Not sure why you would ask that question I know nothing about either, nor why you would assume one or the other leaving no other choice. I have no affiliation with any denomination just the Holy Ghost and the Lord himself. Initially growing up my mother dragged me to a Baptist church and after Holy Ghost baptism at 38 years old was associated with a Pentecostal group for maybe 4-6 months, but the Lord kept showing me things that they were doing and teaching that didn't line up with his word so had to bow out. Spent many months trying to find a group but was always a cast out as most do not HEAR the Lord when he speaks though they claim to be Christians. Most do not believe in casting out of unclean spirits, I have done it. Most do not adhere to the laying on of hands and praying for the sick and they recover, done that too at the Lords directing. How about praying in other tongues, do that too. Indeed most things were told about a true believer in Mark 16:17-18, the so called Christians of today dismiss as only being for the early church, but having done these things I can attest that they are also for ALL who are the true believers. This is part of what makes you the outcast among your so called brethren or modern Christianity.
Everything I write is based upon
Titus1:2 " In hope of
ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD, THAT CANNOT LIE,
PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN."
If he promised it before the world began,
WHO did he promise this eternal life too? That's the mystery.
Man including Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death. We see Jesus in Revelation and before ascension in a body that had holes in it and a spear wound that should have been bleeding for the entire 40 days he was here. But since there are no accounts of blood during this 40 day period he wore the body to prove he was resurrected as the person they knew as Jesus in the flesh. And at times hid who he was from those that would have known him by facial recognition. If we are like him when he returns for us and meet him in the air and are changed in the twinkling of an eye then we will be spirits (new creations) that are higher than the Angels, for we shall judge angels, and they as you know are seen of men as men when need be. Example is coming to get Lot and his family.
Matthew 5:8 " Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall SEE God." 1John 4:12 "No MAN hath SEEN God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His
LOVE is perfected in us." Man cannot see God as God does not allow it, would you agree? as man would no longer want to live on the earth if he were to see God. But the pure in Heart shall see God but yet these same pure in heart are the teachers spoken of in Isaiah 30:20 whom the people of earth that are born during the reign are taught the WAY by them.
Isaiah 30:19 :For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
30:20 " And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet SHALL NOT THY TEACHERS BE REMOVED INTO A CORNER ANYMORE;
BUT THINE EYES SHALL SEE THY TEACHERS."
30:21 " And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying this is the WAY, walk ye in it..............."
So in short the pure in heart that are not men anymore shall see God and at the same time they are the teachers of the people during the reign of the kingdom and are
SEEN of the people. A Spirit cannot be SEEN by the human eye but if they put on a body then are they seen just as the angels who came after Lots family.
I would add that the pure in heart are those that have achieved to the full aspect of the WAY which is AGAPE LOVE the substance of God. Who better to teach the WAY
than those that have made the entire journey?
Never saw that question on any of last several pages I was involved on.
John 5:26
Don't see how it could be anything short of a God though it be the Son of God we are discussing. "As the Father hath life within himself, so has he given to the Son to have life within Himself."
God himself breathed into the body of Adam and he became a living soul
(life giving breath) as he received that spirit we know as Adam. Jesus breathed upon the disciples and said "receive ye the Holy Ghost"
John 20:22 I guess he had the power to at least mark them for baptism which was the same day of his resurrection. All found in John 20, although the Spirit wasn't given until the day of Pentecost.
1 Co 15:45
"And so it is written, the first man Adam became a living soul; The last Adam (Jesus) BECAME A QUICKENING SPIRIT." First Adam made alive outside the curses of Eden became a living soul. The last perfect MAN Jesus also born outside the curses of Eden (no carnal mind) became a quickening spirit. This verse plainly says what he was and what he BECAME. Not what he will become. The Job/duty/responsibility/joy of the Lord in his capacity as a quickening spirit is to give you life by the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. The only other time Life was given to a man was when God gave it to Jesus at Jordan. And we could all agree that when that baptism occurs we are called new creations. 2Co 5:17, Gal 6:15, and if new creations then how would we still be men? Nothing new in that. As anyone "joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT" not one MAN. 1 Co 6:17
