THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The teachings that are found on this page are not associated in anyway with any church doctrine. These teachings are based strictly and only upon the apostles doctrine.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
So we see that scripture teaches us that there is only one correct doctrine and that doctrine is the Apostles doctrine.
The disciples of Jesus Christ did not promote the Baptist doctrine, nor the Mormon doctrine, nor the Methodist doctrine, nor the Catholic doctrine, nor the Jehovah witness doctrine, nor the Anglican doctrine, nor the Amish doctrine, nor any other church doctrines that are out there in the world.
Scripture teaches us that it is of the utmost importance that we do not teach any other doctrine but that which the Apostles taught.
1Timothey 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Scripture teaches us that God has put the responsibility on us to make sure that we are involved in correct doctrine that we are learning and following the apostles doctrine only.
1 Timothey4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Out there in the World there are many different church doctrines, however scripture teaches us that these doctrines are not from the kingdom of God, but they are actually from the kingdom of the devil or they are manmade doctrines.
1Timothey 4:4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Colossians 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
These church doctrines that are out there in the world actually have the power and ability to pull an individual out of the Kingdom of God. Scripture says that men and woman will depart from THE FAITH because of these teachings.
The kingdom of God teaches us individually that we have the responsibility before God to avoid all men and woman who teach any other doctrine but the Apostles doctrine.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
Scripture says there is only one form of doctrine that the disciples of Christ taught and delivered and we have the responsibility to OBEY this doctrine.
Romans 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.
Scripture teaches us that we can be carried away or carried around by strange doctrines, by church teaching that contradict what the disciples of Jesus taught.
Hebrews 3:19 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.
In the kingdom of God there is only one form of doctrine, that being the apostles doctrine. If you are not following the apostles doctrine then this means that you have somewhere somehow picked up a doctrine of the devil or are being carried around by doctrines created by man.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Scripture teaches us contrary to what many say, Few individuals will actually make it into the kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Scripture teaches us that we must first be Converted in order to ever be able to make it into the kingdom of heaven. Having a belief in Jesus, having faith in Jesus does not qualify as being born again. Peter walked with Jesus, he saw Jesus do many miracles, Peter had faith in Jesus and believed on Jesus, however scripture teaches us that Peter was still not converted into the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Peter was water baptized but he had not been born of the Spirit yet. The Holy Ghost had not been outpoured yet. That is why he was not converted into the kingdom of God yet.
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Jesus told Peter and the rest of the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait until they were born of the Spirit, wait until they were baptized with the Holy Ghost, thereby completing their experience of being born again of water and Spirit.
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Jesus taught us that the only way to see the Kingdom of God, the only way to enter the Kingdom of God is by being born again of Water and Spirit. An individual must be baptized in water and baptized with the holy ghost.
John3:3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
So scripture is abundantly clear, those who have not been born again can not even see the kingdom of God. You can read the bible, you can go to church, you can sing songs but still not see the Kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus taught that unless a man was born of water and Spirit he can not enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again
We see in scripture that the apostles taught that there were two baptisms that we must experience.
Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
The baptisms that the Apostles were talking about were exactly the same as what Jesus and John the Baptist taught. Two baptism were necessary to enter into Gods Kingdom.
Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
Having faith in Jesus, believing on Jesus, inviting Jesus into your heart, saying a sinners prayer, this is not being born again. This does not convert you into the kingdom of God. you must be born again of water and Spirit, baptized in water and baptized with the Holy ghost to be converted into the Kingdom of God.
If you have not been born again according to scripture then you can not see the kingdom, neither can you receive things from the Spirit, neither can you know the things of the Kingdom. You can still talk about Jesus, you can still talk about the stories in the Bible, you can still believe the stories in the bible but that does not mean that you are seeing, or are in the kingdom of God. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 2:4 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
We can read the bible, study the bible, even go to church and listen to someone talk about the bible but all that does mean we are learning or knowing the things of God if we are not Spirit filled. It is only the Spirit of God that Knows the things of God and the Spirit must reveal it to us.
1 Corinthians 2:11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Peter taught us that water baptism was more then just a outward sign of an inward confession. Peter taught us that water baptism is now saving us. Peter taught that being baptized in water was fulfilling what Jesus had said in John chapter 3. Scripture teaches us that when we are born of water, when we are water baptized we are buried with Christ into his death. That when we are water baptized we have put on Christ.
1 Peter 3:21
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Romans 6:4
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.
Colossians 2:12
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Scripture never teaches that baptism is an outward sign of an inward confession. The apostles doctrine taught us that if your not baptized then you have NOT put on Christ. If you are not water baptized, you have not buried your old man, buried your sins with Christ. If your not water baptized you have not been buried with Jesus.
Romans 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.
The kingdom of God and the Lord himself desires that we obey and follow what he has asked us to do. As you can see Jesus taught us that we must be born again of water and Spirit therefore we must obey what Jesus taught and DO IT.
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Scripture teaches us contrary to what many say, Few individuals will actually make it into the kingdom of Heaven.

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus taught that unless a man was born of water and Spirit he can not enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again

The kingdom of God and the Lord himself desires that we obey and follow what he has asked us to do. As you can see Jesus taught us that we must be born again of water and Spirit therefore we must obey what Jesus taught and DO IT.
