Die begin van Christenskap.
Act 2:1 En toe die dag van die pinksterfees aangebreek het, was hulle almal eendragtig bymekaar.
Act 2:2 En daar kom skielik uit die hemel ‘n geluid soos van ‘n geweldige rukwind, en dit het die hele huis gevul waar hulle gesit het.
Act 2:3 Toe is deur hulle tonge gesien soos van vuur, wat hulleself verdeel en op elkeen van hulle gaan sit.
Act 2:4 En hulle is almal vervul met die Heilige Gees en het begin spreek in ander tale, soos die Gees aan hulle gegee het om uit te spreek.
The in filling of the Holy Spirit, the coming of the living Spirit Of Jesus Christ upon mankind was the morning of the first Christian day, that was the birth of Christianity. Christianity never existed before that, religion did exist, but not Christianity the Christianity of Jesus Christ had its birth on that day of Pentecost in the world. The Holy Spirit did not manifest Him self during Jesus ministry or in the world and even not during the forty day period after the resurrection.
There is nothing normal about Christianity it is all supernational it is all Spirit. Christianity has a secret the secret of divine power that is what makes it different from all other religions in the world. It is the secret of the consciousness it contains and the consciousness that Christianity contains is due to the fact that the spirit of the Jesus who entered into death, and who experienced the resurrection and thereby power over death Who have ascended in triumph to the right hand of God and sat down a victor, and received from the father His spirit and that was poured forth upon his disciples his body. He poured forth His own living Spirit, containing that conciousness, on the day of pentecost it produced in them that which was in the mind of Christ the same power and conciousness, victory and dominion and Christlikeness that was common to the nature of Jesus the Son of Man as He sat down in Triumph at God’s right hand.
What man Received was that consciousness of power and through transmission to those that believed. God Consciousness is a growth an evolution or impartation in the soul the incoming of the Spirit of Jesus, brought with it the very conditions of the mind of Christ Himself. Which Paul claimed we have the mind of Christ, the embodiment of what He had is God Consciousness.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Submitting your body, your soul, and your Spirit in union with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with the purpose of establishing in your body the consciousness knowledge of the living Father and the living Son and the living Spirit. God revealed what the real baptism was suppose to bring into the consciousness of man, and Jesus wanted to produce in the soul and spirit such a consciousness of the living God, that should be evident in the life of the person really baptized into God, buried in Him inducted into God into the nature of God the father, into the nature of God the Son, into the nature of God the Holy Spirit. Salvation real salvation is the working of God by the Spirit that has one object, the transformation of man’s body and soul and Spirit into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Becoming a Son of God.
What an average conception man has of Christianity, all man has being taught of Christianity is don’t, don’t do this and don’t do that, or you can’t or you are okay as you are. What manner of persons ought we to be in all manner of conversation and godliness called Christians, shall we walk in our own light of Christianity, and not seek the divinest life, and let God inhabit through His consciousness our being, and let Him live His live in us. Putting us on the platform of The real Christian life lifting us up into the spiritual world. It is this inhabitation of the consciousness of God in the Christian life that fulfills the soul and being of man, that puts the Christian in Heavenly places with Christ living in the spirit. Not a church consciousness, but the inhabitation of God through his embodiment, brought to us by the Holy Spirit. God consciousness finding it rightful place in our soul spirit and body, the embodiment of God Himself in His temple. Making it finally the revelation of real Christianity. In which we should move life and breath a permanent conciousness of God. Making man the object of the salvation of Jesus Christ. A incarnation of Jesus Christ Himself with the mind of Christ and all the mind of Christ. In the real Christian life.
Soos altyd liefde in Christus,
