You must repent. Is that adding to the blood of Jesus? I think that it isn't. The blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). However, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman. So, He is not going to sanctify you against your will...

It is throughout the context of Acts chapter 10.

Yes, I also received the Holy Ghost before being water baptized... What I am contending for is that God can indeed save people with Acts 2:38-39 salvation. I am saying that if someone doesn't yet have the Holy Ghost, they can receive Him as the direct result of fulfilling the condition of the...

There were extenuating circumstances so God made an exception in Acts 10 to the rule in Acts 2:38-39.

Also, it was the Father who became the only begotten Son of God when He incarnated and took on an added nature of human flesh. Isa 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The...

You have no scripture to back up your point of view... However we have scripture to back up our point of view that you will be condemned if you continue to stay in unbelief and denial as concerning the doctrine of the Deity of Christ. Exo 3:14, And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he...

Nice.

I got the doctrine in question from a teacher at Biola who was teaching a class on the book of Acts.

Romans 16:17...for the doctrine that was taught to the saints included all of the passages that show forth the Deity of Christ.

I haven't lost the ball game...I've been baptized in Jesus' Name.

In Acts 10, it was a time of transition in the church in which Gentiles were not accepted as believers, and would not have been accepted as believers except God do what He did by giving the Holy Spirit to the Gentile converts before they were baptized. Because they were filled with the Holy...

The Pharisee thought that he was obedient and was even proud of his own obedience. The publican knew that he had been disobedient and cast himself on the mercy of the Lord; and went away justified. He was saved by grace.

I am not going to argue my point any further. You either get it or you don't. It may even be a heart issue rather than an intellectual one.

Actually, Philippians 2:12 is nicely reiterated in a way that we can understand in 2 Peter 1:10.

It's not an issue that anyone is to divide over, according to Romans 14.

The understanding that baptism is not a work deals with any apparent contradictions.

Even if you are baptized "because of" remission sins, the Holy Ghost is promised as the result. And your interpretation that it is "because of" is not necessarily accurate.

Amen and when we walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, the righteousness of the law is (practically) fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4). Not the letter, but the spirit (Romans 7:6).

I don't keep the sabbath perfectly; but I do try to keep it on Saturdays. I am not 7th day Adventist or Messianic; but I was influenced by books from the former early on in my Christian life.

Those who are under the New Covenant have the law written on our hearts and in our minds (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14; Romans 5:5). Our being delivered from the law means that we are no longer under its...
