It depends on what you mean by "Is". Trinitarian doctrine falsely claims that Jesus and the Father are numerically identical -- consubstantialem. Instead, the Bible teaches that Jesus and the Father are representationally identical as Paul the Apostle argues. Jesus is the image of God.
Representatively Identical does NOT by default mean NOT one and The Same.
God reveals “information, knowledge…little by little, bit by bit….keeping some knowledge Secret”….
Once the “ withheld Secret “ knowledge IS revealed to mankind …the revealing is for all of mankind to freely choose to Believe … or not.
Gods WORD came forth out of Gods Mouth IN the Beginning…and continues to Speak to “particular” Humans in a Fashion / Manner According to Gods Will.
His “Voice” is ALWAYS “steeped “In a “Covering” (of His Choice)…but with “INTENT”…for particular Individual humans TO “BE AWARE” Of His Presence. (Omnipresent).
Fashions / Manners…
*God talked to Adam…what Language?
*God talked to Prophets…what language?
Telepathy or sorts ?
*God gave Visions…Dreams.
*God sent His Word …in A Likeness OF a Human JEWS Body that God prepared…
*God sends Thunder claps…what Language?
*God sends Lightening…Revealing His POWER…(no man can harness).
When a Converted Sanctified/ Saved AND Quickened man HAS A conversation WITH God…
THAT SAVED and QUICKENED man IS “IN CHRIST”
Does God Hear the man…Praising God? Thanking God?
AND
Does God ANSWER questions THAT Converted Saved and Quickened man ASKS? How? Audible Voice? Or Telepathically of sorts… ie. Spiritually without Sound the human can Hear?
I say YES…. And THAT specifically Applies TO a converted / Saved and Quickened man.
All others continue to “go THROUGH” the Advocate God provided… Jesus IF “they” desire God to Know WHERE “THEY” Stand….
Why?
Because “IF” their Standing Continues
“IN Jesus “ ….
Until, the moment of their Bodily Death …
God Shall Save their Soul THEN….And God Shall Raise Their Body Up IN The First Resurrection.
1 Thes 4:
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus will God bring with him.
Which IS Different “Regarding” Those men, who ARE already Soul Saved and spirit quickened
“IN Christ” …. And Are To Be Raised UP by the Lord… IN THE Rapture…
Before The First Resurrection of Those “IN Jesus”…And Those ancient men WHO believed IN God AND His Word…(even when The Name of Gods Word, was Secret to them.)
1 Thes 4:
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Only You and the Lord God Almighty Knows your STANDING ….
Be “it”… IN Jesus or IN Christ (or neither).
The Last Trump…is the Revealing, Manifestation To The Whole World…OF whose Standing IS WHERE.
Yes….They “IN Christ” ARE saved, Quickened, Sanctified….and “KEPT” Sanctified BY The Power Of Gods Spirit OF Truth, “IN” them.
AND “Their NAME IS” Recorded “IN” the
“Lambs Book OF Life”… (which is Never Subject to being Blotted Out)
Rev 13:8
Yes…They who Bodily Die “IN Jesus” Shall BE Saved…AT THAT Time of Their Bodily Death…(Who ARE they, WHO Believed ….BUT NEVER Opened their Mouth and called On the Lord AND verbally MADE a Confession of their Belief…
And Because God “IS JUST”….He Searches Every mans TRUTH in his (spirit), Truth in his Heart… IF that man (Never Confessed his Belief)…yet Held a Belief In Jesus until his bodily death….God SHALL….Save his soul, quicken his spirit….Rise up his departed soul and spirit to heaven….And Raise up his Body in the First Resurrection.
Those “IN Christ” are Risen Up…Before the First Resurrection Of those “IN Jesus”…
Glory to God,
Taken
