Ritajanice I can not respond to your post it was to long and will not let me reply it is over 1000 words and freezes upon my end says oops something went wrong In reply to your post #56 I do not understand your point of reference it is not telling how to be born again but walking in the spirit.

Taken I am sorry I have misread your statement "he was SEEKING the POWER to Baptize with the Holy Spirit." It is because this is the first time I have heard the ability to transfer the gift of confirmation as the ability to baptize with the holy spirit. In my understanding the laying on of...

Why is it you think that Simon was Baptized with the Holy Spirit? First I said the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ which gives the indwelling spirit as in Acts 2:38 and Acts 19:1-5 and Romans 6 and second because scripture said he was. 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was...

I gave you the word of God if you don't understand it then I have failed to get you to see the truth You said "'you reject God’s word on how I was birthed in the Spirit.." no in my opinion it is Gods word that reject's your view and I tried to show you why but you seem to not be able to...

God draws us to Jesus, he brings us to Godly sorrow/ repentance..he even brought me to believe in Jesus..we must believe in Jesus before the birth can take place, only God can birth us in the Spirit ... This I agree with and is proven in Acts 2 but what is needed to follow through according to...

You said "We don’t obey any command to be birthed in the Spirit..." I admit I did not read any further in your reply because you already contradict the scriptures you yourself posted. Read verse 17 again it does say you obeyed the teachings on baptism he is talking about in verse 3. I agree...

See your view of "the Baptism of the Holy Spirit." is not in context with scripture for one Simon received the indwelling spirit when he was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ he has the spirit of God dwelling in him now it does not happen in the manner you are describing and Acts 19:1-6 makes...

Can you please tell me how we are to obey the command to be birthed with the spirit and while doing can you show scripture that tells how you receive the spirit? I may interpret it differently but I want you to show me with scripture so that I can have the truth and not lean on my own...

Not to be rude but with all due respect I can not discuss emotions but scripture for I can not feel what you are feeling but I can read the scriptures and every thing I do has to be put against scripture to see if it is true.

Just a quick question it is off topic a little but I'm curious. In this passage you posted I am wondering which baptism is in reference according to the scriptures? Is it what you call the baptism in the holy ghost or is it the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. One thing to note here Paul...

Grace my dear sister have you not been following my posting we have been trying to decipher the difference of this and looks like if you let scripture explain it the one baptism is the one that besrs your saviors name the one in the name of Jesus Christ Peter taught in Acts 2:38 I have followed...

Just one more thought. Peter said that in Acts 2 that the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ remits sin and gives the spirit. Can we verify that with other passages? Will one this is the only one that is commanded so that is a good indication that it is the reason and the one referred to when...

I was talking about in this case about God pouring out the spirit on the gentiles it was speaking in tongues that was the sign (verse 46 above ) for the unbelieving Jews that were with Peter. It was the out pouring on the Gentiles as Joel foretold and was a sign to the Jews that the time had...

You are seeking an argument aren't you sorry poster you will have to find it elsewhere May God bless you poster

just curious what are some of the herbs you speak of

I think the Answer is given in Acts 2:38 followed by Romans 6:3ff and Acts 19:1-5 these answers are recorded for our salvation we must believe what is recorded and respond appropriately

That is good one thing I would ask is if the moment of faith and receiving could not have been at the same time as the baptism? could they not have all flowed together into one conversion?

Ok good question I will have to look deeper into this before I can answer

This is not as clear cut as you wish There are two things happening here and we must slowing distinguish between the two This is a good place to show the difference between the spirit UPON and the spirit WITHIN We have to pay attention to the context The spirit upon is when God fills you...

Yes I understand that this is a very controversial topic but we have to reason through it. Yes we will have trouble understanding this because this is a spiritual teaching that has not yet been taught to the public in the time of Nicodemus so yes He did not understand but Jesus tried to explain...
