Upon This Rock I Will Build My Church and The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against it!
If any person or angel tells you to do anything contrary to the great commission given the Apostles, friend you better run away from them fast.
Galatians Chapter 6
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
This Gospel preached by Paul could not be different then the Instructions in Righteousness given Peter by Jesus Christ himself!
Peter received his instructions in Righteousness, and was appointed by Christ to be the First Apostle and Pastor of Christ's Sheep the Churches of God, Christ confirmed his will here in this ordination of Peter three times in the presence of the eleven, and by Christ Jesus' hand Peter was personally groomed and prepared for the Great Commission. Christ walked with Peter bodily before and after the resurrection, Christ confirmed and reaffirmed Peter as the man appointed to preach the Message of Salvation when the Day of Pentecost was fully come.
If Paul's Gospel would have been different then that delivered by Peter and the others with him not counting Judas who betrayed Christ and hung himself, then Paul could no longer maintain his integrity as a Minister of the Gospel, and he would also be guilty of elevating himself above all that is called God, and would have become to the Churches that follow in the error of another Gospel or perversion of the Gospel, more qualified to lead then Jesus Christ the Lord our Savior, who is the Head of the Church, and shed his own blood for the Church!
This theology is Anti-Christ attacking the Church by creating delusions in the minds of men, using another perversion of the Gospel to confound and persuade the minds of men to move away from the Instructions in Righteousness commanded and taught them by Christ and delivered to the First Apostle Peter and the other 11 Apostles with him to the Churches of God.
The 11 Apostles and the 12th to replace Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver are listed below:
Acts 1:13,14,24-26
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both 1 Peter, and 2 James, and 3 John, and 4 Andrew, 5 Philip, and 6 Thomas, 7 Bartholomew, and 8 Matthew, 9 James the son of Alphaeus, and 10 Simon Zelotes, and 11 Judas the brother of James. Judas Iscariot, was replaced by 12 Matthias, remember Christ told Peter whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth is also loosed in heaven.
This authority was given by Christ himself to this man ordained and chosen of Christ, Peter the Pastor and Apostle to Christ's sheep.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Paul was baptized into the Name of Jesus for the remission of Sins also, and became part of the body of Christ sometime later after the message of Acts 2:38 was Preached by Peter and the others with him in The book of the Acts of the Apostles.
Don't you dare believe the lie and believe Paul preached a different or liberal Gospel, full of endorsements to commit sin or denied baptism in the Name of Jesus!
Paul was telling us things that are hard to understand if you do not have the Holy Ghost to illuminate you to this teaching. The Bible is written to the benefit the Righteous not to the heathen that have the Lawless Spirit leading them and convincing them to Sin.
Somebody that will not conform to the will of Christ, and obey or become obedient to Christ and the Gospel, is not qualified no matter if they live to be 150 years old to give an opinion of what Truth is, or how to follow Christ and share the Gospel!
The Scripture below I believe reveals Paul's steadfast belief in the Doctrine of Baptism for the remission of sins in the Name of Jesus Christ, (YahShua).
Acts 19:4
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
I believe Paul is misunderstood in his writings because many do not understand that he was filled with the Holy Ghost which many deny today even suffering the loss of their salvation because they deny Conversion.
If you are converted, that is the Spirit of Christ which is the Holy Ghost, dwells within your person, that is in the Temple of God as
Paul said, "Of which ye are!" There are things Christ simply will not let you do!You will not deny Christ! You will not invite sin the spirit of Lawlessness into your Temple and tell Christ to get out!
However for the sake of getting to the root of this overview of the message preached in that day lets consider this.
If there were another Gospel, other then that Gospel which was received by Peter revealed to him personally by Christ while he was yet in his resurrected body here in his earthly ministry, whom do you think would more likely have another or different position on the Gospel Paul, or Peter who was actually with Jesus before and after Christ's resurrection?
The Bible warns us saying, If Satan comes as an angel of light is it any great ,marvel that his ministers will be coming as ministers of righteousness.
Many prophets are naive and have no idea they have fallen into apostasy and are profaning God's instructions in Righteousness.
Satan is a deceiver and a liar and takes advantage of many good hearted people. The Bible records that if possible he will try to deceive the very elect the chosen of God.
If you look at the vision of New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelations the 12 Apostles Names are in the Foundations of it. God would never honor the Names of the 12 Apostles in the Foundation of the Holy City, The Church, if they didn't know him or what they were even talking about. Think about it.
Rev 21:14
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
After Christ had risen from the dead he appeared unto the eleven. Jesus Christ Spoke plainly before the eleven that they would all know who he had chosen to lead his Church and had ordained to first preach the Message of Salvation, The Gospel of Christ. Jesus would also choose one of the eleven to be the First Apostle and to Lead the Church into Conversion by the Holy Ghost when the fullness of time would come, and the Spirit would be poured out upon those who gathered in the upper room, on the day of Pentecost.
John Chapter 21
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.16 He saith to him again the second time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.17 He saith unto him the third time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
Peter was ordained of Christ and did preach the first Gospel Message of Salvation through Christ in Acts 2:38. Peter remained loyal to Christ and the sheep throughout his life even unto his death and gave himself in Martyrdom at an old age rather then deny the Message and Truth and his ordination by Jesus Christ, still many even to this day have despised Peter's ordination and authority in the Church of God.
Peter was Jesus Christ's chosen Apostle to the Church ordained by Christ himself to feed the sheep. This was declared plainly three (3) times in the presence of all of the eleven that the other ten (10) would know also, the Pastor of Christ's sheep.
Peter was the Pastor Christ had chosen personally to feed his sheep. Peter was commanded by Christ to preach the Message of the Gospel, which is the Message of Salvation through Christ, and his love manifest unto all the world.
Yet as Christ Jesus said in his prophetic warning to Peter, "when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not."
The FULFILLMENT of the PROPHECY
This prophetic look into Peter's future implied that Peter's love for Christ, and his Lambs the Church, would prove itself through his death, even as Jesus Christ, (YahShua), had proven his love and forgiveness for us at the cross. Christ confirmed his love and trust in Peter by placing him at the head of the earthly ministry of Christ after Christ's resurrection from the dead, and the day of Pentecost had fully come.
Christ confirmed the word and instructions given that day by adding 3000 souls to the Church. Peter delivered the instructions to follow that all Righteousness should be fulfilled in the Gospel of Acts Chapter 2:38. We read later in another place their were 5000 added to the church and thousands of thousands. Christ himself confirmed and put his approval on the message Peter preached by signs following the ministry of Peter and John and the others.
Peter got the Message and Instructions for the Gospel he preached from Jesus Christ himself, the Greatest preacher to ever walk on this earth even till this day!
Christ's Message and the instruction to the Church given through Peter, is being usurped and twisted by many in our day. To this very moment in time people deny the message that Christ honored and ordained Peter to preach by which 3000 were added to the Church the first time it was preached.
Many usurp these instructions as though Peter were a heretic and one without authority in the Church's of God.
Obedience to the Gospel Message of Acts 2:38 delivered 3000 from the power of hell and death on the day it was first preached, God confirmed the ministry of Peter through signs of healing as he and John were used by Christ and healed the crippled man that was lying by the Temple Gate called Beautiful.
The spirits in the world today treat the Gospel Message of Acts 2:38 that Peter preached on the day of Pentecost as it were an accursed thing to continue in the doctrine, and they entreat the work and life of Peter the Apostle, God's man of faith, and the First Apostle to the Churches of God, as one who is still denying the Lord Jesus Christ.
Many declare the message they preach today which bears a different set of instructions, to be the message Peter should have preached. If it didn't come from Jesus Christ or Peter and the Apostles where do you think it came from?
Today the instructions in Righteousness are set against the instructions of Peter who Christ chose to feed his sheep. Peter is the Chosen Apostle, and delivered the first Salvation Message and Instructions in Righteousness to the Church on the day of Pentecost!
Therefore the True Church of Jesus Christ of which Peter was ordained to LEAD and FEED has continued in obedience.
The obstinate Church's have taken a different path one that Peter would not have chosen in his youth, even preaching a different message and the instructions in Righteousness have also been changed.
No wonder many of the Churches today are sickly and sleep. Many Churches have no power to resist the power of sin, therefore they have been overtaken by spirits of Lawlessness and hatred for the Gospel that was first delivered to the saints in which Christ said, You shall receive power from on high after the Holy Ghost has come upon you.
Many to day are not ashamed to preach a lame message to Justify the Sins of the congregation but they are ashamed to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Necessity of baptism in the Name of Jesus (YahShua) for the remission of their sins.
Some are not willing to follow Christ because they want to have their sinful lifestyle and claim salvation too!
We must travel where Christ went if we are to follow him!
1. Christ died - We must deny the Flesh man of Sin, turn away from Sin and turn to Christ. We must ask Christ to bring us into subjection to his will for our lives.
2. he was buried We must be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of sins that all righteousness is fulfilled as Christ told John the baptist when Christ was baptized of him. (That we may become both kings and Priests through Christ in the Kingdom of God)
3. Christ was raised to life everlasting by the Spirit. We are then prepared through obedience to the Gospel and sanctification by it to receive Christ, the Holy Ghost into the Temple of God. We are now prepared to be a Living Testimony of Christ in the earth and to take Christ to those who do not know him to share the Message of Salvation and perform the office as a Priest and a King in the Kingdom of God.
We must follow him into the death of the Grave which is baptism in the Name of YahShua, Jesus, we are then made a new vessel prepared through obedience to the Gospel of Christ, for him to come and dwell in our Temple.
The Instructions in Righteousness is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is simply his Death, Burial and Resurrection. How do we know we are right with God? Christ said, My sheep know me they hear my voice and follow me.
What did Jesus' baptism say to us?
Christ through his mother Mary's father was a descendant of King David of the Tribe of Judah, and a Levite through Mary's Mother, who was believed to be John the Baptist's aunt a descendant of the Levite priests, and also Levite.
Considering the fact that YahShua, Jesus, had a 50% priestly bloodline and a descendant of King David, and the concept of him being both king and priest, something interesting he said at his baptism needs to be seen in a new light. Bear in mind that it is the kings responsibility to execute judgment from the throne, and the priests responsibility to execute righteousness by officiating at the altar. This is not to say that the King has no need of righteousness or the priests of judging a matter. It simply means that each has their responsibility before God and the nation to see that their respective divine mandates are executed.
When YahShua, Jesus came to John and asked John to baptize him, John immediately recoils at the thought.
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?" But (YahShua) Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Matthew 3:13-15
John was accustomed to baptizing people in response to their repentance of sins. It was a symbolic public declaration of a new birth into a new life of righteous living. He knew YahShua had no need of such a baptism because he had no sin to turn from! It is YahShua's answer to John's protest that is interesting here. He said, "It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness". YahShua indicated to John that this was not to be the usual type of baptism. His baptism was to "fulfill all righteousness". I believe YahShua's baptism was a type of anointing into the priesthood where righteousness is to be fulfilled... and this by John, the son of Zacharias and Elizabeth... a full-blooded Levite.
Rev 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 5:9-10
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
I appreciate how the word builds on the baptism of Christ., I had not previously associated both the Kingship and Priesthood together with his baptism by John. This does in fact strengthen and support the view and belief that we are heirs through Christ of the Kingdom, and have become by his authority, Kings and Priests in respect to sharing this Message of the Kingdom through the ministry of the Word and Baptism, into the Name of YahShua, Jesus All Praise to YahShua.
Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Christ said,
Mt.16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it.The only thing we can conclude is that some may be following another gospel, possibly even another Jesus rather then YahShua, or another salvation doctrine other then that delivered to Peter the Apostle and the saints of old by Jesus Christ, (YahShua) himself?
The judgment and favor of God upon the ministries of our day that claim to be the Churches of God, wherein we will naturally find in them, true and false ministries, both the Lawless and the Righteous, the wheat and the tares, cannot be determined as blessed or cursed of God because of the size of the congregation, or the millions of dollars or lack of dollars that have been poured into them.
This doesn't prove God is blessing or not blessing a ministry any more then saying if your a Christian you will not catch a cold or die from a terrible disease.
We only have the two (2) witnesses to lead us, the Word of Truth and the Spirit of Truth.
Many ministries are not following the examples of the Churches established by Christ in the book of Acts nearly two thousand (2000) years ago. Many ministries today have no power nor do some have a Living Testimony of Jesus Christ our (YahShua), because they are allowing The Man of Sin the Son of Perdition to rule the Congregations through ignorance of the Truth, and do not have the Power of the Gospel of Christ.
Some are afraid to preach against sin because it may drive away their wealthy contributors and the bills may start piling up.
If you preach the full Gospel, the Salvation Message delivered by Christ to the Apostles and the bills can't be paid because you preach the Truth, then that should tell you that the condition of people's heart's aren't being changed under the other message anyway, and has not been of any profit, or help for them to enter the Kingdom of God anyhow.
Ministers are wasting their time if their not showing the congregation the snares of the Evil One who intends to steal the souls of the congregation and their worship away from the True and Living God (Remember Eve?).
Every minister and Saint should have the Spirit of Christ dwelling within their temple and be busy as a Living Testimony of Jesus Christ, revealing the snares of Satan and showing the way to others into the Kingdom of God.
If your a minister you would probably be healthier, and happier, if you were to find something else to do with your talents if you are not sharing or preaching the Truth that destroys the works of the Devil.
Paul said, "Because some drink of the Lords cup unworthily that many are sickly and sleep." Satan has seared the conscience through many sins and sorrows.
Some ministers trusted by very good hearted people have said it's OK to partake of the Lord's supper with unrepentant sin in your life.
Many people and ministers have fallen victim to this treacherous enemy of our soul who has twisted the Word as it was in the days of Eve, in the Garden of Eden and have convinced the Congregations with the old lie of the Serpent saying, "you shall not surly die, if you partake of sin and Lawlessness. These are forbidden fruits for the Children of God to partake of."
They that teach these things could not say such evil, if the Spirit of Christ were truly ruling in the Temple of God, of which you are!
Christ will not live in our temple if we live an adulterous lifestyle loving the wages of sin more, or rather then having Christ's Righteous Spirit, the Holy Ghost, the promise unto us of reconciliation to our Holy God, God wants a place to dwell within our Temple.
Therefore many continue to trample the blood of our Savior underfoot until finally there remains no more forgiveness for the sin. Sin has become more dear to many then Jesus Christ, who shed his blood that we receiving him into our Temple should destroy the works of the Devil. If sin rules our temple then we do not have Christ, and we are going to be found wanting in the day of Judgment. The virgins had no oil when the bridegroom made his appearance and they did not make it into the marriage supper of Christ.
If this is not getting through to you, it is because the Spirit of Truth can no longer speak to your heart, Satan has stopped your ears from hearing the Truth and sustains you on his damnable lies.
If the Message and the ministry you have trusted in cannot deliver you from sin and damnation it may be because you have built on another foundation or another Gospel other then Christ, many have not been established on the ROCK, but are building instead on the sand, wood, hay and stubble which shall perish when Gods Judgment by fire comes because of mans wickedness, as the Judgment by water came upon the ungodly, in the days of Noah.
Peter resisted this spirit that came into the Church and sought to change and usurp the teaching of the Apostles even giving his life as Christ also did for the Church and Christ's Lambs.
If one has not submitted to follow Christ to fulfill all Righteousness, as Christ himself exampled unto us, then they do not truly have The Promise of the Kingdom. These also do not have the Authority through the indwelling Spirit of Christ to instruct others in Righteousness. All must follow the example of Christ, YahShua to enter the Kingdom of God, perform the office of a Priest to instruct others to fulfill all Righteousness, or have the Authority to cast down, destroy and overcome through Christ, YahShua all the principalities and powers of the deceiver.
Christ said, "My sheep know my voice they follow me, they will not follow another." If your not following Christ YahShua, friend you may be grazing with the deaf, blind, sick and unclean sheep, who are being led around bridled by another Shepard!
The inverted cross is often attributed to Peter. The tradition that he was crucified on an inverted cross (upside down) is first found in Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History 2.25.5-8. St. Jerome further records the tradition that this was Peter's request (viz. so as to leave our Lord's death distinctive from his).
As to the biblical record, however, all we have is John’s testimony of our resurrected Lord’s words to Peter to the effect that he would be martyred (Jn.21:18-19).
If your a Minister today, or just a hungry soul looking for the Truth of the Gospel unto Salvation, listen to the Gospel message of Acts 2:38 you can still hear the voice of the very first New Testament Preacher his name was Jesus Christ, (YahShua), Emmanuel meaning God with us.
Can you hear him? Can you hear him? Can you hear him?
Jesus is saying to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs....Feed my Sheep....Feed my Sheep!
Satan has fought against the Church for almost 2000 years through the use of governing powers, false prophets and the doctrines of devils.
Is this the fulfillment of the Prophecy, is this what Peter stood against even at the cost of giving his own life?18
John 21:18
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
