Hebrews 4:2 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them”
.
Trying to get the truth out to the lost churchians.
Worshipers of the doctrines of men.
Dispensationalism is a disease of the spirit.
.
Sigh. Nope.
Greek - oikonomia - management of household affairs, stewardship, administration, administration, dispensation.
Never once is it translated "provision" or any of it's Synonyms.
The gospel (good news0 was preached to them in type just as the sacrifices were a type. They were under the management of the law. We are under the management of grace having the sacrifice of Christ already paid the price.
What gibberish!
Dispensationalism is obviously divinely delivered strong delusion!
.
More confusion from the assigned confuser.
listening to Rood the prophet of the deceiver will do that for sure.
“Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”—Galatians 3:23-29
Too bad that Abraham didn’t have any faith when he put Isaac on the altar....
Too bad Jacob didn’t have any faith when he wrestled with the Lord...
Too bad Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego didn’t have any faith in the furnace...
Too bad Daniel had no faith in the Lion’s den..
Yep, they had to wait for faith,’captive’ in the loving arms of Yehova’s Torah. Had they any faith, we might have a Savior. Oh well.

1. How do I identify a person (male or female) with the Holy Spirit's authority to baptize?
2. Can it be still water? Salt or fresh? Must it be full immersion or can I just sprinkle the water?
3. To whom would the baptizee confess their sins to? What is "a sincere lifetime walkout in faith and how do I recognize it?
I was stating the tradition.
The symbolism of the water washing over and carrying away the sins is what it was all about. There is nothing in scripture about sprinkling. Every baptism in the NT is at a stream.
This authority thing begs an example.
>> “ What is “a sincere lifetime walkout in faith and how do I recognize it?” <<
.
By living it. Matthew 24 gives us Yeshua’s clear words: “He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.” All of the NT authors have written a similar requirement in their letters.
.
How about the other two questions?
How do I identify a person (male or female) with the Holy Spirit’s authority to baptize?
To whom would the baptizee confess their sins to?
What is one to “endure” to the end?
