Jesus gave me the job of giving a word to those who say they are Chiristian.



A Christian is one who is a follower of Jesus Christ our Lord and God.


(1 John 2:6) “But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did”


A Christian has been baptized with water, in the name of Jesus Christ.


(Acts 2:38-39) “You must repent, Peter answered and every one of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all those who are far away, for all those whom the Lord our God is calling to himself.”



After one is baptized with water then they will be given the Holy Spirit to teach, and give one the grace to walk as Jesus walked.


To receive the Holy Spirit one in most circumstances needs to have an apostle to lay hands on him or her.


(Acts 8:14-17) “When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, and they went down there and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit, for as yet he had not come down on any of them: they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.”


Once a person has been taught, and given the grace, by the Holy Spirit to live the Commandments of God, they become Spiritual Christians.


(1 John 2: 27) “But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything: you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him.”


“A person who sins after being forgiven of all past sin, and hasn’t of yet been given the knowledge of the truth, and never becomes spiritual will be judged by the word of God.


(John 12:47-48) “If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithfully, it is not I who shall condemn him, since I have come not to condemn the world, but to save the world: he who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.”


Paul explained that a person who still sins after being baptized is an infant in Christ. Not yet spiritual.


(1 Corinthians 3:1-3) “Brothers, I myself was unable to speak to you as people of the Spirit; I treated you as sensual men, still infants in Christ. What I fed you with was milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it; and indeed, you are still not ready for it since you are still unspiritual. Isn’t that obvious from all the jealousy and wrangling that there is among you, from the way that you go on behaving like ordinary people.”


A Spiritual Christian is one who is a temple of God.


(John 14: 23) “Anyone who loves me will keep my word and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.”


Jesus told us he would show himself to those that kept his commandments, and he loved.


(John 14:21) “Anybody who receives my commandments and keeps them will be one who loves me; and anybody who loves me will be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and show myself to him.”


A Christian loves, and is a loving person, as Jesus was. A Christian is able to be an obedient child of God because it is a gift and fruit of the Holy Spirit.


(Galatians 5:22-25) “On the other hand the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control; no law can touch such things as these. All who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified self with all its passions and its desires. Since we are living by the Spirit, let our behavior be guided by the Spirit and let us not be conceited or provocative and envious of one another.”


Personally Jesus has told me he is God, and the Christian bible is his written Word.


I have seen Jesus, and he has called me out by name.

Welcome to the forums John. Enjoy the community.
I pray that my welcome does not evaporate any time soon. My message is not one people care to hear, and some dislike it very much.


My message is always confirmed by scripture, and will never disagree with what Jesus taught.


So thank you for your welcome, and let us hope, and pray that it is a fruitful relationship.
