    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Baptism in Christ name is not water baptism. I don't know why you think they are the same. Water baptism was something done before the spirit of Christ was given. And then once the spirit of Christ became available we are baptized in the spirit. Not water. And Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    There's no verse recorded saying that the Church once it got going ever mentions water or the need for it. Water baptism is a carryover from part of the Levitical Law. There are many examples of people in the Old Testament who would wash themselves with water as a final step to being clean...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    The Bible refers to them as "gifts" and I did not write the Bible and I'm not making this stuff up. Here read it for yourself... Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    I'm not sure if you even understood what I wrote. When I wrote... Most Christians still believe the spirit of Christ makes their flesh spiritual. And this is why they believe their sins are forgiven when they are born again up to that point, but must run to God to confess and repent their new...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    It's a symbol of the Levitical Law. There are many examples of people in the Old Testament who would wash themselves with water as a final step to being clean. Water baptism was an outward sign of washing, and then you would be clean to God. Baptism in water, and the need to be circumcised...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    To be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ is to be baptized in the spirit which is what you get. Water does nothing.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Here's the problem. The Bible does not say baptize in the name of Jesus Christ (oh and that means with water).

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Most Christians still believe the spirit of Christ makes their flesh spiritual. And this is why they believe their sins are forgiven when they are born again up to that point, but must run to God to confess and repent their new sins every time they sin after becoming a Christian. The belief is...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    1 Corinthians chapters 12-14, is vital to understand the difference between the “gift of holy spirit” and the “manifestations” of that gift of holy spirit, which are also referred to as gifts. Each Christian receives the “gift of holy spirit, at the moment they are saved, born again (Acts 2:38...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Put me down for... Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    Unforgiveness and fellowship with God

    Is there a verse that says all the old testament folks are saved or even called saints?

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    You can skip the above verses you list and start with verse 7 because that's where it stops talking about gifts and starts talking about the operations of the spirit that operates in all Christians who have the spirit. They come with the spirit because they are the things of the spirit. Same...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    It is not a given that our bodies are mostly water. There are other bodies besides humans. We are not the only players on the earth.

    Unforgiveness and fellowship with God

    You cannot be saved until it was available. And such salvation was not available until days after the Christ was resurrected.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    You do seem to assume you are the only player here. I believe the cosmos is a free democracy whereby we are truly blessed or cursed by how we align ourselves in the fight between two cosmic kingdoms. We either share in Christ's victory or we share in Satan's defeat. But we are in either case...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    There are only 5 gift ministries. 9 listed operations of the spirit. And 9 fruits of the spirit. There's nothing else there.

    Unforgiveness and fellowship with God

    David was not a child of God. He was a servant. Do you have a verse that says David was a child of God or that he was born again of the spirit of Christ?

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    Receiving revelation from God (the word of knowledge) is not a gift. It comes with the spirit.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Born of water was your first birth. Your body is made up of more than half water.
