Summary
(All of this Section titled "Summary" is reprinted from the book in its entirety.)
The New Covenant is about life in the Spirit, and salvation is only through the Spirit. “Salvation” means the saving of the soul (life) from the lake of fire commonly called “hell” as a form of “second death” of the soul after the flesh dies. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:14.
The logical steps to entering the kingdom are these:
1. [Learning from the first man] Believe God is God, and believe what He says by desiring His Word/will sincerely from the heart. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews11:6 (Emphasis added).
2. [Learning from the OT Jews] Believe Jesus is the Christ in name as the sacrifice for the sins and transgressions of mankind, and as God. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 12:49; see also John 8:28 and 14:10.
3. [Learning from Jesus the man] The Word is God in Spirit and the spirit of the man Jesus. Therefore, we must believe what Jesus said. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:2-5(Emphasis added).
4. [Learning from Jesus as God–the Word] Receive the Holy Ghost through repentance from the heart to know and DO God’s will, starting with repentance! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke 8:20-21. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17.
