    DID PROPHECY STOP WITH JOHN?

    Prophesy was one of the spiritual gifts listed in 1Cor 12:8-10. How were those gifts including the gift of prophesy, made manifest? They were all manifested by the laying on of the apostle's hands. And we're told that the gifts would cease per 1 Cor 13:8. So, you can conclude that the gift of...

    CAN YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES?

    The interlinear says "if in the tongues of men and angels i speak-----", as do other translations, it doesn't say "though", ehuch is a bit misleading; and its simply saying that no matter what tongues may be spoken, whether that of men or even that of a angels and have not love (charity) it's...

    Most people don't know how to read the Bible...

    It's a life-long, never ending endeavor. Start at the beginning and read to the end, over and over, and start putting the pieces together through study thereafter, as questions will be raised in your own mind, and recollection of what you've read will then generate answers as well as more...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Going back to John's baptisms which were immersion in water, and called the "baptism of repentance for the remission of sins" (Mark 1:4). And then to Acts 2:38 which says "be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins", the difference being in the name of...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Your misunderstanding is continued in all the scriptures you cited. 1corinthians 12:13 is actually "in one Spirit", not "by one Spirit". Check out the original Greek in the interlinear as well as other translations. The Greek word is 'en', = in. 1 Peter 3:21: the "qualifier" as you put it...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Water immersion into Christ. Pretty clear by scripture, since being baptized into Christ by immersion is the only way described in the bible that remits sin, places you in the body of believers which is the church, and enables the gift of the Spirit itself to dwell in you enabling you oo become...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    One Baptism and it's water immersion, and 1 Peter 3:21 says it DOES save us. You are misreading Acts 11:16. Read starting from earlier in that chapter, like at verse 5. Those words were said to Peter by the Lord, and he was one of the 11 apostles upon which the Holy Ghost fell as recorded in...

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

    I simply relied on the interlinear on bible hub for Acts2:4 3P 2980 [e] lalein λαλεῖν to speak V-PNA 2087 [e] heterais ἑτέραις in other Adj-DFP 1100 [e] glōssais γλώσσαις tongues N-DFP 2531

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

    "Other tongues" and the interlinear is tongues, 'glossais', in Greek

    THE GOSPEL

    Yep, I understand which is what I tried to made clear to the one I responded to. Basically, anything and everything we do is a "work" due to our physical nature.

    THE GOSPEL

    I'm not going to argue or debate with you over this ridiculous notion. Believe what you like.

    THE GOSPEL

    What is your point? Is this that you cited, the complete SAVING message? Does it say how one is saved? Did Philip tell the Ethiopian eunuch, who wasn't a Jew by the way, more? Philip told the eunuch more. Why do we have all the various scriptures, letters, etc? Because they are all needed to get...

    THE GOSPEL

    What do you mean by "works"? Works ofbthe flesh? We're physical; everything we do coukd be considered some kind of "work", even thinking, only because we're physical. Bur we must obey, and we must therefore.perform sone kind of physical activity to do that which baptism is.

    THE GOSPEL

    You are extremely confused. There is ONE gospel and ONE means of salvation for everyone both Jews and Gentiles, then and now.

    THE GOSPEL

    This is simply stating fact and advocates necessity and OBEDIENCE!
