Let us discuss without sitting one side
Jesus is God ?
He has eternal refuge that means salvation
He neither begets nor is born because he his alpha and omega no beginning no end
His birth is an incarnation
There is no any other name like him nor is there any thing comparable to him
Only Jesus has this attribute

Qur’an Surah Al-Ikhlas with beliefs about Jesus Christ. That interpretation exists within Christian theology, especially when Jesus is understood as eternal and divine.
* “He is One” → understood as the one divine God revealed through Christ.
* “The Eternal Refuge” → connected to salvation through Jesus.
* “He neither begets nor is born” → interpreted spiritually as meaning God is eternal, without beginning or origin.
* Jesus’ physical birth is seen as incarnation, not the beginning of His existence.
* “Nothing comparable to Him” → connected to verses describing Christ as unique and above all creation.
Let connect this with passages such as:

* “In the beginning was the Word…” (John 1:1)
* “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58)
* “I am the Alpha and the Omega” (Revelation 22:13)

Within Christianity, these verses support the belief that Jesus is eternal, divine, and uniquely reveals God.

Look how Muslims interpret Surah Al-Ikhlas very differently.

* Allah is absolutely one and indivisible.
* The phrase “He neither begets nor is born” is specifically understood as rejecting divine sonship or incarnation.
* Jesus is honored as Messiah and prophet, but not God.

So the same words are being read through two different theological lenses:

* Christianity sees incarnation as compatible with God’s eternity.
* Islam sees incarnation as incompatible with God’s absolute transcendence.

My point about incarnation is important because it is one of the central distinctions between the two faiths.

Christians say:

God entered human history.

Muslims say:

God sends prophets but does not become human.

That is why both religions can agree that God is one, eternal, and incomparable, yet still reach different conclusions about Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the eternal God the Son, uncreated, without beginning or end, who became man through incarnation for our salvation. He is fully God and fully man, equal with the Father in divine nature, distinct in person, and uniquely worthy of worship because there is no one comparable to Him.

Assurance of Salvation

Texts

* Romans 8:15–16
* 1 John 4:13

1. Assurance comes from the Spirit, not feelings

Romans 8:15:

“You have not received the spirit of bo***ge again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption…”

This tells you:

* Salvation does not produce fear
* It produces confidence and relationship

👉 Fear-based Christianity is not from the Spirit

2. The Spirit confirms your identity

Romans 8:16:

“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”

This is key.

👉 The Holy Spirit gives inner witness

Not:

* A voice you hear externally
* A feeling that comes and goes

But a deep inward knowing:
“I am a child of God.”

3. Assurance is based on what God did, not what you do

Look at this:

* 1 John 4:13
“Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.”

How do you know you are saved?

👉 Not by:

* Your performance
* Your consistency
* Your emotions

👉 But by this:
You have the Spirit

4. The Spirit removes uncertainty

Before Christ:

* Man was unsure
* Man lived under fear

But now:

👉 The Spirit in you produces certainty

This is why you can say:

* “God is my Father”
* “I belong to Him”

5. Assurance is not arrogance—it is faith

Some people think being sure of salvation is pride.

No.

👉 It is actually believing what God has done.

Doubt is not humility—
doubt questions God’s finished work

Your assurance is not:

* In how you feel
* In how you perform

👉 Your assurance is:
The Spirit God has put inside you
You don’t try to be sure you are saved—the Spirit in you is the proof that you are God’s child.

IS CHRIST USING WATER OR THE HOLY GHOST?
sole purpose of water Baptism was when Jesus was about to begin his ministry and he needed John to announce him to the world through baptism.

"We are making reference to John the Baptist because he is the founder and originator of water Baptism.

John the Baptist's purpose of baptism is to announce Jesus. John himself said i indeed Baptize you with water but the mightier than I will Baptise you with the Holy Ghost. "

THE basic significance of water and holy ghost in baptism. Jesus Christ has come to replace water with holy ghost.

" Today who is baptizing you?. Is it John or Jesus? If it is Jesus, He doesn't use water, Jesus use Holy Ghost. And if it is John, he uses water. Water is symbolic of the spirit.
John chapter seven verse 38 where the concept of the holy spirit is explained.

"When there was no holy Ghost they used water but the moment the Holy Ghost came water expired."

However people should stop believing that once they are Baptized they are automatically born again.

"There are many people in church today that are not born again. What they understand born again is water Baptism. They believe since they have been baptize they are born again and that is why we have a lot of false brethren." The essence of you being a Christian is for you to be saved. Water baptism has never saved anybody but only your believe in Christ do

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Just say the word which is to say that Jesus is the Christ that's all, you are saved.
All these long long religious rituals like baptism, confession to a priest etc are just formalities for people to see, and they do not save anyone. The main thing that matters is that your believe or faith in your heart which people don't see, that is the thing that saves!

Our sins are forgiven already in Christ Jesus

Forgiveness is a finished work, not a future promise
The Bible never presents forgiveness as something God is still deciding to do.

Colossians 2:13
“And you, being dead in your sins… He has forgiven you ALL trespasses.”

Not some.
Not past ones only.
All.

Forgiveness happened once, through the cross.

2. Jesus did not die for sins yet committed — He died before we committed any

Think about this:

Romans 5:8
“While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

When Jesus died:
• You hadn’t repented yet
• You hadn’t confessed yet
• You hadn’t even been born yet

So forgiveness could not have been based on your future actions. It was based solely on His sacrifice.

3. Forgiveness is not begged for — it is received

Many believers continually ask God for forgiveness, as though it were an ongoing process.

But Scripture says:

Ephesians 1:7
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”

Notice the tense:
👉 have, not will have.

Confession is not to get forgiveness — it is to acknowledge what is already done and restore fellowship, not relationship.

4. God is not counting sins anymore

This is massive:

2 Corinthians 5:19
“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them.”

If God is not counting sins,
then what are believers counting for Him?

5. So why do believers still struggle with guilt?

Because:
• Forgiveness is a legal reality
• Guilt is a knowledge problem

Hosea 4:6
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

You don’t grow by more forgiveness.
You grow by more understanding more of forgiveness.

In summary:

✔ Sins are forgiven — once and for all
✔ The cross settled it completely
✔ Believers live from forgiveness, not towards it.

EXERCISING THE BELIEVER’S AUTHORITY

Jesus expresses another important fact.

Mark 11:23 ...and doubt not in his heart...

He speaks of doubt.

Matthew 21:21 ... if you have faith and doubt not... How is doubt noticed?

Doubt in the heart is expressed in words.

Only God knows what is in a man’s heart.

1st Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Therefore since man cannot know what is in another’s heart, demons also cannot know what is in another man’s heart.

Fear, doubt and unbelief are expressed via words. Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, ... Jesus here spoke against worrying.

So how do you take thought? By saying.

Therefore, doubt and worry can come to you as thoughts.
Circumstances will present themselves that would communicate fear and worry but these would only have an impact when you say it

That is, fear, worry and doubt come as thoughts, as a temptation, but would die unborn until you say it.

Why? Because what you refuse to say has no authority over your life.

Matthew 10:19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

So the thoughts will come, words would be given to you.

But when doubt and worry come as thoughts, we must not speak emotionally, rather we should take words that are programmed.

Doubt, worry, fear are expressed in words.

Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

How did Jesus know Martha was worried? He knew because she expressed it in words

Vs 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

Luke 12:11 ...take no thought...

Philippians 4:6 be anxious for nothing...

The word “Nothing” was translated from the Greek word, “medeis.” It means none, not at all, do not say it.

That is, there would be a care, a worry but do not act upon it, do not give it words. Let it not be in your words, rather what should be in your words should be prayer, supplication with thanksgiving.

Acting upon worry is in words.
However the truth is, if you let it tarry long enough, you would say it.

Every thought came to you by words, words said to you, you cannot control the words that are spoken to you, but you can control what comes out of you.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Vs 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
Vs 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Vs 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

It is not fear or fearful until you have said it,.

Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

The word, “Fearful” describes excessive dread. How did he know that they were fearful?

Matthew 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
So Fear, doubt and worry die unborn until they are spoken,

Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

How did Jesus know Peter doubted? His words gave him away.

Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Vs 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

So doubt and fear are in words.
If it is left to linger on on your thoughts, it would become your words.

Notice also that you cannot kill thoughts by thoughts. You neutralize or annul doubt by words.

Circumstances would communicate words to you, but you now need to hear yourself .

Matthew 14:31 ... O thou of little faith...

The words “little faith” describes something that was there but did not stay.

That is, you started off by faith but as time went on, you doubted and did not stay on in faith.

So it is possible to start out in faith and along the line veer off into doubt and fear.

Mark 4:24 And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. (Amplified Bible)

So the walk of faith has to be consistent,

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein...

The believer has to continue to look..

Continue to pay attention to the word, then you will be able to reproduce the same in your words.

Consistency in the faith walk, begins by constantly and consistently filling your mind with God’s word, who you are in Christ.

CONFESSION: I do not allow fear, worry and doubt in my words, I speak faith filled words all the time, I speak God’s word all the time, I speak loud and clear who I am in Christ.
