Colossians 2:12,3:1 Display Chapter and Footnotes ¹² Buried with him in the baptism [of death], you will be raised with him through your belief in the operation of God, who raised him from the dead.³ [This rising with Christ is not after the normal physical death of all men; it is the death of a seeker who has been crucified, who loses his life to save his life. Like the resurrection of Lazarus, after you undergo the baptism of death, the Lord calls you by name to "come forth." In regard to the baptism of death to then be raised to new life, the Word of the Lord within spoke: "There is a dying. One actually dies to enter the camp. Christ is actually resurrected in every person that comes to Him and obeys Him repetitively. You have not experienced grace until you have been raised with Him. You are raised to a new life, not just an imitation; He is one with us and ever-present. With persistent and faithful obedience, you too will be raised." For detail on the baptism of fire and death, see the footnote to Matthew 3:11-12 on this site.] Display Chapter and Footnotes ¹ If you will be risen with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.¹ [This rising with Christ is not after the normal physical death of all men; it is the death of a seeker who has been crucified, who loses his life to save his life. From the Word of the Lord within: "Christ is actually resurrected in every person that comes to Him and obeys Him repetitively. With persistent and faithful obedience, you too will be raised. You have not experienced grace until you have been raised with Him." This verse is universally translated as "you have been risen," (past tense), because the verse is in the Aorist prophetic tense, (explained in Colossians 1:1), a Greek prophetic tense of verbs used to describe a certain future event as having already occurred, which events are typically translated in other languages to a simple past tense.	Ephesians 2:6 Display Chapter and Footnotes ⁶ And has raised us up together [with Christ], and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.³ [This is to have experienced being translated into the kingdom of heaven, where you are with Christ in sight and consciousness. From the Word of the Lord within: "I work with the blind; but if you think you can see, and you are not with me in heaven, I will make you a laughingstock."]	John 5:25 Display Chapter and Footnotes ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, 'The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live. [There is no one-time resurrection of the dead for all men of all ages that Christianity teaches, for as Paul wrote: "And when we were (past tense) dead in our sins, He brought (past tense) us to life in union and fellowship with Christ; it is through grace that you are saved; And has raised (past tense) us up together [with Christ], and made (past tense) us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Eph 2:5-6. Paul and some of the Ephesians had already been resurrected from being dead in their sins. To pass from death to life, we first have to listen to the Holy Spirit and the word of the Lord within to hear and obey His many teachings and commands. Then with long persistence and patience in doing obedient works of repentance, we experience the baptism of fire and death, to then hear the Voice of the Lord like thunder over waters as we pass over from death to life and into the kingdom. You lose your life at the conclusion of your crucifixion of self, with many many acts of commanded repentance, several trials with suffering, and then the baptism of fire, which is the baptism of death. From the Word of the Lord within: "There is a dying. One actually dies to enter the camp. You are raised to a new life, not just an imitation; He is one with us and ever-present. These are not paths of glory traveled lightly." For detail on this baptism of fire and death, see the footnote to Matthew 3:11-12 on this site.	Romans 6:13 Display Chapter and Footnotes ¹³ Neither yield your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield yourselves to God, as those that are raised alive from the dead, and your members for instruments to be used for righteousness by God.³ [You lose your life at the conclusion of your crucifixion, with many many acts of commanded repentance, several trials with suffering, and then the baptism of fire, which is the baptism of death. From the Word of the Lord within: "There is a dying. One actually dies to enter the camp. You are raised to a new life, not just an imitation; He is one with us and ever-present." When raised, God will guide your thoughts, words, and works. We are then a fit instrument for his hand to show the world the love of God, to shake the nations, and to hold out the word of life. Walking under the Spirit's total control, we walk as Jesus walked, and we do works of righteousness as Jesus worked righteousness; then, and only then, are we righteous. Little children, let no man deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. 1 John 3:7]	2 Corinthians 4:14 Display Chapter and Footnotes ¹⁴ Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, shall also raise us up with Jesus , and [he] shall be present with you. [From the Word of the Lord within: "You have not experienced grace until you have been raised with Him. Christ is actually resurrected in every person that comes to Him and obeys Him repetitively. With persistent and faithful obedience, you too will be raised. You are raised to a new life, not just an imitation; He is one with us and ever-present. If you pay attention and obey, it results in union with God. He joins with our cleansed nature. We must become like Him to merge with Him. Once you are in union, it is permanent. There are very few people who, when they see what God is, would turn down union with him."]	Philippians 3:10-11 Display Chapter and Footnotes ¹⁰ That I may know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and even be conformed to him in his death; [Paul writes of experiencing the power of His resurrection and be like him in his death. If you will reign with him, you must suffer with him, 2 Tim 2:12; if you will live with him, you must die with him, 2 Tim 2:11; and if you die with him, you must be buried with him, Rom 6:4; and buried with him in the true baptism, you will be raised with him, Col 2:12, Eph 2:6. We die with Him (Jesus) when we undergo the baptism of fire and death; from the Word of the Lord: "There is a dying. One actually dies to enter the camp. You are raised to a new life, not just an imitation; He is one with us and ever-present."] ¹¹ in order to attain the resurrection from death. [After we have crucified our old man, we are raised with Christ as a new creature. From the Word of the Lord within: "Christ is actually resurrected in every person that comes to Him and obeys Him repetitively." Then it is no longer you who lives, but Christ who lives in you, Gal 2:20. Paul is encouraging the Philippians who have not yet died in the baptism of death and been resurrected to a new life with Christ and God in them.]
