    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    Yes I agree with you on that and it is through baptism in the name of Jesus Christ that we start this new life we are born again just as Paul clearly teaches in the letter to the Romans in Chapter 6 he deals with what baptism in the name of Jesus Christ does for the lost sinner dead in sin how...

    Not really baptism is a faith response you should know why you are being baptized without the faith behind it it is nothing you are just getting wet.

    Okay sorry if it seems that was directed at you it was a general statement that a lot of people does not understand the teaching on baptism it has more meaning than lets do it because it was asked it also tells what is accomplished and why it is needed.

    If that be true then why so many warnings of false teaching? One must be following the truth of God's word not some other doctrine which is easy for the ears

    Mark 16:16 Isn’t Teaching That You Must Be Water Baptized to Go to Heaven

    Mark 16:16 Isn’t Teaching That You Must Be Water Baptized to Go to Heaven

    Yes that is the human way of looking at it but you can know beyond reason of doubt just what the true reasoning God gives to baptism. It is clearly spelled out what baptism is all about what God does in this simple act don't you want to know the truth.

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    That is a thoughtful response but please show me where this happened again in the way you referred to it here it should be with every conversion if this is meant the way you use it so please show me where it is repeated in this way in the other biblical conversions.

Don't take the preacher at his word but search the scripture to be sure he is speaking only the oracles of...

    Jesus didn’t say, “He who is not baptized will be condemned.” Neither did He say, “He who does not believe and is not baptized will be condemned.” Why did he need to? He said "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." Baptism is...
