This is my final post on this topic. Please understand that anyone can ask for Holy Spirit, but that is not the same as being anointed with Holy Spirit. As I've explained in my previous posts, links provided below article, there is a male and female created in God's image, and a remnant, God's children by adoption...these are anointed with Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Not the same creation as Adam and Eve in Genesis 2, video on this is posted below.
Zechariah 4:14 ASV — Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
The woman, and the seed (the adopted family) ...
Romans 9:4 ASV — who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Romans 9:23 ASV — and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
Hebrews 9:5 ASV — and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.
Romans 9:25 ASV — As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
Galatians 4:26 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.
Revelation 12:13 ASV — And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child.
Jehovah God is not partial; he graciously gives Holy Spirit to any who ask Him. He loves all of His creation, both...heavenly and earthly creation. Receiving Holy Spirit does not make you anointed. I will share scriptures and some examples of those who are anointed with Holy Spirit, these are actually baptized into Christ' death. Some are chosen with a heavenly calling and some are chosen with an earthly calling.
Luke 11:13 ASV — If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
There is ONE HOPE...Eternal Life.
It is not up to you to decide who goes where. In time, all will know what it means for them.
The apostles did not have an anointing of the Holy Spirit prior to the days of Pentecost...being baptized in Christ' death.
There are many who were anointed with oil in the OT and many who were guided by Holy Spirit in the OT, hence why we have the OT and prophecies...the Old Covenant.
2 Peter 1:20-21 ASV — knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 8:13 ASV — In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
The New Covenant
Jeremiah 31:31 ASV — Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:8 ASV — For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Luke 22:20 ASV — And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.
1 Corinthians 11:25 ASV — In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
2 Corinthians 3:6 ASV — who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Hebrews 9:15 ASV — And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 12:24 ASV — and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than that of Abel.
Anyone can be called (chosen) and guided by the Spirit...
biblical knowledge will increase.
These have been "called" and received Holy Spirit "before" the New Covenant...
Mark 6:7 ASV — And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
These were anointing the sick with oil, not Holy Spirit...
Mark 6:13 ASV — And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
The Seventy sent out...
Luke 10:1 ASV — Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.
Luke 10:9 ASV — and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 10:17 ASV — And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name.
Luke 10:20 ASV — Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Many are chosen...
John 9:6 ASV — When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
This does not mean you have been chosen with a heavenly calling...
when the time comes, you'll know it. If you have to question it, it is not your calling.
Acts 1:5 ASV — For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Acts 2:16 ASV — but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
Joel 2:28-29 ASV — And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
The Upper Room...Day of Pentecost
Acts 1:15 ASV — And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty),
Acts 2:1 ASV — And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.
Acts 2:4 ASV — And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:23 ASV — him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:
Acts 2:31-33 ASV — he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses. Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.
Acts 2:36 ASV — Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
Acts 2:38 ASV — And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:41 ASV — They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls.
These believed that Jehovah was Salvation through Jesus Christ...it's in his name.
True Christians.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is a baptism into Christ' death...
Mark 1:13 ASV — And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Luke 4:13 ASV — And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Luke 4:13 ASV — And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Romans 6:4 ASV — We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Apostle Paul...
Acts 9:15-18 ASV — But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel: for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake. And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;
House of Cornelius...
Acts 10:3 ASV — He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Acts 10:41 ASV — not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Acts 10:44 ASV — While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.
Hebrews 3:1 ASV —
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus;
Romans 9:16 ASV — So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
Romans 9:20 ASV — Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
Isaiah 65:9 ASV —
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Daniel 12:4 ASV — But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:10 ASV — Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
Servants: These do not have a heavenly calling, they are the righteous that will live on earth and be before God. They will be guided to the waters of life, by the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne, that is over them.
Compare to...
Revelation 7:14-17 ASV — And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle OVER them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat: for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall GUIDE them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Again, the Lamb will be in the midst of the throne, which is in heaven and over the earth. Jesus Christ will not be ruling on earth, as many seem to believe.
1 Corinthians 3:16 ASV — Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (Mind)
Mark 14:58 ASV — We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.
John 4:21 ASV — Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
THERE IS ONE HOPE...LIFE ETERNAL
The choosing of who will be in heaven and who will be on earth is not for anyone to decide...
it's up to Jehovah God, the Father, the Almighty.
As much as I disagree with the many teachings of JW Organization, they have this partly right, some will be in heaven and some will be on earth...but, sadly they have taught that many have sinned against the Spirit incurring death. Unless one is anointed with Holy Spirit, that cannot be. The gift of the Holy Spirit started with Jesus at his baptism, it's when he was anointed, and became Christ. When he ascended, the free gift of the Holy Spirit began to be poured out. Those who received it were baptized into his death...born again.
The group of (8) men that claim they are "anointed", the "leaders" (GB) of the JW Organization, have no understanding of this... The Bible’s View Can Blasphemy Be Forgiven? and Their Sins Were Unforgivable
Revelation 17:11 ASV — And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.
If they don't know what the Spirit is, how can they be anointed? Judas Iscariot and others mentioned could not have sinned against the Spirit, because they weren't anointed with it. This anointing was a new birth, a new creation, beginning with the Eternal Father of the New Heavens...Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 9:6 ASV — For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Romans 8:29 ASV — For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
Is it possible that the GB of JW's were anointed at one time?
Absolutely, I do believe some may have been.
Blasphemy of the Spirit to incur death...
it's a Spiritual death from the heavenly calling.
Matthew 12:31 ASV — Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Hebrews 6:4-6 ASV — For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
John 12:48 ASV — He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
The False Prophet and the Antichrist.
Matthew 22:14 ASV — For many are called, but few chosen.
If you don't know what a baptism in death is, you are not anointed. (Born Again) Apostle Paul is a perfect example of what this means. Once you're born again, something similar happens to you, you endure longsuffering and have a continuous thorn on your side.
2 Corinthians 12:7 ASV — And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch.
Many don't even understand what the Holy Spirit is, many believe it is separate from the Father, having its own nature, being its own person. The Father is One and the Spirit is His...He is EVERYTHING.
Genesis 1:2 ASV — And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Isaiah 42:5 ASV — Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Exodus 3:14 ASV — And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Jesus Christ, a man, who was created in God's image, was anointed with Holy Spirit from Jehovah at his baptism. He is not part of a trinity ~ Triune God. Please keep in mind there is a woman that was also created in His image. To say these are all separate in nature, but all One GOD simply invalidates your doctrine of the trinity (triune God).
John 1:1 ASV — In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 ASV — The same was in the beginning with God.
- Proverbs 8:22 ASV — Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.
Two created in God's image: A to Z, the First and the Last...
1 Corinthians 15:47 ASV — The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man (ADAM) in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
- Man - Strong's H120: Adam - Human
Revelation 22:16 ASV — I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
2 Corinthians 12:2 ASV — I know a man (human) in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
Man created in the likeness of God...Predestined in Day Six
Genesis 5:1 ASV — This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Genesis 5:2 ASV — male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Day Six: (Formed) Adam - Strong's H121: Name of the first man.
Genesis 2:23 ASV — And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
- Woman - Strong's H802: Issa - Female
- Man - Strong's H376: Is - Male
(Created) Man - Strong's H120: Adam - Human
Genesis 1:26 ASV — And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1 Corinthians 15:45 ASV — So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
There is One God ~ Jehovah and One Lord ~ Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:6 ASV — yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
It's a spiritual war.
Ephesians 6:12 ASV — For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Psalm 69:4 ASV — They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.
Those who are chosen with a heavenly calling, will be aware of Christ' presence. This is a heavenly calling. After the persecution of the woman, it will be toward the remaining ones...if you truly received a heavenly calling and are chosen, you will know it.
Let no man deceive you, and always rely on the Father through Jesus Christ for answers.
John 14:17-20 ASV — even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you. Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also. In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Only those who know the Father ~ Jehovah, will have the calling...be it an earthly or heavenly one.
Revelation 11:14 ASV — The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly.
After the second Woe...
Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
Matthew 24:22 ASV — And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Matthew 24:30-31 ASV — and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Hebrews 9:27 ASV — And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;
1 Corinthians 15:31 ASV — I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
I pray for all mankind...I love you.
May Jehovah, through Jesus Christ bring you...
~ Peace, Love and Joy ~
