I have encountered some Baptists who divide the gospel into two camps. The gospel of Jesus and the gospel of Paul - whom they say is anti-Christ. This stirs up strife and causes division. Jesus ordained Paul to be an apostle, if we believe the scriptures - not in part, but the whole. Peter said their were some who wrested Paul’s writings as “hard to understand”. Jesus said to his disciples who were fearful and of little faith: If you have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, be removed, and it will obey you. “First the blade, then the ear - after that, the full corn in the ear” Jesus is the foundation of our faith and has set some in the church as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers for the building up of the saints “ that we be no more children desiring the milk of the word, but the strong meat of righteousness that can be eaten only if our spiritual senses are exercised by daily use. “Let not sin reign in your mortal bodies” “Harden yourself as a good soldier of Jesus Christ and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage” “Our weapons are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and casting down every imagination and bringing every thought into obedience of Christ. So that when our obedience has been fulfilled enduring temptations without offense - then we can receive the crown of life, which is the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage.
