Care to explain why? With scripture too? Surely there are enough scripture to show my concern as valid. How do you test the spirits from the real indwelling Holy Spirit?

Do not confuse unbelievers with former believers. Unbelievers, as in they never had believed in Jesus Christ, are not saved. They have no foundation laid by Jesus Christ nor the seal of adoption. Former believers have been saved but err from the truth and had their faith overthrown, but...

Show me where the scripture explicitly states "calling" them "teachers". 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. As I read it, Paul...

You are right. I leave the convincing to Him, but I do see what is written for why they are not saved and that is by them not believing in Him, so... it is not a stretch to believe Jesus was referring to the promise of the baptism with the Holy Spirit for those that came to & believed in Jesus...

Since Peter bothered to defer from water baptism as not the water that puts off the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God which is believing in Him, that would explain the baptism of the Holy Ghost as what saved us. Being born again of the Spirit is when a believer...

That was a significant moment and why they were given proof because every Jewish convert to Christianity, even His disciples, were under the order not to preach the gospel to the Gentiles but to the lost sheep of Israel. That was why God had to give Peter a vision to compel him to go to the...

Luke, who written the Book of Acts as led by the Holy Spirit, said they did for why they had received the gift of the Holy Spirit at their salvation.

John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor...

John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor...

More like.. 38 Then Peter said unto them, Believe in Him, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Peter was addressing the Jews that had crucified Christ BECAUSE they had not believed in Him. They...

Tongues are to serve as a sign towards the unbelievers; not as a sign towards the believers that they had received the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With...

I can say it is the other way around. So who is right? By how much emphasis Paul or even Peter placed on it for salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For...

The cause for the result for not believing in Him is the same cause for the result for believing in Him. If not believing in Him is how they are damned, then believing in Him is how they are saved. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16...

No. That is why I'd say that believers are misapplying water baptism in Acts 2:38 as to how to get the remission of sins when Repent was mentioned first which is to repent from unbelief for why they had crucified Christ and thus by believing in Him is how they got the remission of sins as the...

Can you avoid downgrading posters and just address the issue, brother, or are you finding it impossible to do that? No. Jesus wanted us to avoid being like them for why He said not to be called by those titles when you read verse 8 & 10 with verse 9. Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi...

You are alluding to water baptism when I believe He is alluding to the baptism with the Holy Ghost at salvation. That is why it is written those who do not believe in Him are not saved rather than those who do not believe and are not baptized are not saved. Like I said, water baptism is an...

Peter said to the Gentiles plainly that it was by believing in Him is how one receives the remission of sins. Then comes the gift of the Holy Ghost hence the born again of the Spirit at our salvation at the calling of the gospel because.. Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the...

There are no scripture testifying to the sabbath having been moved to the first day of the week for the churches to call that day the new sabbath day. And there is a reason for that. Because when believers are profaning the actual sabbath day, they are guiltless because Jesus is with them...

Then why didn't Peter stick to the script to the Gentiles? Why didn't God? Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

I believe Jesus was deferring Christian leaders from using that title or be called by that title in the service of Him along with Rabbi & Master.
