You mock Jesus and scripture.
You contradict your own self by saying to obey everything Jesus said.
When you are shown precisely why that statement is wrong, you would respond with "It's NEVER wrong to obey Jesus", which is also shown to be an incorrect statement due to Jesus commanding His followers to not tell anyone he was Jesus the Christ.
Face it, GT, not everything Jesus said is to be obeyed by us.

There is only one baptism of the Holy Spirit, but that baptism is given to those who humble themselves as a small child which means to be a person that is willing to do anything and everything that God says, just like a good child with his parents. One of the things that God says to do is to get water baptized. We have to obey by getting water baptized just like we have to obey and abstain from adultery and stealing, etc.

That is right; and, the Jews who were not cut off when Jesus came to earth, those are the Jews that were already saved and now they had to go through Jesus. Jesus put people in him when he walked the earth.

That is too goofy to even respond to.
Jesus came and gave the rules and guidelines to get in the new covenant, and then he shed his blood for the new covenant.
When it says " in the midst of you", do you think that means it is in the heart and mind only, but not a real place?
I can't go much further with ya till I know if that is what you think.

The Restoration of Israel
Ezekiel 34:11 For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day.
That has already happened when Jesus came.
13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.
Jesus feeds us with the word of God.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God. 16 “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.
17 “As for you, My flock, thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats. 18 Is it too slight a thing for you that you should feed in the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures? Or that you should drink of the clear waters, that you must foul the rest with your feet? 19 As for My flock, they must eat what you tread down with your feet and drink what you foul with your feet!’”
Jesus is the Rest.
20 Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them, “Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you push with side and with shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad, 22 therefore, I will deliver My flock, and they will no longer be a prey; and I will judge between one sheep and another.
23 “Then I will set over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David will be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.
25 “I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate harmful beasts from the land so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing. 27 Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28 They will no longer be a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them; but they will live securely, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will establish for them a renowned planting place, and they will not again be victims of famine in the land, and they will not endure the insults of the nations anymore. 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,” declares the Lord God. 31 “As for you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God,” declares the Lord God.

Jesus said he came to fulfill. Jesus did what he came to do.
Jesus said it was finished.
Luke 24:44
He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
Luke 22:37
It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
John 4:34
"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
John 17:4
I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Acts 1:6
(1:6) When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Read what Jesus tells them. He tells them to wait for the Holy Spirit that will give them power.
Power to do what?
Power to preach the message that will save people and give them the Holy Spirit!!!
THAT IS THE RESTORATION.
We are restored when we are reconciled to God.
Being reconciled to God happens when Jesus lives in you and you in him.

Those saved have the kingdom of heaven inside them.
We receive the kingdom of heaven when we receive the Holy Spirit. We recieve the Holy Spirit when we are saved.
The time came to receive the kingdom of heaven when John the baptizer came, for we must repent of our sins to be saved and receive the kingdom of heaven.
See Matthew 17:11-12.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
Ephesians 1:10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
(That is about Jesus appearing the first time.)
Jesus says all things are restored, see Matthew 17:11-12; and Mark 9:12. David’s fallen tent is restored see Acts 15:16.
Jesus came and fulfilled what was written.
Read Amos 9:11-12.
Matthew 5:21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'
When people come to Jesus in faith, they are being restored. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us, he lives to intercede for us. We are being reconciled unto God. The ministry of the Apostles is the ministry of RECONCILIATION. See 2 Corinthians 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Romans 8:34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
We receive the kingdom of heaven when we receive the Holy Spirit. We recieve the Holy Spirit when we are saved.
The time came to receive the kingdom of heaven when John the baptizer came, for we must repent of our sins to be saved and receive the kingdom of heaven.

No, He is now sitting at the throne of His Father (Rev.3:21). That throne existed before the world was while the throne of David did not begin until the 10th century BC.
Can you not tell the difference?
