Baptism by Fire: ‘Training’ Saves None
God does as God will do through whomever He will do it.
God works through new creations in Jesus Christ and the non-regenerate.
Regarding God’s works through non-regenerate as rain on the unjust:
The non-regenerate think they did it themselves. Because they are deceived all men have free will, they genuinely are deceived that they have used their will in some way that has provided a benefit to themselves and others. Other non-regenerate souls go to those who are deceived that they used their will ‘properly’ per some ’stimulus’ and want to learn how to use their will in such way as benefits themselves and others ‘too’ when faced with that same ’stimulus’.
Thus, the non-regenerate notion of ‘education’ is born as a lie of anti-Christ: that ‘thing’/organ that disperses the ‘how-to’ of ‘how’ to use the ‘free’ will properly/’the-smart-way’. Thus also is born anti-Christ’s alternate literal of ‘power’: those who teach and those who ‘figure out’ new ways to ‘use the will’ –those who define the new ’smarts’.
Thus, they lead as many as possible down a maze of ‘choice’ that supposedly is mandated ‘because’ the will is supposedly ‘free’. But there is no free will and the only thing the lie of ‘choice’ has ever done is instill hesitation as the supposed ultimate smart as it supposedly demonstrates the freedom of the will over and over in “analysis”. Both “conservatives” and “liberals” are taken in that snare. The “liberals” are deceived that “more choice” means “more freedom” so “more choice” is their whole foundation of law. The “conservatives” are deceived that choice is the foundation of law as well, only that some particulars within ‘choice’ (which appear to them to be very real) result in the destruction of the whole people and so think to discriminate between “choice(s)” as if they actually existed. To which their same speech (non-creating speech) through the liberals reply: “You idiot. You’re using choice against itself. We need more choice –not less! What good is the free will if it isn’t used in every area that comes to mind?!”
Those who are not born again in Jesus Christ are completely filled with anti-Christ as their only speech. Because anti-Christ is their only speech and cannot create anything, God calls them wicked and liars.
Psalm 58:3-6 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear; Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely. O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Genesis 8:21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
Because anti-Christ can create nothing and he is the only speech of fallen man, they have a speech and agenda of non-creation. All their supposed ‘logic’ as to how reality works, what reality is, is a lie built on what they suppose but never notice they suppose as the non-interference principle of all speech. They are deceived only one speech exists in total reality: non-creating speech which is their mind as well. They simply do not possess the being or Word of God to understand reality and yet are completely deceived that they do. Those that cannot hear God are very “sure” of their/anti-Christ’s version of reality.
Thus, their educational system reflects that: everything is ‘training’/how-to-use-the-will-when-faced-with-situation-a-b-c. Their whole life is spent trying to enhance and expand ‘choice’ as if it actually existed. The tyranny they spread is their education/speech as “use the choice and find more”. It is the hesitation.
Habbakuk 2:13-13 Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea. Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, –that pourest out thy flask, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Jehovah’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and a shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
Because reality is not as they suppose and there is no free will, they are not only taken in an evil time but in ignorance both of the time and that they are in every way defenseless against anything, even each other.
The same events happen to all. Yet not all are overthrown by the event. How you arrive at the event and what you are (new creation in Jesus Christ versus anything else) determines what happens to you at the pre-determined event. Witness these brothers in Christ Jesus, brothers in that they had the Word of God living in them as He does in us and through whom God refused to bow down to the anti-Christ and Satan set up as an idol. It is expressly a fight over Speech and between the two speaks.
Daniel 3:1-30 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up; and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever! Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image; and that whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up. Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up? Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well : but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. If it be so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Forasmuch as the king’s commandment was rigorous, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that had taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither . Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had had no power, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and who changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God! Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
We see several things from the above spirit and life as the Word of God: no amount of training around fire with all their ‘science’ or ‘craft’ was able to save those who threw our brothers in Christ into the fire. Yet the fire was to them baptism, while to those who threw them in it was death. One event happened to both: fire. Yet two different results. As well we see that the only understanding the king himself had was that they had done this “on purpose” (as a supposed act of their supposed ‘free’ will) and the sole foundation of his anger was that they were ‘testing’ their will against his own –after he had been told that the whole earth were placed under him and that his word was law. Nebucahnezzar really was deceived that only one speech exsits in total reality and they ’struggled over wills’ within ‘it’.
Ecclesiates 9:1-3 For all this I laid to my heart and indeed to investigate all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; man knoweth neither love nor hatred: all is before them. All things come alike to all: one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all that is done under the sun, that one thing befalleth all: yea, also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, they have to go to the dead.
The same event comes to the sinner and the new creation in Jesus Christ. No amount of training, of supposed practice to do what is ‘proper’ with the will saves either. Only Christ in us saves us, both from fire and water and from all else, even death and even the wrath of God, because God loves us and is in us to withstand the flames He created as the event.
It is an arrogance in today’s U.S. military establishment to rely on ‘training’ such that minus ‘the training’ none are deemed capable or worthy of performance. ‘Training’ is seen as such a panacea to all ills that now, even the Iraqi’s are driven under the lie of ‘training’ as a supposed definition of nation-hood that can stand on its own in every walk of life.
It is not ‘training’ the Muslims need (or American non-generate need). It is new birth in Jesus Christ. It is a complete and total end of the lie of Islam forever; for all those suffering under the lie that “Islam” is a ‘faith’. It has never been anything but a lie. Mohammed was at best a pedophile Stalin, now worshipped as “the great leader” under the phrase “the prophet” who was deceived by Satan disguised as an angel of light. To this hour his followers are deceived because they are not new creations in Jesus Christ, not because they “make bad intellectual choices” in non-creating speech. They have no mind or being to understand God, just as we had no mind or being to understand God and even the small part of total reality we see.
Ephesians 2:1-10 and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins– in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest: but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us, (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,) and has raised us up together, and has made us sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God’s gift: not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
God through us will deliver the oppressed from their oppressor and from the oppression: Islam and all lies of non-creating speech/anti-Christ. “Training” will not solve that problem. God as Word is the only solution to the only oppression: Satan and anti-Christ as the mind of the people. The non-creating speech is death, no matter how it smiles or is proud of itself in the non-regenerate or tries to pass itself off as false Christianity.
Hebrews 4:12,13 For the word of God is living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to the division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things are naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.
It is a sweet thought for a child to think that holiness is only had in the desert by oneself; in a cave or wilderness retreat; particularly in non-confrontation and non-violence.
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.
For God as a divine command says:
Luke 22:35-38 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing. He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take it , in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword; for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
- He gives a divine command to buy weapons
- He gives no command to not use them in self-defense
- They already had two swords and God did not in any way say: “You’ve got weapons?! That’s against everything I stand for! Get rid of them!”
God is not the pacifists Satan tries so desperately to deceive all that He is so that Satan may kill Christians with impunity and in perfect safety.
Psalm 139:23,24 Search me, O *God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
1 John 4:17 Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world.
Who is ‘we’? All real, literal new creations in Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:16 So that *we* henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer. So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new: and all things are of the God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
