THE KEYS TO THE NEW TESTAMENT KINGDOM OF CHRIST WERE PROMISED ONLY TO PETER AFTER JOHNS DEATH!!!17And Jesus answered and said unto him,Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealedit 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).2/23/201515Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyWhy did God send john to ot israel?Johns mission was torestore 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 hand5Then 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).

2/23/201516Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyWhy did god send John to israel?Restoration - forgiveness remission of sinsJohns 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 andin 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).2/23/201517Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyGod Sent John to save OT Israel67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,68Blessedbe 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 mercypromised 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.2/23/201518Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly

God raised up John...in 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 andin 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).2/23/201519Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyThey 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, Notso; 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 1:59-63). 2/23/201520Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson arguesFirst, there is no clear definitive statement regarding this theme in the New Testament record. None to support Jackson!One must, therefore, assemble all the evidence available, and then attempt to draw what what he perceives to be a reasonable conclusion. Jackson makes his own doctrine!2/23/201521Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson arguesJohns mission: make ready a people prepared for the Lord (Luke1:17). For the OT Messiah! Not for NT SAVIOUR!15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mothers 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).

2/23/201522Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson arguesJohns 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,Sufferit to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness (Matthew 3:13-15).2/23/201523Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson arguesWhere 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).2/23/201524Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyPeter says apostles baptizedChrist commanded all to be baptized14Afterward 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 withthem, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen (Mark 16:14-20).

2/23/201525Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyPeter says apostles baptizedPaul baptized15But the Lord said unto him,Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:16For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my names 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)..2/23/201526Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyPeter says apostles baptizedPeter baptized 20Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21The like figure whereuntoeven baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:22Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him (1Peter 3:20-22).2/23/201527Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJACKSON ARGUESThough the kingdom of Christ was not fully set in motion until the day of Pentecost, it was certainly in a preparatory phrase during the Lords personal ministry.NO PREPARATOY PHASE BIBLE!42And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God (Mark 15:43).

2/23/201528Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson arguesJohns 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).2/23/201529Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyOT Prophecy-coming of NT Kingdom2And it shall come to pass in the last days,that the mountain of the LORDS 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).

2/23/201533Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJackson depends on sectariansJackson quotes William Larkin, professor of New Testament and Greek at Presbytarian Columbia Biblical Seminary to prove his position on Johns baptism.Wonder if Jackson will accept Larkins position on Ephesians 4:4-6 and the one church equals many denominations?2/23/201534Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJOHNS OT BAPTISM NOT IN FORCEBefore the great commission18And 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).2/23/201535Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJohns baptism not forRemission of alien sinsall 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 well pleased (Luke 3:21-22).2/23/201536Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJohns OT baptism did notPlace 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).2/23/201537Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyJohns baptism did not produceNew Testament christians1And 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 Johns 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 heardthis, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.6And when Paul had laidhis hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.7And all the men were about twelve (Acts 19:1-7).2/23/2015Bible Studies by Dan Billingsly38Johns baptism notFor 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!No NT grace as long as OT law in force!2/23/201539Bible Studies by Dan BillingslyWhat is Jacksons 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!
