I have no earthly idea how they believe...personally I am what has been labeled here on this forum as a 3 stepper BUT at the same time while I can and do state how I feel. I am not on the bandwagon sending people to the lake...I feel we can accomplish more for the KINGDOM through kindness that we can spitting into the microphone somewhere with all those ughs and awes and hospital dying sounds that shallow people think is anointing...
With that said...I do not personally believe like the said group above but am sure there are precious people there and like any other group there are some that are not so true blue...
The Baker "boys" if I may use the expression do not teach what their folks once taught but that does not make them devils...and I have not seen them for many years so it is not some personal friend that I am protecting but at the end of the day when our computers are put away it will be the JUDGE of the earth that makes the final decisions about all of us...
Matthew 25:31-46 :
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, AND HE WILL SEPARATE THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDES HIS SHEEP FROM THE GOATS. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
"Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'
"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.'
A lot of things will be taken into consideration on that day...Since some (no one that I know of that writes on this forum but others that read here) seem to have taken things I say out of context and used the expression I do not believe anything...they say things like that for other means and they are wrong...I DO believe in something and teach Bible school several days a week but in the Holy writings we find Jesus had his biggest problem with those that claimed to be so holy ... it was them and them alone HE condemned...not the woman in adultery, not the tax collector, not the lady that washed his feet....but those that stood on the street corners boasting how holy they were...
He was not impressed by the million dollar offerings but impressed by a little lady that gave her bread money...He was not impressed by their temple in fact he told them that a day would come when there would not be stone on stone...
DID JESUS believe something? Of course He did...enough to die for what HE believed...
Do I believe something? Of course I do...enough to give 43 years of my life on a lone mission field!
We plan to be at Brother Holmes meeting but would love to sit down with the Bakers and talk about our common ground...foremost...Brazil...
Being friends with someone does not mean we see eye to eye...I am friends with people that hate the thought of women preachers, post tribulation, footwashing, and all kinds of things I believe and practice.
Deep inside me I think it is gross error not to believe in certain things but I am NOT the JUDGE am only one of the little ones that love Him and want to make HIM known among the heathen. I do not want a false holiness or a false covering...I long for the deepness of HIS presence and a great moving of His Spirit.
I am so hungry to see a great move of God all over our world... I think of these scriptures this morning...
‘If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land’ (
2 Chronicles 7:14).
Thus says the Lord: “For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants and My blessing on your offspring” (
Isaiah 44:3).
‘O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do it for Your name’s sake; for our backslidings are many, we have sinned against You’ (
Jeremiah 14:7)
And of the well known verse; Thus says the Lord: “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; and also on My menservants and My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days” (
Joel 2:28-29).
May we be fully committed and surrendered to the will of the Master..when that happens we often see things in a different manner....
