No. Peter was baptizing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as instructed and this also involved the receiving of the gift of the Spirit. John's baptism did not include these two elements. Truth is not established by particular groups or churches. Truth is established by what God's Word...

First, in Acts 21:26, the English word “should” is an archaic word in this instance, and it is merely saying “shall.” King James Bible Dictionary - Reference List - Should Meaning, I shall go down to store today. It does not mean I am saying I should go down to the store (by our modern...

In Hebrews 8:13: I believe it is giving an account of when Jesus told His disciples about how the fruit of the vine in the cup was the New Testament (New Covenant) representing the shedding of His blood. It was then at the Lord’s supper that the Old Covenant was ready to vanish away when Jesus...

First, it needs to be established that Pentecost was a call back to the Jew to salvation. The Jews already believed in God. So when we encounter Gentiles involving water baptism, they were first saved by God's grace and received the Spirit before being water baptized. So baptism is not the...

The word “Godhead” (in the KJB) is simply another name for Trinity. Although those who have been hoodwinked by Textual Criticism (Who do not believe any Bible is the perfect inerrant Word of God that exists on our planet) will say otherwise. Chapter numbers and verses were also added later...

I am fully convinced now that water baptism is for Christians today. So I agree with you. Good point. I agree. I agree. Also, nowhere does the Bible condemn water baptism. So those who believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism are only believing that way based on a loose connection...

It’s why before 1943 the Roman Catholic Church did not allow their own people to study the Scriptures. Italy was once an ally of Germany in 1940 (Note: You can see photos of Hitler with Catholic priests). In 1943: Italy turned against their German friends due the oppression they experienced...

Yes, I once believed Spirit baptism replaced water baptism (Based on circumstantial Scriptural evidence); But after looking at what the Bible says clearly, I have changed my viewpoint on this. Spirit baptism has not replaced water baptism. Christians must be water baptized as a part of living...

First, nobody here has taken up the challenge to show if I did anything wrong here. This should speak volumes. Second, I read through the recent post again and I don’t see how I falsely accused here. Let’s review the stated words here: A particular post in this thread stated - >>> 1. There...

In any event, may God’s love shine upon everyone here.

Maybe I misunderstood a particular post here but I don’t believe I falsely accused. In either case, I see this as a distraction away from the real point that keeps getting ignored here. Most in the Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation Camp do not believe the words of Jesus when He warned us about...

I read through the comments again and I don’t see how I falsely accused anyone here. If somebody else besides the accuser could help me to see something I am missing it would be greatly appreciated. For I believe it is wrong to falsely accuse and if I did so without realizing it, I would like...

Not interested. Be patient. I will in time refute the Catholic Church here (Lord willing).

Again, no false accusation was made. #1 listed in a particular post that basically says “there is no belief alone” and then it leads into talking about “trust alone” which to this poster appeared to be different by my use of that word. My label of “Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism” was...

I am for the Bible. So this ultimately leads to the narrow road viewpoint that is not personal by any means. Also, I cannot convince you. Only God and His Word can do that.

To all: First, I love you all in Jesus Christ. Second a particular post here is not unique to holding to a unique isolated singular indivIdual view that my claim of “Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism” is not true because they say there is no such thing as “belief alone” but it is “trust...

In good conscience, I don’t believe I have falsely accused anyone here. I am willing to admit when I am wrong even by others who to treat me unfairly. I believe my words are fair in light of what was said.

May the Lord Jesus bless everyone here. I merely expressing my opinion to all here and not anyone specific (that is unique to them outside of a generally held belief). My disagreement is ultimately with the wrong belief in general and not any particular individual. A person may share in a...

The attack that was made was against my claim of the existence of “Protestant Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism.” Belief is trust. There is no such thing as a belief in God’s Word without trust. To truly believe is to trust God’s Word. Holding to only certain truths in the Bible is...

Like I said…. One can be saved at one point in time or one moment in time without doing any work (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Titus 3:5) (Romans 11:6). If this was not the case, then the words of Paul would contradict the words of Jesus and I just don’t see that as a possibility because God’s Word is...
