Then he begins to describe the foundations, which are explained in depth through this seven-part teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHebrews 6:1-3 \u003ci\u003e\"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of: repentance from dead works; and of faith toward God; of the doctrine of baptisms; and of laying on of hands; and of resurrection of the dead; and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHebrews 5:12\u003ci\u003e \"Now by this time you've been Christians for many years, you ought to be teachers. You need someone again teaches you the First Principles of the Doctrine of God; you need milk and not solid food. For everyone who takes milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness. He is a babe...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. Repentance from Dead Works\u003c\/b\u003e This is not talking about repentance from sin, but from living a self-centred life at the core of our being, a life lived out of duty, obligation, legalism, my efforts to be loved, needed, valued, feel good. The life of God flows out of a vital love relationship with God. He is the centre, not us. Our identity is with him. His life flows through a life that's yielded and open, and in love with God as a father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Faith towards God\u003c\/b\u003e What is Faith? How would I know if I had it? How do I get it? Can it be grown and developed? How can I grow and develop it? Turn towards God to receive his love, receive identity in Him, receive positioning in Him, so you can bring forth good works, living works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Baptised into Christ, Baptism in Water\u003c\/b\u003e A foundation of believing that causes you to step up to the reality of who Jesus says you are. I am immersed into something that I was not in before. I am a totally new person, connected to God vitally, and connected to the body of Christ. Water Baptism is my testimony to the world that to the spiritual powers, that old person died, I'm joined to the living God, the power of sin is broken. I'm a free man, there's a new person risen up, born again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4. Baptism in the Holy Spirit\u003c\/b\u003e Immersion into the person, and power and presence of the Holy Spirit, so it lives around you, and is on you, and flows freely from within you. The entrance into a supernatural living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5. Laying on of Hands\u003c\/b\u003e In the laying on of hands, in the spirit, there is a flow from one person to another. God has called you not just to experience Him, but to connect to people tangibly, and release what He has given you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6. Resurrection of the Dead\u003c\/b\u003e There is a difference between a person being raised from the dead, to extend his life and then die, and the teaching of resurrection. Jesus was the first-fruits, the first-born to be resurrected from the dead, and appear to many in a resurrection body - immortal, incorruptible, able to vanish in and out, no longer constrained by the physical world. He was a pattern for all that is to follow. This teaching covers the first resurrection, 1000 year reign of Christ on earth, and the second resurrection. Which one will you be in?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7. Eternal Judgment\u003c\/b\u003e Sometimes we focus a lot on the grace of God, the goodness of God, the mercy of God we forget or overlook that there is another side, that God is also holy and He's just. His justice requires that He deal with how we've governed our life and what we've done in our life. All of you have an appointment to keep with this. There is no exception. Matt 16:27 I come and my reward is with me, to give to every man according to his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Connell,Mike Connell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496022815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496022813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Jeremy Connell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217413779711,"sku":"9781496022813","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96262cf5-165c-49fe-a215-0ccc7f59871d.jpg?v=1771997064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-principles-jeremy-connell-9781496022813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
