FALSE IDEAS OF THE CARNAL CHURCHES

 

There is a common idea in the false churches that no one before Christ had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and that the spirit would only come and go as needed with the people who GOD dealt with in the times before Christ.  These people also believe that the Christian church did not begin until the day of Pentecost.  In this article I am going to prove both of these ideas wrong.  

The key to understanding that the above ideas are wrong is understanding Romans 11:16-24  The olive tree symbolizes the church of GOD, true Christians from all of time before and after Christ.  If you examine the new covenant scriptures very closely you will come to see that the new covenant was the calling out of the Gentiles along with any Israelites who believed.  The number of Israelites would drastically be reduced over time as their branches were broken off and replaced by Gentiles.  This is the great mystery that Paul wrote about.  Romans 11:25  Ephesians 3:2-6  Ancient Israel was the elect of the old covenant, the law, but the church is the elect according to grace. Can you see that grace is older than the law that came 430 years after Abraham, the church is older than ancient Israel. This knowledge ends the debate of replacement theology because the church was before the law, there was no replacement at all.  Spiritual Israel, the Israel of GOD, has always been the true holy people and ancient Israel was nothing but a shadow of the spiritual reality to come.  Hebrews 10:1

Then we connect Romans 11:16-24 to Hebrews 11:1-40  All the people mentioned in this chapter, along with others not mentioned, were people of faith, the one true faith, and are heirs to the same promises that Christians today have.   They are the root of the olive tree in Romans 11. They along with Christians after Christ will be in the first resurrection.  Luke 13:28  Matthew 8:11-12  Those thrust out are the broken off branches in Romans 11:20 along with everyone else who did not believe. 

Then we connect these with scriptures like Ephesians 2:19-22

These verses confirm the ancient prophets along with the Apostles are part of the foundation of the church thus proving the church existed long before Christ.  Take note that it explicitly says that all were indwelt by the Holy Spirit.  

Another scripture Matthew 27:51-53  Saints who died before Jesus died were resurrected.  

Another Acts 13:22  David was a man after GODS own heart.

And…. Psalm 51:1-19  A Psalm written by David expresses his sincere repentance over his sins of adultery and murder concerning Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite.  Psalm 51:1-19 is a prayer of sincere repentance by David. Replace David’s name with yours. King David was a Christian along with many others who lived before Christ.  

Another…. GOD preached the gospel to Abraham.  Galatians 3:8  The faith of everyone in Hebrews 11 was saving faith, not by the law but by grace.  Romans 4:23-25  James 2:23   The covenant GOD gave to Abraham was the new covenant. This new covenant needed confirmation by the promised seed of Abraham, Jesus Christ.  This Jesus was baptized not for himself but for all these ancient Christians who were circumcised.  Romans 25:8-9  Romans 4:11 Jesus fulfilled all righteousness, the righteousness of GOD by faith that was present in those ancient saints.  It says in Hebrews 12:38 “the world was not worthy of these people”.  How true.   The Holy Spirit of GOD indwelt all these people, it was not transient but permanent.  On occasion more of the spirit was poured out upon these people in order for them to accomplish something special GOD wanted done. This was common among Christians after Christ as well.  

There are many other scriptures that testify that the false ideas of the false churches are based entirely on carnal knowledge.  

The elect that are sealed in Revelation 7 are the church from righteous Able to the last one called and chosen to fulfill the 144,000.  The innumerable multitude will be another group that come later after they are martyred.  The total number of people who will be saved who are the elect is 144,000 and the Laodicean martyrs and this number agrees with all the statements Jesus and the prophets and Apostles preached, many called but few chosen.  These 144,000 are the little flock.

The carnal world will not believe anything I have written here and that comes as no surprise to me.  I am writing to GODS scattered elect saints.  However, if anyone else is beginning to understand this then you may be hearing the call, will you answer it and be chosen.
