#1 , The Mystery is NEVER found in the Gospels !!
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
#2 , It is never preached by Jesus !!
Joh 15:26 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:
Joh 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
#3 , It was never preached by the 12 apostles !
Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
#4 , The 12 never understood Grace , until Paul spoke to Peter !
Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing,
Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Act 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Act 15:11 But we believe that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
#5 , The Mystery has always BEEN HIDDEN , as Col 1:25 and 26 reveal .
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
#6 , Today we are " make all men see what is the Dispensation of the MYSTERY is , in Eph 3:9 .
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
#7 , Notice that Eph 3:9 , does N0T say to make all see what is BAPTIZO / BAPTISMA / BAPTISMO or Languages !!
So?
#8, Eph 1:4 says that we were " chosen in Him , before creation ""
So?
