Do you Believe that Jesus is the Risen Lord? That is the essence of Romans 10:9......... Simply Believe “ that” and you are “ good to go”, as they say......
Consider the ERAS, ancient, historical, modern, future generational mankind.
An ORDER and WAY, is specific, from the beginning of mankind, through the ERAS, even into the Tribulation.
Select Ancient men, has visions, heard from God, and revealed to other men, who were without visions, without hearing.
Ancient men, stopped Listening to men (who had visions, who heard, who spoke what they saw and heard).
Ancient men, began Listening to men (who made up their own gods, who made MEN gods, who made the moon, stars, earth, animals, etc. their gods, who made man-made Statues their gods).
God ignored such men for centuries, and let them worship false gods, and let them experience the failing of their false gods.
God Revived his WORD, by sending HIS WORD, out of his mouth, IN THE LIKENESS AS A MAN, to teach ANY WILLING LISTENER, of Gods TRUTH.
THIS WORD of GOD, sent in the LIKENESS AS A MAN, First went TO the descendants of the the ANCIENT men, whom God Had given;
Visions and His WORD, "speaking":
Inanutshell....those ANCIENT MEN (their descendants), WERE CORRECT;
THAT THEE ONE HOLY GOD of Creation and Making of ALL THINGS, is the SUPREME, EVERLASTING; Lord God Almighty.
(Not the earth, moon, stars, statues, earthly men, etc.)
THIS "WORD" of GOD, sent in the LIKENESS as a man;
SPOKE, TAUGHT, SHOWED BY EXAMPLE, and
REVEALED,
A PRECISE "order" AND "way" FOR ANY MAN, to BECOME:
FORGIVEN "for disbelief",
SOUL, saved "once and forever"
SPIRIT, quickened "once and forever"
SANCIFIED, JUSTIFIED, to be "redeemed"
NEVER, "subject to Gods coming WRATH".
^ THAT is PRESENT "order and way" of THIS ERA...in this day.
THE FUTURE, reveals, AN ENDING, (of the world, as we know it)...having a MIX present ON THIS EARTH of those WHO HAVE submitted to His "ORDER and WAY"...and those WHO HAVE REJECTED, His "ORDER and WAY".
The FUTURE, reveals, An ERA OF "TRIBULATION"...
THAT ^ TRIBULATION IS REVEALED;
IN STAGES.
THE STAGES;
ARE "MEASURES OF WRATH"...
WRATH THAT IS POURED OUT UPON THE WHOLE WORLD.
POURED OUT UPON, ALL MEN, WHO REJECTED ACCEPTING, THE 'ORDER AND WAY' OF JESUS, (the WORD of God, sent in the Likeness AS A man.)
First STAGE of the Tribulation...
THE "WRATH" of the "Lamb of God".
(Which anyone should have learned IS Jesus).
WRATH of the Lamb...
(Remember those who accepted the Lords Offering, order and way, ARE NOT SUBJECT to WRATH).
Second STAGE of the Tribulation...
THE "WRATH" of "Satan."
Both of these Wraths... are upon men ON the EARTH, DURING THE LATTER DAYS TRIBULATION;
OF the Lamb, is for rejecting the Lamb of God.
Of Satan, is for rejecting Satan.
DURING THESE DAYS...
THE Word of God, IS PREACHED, by PROTECTED Witness, (WITH the Spirit of God), SENT by God, first to Jerusalem, then other witnesses, (WITH the Spirit of God), SENT by God to the hills....
* And Finally, TO ALL THE WORLD, Gods appointed Angel, WITH the SPIRIT of God,
SPEAKING the WORD of GOD....
FOR any man (not having pledged allegiance,
TO the Lord God, 'or' TO Satan)...
MAY,
simply DECLARE THEIR "BELIEF"...
TO and IN THE Lord God....
or TO and IN Satan.
Their, "Order and Way"... IS: Different.
THEY, Do not get the LONG speech, of ...
Crucified with Christ, soul saving, spirit quickening, living in Christs risen body, waking in the Spirit, teaching others to the Word of God...avoiding Wrath....
These people, simply declare their Belief...
In the Lord God....In Satan...
A declaration of Belief in the Lord God...
THEY BECOME (saved)...and BODILY KILLED.
A declaration of Belief in Satan....
THEY BECOME (unable to bodily DIE)...
THEY BECOME subject to (required ) TO SUFFER the LAST portion of the TRIBULATION, called:
THE GREAT TRIBULATION...
Which IS:
THE WRATH of GOD.
This WRATH (of God)....IS for Rejecting God.
This WRATH (of God)....IS ALSO mixed with A CUP poured out....called GODS VENGENCE.
This VENGENCE...IS by Gods POWER.
This VENGENCE...IS "for" every man who Believed, and was "tormented" BY men, BECAUSE they believed IN the Lord God, and STOOD with the Lord God, NO MATTER WHAT men did to them.
So YES, there shall be a DAY, God shall pour out His Spirit upon the whole world, and a declaration of "simple" belief, will be Acceptable to the Lord God....
But Currently:
The Lords Spirit IS NOT poured out on the WHOLE WORLD...
THE ORDER and WAY in effect, IS EXPRESSLY ...
A Confession of "Heartful" Belief.
Rom 10:
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Joel 2:
[28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
[29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
[30] And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
[32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Glory to God,
Taken
