    Return to the gospel of the Water and the Spirit

    While going to church for many years, I never realized that I had fallen in the midst of false doctrines, due to lack of knowledge about Jesus `baptism and blood on the Cross. However, the teaching of Rev. Paul C. Jong have opened my eyes and made me truly understand and recognize the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Upon reading this book, Return to the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit,  I have come to understand that being born again according to the bible is not physical but it`s about Spiritual change, it`s for a sinner to become righteous by believing in the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. We cannot be born again by works, but by faith in the Word of God. I Also understand about Heretics within christianity, an heretic is a person who believe in Jesus but has sin in his/her heart (Titus 3:11) The Lord took away the sin of humanity by baptism but yet the heretics says that they are sinners. Before God, all who claim that they have sin are acknowledging that they themselves are not the Children of God, not the people of God. Everyone who claim to believe in Jesus but not born again is a heretic, this is because while Jesus has eliminated your sins, you yourself who claim to believe in Jesus still have sin in your heart. This book, Return to the gospel of the Water and the Spirit, has a vivid reflection of my lifelong struggles with issues within Christianity, it points out my everyday struggles as a Christian and show the way of dealing with the daily sins that we commit while leading Christian life. This truth cannot be confused with any kind of false teachings and it was this truth that has made me into a person who will never be condemned in Christ. I would like to advise all Christian to read this book, which leads to the discovery of God `s righteousness in the true gospel of the Water and the Spirit. The true gospel is not by water alone or blood alone it`s by both water and blood (1 John 5:6, Exodus 12:43-49). We must believe in Jesus who was baptized by John the Baptist and shed blood on the cross. (Isaiah 53:1-4). Amen.MAZYOPA FRED, ZAMBIA

    Have you truly been born again of water and the Spirit?

    This book is life-changing. It explicitly explains how to be sinless and righteous before God. By believing in the baptism of Jesus, where all the lifetime of our sins were passed upon His body, we were united with Him. Therefore, when He died on the cross and shed His blood, all our sins were forgiven once and for all. When He rose unto a new life, we have also risen with Him. Now, I can boldly come to the presence of God by prayer, because there’s no more sins that stands as a barrier between Him and I. Thank you NLM, God bless you for your dedication in service. I pray that God will continue to use book to save many more lost souls in the world just as it did to me.

    TO RECEIVE THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU MUST FIRST MEET JOHN THE BAPTIST.

    TO RECEIVE THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU MUST FIRST MEET JOHN THE BAPTIST. Hello everyone, today I would like to share my review titled TO RECEIVE THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU MUST FIRST MEET JOHN THE BAPTIST. How are you? How is the state of your heart? Do you believe to be sinful even after you confess to believe in Jesus? Or do you believe to be without sin after believing in Jesus? Ponder deeply! In the book of Acts Chapter 2 verse 38 it tells us that, once we repent (turned away from our sinful state into a righteous state of our heart) each one of us must be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!!! It is so imperative that we should grasp this scripture verse correctly by the Grace of God. It says repent and let each one of you be baptized into the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This teaches us the correct way of how you and I can be made one with God who is Triune and Divine. The true repentance spoken of here is the place where every human being born in this world comes to recognise himself or herself as a brood of evildoers who is heading to hell as a complete sinful being and who cannot help but produce sin at every breath from birth until death (Mark 7:21-23). Thereby one comes to genuinely understand the need for help to escape such a wicked or sinful state or nature and the destiny of eternal death (Hell). Then immediately one comes to hear and believe in the baptism of Jesus Christ from John the Baptist, where He took all the sins of the world, as John the last high priest and the representative of mankind transferred all our sins from the first man Adam’s sins, all the way to the sins of the last person to be born on this earth. Yes! John the Baptist as the greatest man among all mankind indeed stood as the last High Priest of the Old Testament and performed his duty of transferring sin onto the Sacrificial Lamb of God, even Jesus, by the laying on of hands (Leviticus 16:21, Matthew 3:15). That is why it is important to meet John the Baptist before meeting Jesus Christ. Which simply means that we must understand correctly the role that John the Baptist performed as one sent by God (John 1:6-9, Isaiah 40:3). Yes! John had firstly prepared the hearts of the people, by telling them to repent of all their sins, and they did so by confessing all their sins to John as the last High Priest on earth, just as the people of Israel could confess all their sins to the appointed high priest, even Aaron and his descendants, to which John is part of it (1 Chronicles 24:10, Luke 1:5). So the people confessed their sins to John the last high priest on earth. It was yet fitting for John the Baptist to transfer all the world’s sins onto the body of Jesus Christ when he had baptized Him in the Jordan River. Thus, all the righteousness of God was fulfilled by making all mankind sinless and righteous immediately when we believe in the baptism of Jesus Christ where He took away all the sins of the world (John 1:29), and His death on the Cross where He paid for all the wages of our sins, as it was fitting for Him to die in order to complete the work for our salvation—just as He was named JESUS so that He might save all mankind from our sins (Matthew 1:21, John 19:30). Because Jesus is the Divine God Himself, He resurrected from the dead to show us that truly He is God and death could not hold Him down. Thence, by believing in His resurrection, we have obtained newness of life, a life free from sin and eternal death (John 8:32). Hallelujah!!! Therefore, there is no need to remain as sinners after believing in Jesus correctly. There is no need of working hard to try to wash your sins by yourself through consistent prayers of repentance, or fasting tirelessly, or speaking in tongues to try to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. For this is never the way to be made one with God. But rather, only the way of His baptism, death and His resurrection is the way that makes us to be made one with God. Amen!!! Nevertheless, I urge you to come and reason with the Lord (Isaiah 1:18) despite how great your sins may seem to be. Come and believe in the baptism of Jesus Christ from John the Baptist where He took away all the sins of the world, your sins and mine alike (1 Peter 3:21), and His death on the Cross where He paid for all the wages of sin, yours and mine alike, and in His resurrection through which newness of life is obtained completely. Yes! By you believing in both the baptism, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 John 5:6), you will become one transformed from a sinful being into a righteous being and attain the identity of becoming a child of God just by believing in this truth, and immediately you come to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for you become one who is baptized into the One Triune God (the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) by believing in this truth of the Water, Blood and the Spirit. May God bless you as you come to learn more and open your heart to the only truth of Jesus’s baptism, death and resurrection. Hallelujah!!!

    How Can We Receive The Holy Spirit As A Gift?

    Hello,This is a review of the New Revised Edition of the book entitled"How Can We Receive The Holy Spirit As A Gift?" By Rev. Paul C. Jong This book provides us with accurate Biblical teachings that lead us to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit through faith in the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Chapter 1 is titled "The True Holy Spirit Works Together with the Word of God’s Promise." By focusing on Chapter 1 of the book of Acts, the author discusses the topic of whether or not the Holy Spirit can be received by human efforts or whether it is a gift solely given to those whose hearts have been cleansed of all sin through faith in the righteousness of God. Although Christians do try to receive the Holy Spirit through prayers, works, and fanatical worship, this chapter makes it clear that all such practices are futile attempts for receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Many people want to receive the Holy Spirit in the same way that disciples received Him on the day of Pentecost. As a result, false teachers capitalise on their desire and deceive their followers into thinking that the performing of miracles, the casting out of demons, and speaking in tongues are the evidences of the Holy Spirit working with them. But the descent of the Holy Spirit as described in Acts did not come to pass through the fervent prayers of the disciples. On the contrary, they were faithfully waiting for the promise that Jesus had spoken of, saying that the Holy Spirit would be given to those who obeyed the will of God and believed in the beautiful gospel fulfilled by His own baptism and crucifixion. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is not the result of negotiations between God and humans but a gift given to the hearts of those whose sins have been completely washed away by their faith in the Lord, who took upon all their sins by receiving the laying on of hands baptism from the High Priest John the Baptist as testified to in the Gospel of Matthew 3:15.The true indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurred simultaneously with the remission of sins for those who repented of believing in God incorrectly and believed in the righteousness of God as it`s written in Acts 2:38,"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." On the day of Pentecost, the fact that the Holy Spirit came "suddenly" and "from Heaven" makes it clear that the idea that one can receive the Holy Spirit by human efforts is a lie and a deception that has covered the majority of Christians faith to this day. However, Peter testified in Acts 3:19, saying,“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” He was speaking of God`s desire for all people to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which comes to those who believe in the truth that Jesus was baptized by John to take away the sin of the world and crucified to atone for our sins once and for all and rose from the dead the third day. This was the faith of all of the disciples of Jesus, and it is the faith that we too must believe if we wish to receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.Belief in Jesus` baptism is an essential part of becoming a sinless child of God. When choosing the disciple who would replace Judas, it says in Acts 1:21-22,“Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” As this passage shows, in order to become a disciple of Jesus, faith in the baptism He received from John the Baptist was the starting point.The apostles were not chosen to follow God and receive the Holy Spirit based on their fervent repentance prayers, social status, or ability to speak in tongues and perform miracles but on account of their faith in the salvation of Christ and their obedience to His will, as it is written in Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”The faith required to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is based on knowing, understanding, and believing in Jesus’ baptism and His blood as the gospel that removes sin from our hearts. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. It is not obtained by joining some fanatical charismatic movement, worshipping while shaking, and falling back on your chair in a frenzy as many pastors lead their congregations to believe.When you quietly and humbly listen to the gospel of the water and the Spirit, you will realise that your sins have been removed from your hearts through Jesus’ baptism and His blood on the cross, and the waves of peace will begin to flow gently in your hearts. From the time the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you, it governs your heart and brings about peace from the Lord as He bears witness to the salvation of the water and the blood that redeems us.The Apostle John confirms this in 1 John 5:6 he says,"This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth."Then, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will be instructed on how to share the good news of this beautiful gospel with others and live with true joy, knowing that you have become a sinless child of God in whose heart dwells the Spirit of the one true God received as a gift.God bless you all.

    THERE IS NO SALVATION IN YOUR HUMAN WORKS BUT ONLY IN THE WORK OF BELIEVING THAT JESUS CAME BY THE WATER, BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT(JOHN6:28-29).

    THERE IS NO SALVATION IN YOUR HUMAN WORKS BUT ONLY IN THE WORK OF BELIEVING THAT JESUS CAME BY THE WATER, BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT(JOHN6:28-29).Hello everyone, I would like to share my review taken from one of our Spiritual Book called RETURN TO THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT REVISED EDITION written by Rev Paul C Jong. May God bless His work! In order to clear up the misconception of how one can approach God or Please Him. I have entitled my review as; THERE IS NO SALVATION IN YOUR HUMAN WORKS BUT ONLY IN THE WORK OF BELIEVING THAT JESUS CAME BY THE WATER, BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT(1John5:6). Because we are all born as the descendant of Adam, it is the definite truth that we are all born as sinners destined for hell. For the perfect Law of God has declared that the wages of sin is death, so it is only literal for each one of us to face this death as sinners. But because God is so Loving and merciful, He had already planned to save us all sinners born as the descendant of Adam through His perfect Salvation in His Son Jesus Christ. To revealing His perfect plan of our Salvation, God had to instantly show us through our Fore parents Adam and Eve, when they immediately died in Spirit due to disobedience. At that point God showed us the plan of our Salvation on how mankind may return back to God and please Him by clothing our parents Adam and Eve with the skin of a Sacrificed animal. Even though Adam and Eve thought of their own works to cover up their nakedness(Sin) by wearing the fig leaves, this never at any point washed them from their sins or cover up their nakedness for a long period, because no man can wash away His own sins by his works. That is why it was important that Adam and Eve had humbled themselves and accepted the perfect clothing or garment of an animal skin from the Lord which lasted and brought them back to the presence of God. For only the garment from God Himself is what cover up ones nakedness. As such a perfect method of saving mankind from sin, God showed us also through our forefathers of the old, that salvation or forgiveness of sins can only take place by the means of sacrifice. God had established the method through which the Israelites would receive forgiveness of their sins. God declared that whenever the Israelites sinned he or she must present the unblemished sacrificial animal before the Tabernacle of God and confessed his or her sins onto the body of animal by the means of laying on of hands which is the transferring of sins, then after, the ordained high priest was to kill the animal after it had accepted the sins by laying of hands. Then that person was forgiven for the daily sins. But even though it was set so, no all persons could consistently present their sacrificial offerings for the atonement of their own sins. So God had to established it in a way that all people could receive the atonement of sins by allowing the ordained high priest Aaron, Moses’s brother and his descendant to begin to stand as the representative of all the people of Israel on the specified day for their atonement of sins. That was on the 10th of the Seventh month(Leviticus16:29), God declared that whenever this day comes all the Israelites from all nations must go to the Tabernacle of God and confess all their wickedness or sins to the high priest Aaron, then Aaron was to stand as the representative of all the people to be the one who transferred all their sins onto the sacrificial unblemished animal by the laying on of his hands(Leviticus16vs21) instead of each Israelite passing over his or her sins onto the Sacrificed animal by themselves. So as the high priest transferred all the Israelites sins onto the sacrificial animal then the animal was led down to death by sending it in the wilderness, where it roamed until death, thus permitting the people of Israel to receive the forgiveness of their yearly sins. Amen! As such a method was only a shadow of the reality Jesus Christ(Hebrews10:1). The shadow was never able to completely wash away all the sins of the Israelites (Hebrews10:2). For this reason, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to God: *You do not want sacrifices and offerings, but you have prepared a body for me. You are not pleased with animals burned whole on the altar or with sacrifices to take away sins. Then I said, ‘Here I am, to do your will, O God, just as it is written of me in the book of the Law.’(Hebrews10:5-7, Mathews5:17). That is why if anyone wants to approach God or Please Him, he or she must pass through Jesus Christ, who was able to fulfil the law by the means of His baptism which He received from John the Baptist the last high priest and the representative of mankind to take away all the sins of the world, also by the means of His blood shed on the Cross where He paid the wages of sin with His precious blood and by the means of His resurrection through which newness of life is obtained once and for all to all who believe in this truth(John6:28-29). Jesus accomplished the eternal atonement of sins as the only ransom for us all mankind born as sinners. So this is the only way anyone can approach God or Please Him only by the means of His Son Jesus Christ who came by both His baptism, death and resurrection(1John5:6). For pleasing or approaching God has nothing to do with anyone’ work like offering daily prayers of repentance, fasting tirelessly or giving much contributions of materials and finances in your respective denominations. For there is only one work that pleases God, and that is through believing in both the ministry of John the Baptist as the last high priest and the representative of mankind and in the eternal Lamb of God Jesus Christ correctly. This is to why you must return back to God by believing in the Gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit(John3:5) with all your heart and begin to please and approach God according to His Word, by visiting our website www.bjnewlife.org download yourself free Christian eBook Return to Gospel of the Water and the Spirit and receive the forever lasting garment of God’s righteousness.Hallelujah!!!May God bless His true Church even The New Life Mission and all His Servants in every corner of the world.
