Oh that one. Honestly, I do not respond to silly questions devoid of substance....& I'm not being coy here, but 100% sincere.

Or do you not respond to questions you can
t answer? You don't care to tell me where the blood of Jesus is now? You won't tell whether or not literal blood somehow touched your soul? That would seem vital to your stance here. And yes, the life is in the blood in that if you lose your blood you lose your life. But the Bible is very clear that it is the Spirit that quickens and gives life. In fact,
I John 1 says that Jesus is eternal life manifest in flesh. He is that water that springs up unto everlasting LIFE. Again, you and Epley being Oneness Pentecostal preachers should have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Holy Ghost baptism than this. Very sad.

The Blood is found in the Name & person of Jesus Christ & is applied via repentance, water & Spirit baptism & on a daily basis. All the way from the brass altar to the Mercy Seat!

While the blood gives a REAL cleansing in the mind of God, it NEVER gives anyone a LITERAL cleansing. If it does LITERALLY touch us, again I ask you, where is it stored? The only LITERAL cleansing you and I get is the cleansing, quickening power of Holy Ghost baptism.
The blood gives us a "
positional" cleansing, in that God considers it the acceptable sacrifice to forgive our sins and tear down the wall that separates us from his Holy presence. As Paul said in Rom4, through Christ's sacrifice, all the righteous requirements of the Law are met in us . It's as if we never sinned. So God is then free to reside in us at Spirit baptism. That is when we receive "
literal" cleansing and are infused with life making us a new creation. That's when
John 20:22 is fulfilled and Jesus "breathes" the life back into us that Adam lost. The blood justifies us so his life can save us.
