They Deny He Became the Baptist

"They" of the title refers to professing christianity, the "synagogue of satan" spoken of in Revelation 2 and 3; ie, the mass multitude who have not died because of two things: #1. They KNOW the identifying factor of a True believer is his or her experience of death and resurrection, but REFUSE to obey the Lord by not entering into said experience via the thousands of opportunities He sends so that they may do so; and #2. They who DO NOT KNOW the necessity of death and resurrection, because they haven't been taught it by their teachers, preachers, and theologians, who themselves are ignorant of the necessity.

The latter are ignorant, for they are taught that "Jesus did it all so you don't have to, and what Jesus did in His death, burial, and resurrection signifies, is if one merely believes it's historical truth, that gets you into heaven". These are the thousands who are "saved as though by fire" and therefore receive "few stripes" because of their ignorance.

Both groups emphasize the "confessing of the mouth the Lord Jesus", (believe in a historical fact and say so with the mouth) and "believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead", is enough to "get you into heaven". This makes Jesus a "talisman":
"an object held (in this case, a statement made-"repeat after me/say the sinner's prayer"), to act as a charm to avert evil and bring good fortune". This is the Jesus of professing christianity.
However, it's not the true Jesus.

The True Jesus is the Pattern which is to be replicated in the individual's life experience by a "death and resurrection". The way to Life; ie, REALITY or HEAVEN is through DEATH. Professing christianity does not have this experience of which Jesus spoke several times, using the phrases, "except a man" and "he cannot be My disciple", in connection with His discription of the "way of death". Their non experience of this truth, which is THE ESSENTIAL "DOCTRINE", is in fact the interpretation of the title of this post: "they deny He became the baptist".

It has already been explained who "they "are. "He is Jesus. No, it is not saying Jesus became a baptist as in the denomination; that's foolishness. The word "baptist" is the word many translators used because they were afraid of the word's real meaning, which is to be "whelmed over " with water-made completely wet. This would have put the lie to their already held belief in child and baby sprinkling. They took a Greek word and made an English word out of it, and this is not the only case where they did this, but that is another subject.

The word "baptist" means death-burial (symbol of being overwhelmed/immersed in water) and resurrection (coming up out of water). By their teaching/non teaching or ignorance/rejection of the truth of the necessity of experiencing the death and resurrection in the life of the individual, they "deny He became a baptist".

This experience is the "third rail" of the christian life WHERE THE POWER IS. This is why professing christianity has no power. When they have the experience, they too then, like Jesus,
"destroy him who had the power of death, that is the devil" in
their own lives; thereby knowing this not just as a mental assent to words on a page. Once again, the word "destroy" here does not
mean"annihilate", but to render idle or be of no effect.

Elijah comes and restores all things. The necessity of understand-
ing and experiencing this truth is being restored today. It is part of "making straight" the way of the Lord. Many are hungering for the living experience of christ in their life. This is the WAY into it. Jesus said, "I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME". What is the way? It's the way Jesus went in His earthly life.

He is saying,"I am the Pattern which you must follow in order to enter into LIFE. It is not enough to know the Pattern mentally
and believe it was a historical event. It must be EXPERIENCED BY YOU, otherwise it has no effect and you have no power.
