But when anyone is victorious through his toil, then honey-voiced odes [5] become the foundation for future fame, and a faithful pledge for great deeds of excellence. This praise is dedicated to Olympian victors, without stint. My tongue wants to foster such themes; [10] but it is by the gift of a god that a man flourishes with a skillful mind, as with anything else. For the present rest assured, Hagesidamus son of Archestratus: for the sake of your boxing victory, I shall loudly sing a sweet song, an adornment for your garland of golden olive, [15] while I honor the race of the Western Locrians. There, Muses, join in the victory-song; I shall pledge my word to you that we will find there a race that does not repel the stranger, or is inexperienced in fine deeds, but one that is wise and warlike too.

This Judas bag is from the Greek:
Glosokomon (g1101) gloce-sok'-om-on; from 1100 (speaking in tongues) and the base of 2889; prop. a case to keep mouthpieces of wind-instruments in, i.e. (by extens.) a casket or (spec.) purse: - bag.
It is made up of two words:
1. Glossa (from Strong's g1100) means "speaking in tongues" especially an unacquired one.
2. Kosmos (g2889) means the "orderly arrangement" or the "adorning" world. this is derived from (g2864 or Komizo which means "to carry off."
Kosmos (g2889) kos'-mos; prob. from the base of 2865; orderly arrangement, i.e. decoration; by impl. the world (in a wide or narrow sense, includ. its inhab., lit. or fig. [mor.]): - adorning, world.
"Yet, through all there was an overarching harmony. The Greek word cosmos which we translate by universe originally meant beauty and harmony.
The Pythagoreans discovered mathematical formulae for the musical harmonies. They believed in the harmony of the sounds produced by the movement of the stars.
Therefore, they spoke of cosmic harmony of the spheres, each of which has a different sound, but all together creating a harmonious sound. If you delete the half-poetic, mythological elements from such ideas, then you can say that they had a universal, ecstatic interpretation of reality." (Tillich, Paul, A History of Christian Thought, Touchstone, p. 333).
Kosmocrator (g2888) kos-mok-rat'-ore; from 2889 and 2902; a world-ruler, an epithet of Satan: - ruler.
Kraeteo (g2902) krat-eh'-o; from 2904; to use strength, i.e. seize or retain (lit. or fig.): - hold (by, fast), keep, lay hand (hold) on, obtain, retain, take (by).
Rulers of the darkness of this world (Gk: Kosmokrator 2888) meaning "holders of this world, or Lord of the world. This is used of Satan and his angels (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4).
Myles.Werntz.Ephesians.2.Predestination
Abilene Christian University has added a Baptist Theologian. This is consistent with ACU and the dogma of its Theology department. Most of the once-Christian Bible Colleges are repurposed to the Baptist or other non-Biblical Theology to replace Scripture.
BAPTIST THEOLOGY IS DEFINED AS NOT CONNECTED TO THE HISTORICAL TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS, MADE CERTAIN BY SIGNS AND WONDERS, AND LEFT FOR OUR "MEMORY" BY EYE AND EAR WITHESSES.
CALVINISM HAS INFILTRATED ALL OF THE ONCE-CHURCH OF CHRIST PROPERTIES. MYLES WERNTZ IS NOT A "CHANGE AGENT."
CLICK BELOW TO PROVE Scripture makes it very clear that the ELECT applies only to the tiny number of PRESERVED Israelites who had not bowed to Baal.
FIRST, JESUS AND ALL OF SCRIPTURE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT COMMERCIAL-GRADE WORSHIP INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT CHRISTIAN BUT IN FACT ANTICHRISTIAN.
Calvinist cannot read paragraphs. The effect of spiritual blindness is to miss out on being a Christian. Jesus MARKED those who go beyond READING or SPEAKING the WORD, logos or REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE as ANTI-Christians.
Jesus said that the ancient and modern Pharisees who said that Jesus "made Himself God" that they were Blasphemers.
John said that those who denied that it was the MAN Jesus and them made Lord and Christ 30 years later came in the FLESH are ANTICHRISTS.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
then shall ye know that I am he,
and that I do nothing of myself;
but as my Father hath TAUGHT me,
I speak these things.
Trinitarians call Jesus and and His Father liars:
Num. 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie;Holy Spirit cannot be the name of a God or even a person: pure breath or SPIRIT is a parable to fool the foolish. Spirit defines God putting His WORD into the MOUTH of the MAN Jesus or Nazareth for the Last Days.
neither the son of man, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good
Jesus denies that He is God: He is the SON OF MAN.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
the Father hath not left me alone;
for I do always those things that please him.
Jesus said that those who SPEAK their own WORDS when speaking for God are the sons of the Devil.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the WORDS that I speak unto you,
they are SPIRIT, and they are life.
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the SON OF GOD: and they that hear shall live.
John 5:26 For as the Father HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF.
so hath he GIVEN to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
BECAUSE he is the SON OF MAN.
Theologians boast that they speak Historical Theology depending on CO-HUMANS to Co-Inspire. Jesus denies that they are DISCIPLES who are STUDENTS. A student has nothing to say or teach: that is why the MARK of the Little Flock of Lost Spirits are commanded in 1 Timothy to be SILENT--male or female-so that we might all be SAFE and come to a knowledge of the truth.Num. 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the SON OF MAN that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
IF ye continue in MY WORD,
THEN are ye my disciples indeed;
The Holy Spirit picks words which Simple Simon could understand.
SPEAKING the WORD, logos or REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE as ANTI-Christians.
The Holy Spirit picks words which Simple Simon could understand. Peter says BAPTISM SAVES because that is the only way to REQUEST A GOOD conscience or A holy spirit.

Erasmus who gave us the Greek New Testament noted that mercenary priests have utter contempt for what Jesus called Holy Scriptures. They, like all modern preachers, pick a nice-sounding phrase from a single verse. They then proceed to the MARK of one who BLASPHEMES the Holy Spirit (God's Breath).
First, the Word of Logos is God's Regulative principle which He put as WORDS into the MOUTH of Jesus for the LAST TIME. The Word was picked from the Greek as Logos which identified their Hermenes. Hermes was the pagan and perverted mediator between say Apollyon the leader of the Locusts or musical worship teams.
Second, theologians use the word HERMENEUTICS which they, alone, can use to make God's Word INTELLIGIBLE for which they deserved a wage. Civil Greek society and Scripture calls religious craftsmen--beyond READERS--Parasites,.
Ephesians.1.4.He.Chose.us.in.HIM
If you read Scripture you will discover that only a small remnant of Jews who had not bowed to BAAL were the PRESERVED or ELECT.
AND
Always in addition, the Word is sent to Gentiles.
Myles Werntz Baptists Theology at Abilene Christian University.
We don't know which of the 200 Baptists SECTS ACU is supporting but our First Look salvation by faith AND God gives the FAITH proves that they believe that they are predestined or the ELECT. We will prove that:
The ELECT are the Tiny Remnant of Jews who have not bowed to BAAL.
In addition the Assembly (school) of Christ was/is open to GENTILES whom God will invite. The Synagogue existed as long as God has had people to INSTRUCT ONLY and Isaiah 49 forbids the SHILOH or REST people from attending the synagogue of Levi IN A CHURCH NEAR YOU. You are not a true ISRAELITE whom GOD KNEW BEFORE. If you are not a VERY OLD JEW who lived under the LAW there is no way that you can be the ELECT or PRESERVED REMNANT.

According to American Baptist Churches USA, by 1790 there were 35 Baptist associations in America and some 560 ministers.
"After the First Great American Awakening 321 separate SECTS developed mostly Baptists."
There is a Baptist World Alliance, which includes some 200 Baptist organizations and conventions.
Contrary to all of the lies about "sectarianism" there is not ONE Church of Christ DENOMINATION meaning with a governing organization. However, places like ACU work really hard to INSTITUTIONALIZE and therefore no ORGANISM.
Southern Baptists have SECTED OUT and have found the Once-Christian University as the place to fill their coffers. The NACC or Christian Churches have also REpurposed several to take the mark: The BEAST is Apollyon with the number 666 and he is the LEADER of his musical worship teams. BEAST is also defined as A new style of music and Satyric (perverted) Drama
"About 30 percent of Southern Baptist pastors consider their churches Calvinist, according to a poll last year by SBC-affiliated LifeWay Research, but a much larger number 60 percent are concerned about the impact of Calvinism in our convention.
Calvinism is already shaping the next generation [NEXGEN at ACU-Pepp;erdine] of Southern Baptist pastors through the influence of R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the SBCs flagship seminary in Louisville, Ky., and popular charismatic speakers like Minneapolis author John Piper and Seattles Mark Driscoll.

This paper looks at the LIFTED two verses to make Paul and Jesus in His STATE as Holy Spirit liars.
Faith ALONE is the saving and efficacious use of the Word of God, according to Rom. 10 [:91: "If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Furthermore, "Christ is the end of the law that everyone who has faith may be justified" [Rom. 10: 41. Again, in Rom. l [:17], "He through faith is righteous shall live."(4)
Calling on the Name of the Lord in Romans IS BY BAPTISM.
http://pineycom.nationprotect.netMailActs2216.html
It is not possible to be able to read Scripture and just be ignorant. Jesus had Paul warn that THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
Baptism shall be given to all [only] those who have learned repentance and amendment of life, and who believe truly that their sins are taken away by Christ, and to all who walk in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and wish to be buried with Him in death, so that they may be resurrected with Him, and to all those who with this significance request it [baptism] of us and demand it for themselves.(22)
The only condition for being baptized is: Do you believe that Jesus is the CHRIST the Son of the LIVING God?
Those who believe that Jesus WAS GOD IN THE FLESH cannot be baptized and desperately seek what they cannot have.

These pseudo scholars are not allowed to know. SPIRIT is figurative or a PARABLE to hide from those who make merchandise of Christ. Spirit always means that God puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of A Moses, the Prophets and Lastly the MAN Jesus of Nazareth
If you don't quote ALL of Romans 10 you make Paul and ALL Holy Scripture a lie. Romans 10 Cycles all of the STEPS which must rational occur before one ACCEPTED as a Disciple or STUDENT of Christ-all. ALLEN STANGLIN MOCKS THE "STEPS"
http://pineycom.nationprotect.netAllan.Stanglin.Five.Steps.Salvation.html
We believe that salvation is a gift of Gods grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). Christs death fully accomplished justification through faith and redemption from sin. Christ died in our place (Romans 5:8-9) and bore our sins in His own body (1 Peter 2:24).
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth [complies] and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth NOT shall be damned.
Believeth not or Apistos defines a TRAITOR or enemy of Christ. This is one OF the World, Kosmos, Ecumenical or the Kingdom of Satan attacking the Kingdom of Christ. Ecumenical marked a Race of Vipers who would be baptized with WIND and FIRE. These are Aborigines among which are Lost Spirits God sent Jesus to RESCUE.
The Pharises made long PRAYERS (Hymns in the Greek) in order to STEAL the living of Widows. Pharisees are Hypocrite meaning rhetoricians, singers or instrument players.
Even more TERMINALLY EVIL is a band of people who boast about INFILTRATING AND DIVERTING the schools paid for by Widows and honest WORKING people. Jesus would say that they CANNOT be baptized because they do not GLADLY receive the WORD and are SEALED by baptism. The Word or Logos is God's REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE outlawing anything beyond READING or SPEAKING that which is WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING.
Theology, by definition, repudiate THE FAITH once delivered to the Saints. Myles Werntz leading ACU's BAPTIST THEOLOGY quotes
Eph. 2:8 For BY grace are ye saved THROUGH faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph. 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For Christians who are Disciples or STUDENTS only, Ephesians 1 proves that Paul is writing to those ALREADY SAVED.
Second, no "scholar" is allowed to ask: SAVED FROM WHAT?
The first verses of Ephesians 2 shows that we are Saved From the Corruption of NOT-Christian universities.
ACU's Baptist Theology gives itself to Co-inspiri. Therefore, as a terminal Sin they ADD to Holy Scripture.
We believe salvation is received by grace ALONE, through faith ALONE, in Christ alone.
Good works and OBEDIENCE are results of salvation, not requirements for salvation.
Jesus in the STATE of Holy Spirit guided Paul to say:
Rom. 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
Rom. 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom. 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom. 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom. 6:15 What then? shall we sin,
because we are not under the LAW,
BUT under GRACE? God forbid.
A CHRISTIAN-DISCIPLE-STUDENT cannot miss the fact that Faith, Grace etc speak of the NEW COVENANT where BAPTISM SAVES
Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye YIELD yourselves servants to OBEY,
his servants ye are to whom ye OBEY; whether of sin unto death, or of OBEDIENCE unto righteousness?
Rom. 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye WERE the servants of sin,
but ye have OBEYED from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom. 6:18 BEING THEN made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Due to the greatness, sufficiency, and perfection of Christs sacrifice, all those who have truly received Christ as Savior are eternally secure in salvation,
Jesus was sent to seek and translate spirits of LOST SPIRITS who are iN the world but not OF the world as Jesus was not OF this world.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his WORD were BAPTIZED:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
The MAN Jesus of Nazareth made the WORD as God communicates both visible and audible. The INFILTRATED people of ACU deny the WORD or Logos as God's Regulative Principle which marks human theology as ANTI Christian
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Just as salvation cannot be earned by good works, neither does it need good works to be maintained or sustained. Good works and changed lives are the inevitable results of salvation (James 2).

Salvation, Love and Faith is produced by the Grace WHO has appeared to teach us. Paul excludes any of our "works" which are specificially defined as religious ceremonies where the Word of Faith is replaced by songs and sermons composed by humans believing that what they have to say or act out is more important than the Words of Christ in the apostles and prophets. Both Jews and Gentiles were dead in their sins specificially because their worship was the worship of the Prince of the Power of the Air: the Jews had been abandoned to worhship the Starry host.
T - Total Depravity
That means simply MAN is DEAD. The Bible says that you and I are dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1-6) unless we are born again. DEAD!!! More than that, the man or woman who is dead in sin hates God, and his "carnal mind" is "enmity against God" (Rom. 8:7). His will is stubbornly steeled against God. This Biblical idea changes a lot of modern talk about salvation.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Because of Musical Idolatry God turned the Israelites over to worship the starry host (Acts 7 etc). The "play" they engaged in was the musical idolatry of the Egyptian triad imaged by Apis the golden calf.
The starry host was "Sabazianism" and being a goyim or national religion was called "demonism" by Paul speaking of Mount Sinai.

Pi.N.5.21 Pindar, Nemean 5.2 Chronicles 29 speaks of Hezekiah's plague stopping animal slaughter in Jerusalem. This was a political move because Hezekiah was king and the Levites were under the King and commanders of the army.
They "Soothsayed" accompanied with the musical instruments ordained by David for making war. In Revelation 18 they performed "Sorcery" accompanied with musical instruments. God knew that they offered the sacrifices to Him but THEY ate the meat: all sacrificial systems were prompted by evil men under a spirit of flesh and blood lust.
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
The Jews burned infants just before Hezekiah and Just after Him: and yet all modern musical idolatry uses this event as their pattern. Christ in the prophets calls them liars and blasphemers because He said that God did not command sacrices or burnt offering. To think so proves that people have never read the Old Testament.
Gregory Nazianzen Oration on the Holy Lights.
Gregory--like all readers of the Old Testament--understood that God turned the Israelites over to worship the starry host and the rituals, like those of Greece etal., were absurd. No true Christian would tell you that God commanded you to imitate musical instruments of the Levites who were the chief guards and executioners of anyone who came close to the God-Quarantined sacrificial system.
As it was at Mount Sinai, so it is in the masses of pseudo worship which is a modern system of feudalism.

"II. Therefore listen to the Voice of God, which sounds so exceeding clearly to me, who am both disciple and master of these mysteries, as would to God it may sound to you;
I Am The Light Of The World. Therefore approach ye to Him and be enlightened, and let not your faces be ashamed, being signed with the true Light. It is a season of new birth, let us be born again. It is a time of reformation, let us receive again the first Adam. Let us not remain what we are, but let us become what we once were. The Light Shineth In Darkness, in this life and in the flesh, and is chased by the darkness, but is not overtaken by it:-I mean the adverse power leaping up in its shamelessness against the visible Adam, but encountering God and being defeated;-in order that we, putting away the darkness, may draw near to the Light, and may then become perfect Light, the children of perfect Light. See the grace of this Day; see the power of this mystery. Are you not lifted up from the earth? Are you not clearly placed on high, being exalted by our voice and meditation? and you will be placed much higher when the Word shall have prospered the course of my words.
III. Is there any such among the shadowy purifications of the Law, aiding as it did with temporary sprinklings, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean;
or do the gentiles celebrate any such thing in their mysteries, every ceremony and mystery of which to me is nonsense, and a dark invention of demons, and a figment of an unhappy mind, aided by time, and hidden by fable?
For what they worship as true, they veil as mythical. But if these things are true, they ought not to be called myths, but to be proved not to be shameful; and if they are false, they ought not to be objects of wonder; nor ought people so inconsiderately to hold the most contrary opinions about the same thing,
as if they were playing in the market-place with boys or really ill-disposed men,
not engaged in discussion with men of sense,
and worshippers of the Word, though despisers of this artificial plausibility."This is the meaning of their persecution of the creature. For this God's Image was outraged; and as we did not like to keep the Commandments, we were given over to the independence of our error. And as we erred we were disgraced by the objects of our worship. For there was not only this calamity, that we who were made for good works to the glory and praise of our Maker, and to imitate God as far as might be,
were turned into a den of all sorts of passions,
which cruelly devour and consume the inner man;
but there was this further evil, that man actually made gods the advocates of his passions,
so that sin might be reckoned not only irresponsible, but even divine,
taking refuge in the objects of his worship as his apology.
VII. Well, let these things be the amusement of the children of the Greeks and of the demons to whom their folly is due, who turn aside the honour of God to themselves,
Blasphemy is defined in Jeremiah 23 by Christ as "saying that God commanded something when God did not command it.
26 Ibid. i. 28.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
Christ warned that these horrors were intended to keep the people's minds off the Word of God.
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Jeremiah 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.Baptism is a work of Christ performed on those who believe and wish to be enrolled as a Disciple of Christ: like cleansing the vessels in the temple, God must cleanse your spirit so that He will dwell in it by faith when we let Jesus be the only Teacher.
Those who were baptized into Christ were "washed with water INTO the Word" or into the school of Jesus Christ. For those who have been added to His earthly kingdom by Jesus Christ have put on Christ and are therefore immune to the WORLD.

hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Only those who became disciples of Christ by baptism and ongoing teaching are called Christians. A Christian is a disciple of Christ. Jesus Christ is still in Holy Spirit form and continues to speak directly to us when we read and teach what He commanded to be taught.
Our task is to acquire Spiritual Knowledge: anything which substitutes for PREACHING the Word by READING the word and discussing it is of the Devi whom, says Jesus, speaks on his own when Christ in Isaiah 58 outlawed seeking pleasure and speaking your own words.
Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power,
unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
Baptism and the Lord's Supper is Christ's way to show how we are saved by grace through faith.
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
27 Eph. ii. 10; Phil. i. 11.
This passages is most often used to reject the direct command to be baptized as a way to be saved FROM that Crooked Race. It is then used to prove that disciples can do anything they wish and the wish is to conduct ceremonial legalism as a way to make people forget God. However, the WORKS of ceremonialism which usually causes people to boast include anything beyond PREACHING the Word by READING and discussing the Word: we have no theatrical works to bring to God.Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Titus 2:11 For the [1] grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Titus 2:12
[2] Teaching us that,Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: [3] denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. [4] we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Titus 2:14
[5] Who gave himself for us,Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them Repent, [6] that he might redeem us from all iniquity, [Lawlesness]

THOSE WHO FIGHT BAPTISM REJECT GRACE:
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it
with the washing of water by [into] the word,
....by [In Verbo, En, Eis, into a school] the word,Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousnessWhen the Jews were turned over to worship the starry host God gave them The Book of The Law which they had to perform. They performed rituals BELIEVING that they made them righteous. The use of the warrior Levites was so appealing that preachers claim that "a" spirit said that God COMMANDED instrumental praise in his church. All of the rituals under the Monarchy were identical to the practices of the Egyptians, Canaanites and Babylonians of their time and place.
which we have done, [fulfil the Law]
but according to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Spirit; [our spirit needs renewing]
Baptism and being a Disciple of Christ is not WORKS of righteousness because it confesses that we know nothing of spiritual value unless God reveals it to us. Excluding rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, dancing and drama PROVES that people think they have something of value to God: He owns all of the cattle on a thousand hills: why would one think they could gain God's good will by burning up one of His creatures?
DO denies grace because it trusts that that their imagination is necessary because our culture has changed from the time of Jesus Christ: postmodernism denies that the message of Christ in the prophets and apostles have any authority for their superior time and place. Baptism is the form or anti-tupos of the death, burial and resurrecting of Jesus. Tupos is "a pattern capable of being imitated." Anti means instead of: Grace lets us be baptized into Christ to put on Christ instead of dying on the cross for our own sins.
Preaching the Word by reading and discussing "that which is written for our learning" is the MARK to guard us against people who MAKE UP their own songs and sermons.
DOING on your own is pure legalism. Like the Monarchy after which it is patterned, it has absolutely no effect on the human spirit. That is because you cannot have the kingdom or Jesus Christ in your presence if you perform religious ceremonies thinking that you can manifest the kingdom.Poieō , A. make, produce, first of something material, as manufactures, works of art, in Hom. freq. of building, the horns of which are made into the sides of the lyre,4. after Hom., of Poets, compose, write, p. dithurambon, epea

The Kingdom of God does not come to religious OBSERVATIONS. Jesus will be outside the camps suffering reproaches from all of those DOING their own acts inside the gates. He invites only the twos and threes but the gospel invitation is "Come rest and learn of ME."
Watch out: Violent men try to take the kingdom by violence.
We are saved by faith and NOT religious observances or ACTS of religious rituals. The only way to grow in faith is through the Word which Grace-personified teaches us.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The only role of the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness was to Rest, Read and Rehearse or discuss the Word of God. That definition never changed, was endorsed by Jesus and commanded in what Paul calls a synagogue "of that which is written for our learning." The Campbells called Church "A School of Christ" and worship as "reading and musing the Word of God."
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old timeIrenaeus Apostolic Preaching: 3. Now, that we may not suffer ought of this kind, we must needs hold the rule of the faith without deviation, and do the commandments of God, believing in God and fearing Him as Lord and loving Him as Father. Now this doing is produced |72 by faith: for Isaiah says: If ye believe not, neither shall ye understand. [10. Isa. vii. 9 ]
And faith is produced by the truth; for faith rests on things that truly are.
For in things that are, as they are, we believe; and believing in things that are, as they ever are, we keep firm our confidence in them.
Since then faith is the perpetuation of our salvation, we must needs bestow much pains on the maintenance thereof, in order that we may have a true comprehension of the things that are. Now faith occasions this for us; even as the Elders, the disciples of the Apostles, have handed down to us.
First of all it bids us bear in mind that we have received baptism for the remission of sins, in the name of God the Father, and in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was incarnate and died and rose again, and in the Holy Spirit of God. And that this baptism is the seal of eternal life, and is the new birth and is over all things that are made, and all things are put under Him |73 and all the things that are put under Him are made His own; for God is not ruler and Lord over the things of another, but over His own; and all things are God's; and therefore God is Almighty, and all things are of God. unto God, that we should no longer be the sons of mortal men, but of the eternal and perpetual God; and that what is everlasting and continuing is made God;
hath in every city
them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
If people spend as much time looking up the word "read" as they do the word "sing" they would understand why God outlawed "seeking your own pleasure" or even "speaking your own words."
The ONLY command throughout the Bible is to READ and discuss the Word: We are saved BY FAITH and God in Christ directly commanded the ONLY "act" which adds faith which saves us.
However, there may not be a single religious institution which adds salvation or "good mental or spiritual health" by following the direct command, approved examples and necessary inference if you understand that a Disciple goes to the School of Jesus Christ: specificially the prophets and apostles you will understand that:
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
There is nothing you can do in the Church or Ekklesia or School of Christ except Teach and Learn "that which is written for our learning." ANYTHING you do to expend ENERGY thinking you can AID Christ in the Prophets or Apostles is defined as WORKS. Because you DO pretending that is helps you are BOASTING that your songs and sermos can replace those God in Christ prepared.
The WORKS words define ANY of those things you think can AID the assembly especially if you also get paid for replacing the Word.
Rhetoricians who pontificate and speak in loud assertive language is a man doing WORKS in a boasting or theatrical way. Jesus called him a hypocrite by pointing to Ezekiel 33 which names people of NO EFFECT as rhetoricians, singers and instrument players.
"The Kingdom of God does no come with religious observances: Salvation cannot be aided by the WORKS of human hands: raising, waving, picking or clapping. What DOES NOT help?
We can't say that these uses are all that Paul had in mind, but if YOU have in mind any works of human hands they this is condemned.
Ergon , First, doing work is coming near any kind of religious sacrifices. That included the following TASKS by which people attempt to please the gods:WORKS: leaves us out of the picture except to be Disciples of Christ teaching what He commanded to be Taught. No, He doesn't need to tell disciples not to bring their rhetorician, singers, instrument players or actors to BIBLE CLASS: He even supplies the texbook to MARK those who are not disciples.

It will, I imagine, seem ridiculous that things are made manifest through imitation in letters and syllables; nevertheless it cannot be otherwise. For there is no better theory upon which we can base the truth of the earliest names, unless you think we had better follow the example of the tragic poets, who, when they are in a dilemma, have recourse to the introduction of gods on machines. So we may get out of trouble by saying that the gods gave the earliest names, and therefore they are right.

Amen.The Spirit of Christ ordained the nature of the church, ekklesia or synagogue first in the wilderness. While the prophets define the entire monarchy period as evil with no spiritual redeeming values, in Isaiah Christ defined the promised rest -- Pauo in Greek -- from the laded burden and the burden laders.
Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
The Jews excluded the Gentiles and gladly boasted of shedding their blood rather than being a blessing under the Abrahamic Covenant of Grace.
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:That was the view of the Jews: that was not true. The Gentiles were a law unto themselves and were not subject to the Law of Moses. However, the Law of Moses was given to protect the weak from the strong elite of Civil-Military-Clergy whom Christ in the prophets calls parasites and robbers.
However, the WALL was errected by the Jews and the task of Jesus was to put down the Monarchy which had been abandoned to worship the starry host. Christ in the prophets says that God did not comand the sacrifices or anything involved with the kings whom God "gave in His anger."
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai God turned the nation over to worship the starry host. The Levites volunteered to execute 3,000 of their brethren for this offense. Because God had abandoned them in fact, He commanded that the Levites stand between the people and any holy thing or place: if you came too close they would execute you. Their music-led system was a shadow, skia or wholly erroneous system: Christ calls it their covenant with death.
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
Modern priestcraft uses this system as their authority and musicians play the role of the Levites: they in truth intend to keep any of the "commoners" away from the performance area. There is enmity even when you hire a person to teach the congregation when elders are not "apt."
Ephesians 2:17 And came and preached peace

Jesus promised "another" or different in some respects and then said "I" will come to you. In 1 John 2 the name of that Comforter Spirit:
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins:
and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word,
in him verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.

Love and Faith is not perfected by religious observations nor by the works of human hands. There is nothing in the Chriat-ordained synagogue from the wilderness onward but to be a disciple of Christ: they way to know and show that you are a disciple of Christ is to "speak that which is written for our lerning."
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Jesus Christ added to His church those who were being baptized to receive A holy personal spirit in Acts 2. The house of God is the Church of Christ: its role is defined solely as teaching what Christ commanded to be taught through the Prophets and Apostles. Peter left a written memory of this apostolic eye and ear-witness and warned that anyone who "further expounded" it was a false teacher.
The Jews were also under bondage to that "crooked race." When they are saved they are built up, edified or educated not by the kings and priests and levites but:
Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Ephesians 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
