among mainstream, middle-of-the-road NT critics.* I'm not talking about a view held by the Jesus Seminar, or earlier "radical" form and redaction critics like Norman Perrin. *Rather, I'm talking about the kinds of considerations that are largely accepted by moderates who are also committed Christians, such as Dale Allison and John P. Meier. Indeed, conservative scholars of the likes of none other than Ben Witherington and N.T. Wright largely admit this line of reasoning.* Why are they still Christians, you ask? I'll tell you: by giving unnatural, ad hoc explanations of the data. For example, *Meier gets around the problem by arguing that the false prediction passages are inauthentic (i.e., Jesus never said those things; the early church just put those words on the lips of Jesus, and they ended up in the gospels);* *Witherington gets around the problem by saying that what Jesus really meant was that the imminent arrival of the eschatological kingdom might be at hand(!); Wright gets around the problem by adopting the partial preterist line that the imminent end that Jesus predicted really did occur -- it's just that it was all fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem (Oh, really? So are we also to think that since he's already come again, he's not coming back? Or perhaps there will be a third coming?* But even putting these worries aside: why does Paul tell various communities very far *outside* of Israel about the same sorts of predictions of an imminent end that would affect *them* -- one that, like the one Jesus talked about, involved judgement, destruction, and the gathering of all the elect? And again, what about the author of Revelation's detailing the end-time judgment, which includes the Roman Empire *outside* of Israel, during the reign of Nero?). *Are you convinced by these responses? Me neither. And now you know why nobody outside of orthodox circles buys them, either."* *"ex-apologist: On One of the Main Reasons Why I Think Christianity is False (Reposted)"*

Where are those “religions” now? Looks like they rusted away 🤔 I wonder why
