YESHUA THE WAY
THE TRUTH THE LIFE!!!
To all of my brothers and sisters out there. I love you and I do hope that you
receive my words, that you might also receive him in whom I trust, THE LORD OF
LORD’S. I have written this in hope that it might touch some and give a hand to those
in need of understanding, although the only way to gain the knowledge of him is
through diligently seeking him. Through his Word he has shown that he has revealed
things in a partially hidden manner. I believe he did that so that those that did not truly
seek him would not find him. I refer to the scripture where the disciples asked him why
he spoke in parables and he answered them this way in Mathew.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Truly he was allowing it to be hidden from those that did not seek him. Yeshua told Nicodemus that we would not enter or see the kingdom of God if we were not born
again and that if we were not born of water and spirit.
John 3:3 Yeshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
John 3:5 Yeshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
There has been a lot of disagreement over the years on what Yeshua meant when he said these things to Nicodemus. The truth is if we look at the scriptures then we can know what he meant. Above he spoke of water and spirit. After he was risen he tells us what he means in mat 28:19 and Luke 24:45-47, Mark 16:16
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:
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Luk 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Then we have Peter carrying out what Yeshua had said about the water and spirit and the baptism in acts 2:38.
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yeshua Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
In acts 4:12 it tells us what the name should be.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Cev version of the bible is very clear in acts 4:12 below.
CEV Version
Act 4:12 Only Yeshua has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.
I hear a lot of people today say that we only need to just believe on Yeshua and he will save you, but clearly God said to be baptized. He said to be born of water and spirit. He said unless you repent you shall perish.
Luk 13:2 And Yeshua answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
Luk 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luk 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
In Acts 2:38 Peter told us to repent and be baptized in Yeshua name for the remission of sins. Does any of us really think this is an error? I do not. Yeshua said he that believes and is baptized will be saved. He said to make disciples of all nations teaching them to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
The name is Yeshua.
Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
He came in Yeshua Name (please see sections "YESHUA TRUE NAME PROVED" and "JESUS IS FALSE NAME" on this website.
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Col 2:12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Paul surely believed while he was blind even when he prayed but still followed through with his own baptism.
Act 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Yeshua, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
3000 were baptized on the day of Pentecost.
Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
There were 12 men in acts 19 that had already been baptized according to John’s baptism and not of Yeshua’s teaching. These folks had not so much as heard of the Holy Ghost in which they were referring to the Baptism by spirit so Paul immediately asks them then how was you baptized. They answered saying it was John’s baptism. Paul immediately has them baptized in Yeshua name and then they received the Holy Ghost.
Act 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Act 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.
Act 19:4 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 Yeshua.
Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Act 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Act 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.
The reason they had not received was because they were not baptized correctly. This means that there is a specific way to be saved.
The people at Cornelius’s house received the Holy Ghost or Spirit baptism first before water baptism. There was a reason for this occurrence. It was because the Jew’s needed a sign since they did not believe the Lord's spirit was poured out on Gentiles. God worked a miracle and gave them the Holy Spirit first showing it is possible to be incorrectly baptized or not at all and still receive it but we must search the scriptures to find out for sure.
I would point out in Acts 8 people had been baptized in Yeshua name but had not received the Holy Spirit.
Act 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Act 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Act 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.)
Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
The above scriptures prove that the Holy Spirit does not always automatically fall on those baptized in his name. It also shows that the experiences are separate not the same and according to Acts 19 you will know when you have been born of spirit.
The conclusion to all of this is just this to be saved we must repent or we will perish and that Yeshua is the name we must be baptized in for the remission of sins or removal of sin (Acts 2:38)(Acts 22:16) and that we must be born of the Holy Spirit. This together is to be born again or the one baptism spoken of in Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Yeshua told us there was but one way and if we came any other way we would not get in. He also said that few would be saved .(john 10:1) (Mat 7:14)
Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Yeshua Christ:
Some say we need only call on the name of the Lord as Romans 10 says but It also says how shall we call on whom we have not heard and how can we hear without a preacher. This means there is a way to call (acts 22:16).
I am listing some verses below so that you might see the point and to keep in mind he has revealed things in a partially hidden way.
We should all ask ourselves "how did I call on his wonderful name, Yeshua? The way we take his name is to be baptized into it by spirit and water after we have Repented and turned away from sin.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. acts 22:16
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
By grace we are saved but does that mean you and I are not required to do anything? The bible tells us faith without works and we will be dead.
Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jud 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
FOREVER SOUNDS LIKE A LONG TIME; I WANT TO SPEND IT WITH THE LORD!
