There are only two ways to have the spirit of God enter in your heart and life.

The first way is by repenting, believing, obeying baptism in Jesus name, for the
forgiveness or remission of sins, and the spirit entering in as per Acts 2:38,
Mark16:16, and Romans 6:1-6 ect. There many, many, other verses of which I could
easily add to validate this point. The second is by receiving the gift of the Holy
Ghost, with the speaking in unknown or other tongue. It is a added portion of the
Holy spirit, given for witnessing purposes, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 10:45-48/19:6, and 1
Corinthians 14:1-40. The Holy Spirit or God within us, main purpose is to lead and
guide us into all truth. But without it we can not understand or comprehend, the
word of God adequately, as without the spirit we are cut off from the mind of God.
Here are some verses that explain this out. Ecc. 2:13-14: Then I saw that wisdom
excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. The wise man's eyes are in
his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one
event happeneth to them all. Romans 8:14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God. 1 Cor. 2:12-16: Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words
which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of
the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned. (This means that they lost have not the
spirit, and are cut off or severed from God by sin.) But he that is spiritual
judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the
mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Now,
many false Christ's or fake Christians, say many things that not only contradict
and invalidate the scriptures, but are not even common sense. One quick example in
Romans 1:20-23: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power
and Godhead; (There is only one God, nobody needs a bible to see that. Scriptures
restate this fact in Deuteromy 6:4, Exodus20, and Isaiah chapters 40-50!) so that
they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. (A lawyer name Tertullian in 197 AD first coined and
claimed that God was three by using the works of Pagan Plato's Timaeus!)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and
fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Though all cultures can traced back to
their original root believed in simply one, Babylon after the flood, introduced a
triad of equal gods in various forms; which were then handed down to Egypt,
Greece, and Rome.) So, once again it is decision time in the minds of many. Do I
believe the councils of men (The Nicene council adopted trinity to overcome other
competing doctrines or teachings, of the time. Even then, it took until 381 to
hammer out all the necessary concepts of the Holy Spirit as part of these new
doctrines.) or God? What would Jesus do? Well, let us see what he did and taught!
Matt. 23:1-5,13,15,: Then spake Jesus saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in
Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they
themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they
do for to be seen of men. (So these guys say and do not. They like attention and
are lazy.) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye
them that are entering to go in. (Again, They know the word and it's requirements
but refuse to obey it!) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (The spiritually blind leading the
blind!) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of
dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. (These men have a form of godliness,
without the spirit of God in them, and are void of Jesus' power! That sounds like
so-called preacher's of today!)

Matt. 5:20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the
kingdom of heaven. (These guys are the ones who fasted with long faces, so people
would see it. There went their reward! If we do deeds of faith or pray to God; we
must not loudly proclaim it seeking attention, so as to be appaulded by men. They
also prayed self righteous prayers or as God saw it, to themselves.) Luke 16:13-
15: No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love
the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon. (They loved money more than the truth of God.) And the Pharisees
also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God
knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in
the sight of God. Mark 7:6-8: Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it
is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from
me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of
men. (The precepts or ideas of men are nothing in comparisson to the word. IN
OTHER WORDS, OBEY THE WORD OF GOD AND REFUSE VAIN TRADITIONS OF MEN!) For laying
aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots
and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may
keep your own tradition. Well, I know of one traditional teaching that will
exclude men from heaven. Let Jesus explain it to you. Matthew 7:21-23: Not every
one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
(One may notice that baptism in The Lord Jesus name was not administered here. And
certainly, Jesus is Lord of all states Acts 10:36. As well as it being done in all
through Acts, from chapters 2 to 22. If baptism is not completed by the
scriptureal formula, then it was but in vain as said by Jesus here!) And then will
I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Now
Paul said he washed away his sins in the name of the Lord Jesus by faith. He
already was humbled and blinded, repenting of his ways also fasting; just praying
prior to his baptism. Now everybody uses the trinity formula today in baptism.
This tradition was admittedly (By the Catholics and when the Protestants left
them, they took the formula with them. Read the historical accounts yourself.)
started by Justin Martyr in 140 AD. It was further revised by Tertullian and other
Catholics, who dropped the Jesus part of Justin's formula and simply used the
trinity portion. Here is the verse the use incorrectly, and I will show you why.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Jesus in the prior verse said," All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth". And he came in the father's name. John
5:43: "I am come in my Father's name". The son's name was Jesus as per Matt 1:21.
Nobody disputes that! And now the Holy Ghost/Spirit in John 14:26: But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you. So all three are one and the self same one as by 1 John 5:7: For
there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three are one. Nowhere does it state in the word they are three
seperate yet equal parts of a trinity or triad. Another verse that restates this
is Ephesians 3:14-15: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. So we all
ready established (By the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be
established.) that Jesus came in his father's name. So Jesus is the family name of
God! Paul shows the importance of Jesus name in Colossians 3:17: And whatsoever ye
do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and
the Father by him. we all know that baptism is a deed with a word (Jesus) spoken
over it. It is that easy to be biblically correct, and saved by the word of God.
Peter also points to the need of using Jesus in baptism. (He and others baptized
3,000 coverts in Jesus name at Pentecost. He, along with John baptized the people
of Samaria in Acts 8:12-18. Cornelius and the gentiles also were baptized into he
name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins by him in Acts 10:36-
48.) Acts 4:10-12: Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the
stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the
corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. I along in agreement with
the words of Jesus, Paul, and Peter (and not to mention the whole church of the
early saints; as they would not stand by and let anyone change the word of God for
anything.) say this; unless you live by every word of God, then you will run the
race but in vain. The word (or gospel) teaches that Jesus name had to be used
esclusively in baptism. If we add to it or take away from it, there will be dire
consequences to all who do so and follow such teachings. Let the word speak for
itself. Galatians 1:6-10: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but
there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though
we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we
have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now
again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men?
for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. If I wanted to
please the many who follow the broadway to destruction, I certainly would not be
here telling all to return to the faith once given to the early church. Now to the
final verses of this lesson. From Revelations 22:17-19: And the Spirit and the
bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Notice at no
time is there a fee to become saved; by the water baptism and indwelling of the
spirit of God afterwards! Jesus never charged sinners for seminars, nor saints for
that matter. Freely we have been given life, and freely should one give it to
others by the Gospel truth. I never read where Jesus charged a man money or
otherwise, after he healed him. Or of Paul nor Peter, selling salvation packages
or trinkets!) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy
of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the
plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book
of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book. I want everyone to be with Jesus when they expire. Though I know many will
not hear the simple yet profound truth that saves a man from all sin. It does not
matter as God said so and I believe it. That is good enough for me! I pray that
God will use this for his glory alone, in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord and
Savior.
