This may be a little off the tract of this discusion but signs, miricles, and wonders follow those that believe. Relgion is not going to get anyone to heaven. Relationship which starts with genuion salvation which is proven by personal extreme change in behavior. Water baptism which is just a public declaration of both faith in Jesus and a promise to grow and mature in fath through the renewal of your mind and behavior by the washing of it by the word of God. The word, the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit are one. For you to become one in them the Holy Spirit must come and abide in you.
