Below are ALL the references for the term first fruits in the New Testament
Romans 8:23 KJV
[23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 11:16 KJV
[16] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Romans 16:5 KJV
[5] Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:20 KJV
[20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15:23 KJV
[23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Corinthians 16:15 KJV
[15] I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
James 1:18 KJV
[18] Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Revelation 14:4 KJV
[4] These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
If after these you still claim to be giving first fruits as an obligation under the new covenant, please return the Spirit of adoption and request your name be deleted from the book, since you are an exception to the spirit of truth and should be so treated.
We can't claim anyone manipulated you as you are no longer a prey but a willing slave.
Blessings
