Austin Brown Yes, like 1.5 years ago

Austin Brown Yes many years ago.Why do you ask?

Austin Brown it was a long time ago and I actually got baptised a few times and yes,it was in the Namr of Jesus.

Yes also many years ago.Who are you Austin?

Austin Brown Yes

@Austin Brown Austin Brown forgive me if this sounds condescending that is not my intent but can you tell me what baptism is to you. Thanks

You've offered nothing contrary to it though have you, just a bit of bitter comment.

@Austin Brown ... Why do you ask?

Austin Brown Absolutely! Firstly at the First Baptist Church in Peculiar, Missouri. Then again again at Belton Assembly of God.

Strangely, I received the Holy Spirit in 2008 and I had the knowledge that we were entering into the last days.

Austin Brown Probably

@Austin Brown Baptism is not synonymous with saving faith, salvation, and the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Luke clearly makes a distinction between the two in Acts 10:46-48.

@@StarStrife100 I'm glad you said that as I was thinking along the same lines.

Austin Brown 👈 yes. I am pastor in India

+Austin Brown..Yes..I have been baptized a Mormon..a Luthern..and a Catholic! Men cherry-pick the bible and Make-up their own church with all different rules. None of them worked for me.

+Austin Brown.. They Sure Did! I have been properly baptized! I am happy that you care.

Actually Kathleen that highlights just how ignorant and blind you really and.shows that you're not a Christian.

+Marty Blackman.. I tried churches! And I Would not even claim to be a Christian. I Am a Follower of Jesus Christ Christians do not follow Christ. They follow Men's opinions. .

Yeah but then you seem to be forgetting Amos 8:11.

@@bluepacman13 That has no relevance here.

@@ElvisPriscillaPresley Really? God is unchanging and eternal. So of course any actions the Lord does IS relevant. And that action was removing or "taking away" the words and hearing His words toward his people; and justly so. It's clear as day in Amos 8:11. Oh and not mention you have the case for the Tower of Babel; where God took away a one world language and separated the people into different cultures and separate languages so that they wouldn't be corrupted by pride. In that time everyone spoke in one tongue; and then God took away that tongue and multiplied different tongues according to their cultures. Amos 8:11: 11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: What does famine mean? Famine:noun. extreme and general *scarcity* of food, as in a country or a large geographical area. any extreme and general scarcity. extreme hunger; starvation. So in this verse the Lord is *taking away* or making *scarce* His words to the people of Israel. So again tell me, how is it irrelevant to the phrase:"...God taketh away."

@@bluepacman13 i agree with that... maybe you misunderstood.... back to Job, God does not take away like it happened to Job.... God did not take away his children.

@@ElvisPriscillaPresley God is taking away what was evil and corrupt in Job's heart. And Satan is what took away what was good and pure. See, when Job said that phrase he didn't know AT THE TIME what he was saying. His heart wasn't in the right place. He didn't understand it fully. But towards the end of Job, we start to see Job understand though God's questioning and probing of Job's heart. God always looks at the heart, remember. So God showed what was evil in Job's heart, and Job repents because of this: “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (vv. 5-6). - Job 42 And Job 42:3 3You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too *wonderful* for me to know. Now Job realizes how *wonderful* the things he didn't understand that he said in the beginning, because his heart at that time wasn't cleansed. But now that God has cleansed his heart he understands how wonderful those words really are. Job couldn't understand also because his heart was hardened like stone. Job 41:24 King James Version His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. Now God is showing the characteristics of the Leviathan in these verses. However, God IS speaking to Job in these verses. After Job repents, and his heart becomes "soft as flesh" only then does he understand what he was actually saying in the beginning of the book. Thus, creating a well rounded story of Job.

+family lowe.. I Follow Jesus Gospel in Matthew 5 6 7. I don't know how much more Soverign you coud Make God than that. It is you defending the opinions of men. The Christian world is a confusing judgmental Mess. Men cherry-picking the bible and making up their Own gospels..saying they have the truth and everyone ese is Wrong. Christians Condemn me because I follow Jesus Gospel in Matthew 5 6 7. Jesus Saved me from it ALL. I Follow HIM and Christians can go on with their opinions. I will Stay With Jesus. Follow whoever you like!

You should follow all of Jesus' teachings rather than picking and choosing. This is why you are so ignorant.

+Marty Blakman.. The whole bible is NOT Jesus Teachings. Gods Words in the bible are the Ten Commandments in the OT and Jesus Commandments in Matthew 5 6 7. The rest of the bible is stories, hear say and the opinions of men. I Follow Gods Words..not the words of people. I am the only one here who is following Gods Words. You are following Men and their opinions. Peter, Paul and Mary..Are NOT Jesus.

You only quote that one place in Matthew but what about the rest of his Gospel and the other Gospels? You pick and choose what you believe so you're not living the full life and not obeying all of Jesus' teachings.

Marty Blackman..Jesus IS God! That is why I follow HIS WORDS! Paul's words are Paul's words! Paul is NOT God..Why would I follow hs words? Do you not know the difference?

Ah the usual dig at Piper. If you don't like like don't come here. You don't even watch the videos.

+Marty Blackman..Jesus is my Teacher and it is He Who Taught me the meaning of the story of Job. There is no way I would listen to Piper. Jesus sent me here as warning to You. Jesus is Jesus.."Living Water"..as He Said. He is Not a book..a church..a Relgion..a mans version. He is Wanting a direct revelation to you..for you to Know Him..and not a regurgitated version. You are stubbornly Attached to Piper and will be as the virgin with no oil..because you do Not Seek Him..but seek Pipers convoluted version. This is warning to you from God and you can either heed it or continue seeking Piper. Choice is yours..but I will be warning people..as long as Jesus asks me to. I am Not asking Anyone to follow me. I am warning people that you are Not Seeking Jesus for your answers..as He Ask you To. You know Pipers opinions..but you do Not Know Jesus..until You Seek Him.

+Marty Blackman.. It is ok by me. I can see how attached you are to your men. Women were the ones to Best understand Jesus in His Day Too.

@ kathleen Wharton If you had read Job, you wouldn't be saying this nonsense. Which statement in this video did you disagree with, and upon what basis? Give the time stamp. You know you didn't even watch it. You seem like a disturbed person who doesn't like John Piper for some unknown reason. Yet you are always commenting on these videos. (Again, which videos you likely didn't even watch.) Be gone, troll.

+family lowe..I love them..like Jesus Loved Pharisees. You cannot make Wrong into Right. The Truth is often unpopular..but somebody got to say it.
