The document discusses different baptisms that occurred in the Old and New Testaments. It argues that John the Baptist's baptism was for Israelites under the Old Covenant for the remission of sins, but did not establish the New Testament church or produce New Testament Christians. It also asserts that John did not have authority over the New Testament kingdom of Christ, which was promised to Peter after John's death. The document aims to correct the view that John's baptism was the same as baptism commanded by Christ for salvation in the New Testament.

Explore the message of Jesus and his teaching method. Discover what “Kingdom of God” means. Learn why the “Festive Banquet” is the central image of the Kingdom and why in Jesus’ message. See how metanoia (a complete change of heart) begins with accepting the invitation to the banquet. Also learn about Jesus’ miracles, called “dynameis” or “powerful deeds,” and how these acts of power show forth the hidden Kingdom. Are they historical? And discover how “the distribution of the loaves and fish” is the turning point in Jesus’ ministry.
Bible Alive Jesus Christ 007: "The Kingdom of God"BibleAlive
The Church never could have invented Jesus’ baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. Learn why, and also why Baptism is the “hermeneutical key” for understanding the meaning of Jesus’ ministry and message. See how the inspired authors of the Synoptic Gospels choose mythic language in the temptation narrative and how all three attempts of the devil are varieties on the one great temptation Jesus faced during his public ministry: To become the Messiah who fulfills the expectations of the people. Learn also the Outline of Jesus’ ministry.
This class will examine the ways we can know who Jesus is by discussing the Doctrine of the Bible & Revelation. It will further develop the concepts of the origin of our mission and praxis as disciples of Jesus by looking at Jesus (Christology), His Mission/Our Mission (Missiology), & How this mission can be accomplished (Ecclesiology).
In "Looking at the Big Picture" we look at what life is all about according to the Bible by looking at Jesus, the gospel, the church and the mission of the church. This teaching is the introduction to the gospel series "Growing Deep in the Gospel".

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Only one commanded by Christ for
salvation.
“14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as
they sat at meat, and upbraided them with
their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had
seen him after he was risen.
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth not shall be

7. JACKSON’S DISREGARD FOR COVENANTS
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John belong to
the Old not the New Testament – therefore
Jackson disregards the doctrinal
differences in the two covenants!
Jackson attempts to add together the
doctrine of both the Old and New
Testaments! ERROR!
“4Christ is become of no effect unto you,
whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4).

8. JACKSON’S DISREGARD FOR COVENANTS
Jackson and other “traditionalists”
disregard differences in doctrine in the
covenants!
One cannot understand the Bible if they
do not understand the difference between
the Old and New Testaments!
One cannot scripturally teach the Bible if
they
do not understand the difference
between the Old and New Testaments!

God bound John’s work to OT Israel!
“76And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of
the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of
the Lord to prepare his ways;
77To give knowledge of salvation unto his people
by the remission of their sins,
78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby
the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79To give light to them that sit in darkness and in
the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the
way of peace. 80And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day
of his showing unto Israel” (Luke 1:76-80).

adulterous marriages, innocent-guilty

15. IN MMLJ DID JOHN THE BAPTIST HAVE THE
“KEYS” TO THE NEW TESTAMENT KINGDOM?
NO! THE KEYS TO THE NEW TESTAMENT KINGDOM OF
CHRIST WERE PROMISED ONLY TO PETER – AFTER
JOHN’S DEATH!!!
“17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art
thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:17-19).

16. WHY DID GOD SEND JOHN TO OT ISRAEL?
John’s mission was to”restore” back to faithfulness
to God and the law those Jews who had become
unfaithful to their covenant with Jehovah.
“1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in
the wilderness of Judaea, 2And saying, Repent ye: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand…5Then went out to
him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region
round about Jordan, 6And were baptized of him in
Jordan, confessing their sins. 7But when he saw
many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his
baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to
come? 8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for
repentance” (Matthew 3:1-2, 5-8).
2/23/2015
16
Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly
17. WHY DID GOD SEND JOHN TO ISRAEL?
“Restoration” - forgiveness – “remission of sins”
John’s baptism was for “remission” of Jewish
sins – “salvation” under the OT law of Moses in
Israel!
“77To give knowledge of salvation unto his people
by the remission of their sins, 78Through the
tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us, 79To give light to
them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of
death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit,
and was in the deserts till the day of his showing
unto Israel” (Luke 1:77-80).

18. GOD SENT JOHN TO SAVE OT ISRAEL…
“67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,
and prophesied, saying,
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
redeemed his people,
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house
of his servant David;
70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have
been since the world began:
71That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the
hand of all that hate us;
72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to
remember his holy covenant;
73The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of
our life.

the Lord to prepare his ways;
77To give knowledge of salvation unto his people
by the remission of their sins,
78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby

20. THEY NAMED HIM….JOHN!
“59And it came to pass, that on the eighth
day they came to circumcise the child; and
they called him Zacharias, after the name of
his father.
60And his mother answered and said, Not so;
but he shall be called John.
61And they said unto her, There is none of
thy kindred that is called by this name.
62And they made signs to his father, how he
would have him called.
63And he asked for a writing table, and
wrote, saying, His name is John” (Luke 1:59-

and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and
he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from
his mother’s womb.
16And many of the children of Israel shall he turn
to the Lord their God.
17And he shall go before him in the spirit and
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom
of the just; to make ready a people prepared for
the Lord” (Luke 1:15-17).

John’s OT baptism in MMLJ/BC “prepared a
people for the Lord.”
Why was Jesus baptized of John?
“13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to
Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14But John forbad him, saying, I have need
to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to
me?
15And Jesus answering said unto
him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfil all righteousness”

“Where is the evidence that anyone who had been
baptized by John was required to be baptized following
Pentecost (Acts 2).”
“45Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day:
47And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem.
48And ye are witnesses of these things.
49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon
you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:45-49).

Christ commanded all to – be baptized…
”14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and
upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because
they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up
into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working
with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen”

Israel: 16For I will show him how great things he must
suffer for my name’s sake.
17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the
house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul,
the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the
way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest
receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy
Ghost.18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it
had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and
arose, and was baptized” (Acts 9:15-18)..

“John’s message was, “repent for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand” (Matthew3:2). Does not
this imply that their surrender to his “baptism
of repentance” would grant them entrance into
that “kingdom” when it arrived?”
“NO! For all Old Testament “prophets”
preached “repentance” to sinful Jews under the
law of Moses in Israel who anticipated the
coming of the Messiah and a new kingdom
when the New Testament age began (Isaiah 2:2;
Daniel 2:44).

30. OT PROPHECY-COMING OF NT KINGDOM
“2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that
the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be
established in the top of the mountains, and
shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations
shall flow unto Isaiah 2:2).
“44And in the days of these kings shall the God
of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never
be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left
to other people, but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

32. OT “FORGIVENESS OF SIN”…
“John baptized “for the forgiveness of sin” (Mark
1:4).
All OT sin in Israel waited for the cross!!!
“15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption
of the transgressions that were under the first
testament, they which are called might receive the
promise of eternal inheritance.
16For where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. 17For a
testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it
is of no strength at all while the testator” (Hebrews
9:15-17).

33. WHAT IS JACKSON’S POINT?
A futile effort to get the OT law on
marriage, divorce and marriage in Mathew
19 into the New Testament! 1Corinthians
7 NT doctrine!
He preaches on “living in adultery,
adulterous marriages, innocent-guilty
parties, scriptural-unscriptural
divorces/marriages, and remarry and
remarriage” and other fictitious marital
relationships – none mentioned in the NT!

34. JACKSON DEPENDS ON SECTARIANS…
Jackson quotes William Larkin, professor of
New Testament and Greek at Presbytarian
Columbia Biblical Seminary to prove his
position on John’s baptism.
Wonder if Jackson will accept Larkin’s
position on Ephesians 4:4-6 and the “one
church” equals many denominations?

35. JOHN’S OT BAPTISM NOT IN FORCE…
Before the “great commission”…
“18And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,
I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20).

“Remission” of alien sins…all baptized by
John were already Old Covenant
Israelites!
“21Now when all the people were baptized,
it came to pass, that Jesus also being
baptized, and praying, the heaven was
opened,
22And the Holy Ghost descended in a
bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a
voice came from heaven, which said,
Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am

37. JOHN’S OT BAPTISM DID NOT…
Place people into the death of Christ as does
NT baptism – because Christ not dead!
“3Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
into his death?
4Therefore 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” (Romans 6:3-4).

38. JOHN’S BAPTISM DID NOT PRODUCE…
NEW TESTAMENT “CHRISTIANS”…
“1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at
Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts
came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2He
said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since
ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so
much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3And
he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said, Unto John’s baptism. 4Then said Paul,
John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people, that they should believe on him
which should come after him, that is, on Christ
Jesus. 5When they heard this, they were baptized in the
name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had laid his
hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and
they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7And all the

39. JOHN’S BAPTISM NOT…
For NT salvation, for there was no NT
Savior in the OT age of MMLJ – before the
cross!
No NT salvation as long as OT was in
force!
No NT salvation as long as OT sabbath,
tithing, animal sacrifice, worship in
Jerusalem temple,
and while more than 600 commandments
of the law of Moses were still in force!

Produce a new NT plan of salvation!
Turn John’s OT Baptism into NT Baptism!
Deny the “one baptism” of the NT.
Teach doctrine unknown to Christ, Holy
Spirit!
Reject the doctrine of God!
Lead brethren astray from NT truth!
Send souls to hell!
