Now this is a good example of what religion is made of '
in the link it says :
Thank you, Father. In Yeshua’s Name I pray. Amen.
Now that you have prayed The Prayer of Salvation know that you have made the best decision one can make.
" It’s vitally important that you find a local congregation of Christ believers to cultivate your new found faith in Yeshua the Messiah."
*
First you must say this prayer which on his self will save you they say ,then you need to enter into a local congregation of christ ,their church !
You will listen to their teachers ,to learn and follow them , their new rules,
the rules of religion men .....
and again you become a prisson of a new prisson house and the holy spirit can not do his work inside you.
If we repend our sin and convess ,let holy spirit take over your live .
We need to point them to Christ ,his body !
We enter Christ ,we live IN HIM we are HIS .
Our heavenly Father will feed you through his spirit of truth,(1Yoch 2;27)
Not religion men will feed his children .
Would you let your children get food from a stranger ?
Our Father wants to feed his children,every time we let him do so... we have fellow ship with him through holys spirit .
This is how Gods children come togetter in his body who are guided by his spirit who takes over your live and your thoughts.
Like Paul said in 1 Tim 3:14-16
14 I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, 15 so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
16 Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith:
Christ was revealed in a human body
and vindicated by the Spirit.
He was seen by angels
and announced to the nations.
He was believed in throughout the world
and taken to heaven in glory.
A lot of church leaders reffer the church described in verse 15 as a real church or congegration of believers. However I see it that the Body of Christ is the church, something you can live in and be part of by studying the bible and pray, not bound by a specific place or building. Paul even descibes this in the verse that follows that this is the great mystery of our faith.
Let us thank the Lord Yeshua the
Messiah for his love .
That he has brought us together, Amen.
That we are committed in Him as his true
reborn children on earth .
We are one in him, His One Body ,His
Temple,who are longing every day to
become free of this world.
He feed His body through Holy spirit, and we share it together as it is passed on.
We have decided to give up this life on earth to save the world trough his body.
Every time as we break the bread we become aware Christ first brought this great sacrifice for the human world.
This makes our own joy complete, we realize how we HIS BODY are formed as ONE .
How true these words are:
For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness.
It is of no importance to all in CHRIST "One Body" if we are circumcised or not.
What is of great important is that we know HIS LOVE AND THIS LOVE BRINGS THE POWER TO STAND FIRM IN OUR BELIEVE.
We live THROUGH SPIRIT.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS DO NOT GIVE UP THIS FREEDOM
Let no one disqualify you, delighting in self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions, inflated without reason by his fleshly mind,
and not holding closely to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and bonds, achieves the growth that comes from God.
If you died with Christ to the elemental powers of the world, why do you submit to regulations as if you were still living in the world?
Such joy ,such freedom
Hallelujah we know Yahweh is Christ our redeemer
Thank you brother Paul for writing this down to us his body.
Col 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in his glory
This is our true one hope!
Amen, Anja Andreas

High Cor
Great what i found on your link ,thanks brother !
During the next few months Bill and his wife, Joan, became an important part of our lives. It was only through their loving kindness and patience that we were able to make such a smooth transition.
They have dedicated the last thirteen years to helping others like my wife and myself learn the real truth. If it were not for their hard work and love for other Jehovah's Witnesses, much of the material that helped us would not be available today. We were convinced that the Watchtower Society was wrong: now I felt the need to find the real truth, for I still loved God with my whole heart and soul.
I had to relearn what I knew about Jesus Christ, because my Watchtower training had taught me that He was Michael, The Archangel. I discovered that this teaching directly conflicts with John 8:58, where Jesus states, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am" (ego eimi in Greek). This same ego eimi was stated by God, the Father, in Exodus 3:14, "...I AM has sent me to you."
Bill put together the following chart, showing Scriptural proof that Jesus is Yahweh (the God of the Old Testament). This proof really helped my wife and myself:
Jesus -"THERE IS ONE GOD"- Yahweh
Dear Cor this was really wonderfull to read brother ,
I agree what this brother Bill says !
He says "I have dedicated my life to help anyone who wants to know the truth about this diabolical organization. I will forever be thankful to those who saved me from this "ravenous wolf" described by the Lord in Matthew 7:15."
Anja says : Amen ,Amen
(IT) = salvation.
Great likn Cor ,Amen brother !

...good example of what religion is made of...
Faith: Anja, I know you frequently state you were 'enslaved' to the Jehovah's Witness religion for 35 years, but scripture speaks for itself, not religion.
I believe
God's irrefutable word over 'extropolations' any day.
1.
'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 ~ His name is Yeshua HaMochiach (Jesus Christ)
2.
'That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' Romans 10:9
3.
'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' John 3:5
4.
'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.' Mark 16:16
5.
'And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.' Ephesians 4:30
6.
'And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.' Matthew 28:18-20
7.
'And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.' Jeremiah 29:13
Amen.
I quickly read the post and thought this is good.... BUT then it says, when you receive the Holy Spirit, you will begin to speak in tongues. Are you saying that unless we speak in toungues, we do not have the Holy Spirit and therefore have not met the "requirements" of eternal salvation? This is a very dangerous and very wrong teaching. This is why many claim to have the gift of toungues but don't really have it. To this day, I've never witnessed a person speaking in tounges while another correctly interprets. (I believe this can happen but just have never witnessed it in person - and I don't count multi-millionare televangelists as authentic). Scripture teaches us that tongues is indeed one of the gifts of the spirit but it also teaches us that it is not granted to everyone. And this is not event the most important of gifts. It is a cymbal clashing in the wind unless it is accompanied by love. Unauthentic "toungues", so prevelant in the charismatic movement, leads to spiritual elitism as this post proves. According to this post, you are not truly saved unless you can speak in tongues. This is absolutely nowhere in scripture and is a very wrong and dangerous teaching.
