They baptized in no ones name as did John; it was the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin. And anyone baptized prior to Jesus's death had to be re-baptized as the Ephesians. The scriptures tell you why. It's not just for the remission of sin, but also to receive the Holy Ghost and...

You're both a bit lacking in understanding. Nobody was born again while Jesus was alive. Not possible. No one could be baptized into Christ nor his death to be raised like him as Romans 6 explains, until he was dead. The Ephesians had to be re-baptized since they were baptized unto John's...

There are no religious holidays in the NT nor days to be revered other than the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, wherein the disciples gathered together as the church, to break bread in remembrance of the Lord. The days today that are commonly recognized as religious holidays have been...

You've said a lot to say not much at all that addresses the plain and simple difference in the Greek interlinear and the kjv which I use and like but am also aware of it's minor flaws, i.e., using the word Easter instead of passover, pascha in Greek, in Acts 12:4. You can't use the kjv to...

That makes no sense because all the NT is Greek and translated therefrom. Check our other translations such as the ESV for example which got it right. The ESV is in English by the way if you're hung up on that for who knows why.

Just FYI, it was still the baptism of John that was practiced while Jesus was alive, and not the baptism into Christ because Jesus had not yet died, so no one could be baptized into Christ or into his death as Romans 6 explains. So like the Ephesians in Acts 19, anyone baptized unto John's...

Just one quick comment. The scripture you quoted above 1 Cor 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." Read this same scripture in the original Greek. It's not "by"...

You're both wrong no matter how well intended. Baptism is not an affirmation to the church. That's nonsense. That's not why people were baptized. And baptism is 100% required for salvation. What did the Ethiopian eunuch do when he was converted in Acts 8 and what was the verbal exchange...

It's what the scriptures say. 1 Cor 14:22 22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

You said that, I didn't. Don't change the subject. Were you a member of the Cor congregation 2000 yrs ago? If not, the letter wasn't addressed to you. An imbecile can understand that.

And only a fool would take them out of context by not recognizing they weren't written to us. They are addressed to them not us.

It's simple! Because it's not the only scripture! There are many more that add additional requirements.

The fact of the matter is, no one today has any of the miraculous gifts. They only were manifested by the laying on of the apostle's hands and they are dead and have been for a long time. See Acts 5:12, Acts 6:6-8, Acts 8:9-19, Acts 19:6, 2 Tim 1:6. And to your point about the gifts being given...

The Ethiopian eunuch confessed his belief ad Romans 10 requires, but also had to do more to be saved. He was baptized (Acts 8). Belief and faith, confession of your belief, plus repentance, plus baptism = salvation

If I said to you I will give you a gift but you must do something first before you can get it. You immediately start thinking, wow, wonder what I'm going to get? Will it be a car, or a TV, or boat, or ??? And what will I have to do? Then I tell you what the deal is and what the gift is. The...

Once again, you don't know what you're talking about. 1.Tongues WAS a sign to unbelievers not believers unlike what is going on today, the nonsense you witness in Pentecostal groups 2. Yes, you're speaking to God unless there is an interpreter because you don't know what you're saying without...

You don't know what you're talking about. The Corinthian letters were written to THEM not us as an example. 1 Cor 1:1-3 1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and...

Saved by faith alone is a false doctrine that's contrary to scripture. It's nonsense.

It's not biblical in fact contrary to it. And to your comment about so called intelligent, sensible, people Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
