The great deception Jesus warned us about in Matthew 24:4-5 is happening today as hundreds of millions of Christians are entering alliances with the false church of the Roman Catholic Pope. This 33-minute message is also available on iTunes and Soundcloud.com and Brighteon.com.

Greetings, my siblings-in-Christ.
I have a question, and I would like your inputs on it. I shall be glad and grateful to receive your answers. Here is my question:
If an unbeliever receives the good news of Jesus Christ through an online or digital platform, believes the message, and is willing to be water baptized, but cannot meet the preacher in person for this, is there any biblical objection to baptizing the individual through a live video call or something similar? I cannot think of any scriptural objection to this. So if anybody has any insights or testimonies to share in this regard, please do.
Holy Spirit transcends time and space. The belief from the person being baptised is spiritual. Jesus said that his words are spirit and truth. A person is saved the moment the Lord knows they truly believe and receive him as Lord and Savior. I would think that, if given a choice, it would be preferable to be baptised in a natural body of water and by a live person. But, I believe the Lord will honor the way you described if they have truly believed and received the Lord Jesus Christ. Just my thoughts. I remember reading in the book, “I Dared to Call Him Father”, how she baptised herself in her own tub. This was a Muslim lady who Jesus powerfully drew to himself. She said that Jesus was the one to have her baptise herself. I recommend the book if you like to read testimonies.
Thank you for pitching in with your inputs, Stacey. I appreciate your taking the time to reply.
Doesn’t have to be a preacher. The person could just ask another Christian to do the baptizing.
I agree. Any Bible-believing disciple of the Lord can baptize; it doesn’t have to be a preacher or evangelist.
I find it incredible to believe that there are some who are actually convinced that any effort expended toward living a holy and righteous life is to believe in salvation by works. I had to actually hear a pastor preach against this ridiculous mind-set to realize that there are actually people of this mentality living in the world today. What is ironic is that there are also some who do believe that their “good” works will save them.
back in the 1990’s I participated in the Toronto Blessing and experienced remarkable refreshment to my Christian walk. But in 2014 I was heart sick when I saw the photo of the Arnotts’ with Pope Francis and others and that they had a 3 hour meeting with him to discuss the unity of the faith. I just hoped it was a bad mistake and they would not pursue that relationship. Even though I haven’t heard of any more encounters that the Arnotts have had with the pope, walls go up and alarms go off when I hear any teaching from the Arnotts…it’s funny how that one meeting has caused me to lose all trust with them.
James I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the New Apostolic Reformation lead by Peter Wagner? thanks
I know how you feel Joan. It was upsetting to see the Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Evangelicals and many others join with the harlot church, but even more upsetting to see leaders whom I have personally followed, respected and loved. This has motivated me as a confirmation that my focus on this topic is very much needed.
Regarding the NAR, I believe the scriptures contradict the whole seven mountains claim that Christians will take over the world prior to the Lord’s return and lead the world into everlasting righteousness. The scriptures reveal the exact opposite with the antichrist ruling the world and waging war against Christians. However, I am saddened by some of the messages I’ve seen attacking NAR because many great men and women of God are being falsely accused which causes confusion as people then avoid their messages. We can expose false doctrines without attacking or slandering our Christian brothers and sisters.
Unfortunately, many people confuse steadfastness in Christ with steadfastness toward their denominations. There is a stronghold in their hearts and minds that prevents them from receiving the truth even when it is right in front of them.
I heard John Arnott speak only a few times many years ago, here in London, Ontario. After hearing him speak for the second time, about a month afterwards, I seen this picture of a bunch of people with Pope Francis, I recognized John Arnotts profile in the picture, that was enough for me. When I used to be on Facebook, I posted that picture, which some people didn’t like…since they’re close to the Arnott Family.

Hello Rita – reading this post & the comment section : I looked @ the link you sent: uk apologetics library ..all of them sitting @ the dinner table with Pope Francis..The person/-male in the middle of Kenneth Copeland & the Pope is /was Bishop Tony Palmer..I think from memory he was from ? an Anglican branch. of the church.. he & Kenneth Copeland linked up via live stream to the Pope in Rome confessing they were all one in Christ Jesus.. Bishop Tony Palmer in that video said the Reformation is over..do you have any objections.. something like that.. it was some time after I watched that particular video that it was reported Bishop Tony Palmer died in a motorcycle accident ? in a lane way not too far from where he lived in the UK.

Thank you, James, for your faithfulness to our Lord Jesus and for your boldness in putting this out. May the Lord bless you.
If the jesuits are in charge, they’ve only been around since the 1500s. Who was in charge before them?
When the prophet Daniel interpreted the dream received by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, he explained the statue revealed in the dream represented four kingdoms. (Daniel 2) The final kingdom was Rome, represented by the legs of iron and feet of iron and clay. So the Jesuits are just the latest and darkest chapter in a long history of tyranny from the Roman kingdom which began in 753 BC.
I’m so grateful for your voice in this time. Thanks for sharing the truth of God and the warnings God brings. Bless you.
