I never stated that God restricted Himself to a particular place. My point has always been that God is omnipresent and not confined to any specific location. If there was any misunderstanding, I’d be happy to clarify further.

MaxInDHouse:
According to the Bible He is a happy God {1Timothy 1:11} this means He hates to be sad {Genesis 6:6} so He restricted Himself to focus only on faithful people who always makes Him proud {Proverbs 27:11 compare to Job 1:8} that's why His only begotten son could say unbelievers are dead from God's standpoint {Luke 9:60} because they are like any other creature so He doesn't even know they exist since their dealings will sadden His hearts and His eyes are too pure to look at evil deeds {Habakkuk 1:13} this is the reason why He empower some angels to serve as His eyes {Ezekiel 10:12} these are the creatures that are moving throughout the earth {2 Chronicles 16:9} they are the ones bringing reports back to Him regarding where things are becoming unbearable! Genesis 18:20-21

But by the time He brings His judgement and destroy all evildoers He will return to His former ways of looking at everything because by then the earth will be filled with His knowledge and His blessings will be upon all those living! Isaiah 11:9

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

I just hope you won't return to what you said below because it simply means you don't want clarification.



In Hebrews language doing something in someone's name means applying the knowledge of such a person in what we do.
Baptism first came by John the baptist as a sign of repentance to the mosaic laws so baptism that Jesus is talking about means people throughout the world need to know the God of Israel, His son sent to redeem mankind and the part God's Holy Spirit will play in our salvation.

Then apply the knowledge of God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit.

I understand your reasoning, but I still maintain that God is never restricted to a particular place, no matter the situation. Most of the attributions in the texts you referenced especially in Genesis 6:6 are anthropopathic—human-like descriptions to help us relate to His actions.
Moreover, God does not focus only on faithful people. Matthew 5:45 makes it clear that He provides for both the righteous and the unrighteous, showing that His presence and care extend to all, not just those who please Him. While He delights in the faithful, He does not ignore or become unaware of unbelievers. His omniscience means He knows all things, even if He disapproves of sinful actions.
The idea that He "does not know" unbelievers is metaphorical, emphasizing their spiritual disconnection rather than literal ignorance. Even in judgment, His presence remains everywhere, and He continues to govern all creation. His holiness may lead to separation from sin, but that does not mean He withdraws or restricts Himself in any way.

The manifestation of God in every place is not the same as God is everywhere.
God can choose to put his manifestation in a particular place just like Jacob met God at mount peniel where a Portal was opened to him unaware.

If you are running from church to church make sure you go to Church where God has chosen to manifest his power so that you don't waste time thinking God is in every Church whereas God has left the Church long time ago because of the atrocities in the church.

May God help us and open our spiritual eyes to know where God manifestation is present rather thinking God is everywhere.

You have to first understand that the Church is not a building


And God does not live in a built church no matter how big

But you can't explain what you mean by Omnipresence as regards your belief in God!

God2man2again:
There is a place inside the church called Altar.

Altar is a place where people offer sacrifice and offerings.
Altar is a place where God angels are ascending and descending.

The problem is, which God is on your church altar?
