It was necessary as stated and as recorded. The 3000 were added as recorded in Acts 2, so, that's still part of the aforementioned Acts 2 scenario. No hands of the apostles was laid on anyone and only the apostles spike with other tongues. No record of the number beyond the 3000 either which...

Um Um, yes it is and I know exactly what the Greek word baptizo means; dip, plunge, immerse. In what kool-aid, salsa, ??? Where did John the Baptist baptize? The Jordan River, and that was the precedent set as I mentioned that you conveniently overlooked. Why would anyone think it means...

2 different issues entirely. Acts 10 AND Acts 2 were extremely unique and for very specific reasons. In both cases the Holy Ghost fell unilaterally on the apostles in Acts 2 and on the Gentiles in Acts 10. What was Unique and special requiring the Holy Ghost to fall in such a manner? What did...

What is "save"? What does the word mean? Saved from what? Acts2:38-47 is very clear. Upon belief such as the Jews had come to on the day of Pentecost, 1. They repented 2. Were baptized for the remission of sins 3. Received the gift of the Holy Ghost thereby 4. We're added to the body of...

The answer is simple and found below in Acts 8. The apostles prayed that they MIGHT (not would) receive the Holy Ghost and then laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost.So it required the laying on of the apostle's hands that the MANIFISTATION of the Spirit might happen, the...

Baptism IS water baptism unless otherwise specifically stated starting with the precedent established by John's baptism, so the mere mention of baptism IS water immersion.

Not really helping anyone since your understanding of John's words is lacking. You must understand who John's audience was and must read further in Luke 3 and Matt 3 to further interpret Acts 2 correctly. It was the apostles who were baptized with the Holy Ghost which references back to the...

You continue to be wrong and not understanding scripture. I'm not boasting of my works! Where did you get that from??? Cite the scripture(s) on the so called HS baptizing us. The scripture, if it's the one I think you're referring to is, Romans 6:3-6 below which is clearly referring to water...

1st of all, it's a parable nor does it mean he was saved. Jesus was alive. The requirement for baptism as part of the salvation process didn't come into being until after his death at which point the new testament began. Spirit baptism (not sure what you mean by that term) doesn't replace water...

Tax collector: Please cite the scripture. Read the account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and read Romans 10:9. Confession of belief is prior to being saved not after, so, i don't know what you did nor why, but it wasn't scriptural nor of any value.

Nope I clarified it by my posting.

Not following your logic in quoting this scripture as relates to the subject matter and your previous. Being created "in Christ" (meaning you've already been saved and have been baptized into the body of Christ), for good works is different than so-called "works" as others here reference the...

What about doing the "work" of confessing with the mouth as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and as required by Romans 10:9? What's the difference? Both are required for salvation, but you accept one and reject the other? Why?

What does that mean? Scripturally, not in your words of explanation, but according to scripture

To all those who erroneously claim baptism is a "work". A work of what? Is teaching others a work? Is/was preaching a "work"? Was the laying on of the apostle's hands a "work"? Is believing with the fleshly mind or confessing with the mouth a "work"? Is praying a "work"? Everything done with...

Correct: I do not. I read the words, understand them in their simplicity, and let them lead me to the truth rather then having a predetermined bias regarding a subject such as baptism and itsnecessity, and then trying to do my best to prove the simple scripture to mean something other than what...

I'll cite the scripture once again below. It can't get any clearer or simpler than the scripture itself; even a moron should be able to read and understand it. But instead, those who dont believe or want to believe what it says, go to great lengths to try to explain away the scripture...

You make no sense. Goodbye

Once again, you make no sense. How does one know about sin and repentance? They have to hear. Someone had to preach to them, and if they are convinced that they are on sin and therefore need to repent and believe, they'll repent. If they've .ever realized they are in sin and need to repent how...

You talk in circles. Did the people whom John the Baptist was baptizing just go down to the water where he was to go fishing out of the clear blue or did they go there go go HERE WHAT HE HAD TO SAY? People don't repent out of the clear; they repent because they have been made aware. They heard...
