Infant baptism results from two false doctrines. The first is the doctrine of Original Sin, the second is the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. The doctrine of Original Sin claims that all come into the world at birth stained with the sin of Adam. That is blatantly false. Sin is the...

It doesn't say that. You misunderstand the different roles of the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Holy Spirit is given to all who are saved. That is the baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit. That is not the empowering Holy Spirit that was given only to a few select indiviuals. The Baptism in (the...

Those are two separate and distinct prophetic promises. They were likely issued days apart. The baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit was a promise first made by John the Baptist. That was a promise given, not to just a few select individuals, but to the mass of believers who had come out to...

They received the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit when they were baptized. They did not receive the empowering Holy Spirit until the apostles laid hands on them. Act 5:32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

Baptism in the Holy Spirit is one and the same as receiving the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit when water baptized. Therefore, the apostle Paul received the baptism in the Holy Spirit when he "arose and was baptized, washing away his sins" (Acts 22:16). This is the gift that all...

Yes, Act 5:32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

Yes, And also Mark 16:16. How about you?

Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us? And have you obeyed the gospel?

Neither does your saying so.

So you are deciding who is lost and who is saved. You and God. Interesting.

So says the ignorant.

So says the Zwingliist.

God has spoken to you only through His written word. What you think is "the Living Spirit witnessing God's truth to your heart/spirit" is nothing more than your own, not God's, personal feelings. It is not a good source of truth. Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and...

You are promoting Galatianism. You need to read and study carefully Paul's letter to the Galatians. Yes, once saved always saved is a lie. However, you do not lose salvation through sinning, nor by not doing enough work. We are saved by grace through faith. One can lose their salvation only...

I am with you on some of that but not all of it. The Bread and Wine ritual and the Good Deeds have nothing to do with being saved. Both are works to be done by the one who has been saved. Being saved is accomplished by God in an instant. Having sins forgiven and being given the gift, the...

And no way Paul would have baptized those Ephesians again if it were only to demonstrate to the community that they were already saved.

Nope it is not

No He doesn't. But man does, including you.

He has misinterpreted what John said. John said "Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Spirit AND fire, not Spirit or fire. In that case fire is a cleansing fire, a purifying fire. It is the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit given to the repentant believer in water baptism (Acts 2:38).
