I do not like anyone who perverts the gospel of Christ....
So quit doing just that - Christ IS the gospel of Christ in BOTH Prophecy AND The Mystery.
Within EACH of those TWO within this TWO Fold PURPOSE OF GOD...
Of Who - OF GOD...
CHRIST IS the power OF GOD for salvation to everyone that believeth.
YOU are GROSSLY OVER simplifiying certain words, phrases and passages, at the expense of other passages.
Talk about a little leaven; you've gone on to open a bakery :chuckle:
HE IS the power OF GOD FOR Salvation in the Prophetic aspect ALSO.
Duh - uh - what do you think the name Jesus is a reference to?
Never mind; I'll let the passages defend themselves against what is actually YOUR perversion of the gospel of Christ into one aspect only.
It is WHY you and yours WITHIN MAD erroneously take issue whenever anyone uses the simple name: Jesus in their posts - YOUR isolating of a thing away from other things. Which YOU then take TOO literally.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
That speaks of the very POWER IN HIS VERY NAME TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Acts 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
You need and yours WITHIN MAD need to go back to MAD 101.
Your obvious above practice is the practice of the 28er NOT of the Acts 9er, sister.
Where we agree as FELLOW MADS proves my very point.
EVERY point you have ever posted AGAINST the MAD of O'Hair, Baker, Stam, Jordan, Sadler and DOZENS of other LEADERS within Acts 9 Dispensationalism - where they ARE agreed with one another - has been a point against their agreement.
NONE of you hold even an ounce of a candle to how thorough they EACH were on these issues where they agreed with one another.
Where they did not - your exact same practice of isolating a passage and then taking it too literally, has ALWAYS proven the case as who later turned out off base.
And that is the very pioneers.
O'Hair and Jordan known by one and all as literally walking Bibles.
None of which matters when YOUR above is practiced, no matter how much Bible one knows.
Thus, should you now conclude I was actually talking about those men; you will only prove once more what I am saying.
In this, if my holding to the fact that your above practice makes me an enemy - in your one more oversimplification of YOUR perversion - of the gospel of Christ, then so be it :chuckle:
The chuckle being due to the fact that although you have made yourself the Pope of what MADs are to cow tow to, you sure are of a double mind when it is your turn to be called out on an error.
Why?
Because this is not about MAD to you; this is you being you; insisting on your view - "or else!" :crackup:
You are actually being another Jerry Shugart :chuckle:
