THE MYSTERY
(THIS IS NOT SPEAKING OF THE
TRINITY.)
Ephesians 3: 2-6 PAUL
WRITES:
Surely
you have heard about the ADMINISTRATION of God’s grace that was given TO
ME for YOU. That is, the MYSTERY
made known to ME by revelation……. you will be able to UNDERSTAND MY
INSIGHT into the MYSTERY OF CHRIST, which was NOT MADE KNOWN to men in
other generations AS IT HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED BY THE SPIRIT TO God’s
holy apostles and prophets. THIS
MYSTERY is that THROUGH THE GOSPEL THE GENTILES ARE HEIRS TOGETHER WITH
ISRAEL, MEMBERS TOGETHER OF
ONE BODY
(To Be “In Christ”)
AND SHARERS TOGETHER IN THE
PROMISE IN CHRIST JESUS.
Malachi
3: 1 THE MESSENGER HAS COME.
THE MYSTERY REVEALED AND
UNDERSTOOD.
Note:
All the Promises in the Old Testament in regard to THE GIVING OF
THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE POUING OUT
BY CHRIST AT PENTECOST, AND THE SPRINKLING OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, BY GOD THE
FATHER are NOW for the
Gentiles as well.

ACCOMPLISHED AT THE TIME OF THE
INSTANTANEOUS PROCESS OF BAPTISM WITH HOLY SPIRIT.

IF THEY ARE IN THE
BODY OF CHRIST.
ENTRANCE IS GIVEN
ONLY BY GOD HIMSELF – THERE IS ONE SOURCE
GOD HIMSELF - BY
HIS SPIRIT ALONE
GOD THE FATHER THERE ARE SEVEN OUTLETS OF
THIS ONE SOURCE.
IS:- IN US These speak of THE
SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD.
OVER US Rev. 1: 4 Rev. 4: 2-11 Rev. 3: 1
THROUGH US. (Christ Baptises us with God’s Spirit and His Fullness.)
Eph. 4: 5-6
THE TERM
OF ONE SPIRIT, IS PAUL EMPHASIZING THE TRUE FACT THAT IT IS NOT ENOUGH
TO HAVE CHRIST’S SPIRIT ONLY. WE MUST
GO ON.
WE MUST
BE BAPTISED BY CHRIST INTO HIS
FATHER’S SPIRIT, SO THAT WE GAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE ONE BODY. NO OTHER ONE, NO OTHER PERSON CAN GIVE US
ENTRANCE. ONLY GOD THE FATHER. WE MUST BE IN THIS ONE AND ONLY SPIRIT OF
GOD, TO ENTER THE ONE BODY. NO OTHER
PERSON THAN GOD HIMSELF CAN GIVE THIS ENTRANCE.
THERE
IS THEREFORE ONE SPIRIT (OR PERSON BY HIS SPIRIT) WHO CAN DO THIS WORK.
THEN
CHRIST BUILDS THOSE WHO ARE IN THE ONE BODY INTO THE TEMPLE OF GOD.

2: 19-22
