Yep. Harmonized them perfectly. Glad you seen that. No water baptism in either. But a conversion in both. Now, how would you be converted per Acts 3:19 without your water baptism if you say it’s needed in Acts 2:38 to be converted?

No need to keep typing all that out. You don’t have to say “without water”. I know what immersion in Jesus name means. But you can believe that what those people needed that day was a bath and not a change of heart all you want. A physical cleansing will all the sudden give them knowledge of...

I know, it’s beautiful....as all scripture is. Thanks

Thanks Helen for the clarification. I did a double take when I seen “Mark” in your post but then I think he posted afterwards. A lot of new names here for sure. Hoping your health has improved from a few months ago. I visited for a while and didn’t see you on here at all. I don’t like to pry...

Jesus is the way. Not Peter. But this is a deflection. Repent, be immersed in The Name of Jesus and receive the Holy Ghost. Be baptized in His name. Not in water. The water doesn’t become Jesus here. If being immersed in Jesus wasn’t the point and water was, Peter would’ve just said “be baptized...

I’ll bet he would appreciate it. We agree as far as I can see. But either way, I don’t worship nor pray to Peter. I’ll leave that to others.

I’m saying if you repent and get to know (immerse yourself in) Jesus, you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I mean, what good is water if you don’t know Him? Unless you are wanting a bath.

Being baptized into the name of Jesus (immersed in his name) has nothing to do with water. Immersion in water will not change your heart or get you to a better understanding of who Jesus was or now is.

Yep. I'm sure it's been quoted here already but 1 John 5:14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I get...

Garth Brooks Unanswered Prayers, maybe? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi6nOahsfHlAhXtUt8KHSACD-QQyCkwAHoECAkQBQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D9GuA5PZx3K4&usg=AOvVaw1fcDEQpMVd1kGjJcJUDgr9

Yeah I read his latest posts and see nothing in them controversial at all. Pretty mild for Mark actually. I think this site does well with a person like Mark that challenges traditional "cookie cutter" Christian thinking. I hope hes just stepped away for a day or two and when he returns he...

Personally I think the division Jesus is speaking of comes when we convert and become no more “of” this world but yet still in it. While you’ve converted not all members of your family may have. Or friends,etc. Division occurs as we become alive in Christ and separates us from the dead of this...

So we agree.

Most conversations and all debates are started because of differences in (usually) opinions. Should we not find some common ground to build upon with each other and establish communication out of a loving heart so that the brother (who you feel is in error) feels compelled to give your argument...

Still no word from Mark? I haven’t heard a thing.

Lam 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. Lam 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because His Compassions fail not. Lam 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. I love the Lord. The compassion and mercy He has shown me is...

I love this thread. You cannot get more positive than to speak of the Love of Jesus. Praise God! I did not write the message below, but thought it fitting... The Savior who loves you says so from above you, From high on a hill and hung up on a tree. The Savior who loves you cries so from above...

Best post I’ve read here in a while. Amen sister.

Again, amen. I don’t post a lot here simply because I lack the time to do so. But I read posts here everyday for the last few years. As everyone surely already knows, Mark is one of my favorites. I was a very conservative Pentecostal when I first ran across him on another forum. I didn’t care...

Well said Helen and Amadeus.
