In the Bible, does the '"day of the Lord" refer to the end times starting after the rapture? These verses suggest that the Day of the Lord starts with different periods in respect to the rapture. Joel 3:31, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 and Isaiah 13:9. Can you please explain these verses to me as to when exactly the day of the Lord begins?

Do the scriptures have anything to say on the celebration of one's birthday?

in 1 John 5:6 the Bible says that Jesus came by water and blood. What is this talking about? Does this point to the water and blood that flowed from Jesus' side when He was speared, to the water of baptism, to water as a type of the word of God or is it pointing to something else?

When we look at the death of Christ on the cross, we find that His blood is a key factor in several aspects of our salvation. Why does God require a blood sacrifice? What is the significance of the blood sacrifice?

Why does 2 Samuel 12:8 say that God gave wives (plural) to David if it was intended for man to have only one wife?

I have been baptized in father son and holy ghost I have repented of my sins and have received the holy ghost. I started at a new Apostolic church. Last week it was brought to my attention that if I wasn't baptized in Jesus name I would not enter the kingdom of God. I publicly acknowledge Jesus and I have always believed that my baptism was right. If I have been baptized in the father son and holy ghost and he is one isn't that the same as being baptized in Jesus name?

Can I get scriptures that support baptism as part of salvation besides Mark 16:16?

What is the correlation/connection between water baptism and church membership? I see where Acts 2:41 references both baptism and adding to the church in the same context, but have not found where baptism is clearly required for church membership.

Are all sins created equal? For example, like comparing someone who committed suicide to someone who said God's name in vain. Would they both receive the same punishment?

There is a difference in Jesus Genealogy found in Matthew chapter 1 and Luke chapter 3. What annoys me is that one of the gospels traces Jesus back to Solomon while the other traces it back to Nathan. How can we explain that?
