My lessons from the mass indoctrination Day 14

Calvary greetings to everyone. It's a calm and peaceful morning over here in Nigeria at my current location. Am brother Ajah Kelvin and it's with delight that i want share with us my lessons from the mass indoctrination, Day 14. All glory to God for making it possible to complete the study.

We saw from the teaching as a reminder of the previous teaching (Day 13)that they are four (4) types of hearts and that out of the four, only one is to be desired. If we find ourselves having the other type of heart, there's a still hope as God can change any heart. Apostle confessed that he was a chief sinner but Christ show mercy on him and he was converted and added to the church, so no soul can be worked upon or changed by God but we must desire that change because God wouldn't forced it on us. Once we make up our mind to change to following His ways, He would come into us and give us the enablement to do his work. The natural man only borders on things of these world;doing good is a character from God. It's God that works in us both to will and do His good will and pleasures. Change starts from baptism. According to Matthew 28:19, Baptism is a commandment given to the disciples by Jesus Christ before He ascended to heaven. He commanded that all men be baptized that receives the gospel irrespective of their tribe and then be added to the church of he is the head. There is a true baptism, which is the type in the bible. According to the book of Titus 3:5 and Acts 22:16, during baptism our sins are been washed away. Paul was asked to rise up and be baptized so his sins can be washed away. Baptism gives rise to a rebirth. Baptism isn't for children because they barely know what is evil. Since baptism is commanded by Christ and hence all children of God are expected to be subjected to it ie it's not optional. we must do it.

According to Ezekiel 7:23, we learnt that what ever is commanded by the God of heaven should be done in the house of God and baptism is one of such commandment. All that Jesus spoke about was from him but was from the father in heaven for He was sent by the father. In Titus 3:15,we saw that the house of God is the church and it's the ground and pillar of all truth. The house of God is a place of orderliness. The church of God should bear His name. It's in the house of God that the law of God should be obeyed. There is the house of God not cathedral. Baptism should be received in the house of God and Matthew 28:19 is a proof of where the true baptism should take place, which is the house of God. Peter in Acts2:28 said same thing too that we should be baptized in the name of Jesus. where the name of the father is, is where we are to do baptism. Scripture says in the name of the father and not with the name of the father. "in" refers to place or location-Ephesians 3:14
Deuteronomy 12:5,tells us that His name should be mention in His house (the church). God sanctify His house and put His name there forever and that house can't be destroy by man. The church of God would remain till eternity. we are to receive baptism where the name of God is. According to 1Corinthians 12:13,we are to be baptized in one body and that one body is referred to the body of Christ-Colosians1:18. The body symbolize the church and Christ is the head of the church. We saw in Ephesians 4:4 that there is only one body and the hope of our calling is in that one body.

There is only one true baptism and it should be done in the church. Baptism is an act of Faith and should be done in the name of the father and that's the church. The name of the lord shouldn't be taken in vain-Exodus 20:7. we shouldn't take His name and put it anyway, His name should be in His house. According to Matthew 24:4-5,we should be awere of false preachers that uses His name to preach false doctrine and to deceive many. The name of the true God is in His house. we should be baptized under the jurisdiction of His name. In the true church, Christ is there, the Holy spirit and God the father is there too-Hebrews 3:6. According to Hebrews 10:21, our high priest is in the house of God and the high priest is Christ. we should look for where Christ is, where the Holy spirit is and get baptized. we saw in 1 Corinthians 3:16,that the Spirit is in the church, the father's name and Christ are all in the church. Carrying out baptism in the wrong place makes it in vain. The law of God is to be implemented in the church according to Ezekiel 7:23. Fasting is recommended during the process of baptism except for any reason that prevents us from fasting. we are to dedicate ourselves to God while we await the process (baptism).

God bless us all. You are always invited to join us study God's word.
