In being a New Testament Christian, we will become a Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in our Heavenly Home because flesh and blood can not inherit the Kingdom of God in heaven. "As we have born the image of the earthly (the earthly man who possesses a created physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (the Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Corinthians 15:49 Therefore, since we have been created and redeemed so that we can become a Spiritual Person, this highly amplifies all aspects of our own divine nature of life because we will become a Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in our Heavenly Home.

I am Charles Burke. Let me illustrate the Spiritual Personage of God and the Spiritual Personage of Christ in matters of our own creation and redemption of life so that we can learn more about the greatness of our own immortality of life.

I. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Spiritual Personage of God which would be a Spiritual Body and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin. This is why God said, "Let us (who are the Persons that are called God) make (create) man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image" (of life). John said concerning those three Persons who equally are called God in being our Creator, "For there are three (Persons) that bear record (of our creation) in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit: and these three (Persons) are one" (equal) in power, rule authority because They equally possess the same Personage, Powers, Nature and Attributes of the one and only God in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life. Genesis 1:26-27, 1 John 5:7 (*Personage means possessing a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit. *Powers signify being Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. *Nature reveals being eternal, impartial, perfect, spiritual and etc. *Attributes indicate being lovable, righteous, merciful, faithful, and etc.)

II. We have been created so that we can possess the Spiritual Personage of God which would be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life because we are the offspring of God. Moses said concerning the characteristics of our own created personage of life, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground (giving us our physical body which will be translated into a Spiritual Body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (giving us our spirit: our divine attributes of life); and man became a living soul" (giving us the source of life). Genesis 2:7

Now, we possess the Spiritual Personage of God in a created way because we have been created by three Persons so that in that world which is to come we can possess a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in reference to Our Own Individual Nature of life. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy (the earthly man who possesses a physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (the Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Corinthians 15:49 Therefore, if we want to learn more about the greatness of our own creation of life, we should realize we have been created so that we can possess the Spiritual Personage of God which would be a Spiritual Body and an Eternal Soul and Spirit because we will become a Spiritual Person in our Heavenly Home. This means that in heaven we will become all that God is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are the heirs of God. The Bible says, "We are the heirs of God." Romans 8:16-17

I. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Spiritual Personage of Christ which would be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Their Own Individual Nature of Life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. This is why we in being an alien sinner must be baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins by being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit so that we can become a New Testament Christian. Our Lord said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in being our Redeemer, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 3:27

II. We have been redeemed so that we can possess the Spiritual Personageof Christ which would be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life because we are a new creature in Christ. Paul said concerning the traits of our own redeemed personage of life, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Now, we possess the Spiritual Personage of Christ in a redeemed way because we have been redeemed by three Persons so that in that world which is to come we will possess a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in reference to Our Own Individual Nature of life. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy (the earthly man who possesses a physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (the Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Corinthians 15:49 Therefore, if we desire to learn more about the glory of our own redemption of life, we must know that we have been redeemed so that we can possess the Spiritual Personage of Christ would would be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit because we will become a Spiritual Person in our Heavenly Home. This signifies that in heaven we will become all that Christ is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are joint-heirs (equal heirs) with Christ. The Bible says, "We are joint-heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16-17

I. We must magnify the Spiritual Personage of God and the Spiritual Personage of Christ in matters of our own creation and redemption of life so that we can become like those three Persons who equally created and redeemed our own spiritual personage of life. "What? know ye not that you body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not you own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

II. If we keep the commandments, we will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally possess the Spiritual Personage of God and the Spiritual Personage of Christ which would be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because in heaven we will equally possess Their Spiritual Personage of life in matters of Our Own Individual Being of life.

I. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Spiritual Personage of God which is a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin.

II. The Father and the Son Relationship which exist between God and Christ is the being of a Father-head Figure and an Offspring Status Relationship instead of being two Persons because those three God-Persons, who are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, equally made Themselves to work in the Name of Christ in being called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit so that They could be our Redeemer.

III. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Spiritual Personage of Christ which is a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. 

IV. God and Christ are the two Divine Names in which three Persons who equally are working in matters of our own creation and redemption of life because we have been created and redeemed by three equal Persons who are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer so that in that world which is to come we can become equal (having power, rule and authority) with Them.

A. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Spiritual Personage of life which will be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is sown a nature body, it is raised a spiritual body, There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Who (our Lord) shall change our vile body (our fleshly body), that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body (His Spiritual Body), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. And as we have borne the image of the earthy (the earthy man who possesses a physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (the Spiritual Person who has a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Corinthians 15:44, Philippians 3:21,1 Corinthians 15:49

B. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Powers of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "If we suffer, we shall also reign (rule) with him (the Lord our God). If we deny him, he also will deny us. To him that overcometh (the forces of evil) will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. And to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And they shall reign (rule) for ever and ever" (over the powers of Satan). 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelation 3:21, Revelation 2:26-27, Revelation 22:5

C. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Nature of life in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "It is written in your law, I said, Ye (created men) are gods. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures can not be broken. God has given unto us many exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Him that overcometh (the powers of Satan) will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Of whom (God) the whole family in heaven and earth is named." John 10:34-35, 2 Peter 1:4, Revelation 3:12, Ephesians 3:15

D. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Attributes of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Be ye also merciful, as your Father also is merciful. He that overcometh (the powers of sin), the same shall be clothed in white raiment (having his Divine Attributes Perfected): and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angles. For there shall in no wise enter into it (the Heavenly City) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." Matthew 5:48, Luke 6:36, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 21:27

E. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Immortality of life in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "Which in his times he shall shew who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords: Who only hath immortality (the Lord in all of His Power and Glory only has immortality, but the Lord has promised to give unto us those same Spiritual Blessings of Immortality), dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. To them (the Christians) who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life." 1 Timothy 6:15-16, Romans 2:7

I. We can't Scripturally make a centralized head (a ranked hierarchy) to rule in the New Testament Church because we are all equal in matters of our own creation and redemption of life. This is why the clergy and the laity class of people can not Scripturally exist in the New Testament Church because no one redeemed person can Scripturally rule a congregation of the Lord's Church. Therefore, we should not call any redeemed person: Reverend or Father because those are Divine Titles which belong unto the Lord our God (not redeemed man). "Holy and reverend is his name. Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Psalms 111:9, Matthew 23:9 

II. We can't Scripturally make any created person to be any greater than we are in a created way, nor can we Scripturally make any created person to be any less than we are in a created way because we are equal in matters of our own creation of life. This is why no one race of people is any greater than another race of people because we are all equal in reference to our own creation of life. Therefore, we should not respect any one person above another person because God is no respecter of persons. "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. If ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilt of all." Acts 10:34-35, James 2:9-10 

III. We can't Scripturally make any redeemed person to be any greater than we are in a redeemed way, nor can we Scripturally make any redeemed person to be any less than we are in a redeemed way because we are all equal in matters of our own redemption of life. This means that no one priest, elder, or bishop has any more power, rule and authority than another priest, elder or bishop because no one redeemed man can Scripturally rule a congregation of the Lord's Church. Each congregation of the New Testament Church is autonomous (self-ruled) because of the equality of our own creation and redemption of life. Therefore, Christ (not a redeemed man) is the head of the Church. "Christ is the head (the ruler) of the church; and he is saviour of the body: the Church." Ephesians 5:23
