First Epistle of John (audio)...a verse by verse study...Chapters 4-5...by Rick Roehm

This part two study is MP3 audio only. Didn't get a chance to transpose to video like pt. 1. Does contain great information on John's rebuttal of Gnosticism and the victory that all children of God can have in Christ Jesus.

1 John verse by verse chapters 4-5

What takes place when a sinner’s heart is cleansed from sin?

The old hymnal I love very much asks the question? What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Rick Roehm asks the question, “What takes place when a sinner’s heart is cleansed from sin?”

The unholy heart is made holy as God’s Justification takes place. The new nature is given to the believer in Christ because of regeneration of the Spirit. God takes man out of the world and “baptizes” him into the body and person of Christ. By one Spirit we are all baptized into one body. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Repent and be baptized everyone of you for the remission of sins…

Many things take place when a sinner is made into a child of God. Sin is washed away. The heart of man is cleansed. The Spirit’s baptism “puts the repented sinner into Christ”. A miracle takes place when every sin committed in the past life is forgiven. The dirty heart of fallen man is made clean. The sin stains are washed away as a result of suffering and shed blood of Christ. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Or…There is power, power, wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb. Or, He sought me, and he bought me with His redeeming Blood.

The cleansing power of the cross flows into man’s heart and life. Baptism takes place as God immerses the beleiver into Christ. This baptism is performed by the Spirit of God. Forgiveness is found and the conscience is freed from the guilt of sin. Many things take place in the heart of man according to the power of God’s Grace.

The heart is made clean. Man is “placed into” (baptized)into right-standing with God. It’s soul cleansing that comes from above. Born of the Spirit washed in His blood. Many things take place in redemption. I write of these things to clarify words in the Bible such as redemption, Salvation, being cleansed, the Spirit’s baptism, remission of sins, forgiveness, Justification, Sanctification, etc.

Honored to share with you what God has shared with me. Love using the lyrics to the old hymnals also. Those songs were scripturally sound. Based on the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb. This Blog also illustrates what takes place when a sinner repents, believes, and finds redemption in the human soul. God puts man into Christ. Man is baptized by the Spirit into the holiness and purity of Christ. If any man gets into Christ he is a new creation. We are His workmanship “created” in Christ Jesus. Much happened! Much took place! The sinner becomes a saint of God! Glory!

The Holy Spirit "testifies" Christ to the heart of man

The Holy Spirit shows man Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals the person of Christ. Christ is made known to the human family by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is the witness of God to the human family.

When the Gospel is preached Christ is made known. Christ shows the sinner his need to turn from sin and disobedience. Light shines and reveals sin. The Spirit's testimony tells the sinner there is a better way in the person of Christ.

This witness of the Spirit can convict. This witness can stir man so much that fallen man will turn from evil and wrongdoing. The Spirit's witness can be seen in goodness that "leads" or "causes" fallen man to change his mind. The Gospel message gets into man's thinking enough that the Holy Spirit can sway fallen man to believe.

The Holy Spirit "testifies" Christ to the human soul. There is power in preaching because the ministration of the Holy Spirit is behind preaching and touches man with truth and love. This touch is the Spirit's testimony of Christ.

John 15:26-27... But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness

We appreciate your prayers

We appreciate your love, your prayers, and your support that is given to us from the Spirit of Christ that brings us together.

Miracles come from the Throneroom

Miracles never ceased because Christ is alive and seated in all power and authority...in the Throneroom today! Christ confirms the truth of the Word of God with His signs, wonders, and miracles...from the Throneroom today. I've always known this but the revelation is becoming more clear and vivid to my heart and thinking. Brother Lindsey sparked this writer to that revelation of Christ, the miracle worker many years ago. Signs, wonders, and miracles come from an exalted Christ in the Throneroom. Glory! Signs, wonders, and miracles come from Christ's living active power and from His living active presence in the Church. Christ touches, and moves, and performs these miracles through His infinite love, mercy, and compassion for the human family. Healing comes from Christ. This writer is believing Christ for a miracle and wonder in the life and body of his precious wife Paula who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I know Christ's hand is upon this ministry and this family. Jesus is first and foremost...above all things in our hearts and lives. Your prayers for this situation are thankfully accepted; but I am also asking those around the globe with great faith in Christ to believe and trust with this minister and husband of Paula for a present day miracle from the Throneroom. Believe and Trust what God said! Believe and Trust what God does! Believe and Trust what God promised! Miracles never ceased because Christ is alive and seated in all power and authority...in the Throneroom today! Christ confirms the truth of the Word of God with His signs, wonders, and miracles...from the Throneroom today. Will you trust with Rick Roehm for Christ to make this confirmation? Thank you Brothers and Sisters for your love and concern.

Mark 16:20...the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following

Hebrews 2:4...God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles,

John 20:30...Many other signs also Jesus did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book

Enjoy the Churches on Trial audio and video library of Hubert T. Lindsey

This Blog originated in Feb. of 2009. It is a Blog written and authored by Rick Roehm a man of God discipled under the ministry of Hubert T. Lindsey. This writer has endeavored by the Grace of God to keep Brother Lindsey's ministry, preaching, and theology, alive and in the present tense. Brother Lindsey left many teaching audios recorded for the cause of Christ. Google, Wordpress, Facebook, Sermon Net, and other social media groups have assisted in keeping this ministry alive. At this site I publish the past Evangelistc Services, Radio Broadcasts, and Church Services where Brother Lindsey ministered and compiled for future listening. This ministry is not in it for financial profit but for the Salvation of Souls and edification to those who are saved. The time invested in this site and other sites as well for the furtherance of Brother Lindsey's ministry is given by men who love God and cherish what Brother Lindsey left behind for the cause of Christ. God made the way for us to do his will. We find time to do such. Thank you for stopping by the Churches on Trial, a Blog written, maintained, and published in dedication to Hubert T. Lindsey. A complete Theology is offered at this site and lifetime of study material. Surf around the site and enjoy! Appreciate you stopping by.

Sincerely,
Rick Roehm

What does the Churches on Trial mean?

The origin of the radio broadcast (which this site was named from) was a call in talk show that took Biblical questions that were answered by Brother Lindsey who was a guest on the show. The moderator was Jim Elsman a Lawyer in Detroit Mi. The show and the Biblical answers it provided actually put many local Churches on Trial. Why? Biblical answers given by Brother Lindsey revealed hidden truths that many denominations don't adhere to. Truth reveals. Truth removes the cloak of sin. Truth shows how many denominational are just short of the mark.

This site that contains many of the teachings and recordings that Brother Lindsey made still puts many local Churches on Trial today. It causes people to examine the Holy Scriptures more closely. It reveals truth from the Bible that many people overlook or dodge in this modern era.

The Churches on Trial is a God ordained continuation of the ministry that Brother Lindsey left behind. Today that ministry goes around the globe bringing glory and honor to Christ around the world. There are many hungry people in the world today that want to know Christ and the truth of the Holy Scriptures. The Churches on Trial does just that. We bring forth Bible Truth without compromise or denominational sway.

Our purpose is to magnify Christ in an unbelieving world. The Churches on Trial means truth without bias. The Churches on Trial means learning the Bible in context. The Churches on Trial means the ministry of Holy Hubert didn't die. The Churches on Trial means a lot more people desire to know the Truth about what the Scriptures really teach.
