1John 5:16
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
The sin that is unto death is the curse, the sin of the world. This is only remitted by baptism in Jesus name.
Isaiah 43:27-28 (King James Version)
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Adam brought death and the curse to man. Moses set up a priestrhood given by God to deal with this sin.
Baptism is our day deals with this sin. Baptism is the name of Jesus remits the curse when we are born again by water and spirit.

21And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
let see is baptism symbolic and a symbol of what really saves you yes!

which is it then wilby is baptism literal what saves us or is only a figure of what truly saves us?
It can not be both because if it a figure then it just showing in a symbolic way that One is change when we believe fully on Christ.
wilby~
the name YAHU'SHUAH. Being translated Yeshuah, then Jeshuah, then to us whom speak english it is Jesus. Of which Jeshua is probably the better translation for english. Anyway Jesus it is and Jesus it will remain for most.
This is just more evidence of a stubborn heart. "Remain for most?" Are you aware that in the Latin languages "J" is pronounces "H"? (I am sure you are.) And how about in all the cultures of Africa, or Malasia? I have no idea how His name is pronounced there; but HOWEVER it is pronounced, is not the important issue. Who He is, IS.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
"Ha, ha! I'm saved, and you're not! I got baptized -
and in the proper name, JESUS- and you didn't! Do it, do it right, and get saved!"
Now tell me just how this differs from Judiasers forcing circumcision? Or dietary laws? (Which Peter apparently continued to follow.)
1) Believe (salvation), 2)receive (the Holy Spirit, confirmation/witness BY GOD, of salvation), and 3) be baptized (as a public display/witness of your salvation).
I have no problem with baptism. But I didn't have my newborn baptized, did you wilby? Prophet? If baptism brings salvation, that's the VERY FIRST thing I would have done. But, alas, it doesn't work that way, does it? (rhetorical)
Then, finally, for the millionth time:
Jesus can't HAVE a Father if He IS the Father. He cannot RETURN to the Father if He IS the Father.
Jesus can't SEND another Comforter if He IS that Comforter.
His language shows unity, not singularity. Just as it did in the Old Testament...but then language means nothing to you.
Believers are UNITED IN Christ, but we are neither each other or Christ.
Prophet, wilby~ Is the bread and wine of communion Jesus' literal blood and flesh, like Catholics believe? If not, why not?

The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Having a good conscience toward God is to have you sins remitted.
Thanks for the supporting scripture sugarman!

I teach salvation according to scripture, nothing I say is of my own words. I have the spirit of an apostle and I preach with boldness. This was prophecied of me at least twenty years ago.
1) Believe (salvation), 2)receive (the Holy Spirit, confirmation/witness BY GOD, of salvation), and 3) be baptized (as a public display/witness of your salvation).
Your words ONLY, not scriptural!!

Sorry but you are wrong again. I did have my children baptized and my son baptized on the eighth day, my daughter was later then that but not much. I had the curse removed from my children at the earliest possible moment. Plus all the other good things baptism does for us.
Then, finally, for the millionth time:
Jesus can't HAVE a Father if He IS the Father. He cannot RETURN to the Father if He IS the Father.
Jesus can't SEND another Comforter if He IS that Comforter.
So YOU say again! The Father is the Head of Christ and Christ is in the body of the Father. Christ is the Head of His body and we are in the body of Christ.
Everything is in order BUT everything comes from the Father as the Father is the ONLY being with life of His own. Everything else He gave life.
His language shows unity, not singularity. Just as it did in the Old Testament...but then language means nothing to you.
Believers are UNITED IN Christ, but we are neither each other or Christ.
You are really going backwards with this statement.
Prophet, wilby~ Is the bread and wine of communion Jesus' literal blood and flesh, like Catholics believe? If not, why not?
What did Jesus say?
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
My dear Ripley you state:
Then, finally, for the millionth time:
Jesus can't HAVE a Father if He IS the Father. He cannot RETURN to the Father if He IS the Father.
Jesus can't SEND another Comforter if He IS that Comforter.
the Name of the Father is Jesus.....
The Holy GHost is the Father(one and the same Spirit)...the Holy GHost created a vessel in which His Spirit dwelt the human part of Him...
The Father was IN JESUS...the dove descending was SYMBOLIC of the Holy GHost which was already in Jesus....the flesh was the son of the Spirit...when he returned to the Father that was his translated human form which returned to the Spirit....Jesus can send the Comfortor because Jesus is the Holy Ghost which was sent in HIS NAME...
2Cr 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates
If Jesus Christ isn't the Holy Ghost then pray tell how can you have Jesus Christ in you?
His language shows how God works as a Father, as a Comfortor and as the Son who died for our sins...but He is still One God and One Saviour...
God Himself says there is None beside Him...No Saviour and No other gods.....THere is only One Person in the Godhead whether you accept it or not...Col 2:9 states it clear.....and 1 Tim 3:16 makes it abundantly clear that God and Jesus are ONE AND THE SAME...
As for communion...the bread and the wine or symbolic not literal.
RE: My statement about our salvation being better then the O.T. salvation is backed up by the Apostle Paul.
Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
The O.T. salvation is GREAT and eternal but the new has better things for those who make it. I am not boasting as I live in fear of God for my fleshly ways even though my spirit is screaming for truth.
Now ask youself; what are the new and better things?
Anyway, at this stage we all can only hope to attain as we have not yet attained, therefore our salvation journey continues.
Send Your Sins Before You to be Judge Now. Least they follow after you to Judgement.
1Timothy 5
24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
When you are baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins you are sending them to be judged and dealt with at that moment. The way they are dealt with is they are remitted, gone.
If you do not get baptized into Jesus then when you go to judgement your sins will follow you there and be with you. You will not escape judgement. You ONLY hope is to deal with sin NOW.
People, don't gamble on this by supporting a church constitution or for reason of supporting your pastor. Many Pastors and wrong, far to many are repeating lies that have been handed down and they have nothing to do with truth and salvation.
Baptism saves!
1John 5:16
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
John 1
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
This sin is remitted at baptism.

Isn't the House of Judah also the House of Ephraim and they are now one tribe?
No. They are all sons of Jacob, but each of the 12 sons represents a different tribe. Centuries ago the 12 sons divided themselves geographically into two kingdoms - North (aka Israel aka Ephraim) and South (aka Judah). Interestingly Ezekial foresaw a day (yet future) in which they would again be one united family again - 12 in 1 (echad). Similarly Jew and Gentile are echad in Messiah as man and woman are to be echad flesh in marriage. And of course similarly the Father, Son, and Spirit are united in the echad YHWH Elohim.
BTW, what does your question about Judah/Ephraim have to do with prophet's claim that Jesus is the name of the Father?
Blessings in Messiah!
