May I add a thought for consideration!

Baptism in Jesus name was practiced by those who came into the new covenant through the new birth which was baptism instead of circumcision (John 3:5) First practiced by those who were the first to be born again of water and Spirit. (Acts 2:38)

Is baptism the sign of the new covenant? Absolutely! Jesus baptism proves this too be so, for it was at his baptism he was first called “son” all who are sons have their sins remitted in his name. (Jews Acts 2. Gentiles Acts 10).

Thanks for allowing me to respond.The Lord bless you
Paul.

]]> Comment on Length of Tenure by Ronald Kendrick http://expositorythoughts.wordpress.com/2006/02/20/length-of-tenure/#comment-24061 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:22:38 +0000 https://expositorythoughts.wordpress.com/2006/02/20/length-of-tenure/#comment-24061 I am a pastor who is in my 2nd pastorate. In my first pastorate, I stayed for at 4 years and knew when my season was complete at my first church. Every pastor is not called to certain churches for a long period of time. I am now in my second pastorate. Yes, I have just completed my 4th year. Shepherding God’s people is not easy, especially if you are doing it God’s way. According to scripture, the Apostle Paul did not have it easy either. Yes, sometimes, I find myself getting frustrated and there are times I ask the Lord is my time completed. Note only God knows when your tenure is completed. Keep in mind that the bible states in the last days how the church would be. Remember, as pastors, we are to feed the flock and oversee it. God does the rest. When time come, and one is in tune with the Holy Spirit, God will reveal when one’s season is completed.
