Yes. Do you believe that the whole Bible should be taken by faith? Did not God give us holy instructions to obey Him in the New Testament? Are not God’s holy instructions a part of the faith? Yes, or no?

That’s what dumb. Apples and the apple tree are connected. If apples come from an apple tree, the apples do show that the tree is an apple tree and not another kind of tree. Nowhere did I say that the apple (fruit) causes the tree to be (or turn into) an apple tree. I am saying that the...

I think we should pray for our enemies or those we strongly disagree with and we strive to speak in love towards them.

Uh, your missing the point here. Acts 2:38 was to the Jews who already believed in God. Acts 10 was for the Gentiles (Cornelius and his family) and they were not told by Peter to repent and be baptized whereby they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Peter was just telling them the...

Are you implying your Catholic or you are a part of the Roman Catholic Church?

Do you preach that we must build an Ark to avoid a global flood? That’s kind of how I see Acts 2:38. You are making an instruction that applied to the Jews, and your enforcing those same words in Acts 2:38 upon Gentiles (when Peter did not use those same words with the Gentiles). In addition...

I explained Acts 2:38 using the Bible. So I am not skipping anything. I believe Acts 2:38 applied to the Jews during that time (based on Peter’s past experience involving John the baptist’s water baptism even though the Lord changed water baptism to Spirit baptism after His resurrection.). God...

How on Earth you see water baptism in 1 Corinthians 6:11 is beyond me, friend. Again, logic dictates that we have to deal with the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:17. Paul says he came not to baptize, but to preach the gospel. Paul was an apostle. Paul said this long after Pentecost. Paul...

No. I believe Jesus is saying that he that is baptized shall be saved but I believe our Lord was referring to Spirit baptism and not water baptism.

@Truther 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” This shows that when we accept Jesus as our Savior, our hearts our WASHED (like with water) and sanctified...

@Truther Mark 16:16 says: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” If one believes Ephesians 2:8-9, and they also believe that water baptism is for salvation: Well, this is a problem if they are claiming that believers are initially and...

@Truther You also need to take under consideration that Peter was NOT talking about Initial Salvation for the Gentile in Acts of the Apostles 2:38. All of the believers at Pentecost were Jewish believers in God and they knew Scripture. Jews already believe in God. So this was a call back to...

The three things that let me know that water baptism has ended are these: #1. Hebrews 9:10 says, “Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.” The word “washings” is the Greek word “baptismos” (βαπτισμός)...

Well, he is Catholic. So he takes the Catholic interpretation. In fact, this would mean he believes in infant baptism (Which is not biblical). But Biden is not a good Catholic, for he defends abortion (Which is something the Catholic Church condemns). Granted, Catholicism itself is crazier...

Did Cornelius and his family receive the gift of the Holy Spirit before they were baptized? According to Scripture… the answer is yes. They received the Spirit before they were water baptized (Thus proving you don’t need to be water baptized to receive the gift of the Spirit).

I made excellent points with Scripture that refute your thinking here. If you don’t want to deal with the verses, then by all means. But 1 Corinthians 1:17 cannot be believed by you in good conscience or with a pure heart if you believe Acts of the Apostles 2:38 is speaking in entirely in...

First, somebody can tell you that you are a Genesis skipper if you don’t build an Ark to avoid a global flood, but that would not be correct of them to say that because we know that such a command applied only to Noah and his family, and not to us Christians today. Second, do you believe all of...

@Truther Ephesians 4:5 says: “One Lord, one faith, one baptism,” I believe the one baptism mentioned above here in Ephesians 4:5 is Spirit baptism and not water baptism (Which refutes the idea that we must be water baptized to be initially saved). While there are other verses, I believe the...

In Acts of the Apostles 2:38: I believe Peter was speaking the correct words by the Spirit, but his understanding was not correct on what the word “baptize” meant for the New Covenant. Thus, Peter baptized with water (fulfilling OT pictures and symbols of the inward reality), but the Lord truly...

You are looking at one point in time when a person exercises their faith and yet you are ignoring another point in time of how that faith continues in their life (like involving doing acts of faith or works of faith). Faith starts off as a belief alone but it does not remain that way. Faith...
