Matthew 3:11

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

John the Baptist says:

 

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but HE that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: HE shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose fan is in HIS hand, and HE will throughly purge HIS floor, and gather HIS wheat into the garner; but HE will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

I was baptized in water when I was 15. There was no real change in my life. I just continued to pursue my own ambitions.

 

When I was 37, Jesus baptized me with the fire of HIS Word.  Then I was completely different.

 

God gave me a new heart and a new Spirit.  I was born again into the image of God.

 

Then I wanted to read the Bible and I wanted to be with the people of God.

 

2 Corinthians 5

 

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

Jesus says:

 

Matthew 12

 

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Each of us must conform our thinking to that which we read in the New Testament Bible.

 

Romans 12:2

 

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
