What is Communion ?

It will drop here-Matt 7:21-23--I am trying to prevent you hearing those words from Jesus as judgement.

I follow the Apostles who call God κυριος (Lord) which is the Greek name for YHWH and Adonai. Are you going to say the same thing to the Apostles also? I'm trying to save you from that horrible JW mistake.

You best listen sir.

You best listen sir.

I do listen to the Apostles who call God κυριος (Lord) which is the Greek name for YHWH and Adonai. Don't make the mistake of listening to JW Heretics who will try to sell you on a weak God who can't even preserve his own word.

The tetragramoton=YHWH-OR YHVH--Not LORD OR GOD--it is Gods personal name in Hebrew-God and Lord are titles.

It really doesn't matter what it is. It does not take knowing His name to worship Him. It does not take calling Him by His name to honor Him as our God.

Proof the removal of his name -MISLEADS =
Joel 2:31-32 Those who call on the name of YHVH(Jehovah) will be saved--quoted 2 x in NT- Acts 2:21--Romans 10:13-- But since altered translations has lord atall 3 spots the mislead assume its Jesus' name but it is not. Jehovah belongs at all 3 spots.

Is Jesus God? Yes!! Jesus was with God, and Jesus was (is) God. Jesus is the "I AM!" Jesus was God to whom Abraham spoke in the burning bush. Jesus created everything that is, and NOTHING was created that He did not create (this means that He cannot be a created being, because He cannot create Himself). So you can put either Jesus' name, or the Father's name (unknown), or His titles in those places and it makes no difference.

If you lived in a monarchy, and one of the king's soldiers knocked on your door and said, "Open in the name of the king!", are you going to answer, "What is the name of the king to whom I am supposed to open my door?" No, you are going to open the door. It doesn't matter what the name of the king is, it matters that "the name of the king" represents the soldier appropriating the authority of the king in doing his duty. And that is what we do when we baptize people into Christ, we appropriate the authority of God (with His permission and instruction) to bring another soul into His Kingdom.

If they're not already in the kingdom, you have no business baptizing them.

Baptism in water brings them into the Kingdom. Once someone is in the Kingdom (through baptism), baptizing them again is redundant and meaningless. We enter into the Kingdom of God through being washed by water and the Word (Eph 5:26-27), we are made children of God through being clothed with Christ in baptism (Gal 3:26-27), we are given a clear conscience and have our sins removed in baptism (1 Pet 3:21), we have our sins removed through baptism (Acts 2:38). You cannot be saved BEFORE you are baptized.
