This is an excerpt from Josephus.
ANT. 18. CHAPTER 5. PT. 2. ?and so to come to baptism; for that the washing [with
water] would be acceptable to him, if they made use of it, not in order to the putting
away [or the remission] of some sins, but for the purification of the body; supposing
still that the soul was thoroughly purified beforehand by righteousness.?
This is what Josephus had to say about Johns carnal water baptism. It was NOT for the
remission of sin, but for the purification of the body. This is contradictory to what
the bible implies about carnal water baptism. Righteousness is, doing things right,
the way God said to do them right.
Carnal water baptism only washes the outer body. All the water in the world will not
wash away one sin. Johns baptism was before Jesus, therefore it would be unlawful for
John to practice such an act, as the removal of sin, with no blood involved. Heb 9:22.
and without shedding of blood is no remission. John was still bound by the law of
Moses which required a sacrifice and the shedding of blood, for the remission of sin.
The shedding of the blood of Jesus was for the remission of sin, but that could not be
used until after that act was completed. If the blood of Jesus was not necessary for
salvation and the remission of sin, Jesus wasted his time. If man could be saved by
carnal water washing, Jesus wasted his time. Jesus could not expect any glory for a
useless act. Josephus was right. It would be impossible for Johns baptism to remove
the sin of the soul. Only washed in the blood accomplishes salvation. Salvation can
only be granted by God, washing your soul in the blood of Jesus.
Salvation works like this. Man ?MUST BE? drawn by the Father. John 6:44. No man can
come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: Then it is the duty of the
Holy Spirit to place you under conviction. That is, convinced of sin. At the exact
time of salvation, you are washed in the blood. Cleansed of all sin by the blood of
Jesus. Rev 1:5 Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
This is the only baptism you need. This is the washing or baptism of the soul in the
blood of Jesus. This removes all sin. You can feel the removal of the weight of sin.
It is like a great weight is removed from you. 1 John 1:7. the blood of Jesus his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
If someone tells you that magic words and magic water will cleanse your soul, they are
a liar and are the servants of Satan. The hardest people to convince they need
salvation are those that Satanist has lied to, and convinced them, they are already
saved. You are only saved by the terms set forth by Jesus. You must humble yourself
before God, and admit to God, not man, that you?re a sinner, and are willing to
repent, and you must be washed in the blood. If you did not experience salvation in
this manor, you ARE NOT saved. This is a process that can not be performed by man. Man
can coach or encourage, but the actual cleansing of the soul, is accomplished by God,
using the blood of Jesus. This is all spiritual. The washing in the blood is non
carnal. The only thing that could be considered carnally experienced, is the feeling
of the weight of all sin being removed from your soul and the overwhelming joy that is
felt by the circumcision of the heart.
God does not lie, but the Catholic church does. They had control of the bible you use,
at their beginning. They are the one?s that lied to you and claimed you must believe
it, because it is the word of God. That is, after they altered it. Many have come to
the catholics for salvation and only received an ungodly, useless carnal ceremony.
These people expected salvation and the servants of Satan put them on a bee line to
hell. As long as these people believe they are saved, it is extremely hard to convince
them otherwise. I heard one catholic say once. ?I don?t care if you prove it, I still
won?t believe it.? Catholic false salvation is almost a guarantee of entering the
fiery pit. This is the way of the con man. Promise them anything, but when the pay off
comes, all are left with nothing but trouble. All they had to do, is look at the law.
When the catholics gathered all the works and writings and edited them in about 325
ce. This is when the falsehood of the carnal water baptism was inserted in the bible.
Under the old covenant that John was bound by. There must be the shedding of blood for
the remission of Sin. The same for the new covenant, but with using the washing in the
blood of Jesus. The carnal blood of Jesus is dried and gone. The spiritual blood
remains, which is righteousness. Never has dunking in water or magic words ever been
acceptable for the removal of sin. This would remove the purpose of Jesus. And delete
one of the duties of the Holy Spirit. It also removes the power of allotting grace
from God and gives that power to man. This is a instance of, Strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel. Fighting over dunking or sprinkling, when the whole ceremony is
unlawful and invalid.
Those seeking salvation must also believe that sin can be removed by the power of the
blood. That belief must be from the heart and lip service will not suffice. Grace from
God is a requirement and faith is also a requirement. If you did not feel the weight
of sin being removed, it is because you were not saved. Mat 15:13. EVERY plant, which
my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Every person that has been
granted salvation by grace is a planting of God. Bind the tares for burning. In the
judgment some may try to use lies told to them by ungodly men as an excuse. But they
will hear, Mat 7:23. Depart from me I never knew you. The likelihood of a catholic
being saved is almost nil. However, salvation must be offered to them. I don?t condemn
the deceived, but the deceiver. The instant a person is saved, they have more
authority with God than the entire Catholic hierarchy.
Jesus forgave sin. This does not mean that the sin just disappeared. Mat 8:17 Himself
took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to
bear the sins of many; Jesus took these sins and fought them in his own body. He had
overcome the sins of the world. Isa 53:11. by his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. You could say that he who
had no sin was the greatest sinner of all. But not by his own sin. Hardly has there
been another that would do such a thing. Some may do this for a loved one, but Jesus
did this for strangers. Luke 4:23 Physician, heal thyself: Mark 15:31. He saved
others; himself he cannot save. The sins were overcome in his body by his righteous
blood.
A person must be washed in the blood. After this there is no need for any other
methods or ceremonies to consummate that washing. The washing of the outer body is not
necessary, once the soul is cleansed. In fact, the desire for carnal washing of the
outer body for the removal of inner sin, is a sign they did not believe the power of
the blood to be sufficient. You might say, But the bible says! This is when you must
realize that your bible has been altered and contaminated by ungodly men. Once you
feel the weight of sin removed, this is Gods way of directly manifesting himself to
you. This is the manifestation of the presence of God; or the Divine Presence. True
salvation makes you a member of the tabernacle of the body of Jesus. There IS power in
the blood. The promises of the bible only extend to those truly saved.
