WHOSOEVER SINS from Abraham Kutty PG's blog

Whosesoever Sins !

John  20:23  

Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

See, the powerful authority Jesus Christ had given to His Disciples.

According to the Power and Authority received from Jesus Christ,  Disciples (Apostles) did following signs, wonders and miracles :-

Cast devils

Healed sicks

Lame walked

Blinds see, AND

Dead raised, by laying hands on them. Yet, they never remitted anybody's sin, by laying hands on them. 

By reading literally the above quoted words, (Jn. 20:23) we understand that, Apostles had authority and power to remit sins, according to JESUS commandment. 

Jesus said :

1. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; 

2. whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

Then how they (Apostles) remitted sins of the people ?

By laying hands ? No.

By uttering Jesus name ? No.

Then how Apostles executed that commandment of Jesus, remitting sins ? 

They knew thoroughly what was the hidden meaning behind that commandment. 

Accordingly,  they obeyed following :-

Luke  24:47 

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

So, the above commandment of Jesus, how they executed practically? 

See the scripture: 

Acts  2:37 

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  

2:38 

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Any other mode of baptisms will not remit sins. 

Remission of sins only can be achieved through baptism, in the name of Jesus Christ, according to Acts. 2:38.

Hanging on Matthew's 28:19 commandment will not remit sins, but understand the meaning of Mat. 28:19 and executing the commandment in the name of Jesus Christ is the right and wise way, like Apostles did.

Be wise and knowledgeable, in line with Apostles understanding and  knowledge. Otherwise, only repeating the commandment "Father Son Holyghost", you are a false and deceiving worker, attract wrath on your head.

Apostles are the only way to understand what Jesus Christ's doctrine.  Following Apostles doctrine (preached and taught) is, following Jesus Christ.

Therefore, anybody wanted to be a "Real and True Christian",  follow Apostles doctrine, which is the doctrine of Christ.
