THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE 
"And thy life shall be hanging before
thine eyes, and thou wilt not believe thy life"  Oh heavenly
soul, this article
will reveal to you, how
THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE,
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(that He gave on His cross so long ago), has indeed become
A STUMBLING BLOCK for the whole carnal world of fallen
ceremonial Christianity.
But having the knowledge of all this is
NOT ENOUGH, if you Oh
heavenly soul, are not
willing to leave the carnal world of fallen ceremonial Christianity, and come to be baptized
into Christ's heavenly Spiritual world, by entering
So come Oh heavenly soul, look
now at THE SCRIPTURES THAT ARE
GIVEN IN THIS ARTICLE TO PROVE ALL THIS,
and
believe THE SCRIPTURES,
and come, and please do contact us about them.
HE BY HIMSELF In Hebrews 1:3, it is written, “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high;” In Hebrews 1:3, we see that Christ Jesus BY HIMSELF, PURGED OUR SINS!Let us look at the word ‘PURGED’ that is being used here. The word ‘PURGED’ means= A washing off, cleansing, purification, etc. Here we see that THE WASHING OFF OF OUR SINS, is only to be found in the PURGING, THE WASHING OFF, THE CLEANSING, that Christ Jesus did.
CALLING ON THE LORD'S NAME Now is water baptism a washing away of our sins? Indeed it is, for it is written, “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16 Here we see that WATER BAPTISM, is for the WASHING OFF OF OUR SINS. For notice it reads, "...calling on the name of the Lord.” And as we know, it is in 'baptism' that one CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. Let us ask, how then can one have their sins washed off, if they deny that their sins are WASHED OFF ONLY IN THE PURGING OF SINS THAT JESUS CHRIST BY HIMSELF DID?And yet, this is exactly what fallen ceremonial Christianity is telling the people to do. They are telling the people to DENY THE PURGING OF SINS THAT JESUS CHRIST BY HIMSELF DID FOR MANKIND.For when they bring the people to a tank of earthly water, to a lake, to a pool etc, and say to them, ‘this water baptism is for the PURGING, WASHING OFF, OF YOUR SINS', we see from Hebrews 1:3, that they are denying THE ONE AND ONLY WASHING OFF OF SINS, THAT OUR LORD DID BY HIMSELF.Lets look at Hebrews 1:3, one more time. Does any earthly water wash off the sins of the people that go into it? NO!For the scripture says that the Lord BY HIMSELF, washed off our sins, as we see again that it is written,“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high;” Heavenly soul, if seeing this scripture, starts to bring confusion in your understanding of water baptism for remission of sin, it is because you are not yet understanding that there has come a great falling away from the TRUE HEAVENLY GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.OH HEAVENLY SOUL, THE FALSE CEREMONIAL CHRISTIANITY OF THIS WORLD, WILL NEVER BRING YOU TO THE TRUE WATER BAPTISM FOR REMISSION OF SIN THAT IS FOUND ONLY IN CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH. But if you will give yourself the liberty of reading this article, then you will start to understand about the great falling away from the Lord’s baptism for remission of (i.e., the washing off of), sin. So let us proceed, in looking into, THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
SANCTIFICATION In Hebrews 2:10-11 it is written, “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings. For both He that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call
them brethren,” Here we see that true Christians, are to be of the ONE SANCTIFICATION THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST GAVE.For we see that it is written, “…For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:…”. The word ‘ONE’ being used here, means= ONE ONLY!Now we know that ‘sanctification’, is being washed in HIS WATER baptism, for it is written in 1 Cor.6:11,“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our
God.” And again in Eph.5:26, “That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." Eph. 5:26 So here we see in Hebrews 2:10-11, that there is to be ONLY ONE BAPTISMAL SANCTIFICATION WASHING. And that it must be the one that the Lord Jesus Christ gave, or else the people are not of that ONE SANCTIFICATION, and therefore, are not His brethren in this, because it is written, “…For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:…”.Here we say again, that the scripture does point out to us, that the people who say that they are His brethren and who say that they ARE ONE WITH CHRIST, are not His brethren IN THIS ONENESS, if they are not of this ONE, and only this ONE, water baptism that the Lord Himself gave to sanctify the people.Here we see that when the leaders in fallen ceremonial Christianity (that has covered the whole earth), bring the people to a tank of earthly water, to a lake, to a pool, etc, in order to be sanctified by water baptism, they are denying the ONE BAPTISMAL SANCTIFICATION WASHING that the Lord gave for all those who would become His brethren, in HIS ONE BAPTISMAL SANCTIFICATION WASHING.Do you agree? If not, keep reading and you should come to agree, for THE SCRIPTURE PROVES IT BEYOND A DOUBT.
BOTH BLOOD AND WATER Let us proceed, in looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.In Hebrews 9:19-22, it is written, “For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Here we see that BOTH BLOOD AND WATER, are used TO BRING FORTH THE TESTAMENT (COVENANT) FOR REMISSION OF SIN.Here we find the spiritual baptismal understanding, that fallen Christianity has lost. For fallen Christianity does not understand the spiritual meaning of all this.
THE RED HEIFER For example, for the true Spiritual Christian, the spiritual meaning of ‘The Red Heifer’ WRITTEN
BY MOSES, (please see Numbers 19:1-9, and also please remember,
Jesus Christ
said,
"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me"
John 5:46-47), shows that
the washing of PURIFICATION,
comes now at this time, only from Jesus
Christ, the Lamb of God.
Lets look and compare 'THE RED HEIFER' found in Numbers 19:1-9, with JESUS CHRIST. ‘ The Red Heifer’ was to be without spot or blemish and a yoke could have never been on it. Jesus Christ was without sin and was never yoked by the slavery of sin.‘The Red Heifer’ had to be first taken to a sub-priest (Eleazar, a relative of the high priest, Aaron); Jesus Christ was first taken to Annas, sub-priest and relative of the high priest, Caiaphas. ‘The Red Heifer’ was to be taken outside the camp, slaughtered, and burned. Jesus Christ was also taken outside the city and crucified (His suffering was as a burning) Hebrews. 13:11-12. Three ingredients were to be cast into the midst of the burning of ‘The Red Heifer’, (cedar wood, scarlet wool, and hyssop). These three ingredients were present at the suffering of Jesus Christ, (the cross, the Lord’s garment, and the final ingredient presented to Jesus Christ--hyssop). The burning of the Heifer was complete once hyssop was lifted up to Jesus Christ, and this is why He also said, "It is finished." Thus, He died as WRITTEN BY MOSES. And again please remember, Jesus Christ said, "Moses wrote of me". John 5:46-47. After ‘The Red Heifer’ was burned, what remained was Ashes. After Jesus Christ suffered and died, what remained was His dead body. A clean man was to gather the Ashes and place them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. Joseph of Arimathea was a good and upright man and had not consented to the decision of the counsel; He gathered the dead body of Jesus Christ and placed it in a tomb outside the city in which no one had ever lain. This tomb was hewn out of solid rock and qualifies as a vessel, for any vessel WITHOUT a lid covering it was unclean; that is why a stone was rolled in place to cover the tomb. Thus He was buried, as WRITTEN BY MOSES. And remember, Jesus Christ said, "Moses wrote of me". John 5:46-47. Here we also see that in order for the unclean to be SEPARATED FROM their sin and the defilement of death, it was required that the Living Water of separation be ADDED to the ASHES in the VESSEL.
THE WATER OF THE LAW This is the water of the law of the Spirit of eternal life. for this
water is always with the Spirit
This is the ETERNAL LIFE that had to be ADDED again, to the DEAD BODY of Jesus Christ in the GRAVE.
God is A Spirit
(John.4:24),
He
(i.e.,
this Spirit),
is the
Fountain of Living Water ( In order to purify us from sin, the water of the Spirit, had to be in the body of Jesus Christ in the grave. THUS, HE WAS RESURRECTED AS WRITTEN BY MOSES. And remember, Jesus Christ said, "Moses wrote of me". John 5:46-47. Jesus Christ said that if any believe in Him,
Living Water
would flow from them.
He was referring to
God raised His Son through that Spiritual law. NOT through a carnal law, but through His Spiritual law, (see Hebrews 7:15-16).
THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT For it is THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE THAT IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, that makes one free from sin and death, as it is written in Romans 8:2,“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” The purpose of my Lord’s suffering was to stop mankind from sinning against God‘s spiritual law of eternal life.
Once mankind has been sprinkled with this gospel (which is the testimony of
mans defilement in the death (ashes) of Jesus Christ),
then mankind will bury their defiled dead body in baptism (the washing of
separation), and rise up to a totally new life in
Jesus Christ,
where one no longer follows the desires of their flesh, which is in the
carnal law of sin and death, that is against my Lord‘s heavenly Spiritual
law
From the heart, mankind will hate the law of sin and death that he has been caught up in, because that sin killed Jesus Christ. Thus mankind has participated in the death, burial, and now resurrection of Jesus Christ, as it is WRITTEN BY MOSES. And remember, Jesus Christ said, "Moses wrote of me". John 5:46-47.
THIS IS THE GOSPEL.
Now going back to Hebrews 9:19-22, “For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Let us look at the words, ”…with water…” . We find that same word for water, that is being used here in John 4:10, for it is written,“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” Who is the giver of the water here? Amen, only Jesus Christ. For He only and His Church, have the living water to give to mankind (see John 4:14, Rev.22:17).Let us proceed, in looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
PUT AWAY SIN BY HIS
SACRIFICE In Hebrews 9:26, it is written, “For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by
the sacrifice of himself.” What more can be said! For it is clear that this scripture says it all.When those in the fallen ceremonial Christianity (that has covered the whole earth), bring the people to a tank of water, a pool, a lake, etc, in order to be washed for remission of sin, DOES NOT THIS SCRIPTURE TESTIFY AGAINST THEM? Indeed it does, for we see in this scripture that my LORD BY HIMSELF, BY HIS SACRIFICE ONLY, PUT AWAY SIN! Let us proceed, in looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
SANCTIFIED BY HIS
OFFERING In Hebrews 10:10, it is written, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body
of Jesus Christ once for all.” Again, what more can be said! For it is clear that this scripture, just like Hebrews 9:26, says it all.When those in the fallen false ceremonial Christianity (that has covered the whole earth), bring the people to a tank of water, a pool, a lake, etc, in order to be washed, to be SANCTIFIED for remission of sin, DOES NOT THIS SCRIPTURE TESTIFY AGAINST THEM?Many times t hey give the people 1 Cor.6:11,“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” And they say, ‘see, you must enter this tank of water in order to be sanctified’. But we can see from Hebrews 10:10, that they lie to the people, for what does Hebrews 10:10 say?“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” HERE WE SEE THAT THE SCRIPTURE IS SAYING THAT ONLY IN THE OFFERING THAT WAS ONCE FOR ALL, AND SO LONG AGO DONE BY JESUS CHRIST THE LORD; ONLY BY THAT OFFERING CAN ANYONE BE SANCTIFIED.Let us proceed, in looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
ONE SACRIFICE FOR SIN In Hebrews 10:12, it is written, “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,
sat down on the right hand of God;” Here we again see, that JESUS CHRIST offered ONLY ONE SACRIFICE TO THE FATHER FOR OUR SINS.Let us notice that the scripture says, forever. The word forever, being used here, mean = PERPETUALLY, CONTINUALLY. So here we see that the Lord’s offering for our sins is always on going. And let us also notice that in Hebrews 10:12, it is written, "...he had offered one sacrifice for sins...".Here we see that the Lord has offered only one sacrifice for our sins. The word one, being used here means = one!
HOLY UNITY ONENESS Oh heavenly soul, if we are to know our Lord Jesus Christ, so that we may enter into HIS ONE BAPTISM, then we must first come to understand,
the holy unity oneness
LAWS of Christ and His church.
Here we see that when the leaders of the fallen ceremonial Christianity (that has covered the whole earth), bring the people to a tank of water, to a lake, or a pool of water, and say to them, ‘this water baptism that we put you in is an offering to the Lord for your sin’, they DENY, the perpetual, continual, ONE ONLY sacrifice for our sins that the Lord did on His cross so long ago.Is this not true? Indeed it is true! For how can the natural water baptism that they bring, be the baptism that is an offering for our sins when we see from the scripture of Hebrews 10:12, that ONLY THE LORD’S sacrifice (which He offered ONLY ONCE, and which is perpetual, and continual), be the baptismal sacrifice for our sins?
WATER BAPTISM NOT A SYMBOL Now a leader from one of the fallen ceremonial systems would be quick to answer, ‘Oh we do not baptize the people in water for an offering for their sin, we just administer water baptism as a symbol.’ By making this statement, they show indeed that they are in the fallen ceremonial systems. For as we know, scripture does show that His water baptism IS NOT FOR A SYMBOL, BUT IS FOR REMISSION OF OUR SINS. As it is written in
Acts 2:38,
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Here we see that water baptism IS NOT A SYMBOL, but is in truth, for REMISSION OF OUR SINS.
Here we see that by the confession that the leaders of fallen ceremonial
Christianity are making about water
baptism, and by their false baptism that they administer in
Let us proceed in looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
THOSE THAT ARE SANCTIFIED In Hebrews 10:14, it is written, “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Here we see again, the IMPECCABLE TRUTH, regarding those who are to be the sanctified ones.Here we see that ONLY BY ENTERING HIS BAPTISMAL OFFERING, WHICH WAS ONCE AND FOR ALL; ONLY BY THAT OFFERING IS ANYONE GOING TO BE sanctified! Let us look at Eph.5:26, in the Douay - Rheims Bible in order to see this better, “That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water
Note! Here in Eph. 5:26, we see that Christ's Church is sanctified and cleansed only by His washing. For notice it says that the WATER IS "IN" THE WORD, i.e, in The Lord Jesus Christ, who IS THE WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH (John 1:14). If Christ's Church, is sanctified, and cleansed by only Christ's baptismal washing, how can anyone who advocates any other baptismal washing other than the one that Christ gave to His Church, be of Christ and His Church? Here again, we see that the Lord’s baptismal water of life, is ONLY FOUND TO BE IN HIS WORD OF LIFE. And here we see that that water, that is in our Lord, our Word of life, is the ONLY WATER THAT SANCTIFIES mankind, and can cleanse mankind from sin! Let us proceed looking into THE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.
ONE OFFERING In Hebrews 10:14-18, it is written, “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after
that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and
in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering
for sin.” Here we see very clearly, very, very clearly, that the Lord gave only one offering.And that in this one offering only, remission of our sins is to be found. For the Lord said, And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. So again, here we all see that in regards to this one offering only, the Lord said, And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.And here we see that it is written; Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.Showing us clearly, that there is now no other baptism for the REMISSION of our sins, other than THE ONE BAPTISMAL SACRIFICE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for the washing off of our sins.  "AND the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely."Revelation 22:17 The Living Sword Ministries
