Are You Guilty of Adultery?

Watch how you dress, women and  be mindful of what you look at, men.
    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
(Matthew 5:27-28)

You woman who dress anyhow and make men lust after you will also be found guilty of adultery/fornication. Remember that it takes two to commit adultery not one. So if you call yourself a Christian and you go about almost naked without thinking of the effects, you will one day  be answerable before God for making many men commit adultery with you. Be very careful if you are doing that for people to look at you and say you look sexy.

Men are normally aroused by what they see so do not think that Christianity is all about the heart so you will dress almost naked and walk about in the streets. You women who post almost naked pictures on the internet (facebook and others), exposing your breast, thighs etc., men are committing adultery with you everyday and you will be guilty on that day.

Men, stop looking at naked pictures and pornography. 

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. 

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:8-9

THE TRUTH ON WATER BAPTISM Part 1

I will restore saith the Lord

Is it ok to baptise  the way we want? Which is the right baptism? Should it be in water, sprinkling or waving a flag over the person? Should it be in the name of the Lord Jesus or in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost? Are they all the same? How was it done in the Bible? I believe since God is not the author of confusion, there must be a clear and definite way to baptise a believer. Water baptism is a basic requirement to a Christian's salvation. 'He that believeth AND is baptised shall be SAVED' Mark 16:16

WATER BAPTISM is a basic requirement to a Christian salvation.
Mark 16:16 - 'He that believeth and is baptized shall be SAVED; but he that believeth NOT shall be damned.'

1Peter 3:21- and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God.It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 Romans 6:3-4 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

The Bible cannot contradict itself because it is the word of God. So how should it be done? Let us therefore take a closer look at this all-time controversial issue.

The word baptize originated from the Greek word baptizo which means to IMMERSE in water.

For the first 300 years from the death of Jesus Christ, baptism was always performed by by IMMERSION OF THE PERSON UNDER WATER.

Acts 8:38-39 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water...

John 3:23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized.

Matthew 3:13-17 The Lord Jesus Christ, our perfect example in all things,  was baptised in the Jordan River

It is therefore evident from these scriptures that Water baptism was originally performed by immersion of the person under water.

In Part 2, we will be looking the name(s) that must be used in baptism. Should it be done in the name of the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT or in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Part 2 is out now
