Rite of Passage by Ian Traill



Introduction

God has given us in the Bible, a message, instructions, a love letter, a symphony in words and a road map for life so we can find our way home. The religious spirits are active in the Church to try to persuade some to lose their way. This is done by introducing involved, complicated, burdensome theology to weigh down many. The Devil perpetrates a big lie and the bigger the lie the easier it is to carry it off. How can I say this and keep you reading this book? Please let me ask you another question. Is sin a problem to God? The answer is, No. It is the spiritual sickness of man, therefore it is only a problem to man. God desires to hear repentance so that the healing can take place. The last three sentences have summed up the whole issue of restoration of fellowship.

The introduction of involved, complicated, burdensome theology to weigh people down has been done by many to stay in control or power but to add to their crime they have implemented tradition too.

If you decide to follow these traditions or a burdensome theology that’s not a problem to God and it’s not a problem to me either. The main issue is that your heart be set on Him.

The purpose of this book is to uncover fundamental Rites of Passage that all Christians have placed before them in the Word of God to help in the process of life for now and eternity.

New born Christians may have many questions such as:

When are we saved?

When can we be water baptized?

What is the baptism in the Holy Spirit?

How should I behave?

This study endeavours to open up the sequential and logical steps for a believer, as set out in the Word of God, using Old Testament Typology compared to New Testament out-working.

A Christian who doesn’t study the Word of God will not be able to live to the fullness of what God has promised to him or her. The enemy is trying to steal away our peace, and finally destroy us, by turning us away from God. Sometimes people fall into religious form, losing the intimacy of a relationship with a living God.

As we study this book we will look at God’s order so that believers can maintain their freedom. 

2Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision. (ISV) 

Here we see that to be approved workers, we are to study His Word. This is right, but let us look at the second part of this statement.

         handling the word of truth with precision.

The word, “precision” has an implication of importance and we need to know how to handle it in our defence against the enemy.  We need to understand the Word of God clearly, so that we can extinguish the fiery arrows of the enemy.

Being a Christian is to be in a state of awareness of the freedom given by the Lord Jesus Christ. Our understanding of the order found in the Bible will be a good defence against religious spirits that try to steal away your peace.

Be strong and run a good race, being well armed in the understanding of the Word of God.
