For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust, that he might bring
US to God berg pnt to coath in tie flesh, but
quckened by the Spirit
BY which also he went and preached unto the
spirit in prison. Peter 3-!s-I9
At Christ's death he went when
The left the body and preached to
the spirits in prison he was put
to death in the flesh and quick.
ened by the spirit, that he might
bring US to God. For this rea-
son he went and preached to the
spirits in prison. For he said.
Verify, verify, lsay unto you, Tie hour is
coming, and now is when the dead shall Lear
the voice of the Son Of God: and they that
hear shall live. StJohn 5-@5
! We have before us fact. and
that is, that the dead at that very
time while he was speaking
should hear his voice and live.
-, And we learn that in the scrip
ture above, Christ had no refer
ence to the people who had died
and was buried. For he said
-;again.
Marvel not at This; for. the hour is coming. in
the which all that are in tho graves shall hear
bis voice
And shall conc forth they that have done
good unto the resurrection of life; and they
that have done evil unto the resurrection Of
damnation. St John 1899
Now the next thing is to find
out just when this occurred, Sc
please read.
-" Jesus, when he had cried
again with loud voice, yielded
up the ghost.
And, behold, the veil OF the
temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom; and the
, earth did quake, and the rocks
rent.
And the, graves were opened
and many bodies Of the saints
/ which slept arose,
} And came out of the graves at
ter his resurrection, and wen
: into the holy city, and appeared
r unto many" (Matt. 27,5O,51.5:
4 -53.)
t Here the question is answered
can a whole nation be born q
2 once or can the earth be made
! to bring forth in one day.. Ais
r the declaration, in part is an
S swer, to this, I'VE must b.
n born again to see the kingdom
y of Cod. This was the spiritua
L birth of the intre Gentle Nation
: Who WIS the other sheep tina
r Christ spoke of when he sale
I other sheep have which are no
e of this fold? And this made
!, a ye~y hard thing fvr Nlcode
n mus to see, how they could b
e born again. But now it is plat
l. they was first born into thi
G world naturally, beginning wi.
n the sixth day. And now at tn
e resurrection of Christ: The,
e were born spiritually, And tn
It Baptism of John, were for thos
IT dead as much so as those VIII
were living, and it was for thi
n reason Paul said.
l. Else whatshall they do whic
IS are baptized for the dead If tn
d dead rise not at all? why are the
r then baptized for the dead?
d Il Cor. 1929
a. And it was fer this reaso
Of Christ said unless ye are Dor
W of the water and the spirit J
ID can not enter into the kingdo
of Goj. This is one rease
III; why We claim that Baptis
should be administered 10 Il
Gentle world by mmersio
g" 1t must represent birth. Or
=, other words it becomes a W
int ness 10 the birth for the spiri
like uoto.the House of Corne]iou
I'd trusting our friend Mr.. Ellis
st. may see the grand and beautit
on truths there is in those sayin
in Of Christ, we shall wait any fl
IS tLcr questions that may arise.
