Exactly.

2Co 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.

PRAISE THE LORD1111
Where two or three are gathered, together,in my name, there am I in the mist. Thank you Jesus for your right now presence in our life here, being with us, and in us, working your perfect will through us.
I'm happy that He chose the base things, simple things, things which are despised and hated, the foolish things to confound the minds of the world, things that are nothing to bring to nothing the things that are.
Our God is always looking for a challenge in people to change them into something beautiful that is just like himself, that person whom we love and are attracted to even though we have not seen him face to face, but we see Him in the spirit and know him and are drawn to him in all that he is forever.
