Greetings.​​​​​​​ Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.  It was over at last Pentecostal Catechism; after 8 weeks studying the wisdom of men we were now all fools.Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. This morning they would baptize you in physical water then you will be saved from a burning hell, and this time they were going to get it right. Those darn Baptist did not Baptize you in Jesus name so you did not have the HOLY GHOST. Now neither group, Pentecostal nor Baptist did not have the spiritual revelation of what Baptize means to God. Ephesians 5:26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. The above verse speaks of a Spiritual Church with Christ being the head; we are made part of a Spiritual body as His words are being revealed to us. Jesus name is His word and we must be Spiritually baptized into it, and has nothing to do with physical water.  Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and name is called The Word of God. You can't receive the Holy Ghost by a physical act. Acts 5:32And we are his witness of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.Matthew 3:11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I , shoes I am not worhy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. John the Baptist used physical water, Jesus Baptism to those that obey the truth, it's a Spiritual baptism. When we obey God’s truth which is His revealed word then we are being taught by God's Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God. And after the 8 week of catechism was over we were commandant to be baptized in physical water. I decline for whatever reason, remembering as kid going to Church with my dad, I had already been dumped in water and coming up out that water thinking: ''this guy made me lost my balance with I wasn't ready to be forced backward''. Water baptism, foot washing, dancing are all works of the hand which makes us look good and gives us something to boast about. Ephesians Not of works, lest any man should boast. Now ask yourself who gets the glory as we show off our Certificate Baptism, and who needs a God when we can purchase a Baptismal pool: model 13A with a no-slip surface with interior corners are rounded for safety under $2000.00.   Galatians 6:13 For neither they themselves who are cicrumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Circumcised here speaks of a physical act like water Baptism so man can glory to what he's done. 1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandants of God. The commandants are his revealed word all 66 books of the Bible. Now most people know and can quote: Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy GOD in vain. Now by comparing spiritual with spiritual or scripture with scripture, let God word interpreted itself. Psalm 119:113I hate vain thoughts vain thoughts: But thy law do I love. Millions of men or women think through a formal education they can know God. 1 Corinthians 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.2 Kings 18: 20 Thou sayest,[ but they are vain words,] I have counsel and strength for war . Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? Whom dost man trust? Himself, his education his own counsel which are his vain thoughts or a pool of water. Now if we want a heated Baptismal pool it is going to cost you more physical monies and will not cost your life in this world: you die in your sins. Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.  When men tries to understand the Bible in our flesh we are at war against God. In fact we do not even know we are all born with a carnal mind so how can we war against it? Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law neither indeed can be. With you compare scripture with scripture you're going into battle against the carnal mind: So blew the trumpet. The spiritual trumpet is calling a assembly of God’s scriptures with same word in them to destroy the carnal mind in battle. That why people go wandering from Church to Church to hear Preachers, no I mean dissemblers of God's words.Psalm 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression.Jeremiah 4:5Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say Blow ye the trumpet in the land. The land represents God's word which the carnal man mind or dissemblers despised. Psalms 106:24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word.  God's revealed word will show our transgression because you comparing scripture with scripture with the same words in them. This what God's reveal word wants to do: Jeremiah 4:5 Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. The defensed cities are not physical but the carnal mind of man which God's revealed word will destroy if you let it take that wicked city.  The carnal mind of man is spiritual rich with his own thoughts. Proverbs 18:11 The rich man's wealth is his strong, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Shibboleth Ministries goal is to make you spiritual rich by destroying the wealth of the carnal mind. Matthew 19:23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of heaven.At last Catechism was over now the elders of the Church came to see if you had received the Holy Ghost. Three of the most trusted women of the Church came and stood by you as you now supposedly filled with the Holy Ghost and now would speak in tongues. Jeremiah 17:5Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the lord. One by one the dissemblers came down the line of Catechism students saying ''just speak it out and the tongues would flow''. Even back then some 30 years ago I always felt something was wrong with show in the flesh. Now we had assembled in the daytime and nothing was done in that 8 weeks to help destroy the carnal mind and we were still in Hell. Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. Job 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it above, neither let the light shine upon it. Spiritually we were all in very dark place that Sunday morning and didn't even know it.
