ALL Truth?
We have picked out a couple of personal doctrines that we consider to be ALL truth. These would be:
1. Oneness of the Godhead
2. Baptism in Jesus' Name
3. Holiness/Dress Code
My personal opinion on why God doesn't show ALL truth to those who have been baptized in the Spirit (including Catholic Charismatics) is that those three things I've listed there are not really important to God.
1. Oneness? what's that? We Oneness folks don't even agree among ourselves on what Oneness is. Look at the endless, confusing dialogues on this site. The Catholic and Protestant and Charismatic folks don't really believe in many gods. They believe there is one God who has come to us in the person of Jesus and who lives in us as the Holy Spirit. That, in my opinion, is the Bible definition of God. All our silly theological terms like "persons" or "substance" or "mighty God in Christ" or "triune" are just our silly little word games.
2. Baptism in Jesus' name? Who authorized baptism in
Matthew 28? Jesus did and whenever we baptize whether by sprinkling, pouring, immersing or whatever we are doing it because He authorized us to do it so we are doing it in His name (by His authority) whether we vocalize His name in English or not.
3. Holiness/Dress code. That's not even worth time to write about. God's not in our dress code and cookie cutter Christian theology.
That's my two cents worth.
Looking our way? DKB is no more born again nor in the Kingdom than those others who will be attending (whatever church/organization/denomination) they come from.
