since you personally cannot choose if you will be bapitzed by holy spirit and fire, how do you "apply" to be baptised by the holy spirit and fire?
Greetings, dear SR, and peace to you! One "applies" by showing oneself obedient to the commands of the One who grants it (please see first post). Even as to the "least" things. Because if you show your faith by means of THOSE things, you are showing your potential to be faithful as to BIGGER things.
what do you need to do in your life to be noticed in a good way by god and his son so that they will consider you worthy of this baptism?
NO ONE is worthy of baptism by holy spirit, dear one. NO ONE. It is an act of MERCY - UNdeserved kindness. One doesn't get it because one has done "something". One CAN receive such things as mercy and forgiveness... by SHOWING mercy and forgiveness... which are commands from God, through Christ... but even so, that does not guarantee a "choosing." Some did not show these things and yet received that spirit (Saul of Tarsus). There is nothing one can DO, dear one. It doesn't work that way.
does god's son get irritated when we say his name incorrectly, and how important is the pronunciation especially in prayer?
Irritated, no. He isn't that kind of "person," not at all. Disappointed, yes. Sometimes, greatly. True, like us when our names our mispronounced, he overlooks it. But imagine how YOU would feel if someone said they loved you... and yet, never called you by your name, but only some name someone else gave them to call you by. While you would try to understand, somewhere inside you would question their sincerity... and their "love"... would you not? Besides the obvious, there is a reason why, then, my Lord says, of those saying, "Lord, Lord", that he never KNEW them: they also never knew HIM.
if you are not jewish, does that eliminate you from being the elect? what if you don't know if you are?
Absolutely NOT. First, while all of Israel will be saved, the Jews are NOT "all" of Israel. There are 10 other tribes. "Jews" are those from the tribe of "Judah", made of up Judah and Benjamin. The other 10 tribes made up the kingdom of "Israel." ALL of these are Abraham's seed... and at least 12,000 from EACH of these (excluding Dan, resulting in a double-portion to Joseph) are among the elect. But the "great crowd" is made up of people of EVERY nation, tribe, tongue, and people... including those Jews/Israelites (Abraham's sons)... who are NOT counted in the 144,000. These, TOO, are of the "elect" - they are kings and priests, too, and so "render sacred service in [God's] temple... day and night." Only priests can render "sacred" service.
Revelation 5:9, 10; 7:9-15
how do i wash my robes in christ's blood if i don't get baptised with water?
Your "robes", dear one, is the vessel that is your flesh... with its blood. It is the "outer garment." That garment is soiled - it has sin and death in it. Water baptism cannot remove sin and death. It is only a symbol of your "death" as to the Law Covenant, and "resurrection" to a NEW life... one following Christ, not Moses. Baptism with HOLY SPIRIT, however, "LIFE'S WATER"... meaning CHRIST'S (John 14:6) "water"... which flows out FROM him (through him is more accurately, actually)... is what cleanses the body... AND the spirit... of sin... and, ultimately, death. Because it is sinLESS flesh... that lives... forever. SinFUL flesh... dies.
You "wash" your robes, therefore, symbolically... when you eat from the Tree of Life (its "leaves"... which are for the CURING of the nations... which is the flesh of Christ)... and drink the "blood" of Christ. Your FAITH... in the atoning value of THAT blood... HIS... is what turns it from mere wine... to cleansing blood ("Unless blood is poured out, no forgiveness of sins take place"). In doing this, you are, in essence, asking that your "robes" (the outer garment that is your vessel/body) be washed. Cleansed. Of sin... and thus, of death.
However, faith in that blood... while being disobedient to the one whom it belongs... has a canceling effect. It is like using the blood as a talisman ("all I have to do is eat and drink and I'm good to go." So MANY erroneously believe this. Again, that whole, "Lord, Lord, didn't' we do..." thing). You might have faith in IT... but not in the One that it CAME from, whose blood the wine represents. So, JUST eating and drinking... without DEMONSTRATING one's faith IN that act... by doing acts that BEFIT such eating and drinking... is a moot act. Because you must EXERCISE your faith in that blood... by doing what it's owner DIRECTS. Yes, it starts with obedience by actually eating and drinking, but it doesn't stop there. There is still acts that demonstrate love, faith, forgiveness and mercy, pity and compassion, peace, etc.
how do you know when you've cleaned the inside of your cup?
I can only answer that you will know... because there won't be any "dirt." Or... for example, in MY case... as much "dirt" (LOL!). You can start it... but only he can finish it. And it's highly unlikely that YOUR cleaning will leave you "spotless." Highly unlikely. But it's the attempt... the DEMONSTRATION of your faith... that counts here.
how often is prayer nessesary?
One can NEVER say "thank you" enough, can one? To ANYONE, let alone the Most Holy One of Israel? However, we are not asked to pray, say, five times a day while facing east, etc. One should pray... as OFTEN as one NEEDS to. Only one can decide that for oneself. My thinking is that, since I want God's name to be sanctified... every day... and I want His will to be done... every day... and I want His kingdom to be finally established... everyday (although I do not "crave" His Day)... and I want/need forgiveness... every day... and don't want to be led into temptation but be delivered from the Adversary... every day... and want His blessing and holy spirit to be upon me, His servant, and my household... as well as ALL those who call upon His name out of a PURE heart... and THEIR households... every day... then for ME, I should ask (pray)... every day. Do I? Yes... and no. I TRY to every day... but sometimes I get interrupted, sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes my flesh is sick, etc.
But each one has to decide for himself/herself. One cannot tell another how much they should pray. Because then, such prayer is COMPELLED... done out of fear and guilt, out of "duty"... and not out of LOVE.
i always feel like i'm bugging god, like he has more important things to do and more people that need his help than listen to me ramble on about my life. he already knows what i'm doing and he knows my heart and so how often should i bother him to say "hello and thank you"?
Another dear one asked me this same thing, earlier this week. And my Lord himself responded and told me to say to him:
"How can the Father or I grow tired of the prayers of a sincere one... when I've said to KEEP seeking, KEEP asking, and KEEP knocking? If I don't open to you now, do not take it wrongly to heart. KEEP asking. KEEP knocking."
He then had me explain to the dear one why it was taking SO long (in his eyes). This dear one is a very focused, impatient person. Has to "get it done, NOW" kind of person. No delaying or lollygagging, if he can help it. What he didn't understand is that, while that is a strength, in some senses, it is also a weakness that can be exploited by the Adversary. Because THAT one's challenge is "skin in behalf of skin and ALL that a man has, he will give in behalf of his flesh."
What does that have to do with this dear one? His inherent impatience could put him in a position where he goes, "Forget it; I'm not waiting any longer. I can't wait; it's been too long." Well, that exactly what occurred with Israel, isn't it? They, too, ran out of patience... MANY times... because things weren't happening according to THEIR timetable, THEIR expectations. It got SO bad, once, that they turned around... and constructed a golden calf. Because Moses was "taking too long."
Not only are God and Christ not on OUR timetable, dear one, but time is not limited for them like it is for us. So, they are not compelled TO rush simply because we run out of patience.
Do NOT stop, then, praying. KEEP asking, KEEP seeking, KEEP knocking. It WILL be opened to you. And... you can hear. Everyone can. They just don't know/admit/realize/acknowledge/ believe it. All of which is a LACK... of faith.
were christ and adam "brothers"?
Yes. Half-brothers. Same Father, different "mothers" -
Adham = JAH (Father) and Hagar/Earth, the physical realm (mother). He was born a "slave" because his mother is a slave, thus so are her "children" (those attached to and led by the flesh). He was a half-breed: spirit in a fleshly body, but one that was not yet "cursed." After his sin, however, he became spirit in a fleshly body that was "cursed"... and because of his error, his "mother" was also cursed.
Christ (as a human) = JAH (Father) and Mary. Spirit in a fleshly body that was "cursed" because it was inherited from Mary, who inherited HERS from Adham (after HIS sin/curse). In this state he was also half-breed.
Christ (as a spirit) = JAH (Father) and "Sarah", Jerusalem Above, the spirit realm (mother). He was born FREE... because his mother is free (and so are her children, the seed). In THIS state he is a "purebred": spirit Father AND spirit mother. This is the state that those who belong to him... will attain to... by means of adoption.
were the "sons of god" the ones chosen to be the forefathers to civilized worlds like adam was to earth?
I'm sorry, but I don't know who or what you're referring to here, dear one. Can you clarify/elaborate, please? Thank you!
are there other "son of god" that we don't know of?
No. Adham and Jah eShua are the only sons... thus far. At some point, when all of the seed of Jerusalem Above are "fertilized"... so that the "temple" is complete (and thus, God's kingdom "established")... these, too, will be sons. But if you're asking about potential spirit being sons, no, there are none. That myth originated with the confusion between the definition of "gods"... and "sons."
"Gods" (little "g")... are those who are immortal (thus, spirit beings). But being "gods" does not make them SONS. Greek, Roman, Norse, and other mythologies, however, have combined the two... based on some "logic" ("Well, if He is the HIGHEST God... and He is a god... and they are lower... but gods... they must be His sons"). This is false.
They are gods, yes, because they are immortal (do not die but must be destroyed, among other things)... but being a son doesn't makes one immortal (Adham turned out not to be) and being immortal doesn't make one a son.
i have too many questions. please ignore the wolves.
Please, do not worry about the number of questions. If I can/am permitted to respond, I will. I am YOUR servant, and theirs (God and Christ). And certainly do not worry about the "wolves". There really aren't any here, actually. Several "little dogs", perhaps... which I can handle... but not wolves. Those, I leave to my Lord. As the Fine Shepherd, handling them is HIS job. I am truly not capable, mere sheep that I am.
thanks.
You are QUITE welcome and, again, peace to you!
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SA
