    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I'll teach how all christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit today. This indwelling is not Holy Spirit baptism which was miraculous Also it is not gifts of the Holy Spirit for that was also miraculous and could only be given through the laying on of the apostles hands. No apostles...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Yes, same Philip but what was Philip receiving in Acts 6? Why did the apostles lay hands on him? Acts 6:1, read on - now in those days when the number of disciples was multiplying there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Helenists because their widows were neglected in the daily...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Excellent observation!!!! Very impressed you knew that!!! Yes but they were not imparting miraculous gifts. They were laying hands on those men as a gesture of approval for there appointment. Read the whole chapter and you will learn the laying on of hands in chapter 6 never mentions anything...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    What is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? None The apostles were promised it, Luke 24:49, - Jesus: Behold I send the  promise of My Father upon you but tarry in Jerusalem until you(apostles) are endued with power from on high John was speaking to the apostles when he said...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The book of Titus... Titus 3:5 Correct not saved by my works apart from Gods grace. Not saved by mans works only does God command that man work the works of God, John 6:28-29. God requires works of righteousness in order to receive His saving grace. Paul is teaching Titus in 3:5 that apart from...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    Have you ever noticed those who believe in miraculous healing today never see it when its happening? It's always someone else telling this story that happened to another person in another country or they claim they saw it on tv!!! If miracles occur today, why does no one perform one right in...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    "Faith healings dont happen anymore" Correct. Notice when these charismatic TV evangelists fail to "heal" they accuse the sick of not having enough faith? The REALITY: The Scriptures put the faith on the person praying for healing!!! You think a true believer cannot pray for an atheist to be...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    You dont understand the verses you quote because you have been taught to view the scriptures through TULIP colored glasses.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    You absolutely did you just don't realize that you admitted what I wanted you to say. Fact: God has given a commandment that must be obeyed/worked to be saved, 1John 3:23-24, - and this is Gods commandment that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ... You admitted this work is...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Yes because calvinism's god makes them not believe, hahaha It never suited the true God of the Bible to cause anyone to not believe *Therefore cause them to burn in hell, John 2:2, - and God Himself is the propitiation for our(the elected) sins and NOT for ours only but also for the WHOLE...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    So you have just admitted that we must work a commandment of God to be saved, 1John 3:23-24. Which disproves your false gospel of salvation apart from works. You have disproven your gospel for me. I thank you for your honesty Sir. Where I do not agree is that you claim we do not work the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Misrepresentation!,, Works of righteousness never merited salvation I never taught that we merit our salvation. You already have been corrected on those multiple times. You are a liar for claiming I teach a meritorious works based salvation. Paul includes obedience which is the works that are...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    You're not addressing my question. What about those who never believe in this life? Are they at fault because God did not have His Holy Spirit work the commandments through them? How can someone who according to you cannot believe be guilty of unbelief if God has not chosen to give them the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Answer my question, Can you be saved by not obeying Gods commandment to believe in Jesus Christ? 1John 3:23-24 You need to learn that we do Gods commandments. God does not do His commandments for us. The doing the commandment to believe is a work. You cannot be saved without works. No...

    What part of no scripture given

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Hahaha, never claimed the burning was physical fire as here on earth. That's your assumption Sir, Mark 9:46, - where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched You are denying hell is where people burn in "fire". You are contradicting the Bible

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Can you not obey the commandment of God in the new testament and be saved? Doing Gods commandments are works of righteousness., Acts 10:35= Psalm 119:172 1John 3:23-24, - and this is Gods commandment that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another as He gave us...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Wrong, you do not understand what this verse is saying, Revelation 21:8 ALL those mentioned in this verse which includes unbelievers will burn in the lake of fire. No reason for the word of God to warn us if we are all going to be saved.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Wrong!!! You say everyone becomes a believer. Not in this life only in the next. God says those who die in unbelief will burn in hell, Revelation 21:8 unbelievers will be in the lake of fire
