We are not a living body that contains a soul

 We are a living soul that dwells within a body!

                                    The Church Beginning!

 

 

Act 2:1  

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

Act 2:2  

And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Act 2:3  

And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

Act 2:4  

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

 

Thus was the beginning of the Church. Who was filled with the Holy Spirit? The Apostles of course, the filling of the Holy Spirit marked the beginning of a new era in and for mankind.

 

 

Act 2:16  

but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

Act 2:17  

'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

Act 2:18  

EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.

Act 2:19  

'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.

 

Act 2:20  

'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.

Act 2:21  

'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

 

Act 2:41  

So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

Act 2:42  

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

This was the beginning, I want you to take notice of a few things, a message was preached from the scriptures, and the scriptures were what we call the Old Testament;

  • there was no Bible
  • they received his word, were baptized, and then saved
  • They were continually devoting themselves to fellowship and the breaking of bread and to prayer.

 When was the last time your ‘church’ had ‘communion’? Think about these things.

I humbly hope and pray that you will accept this news with love and understanding. Reflect on its truth. Research it with an open mind in order to see the truth and if in fact any part of these letters that touches on any teaching that you are currently receiving and is shown to you to be true,

 

Then you will give up yourself, your pride, and your ego in this area and give it to the truth of Jesus Christ and change your life accordingly.

 

This is sent with the love of Christ for you from me.
