INTIMATE
CONFESSIONS
I wanted to tell all of you that I have sought after the Lord for many years, and that I was earthly water baptized in two different earthly ceremonial Christian churches. Once in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, and once in The name of The Lord Jesus Christ. But I must confess that I never felt deep down in my heart, that this type of earthly ceremonial water baptism was adequate for the washing of my spiritual soul, nor did I feel that this earthly water of this world, was the heavenly living water that Christ and His apostles were always talking about in the scriptures. I had read often about the
heavenly living water that The Messiah said He had within Himself
(John 4:10),
and that Moses and the prophets spoke about
(Deuteronomy 32:1-4,
Jeremiah 17:13, Psalms 46:4-5),
and I wondered within myself what this
heavenly living water really was. And
I have longed deep in my heart, so much, to know about it. THE HEAVENLY CONGREGATION: We must confess this very same thing happened to us also. And we felt confused about that type of natural ceremonial H2O water baptism. And we wondered greatly about the heavenly living water of eternal life, the heavenly living water that The Lord said, that in order for anyone to receive it, they must come unto Him, and Him only, in order to receive it (John 7:37-38). And we all longed for it so much.But then we found the true heavenly Church of The Lord, which is His body, His flesh and bone (And in His body of flesh and bone (i.e., in His heavenly Church), we heard many, many of The Lord’s heavenly teachers explain to us about the true heavenly living water baptism of Christ and His Church.
And after
hearing about this one and only heavenly baptismal fountain, that is found
in HIS FLESH ONLY, and believing what we heard to be His heavenly Word of
truth, we made our confession of repentance before The Heavenly Christ and
His Heavenly Church, and we entered into
And so, on The Living Sword web site, we have repeatedly stated and proven scripturally that all carnal ceremonial ordinances (water baptism, Passover suppers, ceremonies, circumcision, Passover feasts, foot washing, etc.) practiced by carnal ceremonial Christendom today, have been erroneously carried over and misplaced in this time of Christ's Spiritual Dispensation and Age of His Grace.
The re-evaluation of The Lord Jesus Christ, i.e., The looking again, at the immortal heavenly Spiritual Word of God, and His heavenly Church, with their heavenly Spiritual authority and heavenly Spiritual doctrine, MUST be DONE, and will be done by all seekers who study the Lord's HEAVENLY scriptures found on this web site. Oh true heavenly seekers, it is very, very important that we all be willing to do this, for we will see NEW THINGS IN SCRIPTURES, things that we have not been told by the carnal earthly systems of this world. For example, let us look at 1 Peter 1:23-25. For it is written, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:23-25 Here we see that our Holy Peter is showing us THE WORD WHICH BY THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED UNTO US. But let us look very closely at verse 24 again, "...For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:..." For our Holy Peter says that IT IS THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL. Now we know that verse 24 comes from Isaiah 40:6. So let us look at Isaiah 40:6-8 to get the full meaning of THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL, for it is written, “The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness (the word "GOODLINESS", used here, means = "PIETY") thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isa.40:6-8 This shows all of us: THE FALLEN AWAY AND FALSE CHRISTIANITY GROUPS that say they have THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL, but in truth we see that they do not have THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL.
Indeed, their religious conversation will show where they dwell. For if they are talking about eating this or not eating that, or dressing this way, or observing natural feast days, or what ever other carnal, fleshly things they can dream up, then it is clear from scripture, that they ARE NOT of THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL.
But when we look at 1Peter 1:23, we see that one is to be born again of an INCORRUPTIBLE SEED AN INCORRUPTIBLE WORD, AN INCORRUPTIBLE GOSPEL. Being that this seed, THIS WORD, THIS GOSPEL, is INCORRUPTIBLE, we see that NOTHING CORRUPTIBLE CAN NOURISH IT. Such as our OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST and His eternal priesthood laws, The Holy Spirit, Heavenly Jerusalem, faith in the unseen, which Christ represents; such as spiritual bread, spiritual drink, spiritual Law, spiritual priest, SPIRITUAL HEAVENLY LIVING WATER BAPTISM. May we ask of you dear confessor, in order to understand more about this
heavenly living water baptism, please take time now to look at
INTIMATE CONFESSOR:
But I must confess that I never felt deep down in my heart, that this natural earthly bread that was made by mankind here on earth, was the very body of the Messiah which is sitting in heaven at the right hand of the Father ( Hebrews 1:3, Ephesians 1:20).
I had read often about the bread being
"The Heavenly Word" of the Creator of mankind. I had read often about it
being the heavenly wisdom above that built her house, the house that once my
soul entered it, this house of heavenly wisdom would cause my soul to
forsake its
foolish carnal earthly thoughts
about its Heavenly Creator, and cause it to seek that which would only come
from heaven
(John 6:32-35, Proverbs
9:1-6, Isaiah 55:8-11). And many
times I wondered within myself what this heavenly bread really was. And I
have longed deep in my heart so much to know about it. THE HEAVENLY CONGREGATION: We must confess that this very same thing happened to us also. And we felt confused about the earthly communion bread that we knew was made out of a corruptible substance here on earth. And we wondered greatly about that heavenly bread of eternal life that Christ said that one must come unto Him only, in order to receive it (John 6:35). And we all longed for it so much.But then we found the true heavenly Church of the Messiah, which is His body, His flesh and bone (Eph. 5:30). And in His body, we heard Christ say that "His Word" (that is now in His body of flesh and bone), was the living communion bread that mankind must eat of in order to live forever (John 6:51). And in His body of flesh and bone (i.e., in His heavenly Church), we heard many, many of The Lord’s heavenly teachers explain to us about the true heavenly living communion bread of The Lord and His Church.And after hearing about this one and only heavenly communion bread, that
is found in HIS FLESH ONLY, and believing what we heard to be His heavenly
Word of truth, we made our confession of repentance before The Heavenly Lord
and His Heavenly Church, and we

INTIMATE CONFESSOR:
Some earthly churches said to me, that we must keep all the ten commandments of the Lord. Some earthly churches said to me that we are not bound to observe the ten commandments anymore. Some earthly churches said to me, not to eat certain foods on certain days. Some earthly churches said to me, not to eat certain foods at all. Some earthly churches said to me, that we could eat different types of foods, and were not bound by law to keep away from any certain foods. In all these things I tried to obey each earthly church that I was in at the time. But I must confess that in my heart, I felt confused about all this. And I knew that this confusion in my heart was not right. I had read that the followers of the Lord had come to a Church that was heavenly (please see Hebrews 12: 22-25), and that this church had in it an innumerable company of heavenly angels. And that this church had in it the Spirits of the just men, who served the Lord in His Holy laws long ago. For example, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Melchizedek etc. And I knew that all these just men, while they were on this earth, DID NOT observe a law dealing with a natural Sabbath Day, nor a law dealing with observance of certain foods. And I knew that the heavenly angels DID NOT serve the Lord by observing these things. I had often read how all these men were pleasing unto the Lord. And I
wondered within myself, what laws did these Holy men observe? And I wondered
within myself, what laws do His Holy heavenly angels observe? For I knew
that His heavenly angels always pleased and served Him. And I wanted to
serve the Lord the way that these angels, and these just men were serving
Him. And have longed so much in my heart to know about these things. THE HEAVENLY CONGREGATION: We must confess this very same thing happened to us also. And we felt confused about all these things. For we wondered greatly about such statements as; "For we know that the LAW IS SPIRITUAL:" And; "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." And; "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."Col. 2:16-17. And we longed so much to understand all these things in regard to His law. But then we found the true heavenly Church of The Lord, which is His body, His flesh and bone (Eph. 5:30). And in His body, we heard Christ say that after He washed us in THE HOLY HEAVENLY CHURCH WITH HIS HEAVENLY WORD, then He would cause us TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HIS HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, and that He would put this LIFE GIVING LAW, into our heart. And that He would call for His corn, i.e., The Word of His Life Giving Spiritual law, to increase in us, (Ezekiel 36:25-29, Jeremiah 31:33).And now we are no longer confused as to what law should we keep, and how we should perform it (Ecclesiasticus 19:19-20).And so, on The Living Sword web site, we have repeatedly stated and proven scripturally that all carnal ceremonial ordinances (water baptism, Passover suppers, ceremonies, circumcision, Passover feasts, foot washing, etc.) practiced by carnal ceremonial Christendom today, have been erroneously carried over and misplaced in this time of Christ's Spiritual Dispensation and Age of His Grace.
The re-evaluation of The Lord Jesus Christ, and His heavenly Church, with their heavenly Spiritual authority and heavenly Spiritual doctrine, MUST be looked into, and will be looked into by all seekers who study the Lord's scriptures found on The Living Sword web site.
