What were the physical or spiritual consequences of your actions that prompted you to term it unhealthy? What method are you currently on thats working for you now?

Christians need to understand that bathing or washing in the water under the Old testament is a picture (shadow) of water baptism and the washing or cleaning by the word of God. It's all shadows then under the Old and in Christ, Christians have the reality and fulfillment. Here is it, UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT New International Version Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. - Leviticus 8:6 New International Version Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. - Psalm 51:7 New International Version I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. - Ezekiel 36:25 New International Version Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. - John 3:5 New International Version "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." - John 13:8 New International Version You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. - John 15:3 New International Version Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. - John 17:17 UNDER THE NEW TESTAMENT, We have the fulfillments and reality in Christ. Take a look, New International Version And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. - Acts 22:16 King James 2000 Bible And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:11 New Living Translation For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God's word. - Ephesians 5:25-26 2 Likes |

^ I just gave it to you. There's no such thing as spiritual bathing in the New Testament church and with the Apostles. Faith in the finished work of Christ for you will save and deliver you. Wait o, if the pastor already prayed for you as you said, does that mean he doesn't have faith in the prayer he prayed? 2 Likes |

^ I understand you don't know. Many deceivers are out there. I have come a long way in Christ. I've seen many deceptions in the church people. Herein is my power for living, lemme share with you. English Standard Version And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. - Acts 20:32 It's only God and the word of His Grace that is ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP AND GIVE YOU THE INHERITANCE among ALL those who are sanctified. Think about it! Build you up? Give you THE inheritance? These are not ordinary words, they're powerful if they click to your spirit. Like our heavenly father has good things in stock and wants us to inherit them. You need to lay hold on God and His word of Grace. Take responsibility for yourself and for your life. God can answer you in prayer of faith (with fasting if possible). If you have come to know Christ, you are righteous in Christ. I don't really know your problem though. Every issues are solved with God in Christ. |

As the Rain and Snow come down from Heaven,and do not return to it without Watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,so that it yields seed for the sewer and bread for the eater,so is My Word that goes out from my mouth it will not return to me empty......Ish55:10-11. To make her Holy,cleansing her by the washing with Water through the Word...Ephns5:26. Water is a type of the Word of God in the bible.all you need is to soak/fill yourself with the Word of God,by Reading and Studying your bible daily.by so doing you will be healed and rescued free any satanic bondage....Psalm107:20. You don't have to go to a river/water(which is just a type) to wash,all you need is the Word of God. |

@ I.Chuka, Advice appreciated.Though the bathing is not in the River, its just normal bathroom bathing which i think will comprise some mixture of thing with the water that will be used for the bathing. |

What happened to all the people Jesus told to go wash in the river and they got healed? I'm not siding those pastors doing it because some might be fake of course, but its possible for God to give such instructions to a real man of God...we only need the Holy spirit to discern true from fake pastors....did Jesus not use spit and sand to heal a blind man? If it were these days everybody would say such a pastor is fake...what is wrong in using water to cleanse if its a direction from God? 3 Likes |

Any spirit that tells a Christain to go to any river to wash inorder to be clean is simply not from God Period!! |

The spiritual bath the manis speaking of is not good. This is demonic and not biblical. This will make a covenant for you with the spirits/ demons that are being worked with. After bathing it may seem to work for a while, then things will turn worst than before. Stay away from spiritual baths and if you have had one, go get delivered by a “real” man of God, |

I need you to understand something. Every good thing has it's fake. The fact that some priests have become occultic, going about deceiving people, does not mean God cannot use this method to deliver. These are spiritual things and they are very deep. If you can transfer power to anointing oil and use, you can also transfer anointing to water, soap and bath. However, it depends on the priest, the preparation and the ritual. There are a lot of spiritual rituals in the Bible, even in the new testament. One of them is, the holy Communion, it's a ritual where unleavened bread represents the flesh and the wine, represents the blood of Jesus. This is my prescription, don't patronize pastors who use black soaps and incantation and alcohol as ritual for any spiritual bath, but there are those who use white soap like lux, with honey, coconut, with certain selected Psalms as ritual for spiritual bath. This I believe is the right way. Listen this is Africa, some of these ritual with prayers and a life of righteousness can deliver you from certain bondage, how many have had deliverance and sustained the deliverance by mere prayer and fasting. If however, you are in doubt about this, follow your heart and pray the holy Spirit will lead you aright. 3 Likes |

2nd kings 5. Naaman was asked to bath 7 times in river jordan. John 9. Jesus Christ heals a blind man by commanding him to watch mud off his eyes. I don't have an answer to your question. Maybe there are things we don't fully understand yet 1 Like |

ichuka:Your point is, Jesus Christ asking a man to watch his eyes became wrong after the ressurection? Or that because Paul and Peter did not do it, it is wrong what really is your piont. Are we following the examples of Paul and Peter or Christ examples When Jesus was on earth he was not about living the Jewish life. He was about living the perfect example for us to follow. He went about doing his father's will not doing the Jewish custom. Please let us not second guess Christ's earthly life. He did not come to live like a jew but to be the son of God 2 Likes |

Tcwork:Jesus Christ never said what He did was "spiritual bathing"... Where it was recorded that a woman washed Jesus's feet with her tears, wiped it with her hair and perfumed it afterwards... Was that also spiritual bathing? |
| Re: Is Bathing (Spiritual Bathing) Biblical And Is There Anything Wrong With It? by Tcwork: 7:19pm On Jan 01, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:My point is that in the bible, both old and new testament, a lot of washing was done so to outrightly condemn bathing might not be right. Naaman was comanded to bath 7 times. Christ commanded the blind boy to wash his eyes. Christ feet was washed and he also washed the feet of his disaples. Hence if one is commanded by God to bath, I wouldn't see it as wrong. If you read the scripture, you would find out that many miracles were wrought through various strange means. The Lord something's directs us to do so called strange things. Foe example, Jesus Christ told Peter to go and fish in other to find money to pay tax. The Lord has his ways. Usually they are not our ways 1 Like |

Tcwork:God telling a single individual to take a bath is not spiritual but God commanding obedience as He has in every wise. You, on the other hand claiming that because God commanded a person or more to take a bath implies there is something "Spiritual" about bathing is nothing but the same Spiritual bullsheet that Christianity is today littered with....meaningless doctrines and traditions..lies that have absolutely nothing to do with God or anything He called His followers to. |

Tcwork:Look, God's commandments are explicitly stated - Read the Gospels to learn of them. Those commandments are what God expects of everyone who follows Him. His personal commands to individuals...rest, bath, go grocery shopping, pray for that man sitting there etc. - are just that commands He gave those particular individuals and not to become ritual for anyone not even the one who was commanded. |
