(or thoughts about the faith, part 2 - short summary)

Why he who comes to the Lord must believe that HE IS carrying the NAME of Him who is I AM.

Short answer:

There is no other NAME than the NAME of our Lord Jesus Christ, I AM, the NAME of our God, through and by which we can be saved (Act.4:12) and without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebr.11:6). Christ appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself (Hebr. 9 26), but why then He will appear second time, apart from sin, for salvation (Hebr. 9 28). There is the distinctive crossing of Jordan river into the promised land after crossing of Red sea (after born again experience) and desert journey (period of obedience school and renewal of mind). Even when heir is under aged he is Abraham’s SEED (Gal.3:29) Who (SEED) is CHRIST (Gal. 3:16). As long as a believer is a child, he does not differ at all from the slave (according to his mind and understanding), though he is Lord of all (Jehovah of all / Curios of all) (Gal. 4:1) just like Christ is Lord of all, God of all (Act 10:36).( Same original Greek words are translated differently (or dissenting) in many modern translations. Original mode (idioms) should be translated same way regardless of if it match with the translators belief-system or not. Old King James version is a good source to verify the correctness of the translation at hand.)

The desert of Sinai is inside the borders of Israel and as long as you are in it's area (as opposite of Egypt/This world and Babylon/ Heresy) you belong to the kingdom of God. Yet as to where we have reached, let us walk by the same rule... (let us walk and stay on the same Road). (Phil.3:16)

I know that there is a risk to speak plainly about the stronger Word of God, especially to the baby Christians who are being indoctrinated to the "diluted gospel". When you come to the point where you must decide if Christ has risen up from the death personally in you, you might end up to the wrong side of the Road, deny the Lord by thinking that He is a separate Entity.

For in Him we live,move, and have our being (Acts 17:28).Not any more according to the prince of power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.(Eph.2:2,3) He who will lose himself (his old existence) and realise that it is gone when one accepts Jesus as his saviour, will save himself in union with God Himself. The moment the bride accepts Christ as her husband she/ he is the New Creature, One Spirit with God instead of the old isolated spirit.(John4:24, 1Cor.6:17) For trough Him we both (Christ and Church or Christ and I) have access IN ONE SPIRIT to the Father.( Eph.2:18 )

However I believe that we haven't much time left to rectify our faith according to the requirements of the Lord. Ark of the Covenant / our faith must be built according to the instructions of God and not according to what we think it should be. We need to wake up from the slumber. Without oil by life giving word of God the fire of the Spirit will eventually be extinguished.

Noah build his ark (symbol of faith as well) about one hundred years on a dry land being ridiculed by his contemporaries. When it was ready, the rain (symbol of word of God which one can save or drown) did lift the OWNERS up.

Those believers in the Holy place had only access to the Bosom of Abraham; But then the curtain into the Holy of Holies was split half: Christ made Church and Himself one and did break down the middle wall of separation (Eph.2:14). Now we have access to the Ark of Covenant (saving faith) and Heaven where no sinful persons are allowed to enter. (Rev. 21:27, 1 Peter 4:18)

You by your own CAN NOT believe that you are sinless but you can easily believe that Christ was/is without sin. Now to the point: "If you don't believe that I AM you will die into your sins." ( John8:28) We need to believe the whole idea: Christ has the name I AM but inside Him, united with Him, we have it as well owning all the benefits which are included. Can one's body have a different name than the owner of it?

God took me into Him on the cross and paid the penalty of the sin which was included in the deal. After Christ died into the sin and out of sin He took back His previous Life including His holiness and freedom of sin.(John 10:17) So because I am united with Him not only in His death but in his resurrection as well (if only I can believe it, the main promise of God): I don't live any more but Christ (LIVES) in me (I am imitator of Paul) . (Rom.6:5) That is the second point: Only in union with Christ, in His Name only, we can own His everlasting LIFE So inside Christ I do own His Life and I AM free of sin. God will appear second time when we correct our faith according to the requirements of the Holiest place and be no longer sinners saved by mercy, but New Creatures, free from sin inside Christ. "How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it."(Rom.6:2 NKJ)

The New Creature, United combination of man and God was never saved by mercy because it never existed before or on God's side has always existed without sin.(Old me was saved by mercy but not the new Me.) Christ Himself being the beginning of new creation starting from the cross, first combination of man and God had the power, being God, take back His previous Life and we got is as well being united with Him.(John 10:17, & Rom.6:5,8) Of course the condition is that you believe this particular promise of God. Let it be with you according to your faith. That is: our personal resurrection from the death is not possible if we don't believe that I AM. It is actually the realisation (insight by faith) that I AM instead of I. "Wake up from the death you who are sleeping."

The condition of Christians before the coming of Christ is the sleeping mode. All the ten virgins were sleeping. Can the reason be poor understanding and teaching of the Word or was it just general lukewarm mode: "I have need of nothing" especially this heretic cult teaching.

We should repeat and repeat the main idea of salvation to have the tree of life to grow in your head. Devil doe's his best to erase it and made us as illogical as possible. Satan is the deceiver of this world and fleshly minded Christians as well. We need to drink Christ's mind and emotions instead of the water of this world which will never satisfy and will lead only to the misery and mental suicide.

The third point is that " flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God" or with other words: "God does not receive human face." But God will receive Christ and His body, meaning those who have put Christ on, those who have wedding clothes. God’s promise is that: "As many of you as were baptised into Christ have put on Christ (Cal.3:27). From that point onwards you are I AM instead of I.

You can deny it by the result of wrong indoctrination into the different Gospel and different Christ. The other way is to go back to "Egypt" and forget that you are a New Creature in Christ. However like Peter after denying: "I AM NOT" (Luke 22:58) you can repent and come back to Christ. Jesus was specially concerned about Peter. (John 21:15- 19)
