God does not save unbelievers and unrepentant sinners.
Why do you think John the baptizer was beheaded?
I agree according to the law and testimony , he gives them His power to turn so that then after receiving power they can in turn repent and feel shame comforting themselves knowing they have ben forgiven by the hearing of Faith (Christ's working in us the comforter) .
Knowing that the accuser of the brethren who accuses them day and night no longer has a great effect on their life Yoked with Him the burden is lighter .
John the Baptist when in doubt knowing he was to loss his head was prompted by the Spirit to help comfort him sending them to make sure they John was trusting the correct Son of man Jesus. Jesus sent him back the good news in a parable pertaining to the gospel with a parable filled with metaphors that speak of the gospel rest or or true fast
To the law of repentance . . .as it is written >....
Jeremiah 31:18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus;
Thou hast
chastised me, and
I was
chastised, (The work of God faith ) as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke:
turn thou me, and I shall be
turned; for
thou art the
Lord my God.
Two turning or works of repenting. If God does mighty fully not do the first works or labor of his love. . them mankind having no power cannot repent and comfort one self as the comforting work of the one who does the turning .
Satan would have us believe it is all one work of corrupted powerless mankind .
And to the testimony>>Luke 7 :18-23 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. And
John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? When the men were come unto him, they said,
John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?1 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers (no spiritual sensitivity ) are cleansed, the deaf hear,(spiritual deaf) the dead are raised,(spiritual dead) to the poor ((spiritual bankrupt) the
gospel is
preached. And blessed is
he, whosoever shall
not be
offended in
me.
John was given the assurance of faith . . the
