Salvation Through BORN AGAIN My anger? Can any preacher endure My wrath? 22 I, God, the consuming fire, say to you, That is –“God, the consuming fire, takes pleasure if someone obeys His command. But will He delight in just prayer, alms and offerings? 23 ‘Listen, New Birth is better than the burnt offerings, doing His will is better than praying. 24 Rejecting God’s main comm- and of being Born Again is equal to the sin of divination. 25 Being foolish is equal to the sin of idolatry. Woe to you, pop- es, preachers, leaders, 26 My Spirit is grieved about you. You are doing the things wh- ich grieve My Spirit but you are not entering the kingdom of heaven. 27 I, Myself, say that you should boast in dead works and rather shouldn’t be rescued of the upc- oming judgment” – this is the Word of God,the consuming fire CHAPTER 36 YOU may say that God, the consuming fire, to about what God, the consuming fire said about you. 2 We have nothing to do with 68 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD the Words of God, the consum- ing fire, because we have seven traditions to follow.” 3 You may say that those tradit- ions will take us into heaven. 4 So God, the consuming fire says – “I, Myself, will judge him who follows seven traditions. 5 He will be thrown into the lake of fire by binding his legs and hands because of seven tradi- tions. If no one may believe this now, but you will certainly know on that day that what the truth, God, the consuming fire revealed is true. 6 What I said through Moses, prophets and apostles that one can enter the kingdom of God by being Born Again is true. 7 If it is not true, I testify today that earth and heavens will be passed away. 8 ‘It doesn’t matter one may be protestant, orthodox, catholic, Jew, or anyone. What I said ea- rlier unless one Born Again he can’t enter the heaven but he will go into the lake of fire is true – this is the Word of God, the con- suming fire.” 9-10 I, God, the consuming fire, says to you –“You say that one 69 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN can go to heaven by sprinkling. So listen – If you think that you can go to heaven by sprinkling, and then the protestant will go to heaven even before you. 11 Because – ‘he thinks that bap- tism is the entrance to heaven. He will immerse and get up from water and will die in sin. Finally, he will be taken to the judgment. 12 II ‘You did not yet understand what the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said in your Book that it is not by baptism but by New Birth your sins are for- given. 13 What do you think what will happen in sprinkling? You think that sprinkling is the baptism but you did not follow the God’s way. 14 How did the Lord take bap- tism? Did He take the baptism by sprinkling? Or did He take the baptism by immersion? 15 ‘Didn’t the apostles prophets testify that Lord immersed in the river and was baptized by John the Baptist? 16 I, Myself, God, the consuming fire, say to you that if you take the man made baptism instead of God commanded immersion, you will not have any benefit. 17 ‘If you want the participation 1 Rom 6:2; 2 Rom 6:3; 3 Rom 6:5; The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD in the resurrection, then you must take the immersion baptism to be united in the Lord’s death’ burial and resurrection”. 18-19 II You will be blessed if you take the baptism in a laying position like the buried one (with laying him down). That is – if someone takes the baptism in a laying position, by no means he died 1 to sin. 20 Such one is baptized into Christ Jesus and will be the par- taker in His death 2 . 21 He who partakes in His death symbolically will be buried with Him. He will be united with Him 3 . He will have the new life in Christ. 22 If he is united in His death, he will certainly be united in His resurrection 3 also. 23 That’s why man should get up from water to be united in Christ resurrection. 24 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with 4 , that we should no longer be slaves to sin 4 . 25 Because anyone who has died has been freed from sin 5 . 4 Rom 6:6 ; 5 Rom 6:7;
